Hello All!

I read somewhere that pets are calming and relaxing and can bring peace to an otherwise uncivilized world. I just want to say that I completely agree! My 9 year old golden retriever is my happy place. She calms me when things get too much to handle and she sits beside me and waits for the moment to pass. I hope that your pet brings you that special unconditional love and peace today and always!

Purple
Thanks for this!

Hi Purplekat, and welcome to psych central. Animals definitely help relieve stress. I love my dogs very much, and would do just about anything for them. You can check out my profile for some pics of my dogs.

Another pet lover here, I have two dogs, who provide me with comfort and companionship all the time. I don't know what I would do without them.

I'm an animal lover, especially of dogs, although I don't have any dogs at the moment. We (my boyfriend and I) have a bird, and I've been feeding the neighborhood cats, of which there's around 15 of them!!! They all make me happy.
