Pets are good for you!  Studies have shown that just touching…holding…and loving a pet calms the spirit, helps speed recovery after an illness, and slows the heart rate.  Pets also encourage more exercise in their human companions, and are great comforters.  I just can’t imagine never having shared the special joys that a pet can bring into your life.  Be sure to see the individuals bios of all my current pets.
