Pets

I would be curious to know how many people have pets and a family? How do you find keeping pets is it beneficial or do you struggle 

Parents
  • I've always had pets, all the way through growing and through adulthood.

    I think animals are good for children, they add anothe layer of love to the world, they're good teachers and protectors.

    I currently have 2 cats, a dog and 2 chickens. The cats are good for my mental health, they give me someone to cuddle, I find the sound of purring comforting, they're funny to watch and play with. My dog, Fearn, is what I often refer to as my physio, I have to get up and take her walks, sometimes when I really don't want too, this is good for my physical health, it gets my body moving and stops me from stiffening up, I get to walk in the fresh air. Dogs are social creatures and I often get talking to people through our dogs, nothing deep or anything, but about our dogs, its small talk with a focus. I have met some people who have become riends through walking with dogs.
