NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL PET AWARENESS MONTH ~ The unconditional love and devotion pets show their owners is undeniable. Pet owners know how much their furry friend improves their quality of life. We include them in our family portraits, make room for them on our beds, tell them our deepest secrets and miss work when they’re sick. And whether they paw, fly or swim their way into our hearts, pets are an important part of our lives. But it’s not all about unconditional love—although that actually provides a wellness boost, too. On an emotional level, owning a pet can decrease depression, stress and anxiety; health-wise, it can lower your blood pressure, improve your immunity and even decrease your risk of heart attack and stroke. But the positives don’t stop there. Even if you can’t adopt a pet just now, you can help make life better for homeless animals and yourself by volunteering with your local shelter or rescue organization. There are many animals that can still benefit from your love, and you will feel the benefits, too. Our focus this month is how pets improve your life. Our November focus group is Clermont Pets Alive clermontpetsalive.org/ BROUGHT TO YOU BY ADVOCACY & EDUCATION ~ SK Animals Show Love They love you unconditionally: Seeing her enthusiasm when you walk in the door can be an instant mood-lifting boost. Her tail wagging, tongue hanging out her mouth making it look like she is smiling, the way her ears perk up. Her grunts or purrs. She doesnt care if you just screwed up a deal at work, or bombed a test, she loves you for being you, whatever that means on any given day. Shes just happy to see you. She wants to be around you, to love you, and be loved by you. One of our favorite parts of being a pet owner is showing our pets how much we love them and receiving genuine love from them in return. https://petcentric/10-24-2013/national-pet-awareness-month-10-reasons-to-celebrate How does your pet show you love?
