Beyond the blood pressure thing, it's proven dog owners live longer and recover faster. (Fluffiest life insurance ever... ❤️) And in the meantime, there's slobber and fun. I really adore having a dog in my life. I'm glad you both decided to welcome one back into yours.

I know that response exactly. When I'm having a really bad day, sometimes I take the garbage out just to have an excuse to leave and get welcomed back. All it takes is a minute or two of being gone, and you get this reception... It's like you're the best thing *ever*. Makes everything a little bit better. 😊
