Sorry to be answering late but we were on vacation due to the Passover holidays. Pets are wonderful additions to anyone's life as they give so much and ask for so little in return. Studies have proven that having a pet relieves our stress besides teaching us compassion, unconditional love, living each day as it comes, overcoming obstacles and so much more. On a personal note, my pets have helped me through many rough patches and I can't imagine not sharing my life with a furry, scaly or feathered friend.
