The Health Benefits of Pets in our Lives
Many of the benefits of pets — companionship, affection and so on — have been well known for centuries — even numerous ancient Egyptians cherished their companion animals. However, data gathered during only the last few years have shown just how significantly our health is improved if we share our lives with animals.

Milou, marnell's one year-old Coton De Tulear, is one smart cookie. See how he's taken over the couch while he naps in the sun? He's got a pretty nice setup there, and just looking at him makes me want to curl up for a little nap myself!
