specifically dogs. i want my kids to have a dog with them when they grow up. moreso i want a dog for me ive always had a dog. currently i dont and i believe thats why i get stressed out so easy and dont sleep good, ive always had my dog greet me at the door and hed come set with me when i was upset and it would melt it away. i believe that kids should have the same relief. a dog is such a good way to help you relax, and i believe it would be good for the kids, as it was for me. cats just dont have the same healing effects. what do yall think?
