I love dogs.  But letting them live with us inside the house is a think i still have to think over and over again.  I have thought of getting some dog supplies because a friend will give me a puppy dog, but my sis insisted that i should not take the puppy now. She meant to suggest that since her kid is still a baby and might have an allergic reaction to animals hairs, then it is not yet hgh time for me for a dog pet.

My daughter loves to have a pet dog too so that our friendly pet family will grow big.  As of the moment we have two meaowwws – Pacman and Mommy Cat.

For those of you who have pets, I am sure that you will agree with me that caring and tending of our pets brought inner satisfaction in ourselves.  At times we love our pets dearly more than the people around us who does not even care for us a bit.  Like the dog for example, even though how bad the weather is, you would always find the dog at your doorstep to greet you.

Here at home we don’t have the dog but we have cats.  I got this sort of favorite one (because there are no other else to like) who i thought is a she but it’s only the other day i found out that it’s a male cat.    I was so happy because it’s only his mom who is going to give birth to more kittens in the coming weeks.

Now here’s the meowww that all this time i thought is she —

This is the sleepy head.  He loves to sleep in the mornings that even though how much i play with him he just continue closing his eyes but i know he is fully awake because his short tail keeps thumping.

My mom too is very attached to her chickens.  We have chickens around and if she did not send our goats away then this place would be a little barn.  My sister gave birth last week so our lil herd of cows was sold to pay up our hospital bill.  My mom felt sad selling the cows but it is better because we dont have budget for cattle supplies no matter how low their prices these days. We need some medical supplies when the mother cow gave birth. As we sold them, one of she cow is also pregnant so we sold them at 36K.  3 cows at 36K because it’s not only 3 cows, they are already 3 and a half as the other young cow is pregnant with her first.

I read today in Yahoo health news that there are 5 ways pets can improve our health.  There are 5 ways which is also supported by WebMD.   For many years long back, we have dog pets until one died in an accident then  we just did not care to have one again.  The pain of separation was felt.  When we moved in to current place, their was  a stray cat that stayed with us until she gave birth to 4 kitties then later many more.  When she had more we have to sent her away, leaving us her 4 first kittens until the three of them got lost and maybe died and only one left.  For now that lone kitten gave bith to 1 baby and it’s our family’s cuddly pet.  We talked to her (she’s a she) hehehe, play with her.

Reading the news today gave me the assurance that it is not really wrong to have hairy pets. Here are 5 reasons why we should let our pets stay:

1. Prevent allergies: Many new studies show that children who grow up in a household with furry animals or on a farm, have less risk for allergies, and asthma and a stronger immune system.
2. Friend magnets: Pets are natural conversation starters so your pet can help you meet people if you have social anxiety or chronic shyness.
3. Benefit the aged: For the elderly, caring for a pet can offer exercise and companionship. Studies have also shown that for Alzheimer’s patients, those who have a pet have fewer anxious outbursts.
4. Good for the mind and soul: Those who have pets are less likely to suffer from depression, are better equipped to handle stressful situations, and they also have lower blood pressure.
5. Good for your heart: Pet owners who suffer from a heart attack will live longer than those who are petless. Studies have also shown that men who own pets have lower cholesterol.

I now conclude that our pet cat is good for a depressed me, and for mom who has high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
