Hug your pet(s)!

I have been so busy lately with my work and taking care of my daughter. I just realized that I was not spending enough quality time with my dogs. Well, while I was working this evening (stressed out!) and when I looked over my shoulder, I saw my 6 year old lab(Mika) sleeping peacefully on my bed. When I looked at her, I immediately thought that I needed to take a break..... I got up from my computer desk and hugged her. It felt so good. I fell a sleep with her for about 30 minutes.....look at the picture that my hubby took. My husband thought that it was cute that I was taking a quick nap with Mika.

Oh, sometimes Mika turns into my therapist, too. Whenever I am feeling down, she is there to cheer me up. For the past 6 years, she has been always there for me and I appreciate her 100%. She is a great pet, a great friend and a great family member. I am sure that many of you own pet(s) and feel the same way I do. If you haven't hugged your pet today, please do so. They bring you a lot of love and joy everyday, so return that love and joy right back to them by hugging them :-)
