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
