What is good about having a pet?
In general pets are good teachers. They teach us about patience, responsibility, discipline, even love.
Pets have a way of providing comfort that a human can’t. When we don’t want the company of other humans pets are there for us. Non-judgmental, eager to be still with us.
We hold them in our hands, on our laps, they rest their head on ours, we rest our head on theirs and no language is spoken. But words do not need to be exchanged, we can feel that presence of companionship, love, healing…
They help us not to feel so lonely, they make us laugh when they do funny/cute things. They let you do silly things to them and they just go with it.
Pets are like angels. They give us much more than we can ever give them.
