I was just laying here in bed and my cat (who is the only one who seems to enjoy me being bed ridden) just jumped up here with me and snuggled down. She is an angel in disguise. Anyone else feel this way about our pets? They don't question, they don't judge, they just want to be with us. Why can't people be more like that?

My two cats and my dog are my best therapy. My dog expects to get a walk everyday. Somedays she doesn't get that, coz I can't even make it around the block. But she resigns herself to no walk with a big sigh and then she snuggles up next to me on the bed.

I'm with you jacksmom - they don't judge, they just love unconditionally...

Ooooooo, love my dog (Olive) and cat (Larry.) Today when I hugged Olive she had that warm toasty dog smell. Musty, but not old or stale. Just warm and cozy. Almost like a newborn baby. I just inhaled her. Literally.

Seriously, my pets are my joy, my laughter, my love and my peace (except when they are barking lol). I honestly think that snuggling with my dogs could actually be a cure, if there ever was one (it feels so powerful). In the meantime, keep loving those puppies and kittys!!

I love my 2 cats, Lizzy and Titch. Tich sits by my feet whilst I am at the pc. and Lizzy curls up with me when I am in pain, she always knows when I don't feel well.

I love my two kitties so much. They are my babies. They are perfectly happy to lie in bed with me all day and purr. Yes, they are my angels.

Amen to that! I love my "babies" ... they're the first thing I seek out when I walk through the door, and they seek me out when we're at home by ourselves. They follow me from room to room and snuggle with me at nap time. I tell them how handsome they are, what fearless fighters (I get an occasional gift 'mouse' or 'robin' at the back door) and what pure joy they bring to me. Don't you think that's why God really created these wonderful creatures ... to bring us joy? I do.

I love my cat Monty. He used to spend most of his time with my husband, but since I've become ill, he stays more with me. I think they know. I think they can sense, that we aren't well. Our pets are a wonderful comfort.
Also, when you look at anyone's profile pics. there will be nice comments about the hubby/wife/kids, but MOST of the comments are about the pets. Ever notice that? Take a gander. And some people post only their pets, not their kids, or any family member.
Yep, we are surely connected to those fuzzy little creatures God made.
So thankfull for them.
