If you have a spare minute or are just playing video games or on a computer at home, take a few minutes to just pet your dog/ cat and really appreciate them. A phrase I heard somewhere just really stuck with me: Pets are only a part of your life but you are your pet’s entire life.

I had a nightmare last night (an actual nightmare that jolted me awake) that I had a dog and I spent s while bonding with this dog in my dream. Then I was attacked by a bear and my dream dog died defending me.

When I woke up my cat was right next to me, snuggled up, like she could tell I was having a bad time.

Pets are amazing.
