Pets

Since I was a child, I wanted to have a pet. But I never had one, until 6 years ago I decided to adopt my cat, Leo. And for me, it was one of the best decisions of my life. I love my cat, and it has completely changed my life for the better. Now I have 2 cats and a dog. They make my days a new adventure. I never get bored, and they have helped me to overcome many situations in my life without realized it. For example, when I feel sad or had a bad day, they are there for me. Maybe they may not understand why I feel sad or what is happening. But they give me their love and their company, and for me that is enough to feel better. So, in this blog entry I want to talk about the benefits of having a pet, then I will tell you about the importance to adopt; and lastly I will share with you the care you should give your pet.

Having a pet is one of the most exciting things we can experience. Because we have a new friend and a new member of the family. Since the first day, your pet will be there to bring happiness and peace to your life. Pets can help you to have good mental health, I can say that my pets have helped me in difficult situations in my life, or when I feel stressed for the university. They always distract my mind, make me think clearly and be in the present moment. Also, having a pet activate you, because they need to play, or go for a walk. So you will have to play with them, and automatically, your life starts to be more active, and you do more exercise. Just 15 minutes of play can help you and your pet have a healthier life and a better connection with each other.

Adopting a new pet is a great experience. Because you are giving an animal a second chance, to live a better life. We have to be aware that there are many animals on the street, who suffer from mistreatment, hunger and danger every day.They want to have a home where they can receive love. Adopting a pet is an incredible feeling, because you are helping a living being and it will bring joy to your home. It is also important to know that part of the abandonment of pets is that many people do not know that pets need care and attention. They are like any other living being. They need quality food, water and a place to live according to their size. Where they can live in peace and play freely. In my case, my house is quite spacious, and my pets have enough space to run and play with each other. I have a routine to feed them and clean their space. Hygiene is also very important; this way we will prevent them from catching any disease. And we have to remember to take them to the vet regularly, to check their health and vaccination control.

To summarize, pets are a great company for human beings. They improve our life, give us company that no one else can give us. They lift our spirits, and they are the best friends. However, they are a lifelong responsibility, which we have to take care of as part of our family. They are beings who feel and love just like any human being.
