Yesterday was officially national pet day, a day that reminds us to think actively about the loyal companions in our lives. Pets do so much for us, they bring joy and happiness, they show love and affection that is to be admired and they become an integral part of our family. They teach us what it means to be committed and dedicated and how to have fun even when it is going crazy all around us. We can not only benefit from what they do for us we can learn from the way that they live and love, simple and consistent without pretense. Way more than we ever thought we could get from a pet we are blessed with what they do for us and how they role model much of the way that we can and should live. All in all, a great reminder that while we celebrate national pet day only once a year – they are with us every day giving us joy and love.

Loving life when we can appreciate what pets do for us
