De-stress with a dog

6 May

In an article I read recently about cutting down stress, keeping a pet was identified as one way to keep away the stress. Having a furry four-legged to come home to apparently reduces the blood pressure and anxiety and keeps away the frustration.

I believe in this. When I see my four-legged “children” I’m most happy. They give their love willingly, they may wag their tails at other people, but their eyes are only for you.

My thoughts are never far away from them at anytime of the day.  Now and then during the day, I would think about the way they grab their bones, sniff at a tree or jump over a bench. When I’m stressed, I think of them nuzzling my neck and my frustrations will go away.

They are more than pets. They are my constant loyal companions who don’t complain, fret or argue. They are my loyal companions.
