Pets Smile Plus

Scott had to turn his head away while the needle penetrated; with a sobering voice, he kept saying, ?I am sorry; I am so sorry.? As soon as he returned home from the vet, this six-foot-two-tall man collapsed into tears after putting Jackie, his kitty cat to sleep.

Jackie had not cleaned himself or eaten for two days. Scott noticed that he had a hair ball in his mouth, as he looked closer, he found out it was blood. After that he rushed Jackie to the vet and discovered Jackie had cancer under his tongue. There was not much Scott could do except put him to sleep.

Linda just got back home, after saying a quick hi to Scott, she started to look for Jackie, ?Come on baby, Mommy is home, where are you Jackie?? Well?she cried four days after she was told that Jackie was put to sleep.

It was a true story; the reason I brought this up is because often times, we take relationships for granted and fail to cherish what we have until it is too late.

Love and figures
Love is a universal language. It is perhaps one of the most popular words we use on a daily basis, each day there are over 20,000[1 people searching for love.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, if you are in your 20?s and you are single male, then you are more likely to look for love.

While more and more people say I do at a later age[2, pet ownership is increasing. A recent survey conducted by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA), in 1988, the first year survey was conducted, 56% of U.S. households own a pet compared to the 63% present day.?

Lasting Bonds
The simple truth is that Americans live far more than subsistent; we often lost the touch of our inner self. In this nothing is built to last era, the human-pet bond relationship becomes stronger in Americans’ lives than many realize. More empty nesters, young couples or single professionals are substituting children with a pet.

A recent survey conducted by the American Veterinary Medical Association, ?The strong growth in the industry demonstrates what an important role pets are playing in the lives of Americans?they have become a part of the family.?

Another survey conducted by the APPMA, revealed 57% would prefer their pet as their only companion if they were stranded on a desert island. It is not uncommon for a pet owner to call back home and leave messages on the answering machine while they are away, or saying ?I love you? to their pets several times a day.

Some pet owners are willing to reach deep down into their pocket to have a birthday party for their pets; others will send their pet for a massage session. To some, these behaviors may seem ?queer? and some even wonder why people would do so much for their pets.

The reality
Pets offer far more than return, they greet us at our ups and downs, waiting faithfully behind that closed door day in and day out. Unfortunately, their love for us can?t even earn them a permanent space in our hearts.

According to The Human Society of the United States (HSUS), 6-8 million of our furry friends end up in shelters, and about 50% of them are euthanized. As one of the richest and so-called-animal loving nation, we really need to look at statistics seriously.

Learn to love
Each day some are loosing their loves, while many are looking for new love all in the wrong places. Single ads are flowing just about everywhere and anywhere, how many of us have realized and cherish our best friend(s) ? the inspiring, fascinating, and more importantly, adorable friend who providing nothing but unconditional love.

Love is a lesson and a long time commitment. Learn to love your best friend(s) with all your heart and with devotion because to them, the bond between you and him/her can be best describes as ?for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health, to love and until death do us apart.?

Changes were also dramatic for men ? the corresponding rate for men in this age group increased from 55 percent to 86 percent.?

You may have heard that pets have been scientifically proven to increase your chances of living to a ripe old age. Well the rumour is true, but how exactly is it possible you may be wondering.

Well, it is said that pets are able to penetrate our outer exterior and really connect with us on a deep level where humans are unable. When you look at the facts closely it is hard to argue with.

The first reason why owning a pet could make you live longer, is that they offer you unconditional love without you ever having to ask for it. In fact, this unconditional love is available to you at any given moment, twenty-four hours a day. Next time you are with your pet, take notice of its expressions and you will see that it is full of nothing but love for you.

The second reason is that you can be yourself around your pets. You do not need to put up facades or pretend to be someone that you are not. No matter what you do, you will always have the approval of your pets. Having the freedom to be yourself eliminates the stress that you may be subjecting yourself on a daily basis while out in the real world.

The third reason is that pets offer companionship. You can come home from work to an empty house and that is exactly how it will feel ? empty. But with a pet there to greet you, you have a friend by your side as you kick off your shoes and settle in for a quiet night together.

The fourth reason is that they stimulate you physically, especially dogs. You know that if you don?t take them for a walk, then chances are they go without. So you get out in the fresh air, breath deeply and move those joints and muscles as you enjoy the scenery together. There is nothing like a brisk thirty minute walk to wake up your body.

And lastly they also give you the opportunity to share your love and affection. A pet demands this kind of attention and this helps you to connect with your own emotions on many levels. Doesn?t it just feel wonderful to show a pet how much you love them, and see the heartfelt appreciation in their eyes?

Yes, pets are wonderful for you on a mental, physical and emotional level. Taking this into consideration, if you don?t own a pet yet and you are keen to live as long as you can, you might want consider getting one real soon.

You were there when no one else was, when the world hated me and did everything it could to break me down. You were there to show me that I mattered and that I did belong regardless of what mistakes I had made in the past. You never judged me for leaving you when you really needed me. You never held a grudge for more than a couple of minutes. You taught me how to be patient when I wanted you to rush from place to place. You always knew how to ease my pain and calm me down during some of the hardest moments of my teenage years. You showed me that life was too short to be mad at all the time. Life has never been the same since you left.

I think about you all the time. I wish you were here to calm me down. You always understood me when no one else did and you never left my side. I wonder what it would be like if you were still here? But I know you?re in a better place where everyone is happy and doesn?t have to deal with fixing the problems of the ones they love. I miss you more than any word can describe. I could use some of your life lessons right about now. Life is not the same without you.

You will always be with me wherever I go. I will never forget all the great moments we shared together including the time you needed to kick my butt to get me back on track. For those moments, I am truly grateful and will always cherish. Thanks for everything. I have grown so much from being with you and you will always hold a special place in my heart. From all the bites and scratches, to the jumps and hugs, I will never forget who you were and how unconditional you were with life and those you loved. Life will never be the same without you.

*This is dedicated to my pet rabbit, Wilbur, who I spent eleven wonderful years with. My dad and I adopted him from a private owner in Berkeley, California, when he was three months old. Out of all of his brothers and sisters, Wilbur was the one I disliked the most since he had a lively attitude. I wanted his brother who just lay in my hands and didn?t move. My dad ultimately chose Wilbur because, ?He is active and has personality.? We took him home later on that day where my brother named him. I spent the next couple of nights sleeping next to his cage since he would not drink water or eat food. Ever since that day, I have never looked back and cherished all the wonderful memories we shared together.
