Today is Friday!, and in normal circumstances, many of you would go out to dance, have a drink with friends or to the movies; but since we are in quarantine it is time to be at home and be happy with popcorn, Netflix and your blanket.
Who have pets to accompany you?, I had 3 pets when I lived in Venezuela, a dog, a rabbit, and a kitten, and yes, they got along very well and loved each other and we were a happy family, although my house seemed like a contact zoo hahaha.
Here in Colombia unfortunately, I have not been able to have my furry companions since where I live are not allowed any pets and yet I was rebellious and I had a beautiful hamster called Arrow, I had it hidden from everyone and every day was adrenaline but it was beautiful while it lasted.
If those who read me are like me, a crazy animal lover, who wants to have a refuge for all those furry abandoned on the street and who loves to pet every animal I see on the street, you would like this post.
Today we will talk about the benefits of having a pet. Whether you want to adopt or buy an animal it will be a situation where we all win: the animal will have a home and will be able to enjoy its new family.
However, the decision to incorporate a new member must be agreed upon and considered by the whole family, since once taken, we will have a faithful companion to take care of and that will bring joy and countless good things to the home, but a lot of responsibility too.
#1 RELIEVE DEPRESSION
Depressed people do not feel the desire to relate. When a person has a bond with a pet, they have a reason to get out of bed. Often a depressed person will not let off steam with anyone, but perhaps they do feel able to speak to their pet.
#2 IMPROVE SOCIAL LIFE
Often, walking the pet is the excuse to meet people: in the parks, groups of dog owners are formed who coincide there, some people come to pet a puppy, and conversations arise about anecdotes or the care of their pets.
#3 STRENGTHEN SELF-ESTEEM
Pet owners are more likely to have higher self-esteem, scientists from the Universities of Miami and Saint Louis concluded. It has also been observed that boys and girls with some difficulty, in addition to seeing them as their playmates, practice in front of their pet and reinforce their security and self-confidence, since pets will not laugh at how they do it or if they are wrong.
#4 REDUCE STRESS
The team of the psychiatrist Sandra Baker of the Commonwealth University of Virginia (USA) measured the brain waves of different dog owners before and after spending time with them. These studies have revealed that having a pet and petting it frequently helps reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Very impressive, isn't it? having a pet is much more than just feeding it and taking it for a walk, they become your companions, your friends, a unique connection is formed that in fact does not break even with death, they are the most faithful beings that can exist on earth and They only want love and many caresses.
If you have not yet encouraged yourself to have your first pet, after this post you will surely do it, you will not regret having a furry with you.
XOXO, Li.
