Otis motivates me to get outdoors and go for walks. I feel sorry for him stuck inside all day, so I make it a point to get outdoors with him.
If I was by myself, there's no way I'd take little walks by myself with no destination in mind.
I'd also like to say that I smile a lot more because he's in my life. It's hard not to smile when you look at him.
There have been times I've been in serious heated discussions with my boyfriend (okay, an argument). We'll both look over at Otis, and he's got his whiskers all messed up with his tongue sticking out, and we'll just start laughing. What a tension breaker.
Yes, dogs are healthy for us! Long live our dogs. |
