Sometimes when you are going through things, or maybe it’s just a rough day, in fact maybe you need to feel needed. When you have pets especially dogs; ( not too sure about cats), there is nothing better than their unconditional love. They are waiting every morning for me to get up so they can climb in my lap and let me know that they love me. I use to think it was just because they wanted to eat, but I found out that they just wanted to be near us and when we are away from them they miss us so much. And the best part is they love us equally. When it comes to them they do not favor me over my wife or vice versus. They always bring laugher and joy to this house. And especially when you have a person that is going through things emotionally and physically like with disabilities, they so so much love and compassion. With me working and my wire at home on disability, I know before we had them she had moments of depression but having them, has brought her so much joy and happiness.
