National Pet Month is observed in May. National Pet Month is a celebration of the benefits that pets bring to people’s lives – and vice versa. It is celebrated here in the USA in May and in the UK in April.
This is what keeps me smiling daily
What are the benefits of having a pet, there are endless benefits but I think the most important ones are as follows:
- They keep us fit
- They make sure you’re never lonely, especially through hard times and what we have been through the past year
- They lower our stress levels – I try to stay as less stressed as possible, so Nili does not stress out
- They can help you make friends, so true as by walking your dog, going to dog parks you are meeting people
- They can improve your immune system – yes they do as keep us healthy in so many ways.
- They can stop your children from developing allergies, which is so important plus they teach children compassion and responsibility.
- They keep you safe
- They can provide companionship to children with learning difficulties
- Pets make us happier
- Pets help us cope with crisis
I have realized this so much from when I was in the Domestic Violence Relationship how much Baby helped me and I was blessed to have her.
Nili has done the same for me especially the past year – without her I am not sure where I would be. Seeing her waggy tail when I come home from an errands, her barking for attention or just being naughty makes me smile and keeps me going through the hard times.
As I am typing this I am realizing how blessed I am to have Nili in my life, her cuddles in the morning is something money cannot buy.
So our question is what does your pet do for you on a daily basis?
Happy National Pet Month Everyone,
With love from Me and Nili
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing Moms out there, Pet Moms and Kids Moms, you are the best.
Happy Mothers Day Everyone with love from Nili
Pets are the bestest family members ever sweet Nili! Happy Mother’s Day to your very special Mum. Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Terry I so agree with you and we are blessed to have them as our family. Thanks so much for your Blog Hop as I so love reading about your cats
Happy National Pet Month! It’s always a reminder of how much pets add to our lives, in ways we don’t even realise. I don’t have a dog at the moment and I miss having one so much. Unfortunately I’m not able to do anything about that at the moment, but I’m hoping that will change soon.
Hindy they so enrich our lives we are really blessed and I am praying you will adopt a new one soon as you are an amazing Dog Mom
May was when I found Henry, or he found me. It has a special spot in my heart. I didn’t realize until last week that it’s National Pet Month. I think that’s rather fitting. I’m sharing this with all my pet parents so that they can celebrate their fur kids a bit this month.
Henry says Nili needs a special cookie for May.
Terri that is so awesome that you found Henry in May and Nili woofs he deserves 3 cookies not one. Thank you for telling me this wonderful story
Thank you for always doing the calendars. They are so very useful. Happy National Pet Month! Although we all know every day is pet day,right? I loved just sitting with my FiveSibes sprawled across my lap and under my arms. The most peaceful, loving feeling…knowing they were all mine and happy, healthy, and safe. Pinned this to share!
Dorothy I love doing the calendars as it is reminders for me too and there are so many that speak to me especially National Pet Month. Like you I love the cuddle times as it is something money cannot buy and you were very blessed with your Sibes.
