I often think how much joy and happiness animals can bring us.

We can be having a really bad day, and we come home, and our animals love on us. I know that’s how I feel about my cat Mia. She makes me smile all day long!

They can instantly change our mood, and they are such an important part of our lives.

I know there are dogs now that are helping military vets and patients in hospitals.

Last year during our Gratitude Adventure, we spent a day at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah, and believe me, it was a treat to love on the animals over there.

Do you have any pets?

I'd love to see a picture if you do! Shoot me an email at [email protected]
