Does having a pet make you feel good?!

Does having a pet make you feel good?

i find pets can soothe and heal a person's feeling of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and even anger. pets like cats, dogs, rabbits and others.

what about you?

I live for my pets, 1 cat, 6 dogs, 6 horses, 1 cow, 1 rooster, and 2 geese. And don't tell me I have too many. They all get lots of love and attention, lots of exercise, food, and a little discipline if needed. They travel with me and enjoy their leisure too. I've not hired a psychologist because my animals keep me sane. They love me unconditionally and I love them the same way back.
My last boyfriend wanted me to get rid of some of them, so I got rid of him. I don't think anyone could put up with me now, because I sleep with 4 dogs and a cat on my bed. But, then I don't have to put up with a man!!!! I take a couple of my smaller dogs to a retirement home every month to visit the old folks, and they really put smiles on their faces. My grand nieces and nephews play with them and learn how to feed and take care of them, and so learn some responsibility. One of my disabled students rides my oldest horse and it is helping her to get feeling in her legs.
When I get sad they snuggle with me and when I am excited they bark, quack, and jump around. They are very sensitive and have emotions too. I would never break up with my pet, and I'd much rather get dumped by a man than my pet anytime. Enjoy!
