People Need Animals

 A Time For Friendship
My World Pictures

It is an awesome to have an animal in your life that cares about you. Animals are the most loyal creatures on earth.

Studies show that 62% of American households have pets. Studies have also shown that having pets can lower blood pressure, help heart problems, and lessen stress.

One of the first pets that I remember is a little dog that dad brought home to our family one day. He left him in the car so he could surprise all of us. My brother and I were playing outside when we heard a small whimper coming from the car. Dad came out of the house with a big grin on his face, as he opened the car door and lifted out a tiny, spotted puppy. We named him Bimbo, after a little song that we would hear on the radio. We argued so much over whose turn it was to hold him, that Mom had to set the alarm. Every five minutes he changed laps until we finally decided he needed down to play.

I know that people can become lonely and depressed during holiday seasons, or at stressful time in their lives. Just think what a pet could do to help with feelings of sadness and forlornness.

Roberta's horses in the top photo are both trying to get the sucker in her hand. Some of my most popular post are their animals. I took the shot of my sisters two little Yorkies years ago. They were so courious about me and my camera.

This picture of Dwayne and his horse is a real favorite. That horse has a real look of devotion on his face, as he looks in the window at his master.

I would love to see a picture of your animal friend and share it with my readers.
