If you've never owned a pet..

If you've never owned a pet, then you are surely missing out on one of life's greatest pleasures. I can't begin to describe the calming joy that they bring into your life. Here are just a few of the many joys that a pet can bring to your life:

A steady rock when the waves are rough. 




Someone to open presents with.




Someone to sunbath with.





Someone to guard the house when you are gone and a warm kiss, wagging tail included, when you return home.




Someone to nap with on lazy Sunday afternoons.




Someone  to remind you to stop and smell the flowers every now and then.




But most of all just the simple joy of being, whether it be a comfy chair or the cold tile floor.
  



Just enjoy everyday and every breath. Soak up the sun and dance in the rain. To often we try to keep up with the Jones' and miss the little things that make life worth while. We need to take a cue from our furry friends: SLOW DOWN! Who cares if the Jones' have a big house, four cars and a swimming pool. You, my friend, have a roof over your head, clothes on your back and food on the table. But most of all you have more love then they will ever have, you have pets. They love you unconditionally and give more than they receive. In my mind and many others, a house is not a home without a pet. So the next time you have a bad day, hug your pet. Trust me, it is the best medicine in the world!
