and a deadly trap. Is Bee on the trail of her brother’s murderer, or is she

Pet
and Mental Illness
If
you know me by now, you’ll know I suffer from a mental illness. And yes, I most
definitely write as a coping mechanism. But what also helps me tremendously are
my pets, both my dog and my cat.
There
are times when I’m completely down in the dumps, so much so, I can barely get
out of bed. But on these days, both my pets are very keen to it and are at my
side at all times. Both Bruce (my boxer/shepherd) and Stormy (my gray tabby)
show me much love and attention any great creature can give. Stormy helps me to
relax and be calm. Sometimes when I’m feeling frisky, we’ll play string. He’s
nine years young and shows it! And with Bruce, we sometimes go for peaceful
walks during the day. He helps me soak up the moment, helps me center myself
and realize I am here and in the living.
There
are countless things that both my pets help me with to live a healthier
lifestyle. Just knowing they are there for me, loving me unconditionally, I am
able to get out of bed and care for them.
My kids are older now and they aren’t around much, but with my pets, I
have two furry kids that need me too.
There
are so many wonderful animals out there just waiting to be loved and cared for.
It breaks my heart to see them suffering. All they want is one simple thing—a
friend. And if you can be a friend to them, I guarantee that you will be much
rewarded for it.
If
you can’t own a pet, I highly recommend sharing one of your family or friend’s
pets. Maybe be a dog walker, or work in a pet shop or volunteer at an Animal
Welfare Shelter. You may to find out that a furry friend is just the thing you
need.
