Post Your Pets

Pets are wonderful! I have a beautiful little cat I rescued a few years ago and she is the best. Animals have such a beautiful ability to take our pain and transform it for us. Cats and dogs especially will pick up on illness and come over to sit with you - sometimes that is all you need. They have no judgement like some humans, no agendas, no demands (unless we are talking food, then its all in!). If you are lucky enough to have a pet in your life, be grateful. As someone who used to talk to people all day long working for an animal charity, I can tell you first hand, what a positive difference people's pets make to them. They bring out the humanity in us, remind us that kindness and looking after someone or something else makes us stronger in ourselves. If you don't have a pet, just get around animals where you can - even the connection will make you feel better inside. Not far from me is a free council park with native Aussie wildlife - everything from possums to wallabies. Its a beautiful spot for anyone. So if you are feeling down and want to feel better, try the simple act of visiting a place where animals are and you will find it boosts your spirits.
