Sorry if this question already been asked, but i noticed if i have my dog i dont get as much of a rage and if someone upsets me,I will just start petting the dog and walk away from the person. Those are the only two things i can think of doing so i don't get out of control again.

My dogs are helpful unless I'm way out there and then nothing is. I'm glad you have your dog to help. Everyone should be allowed to have a pet.

I love my dog for this. He knows when something isn't right with me and is always there by my side.

I cuddle with my dog on the bad days. It's really comforting. My cat senses when I'm upset and sleeps on my chest.

I love my pets but if im mixed or agitated then they can piss me off more. I have a cockatoo that talks and she screams. Literally screams bloody murder when she doesn't get her way. That makes me worse but she's not always like that.

My cat does, for me. She is still skittish around my husband, though, so it's kind of give and take.

I find well-behaved animals "calming," as my whole system "shifts" as it moves into a state of delight.

I am glad your dog helps you.

My cats usually make me feel better and more zen.
It depends on whether or not my kitten is in a lap cat mood or a crazy mood.

At one point I was very focused on my pets. I guess they helped some, but over time I have distanced myself from them. I feel agitated when they constantly want up in my lap. I used to hold my reptiles a LOT more and I found pleasure it. I just can't seem to find pleasure in anything. I just do what I have to do.

Yes. Our cats make me feel better, especially our male cat.

I have two dogs one is wonderful. The other one frustrates me she literally goes out side and stares at the sun. I have seen her walk into all kinds of stuff staring at the sun. She is the dumbest dog in captivity but I still love her. No she is not blind either.

Haha yep that's her alright! When we leave the house and lock up the door we can hear her screaming from the sidewalk! My neighbors probably hate us.
Thanks for this!

MY Dog always finds a way to help me chill the hell out, If I am getting all worked up he sits next to me and just leans on me until I notice then I can think " what the hell has me in a knot"

I dont know what I would do without him.
