My dog Kasper

Anyone that knows me knows that my dog Kasper is my best friend.   Not only does he give me unconditional love and companionship, but he is a great exercise companion.  It is amazing to me that he can walk for an hour and a half without getting the least bit tired.  🙂 

According to the CDC, pets can offer the following benefits:

• Decrease blood pressure
• Decrease cholesterol levels
• Decrease triglyceride levels
• Decrease feelings of loneliness
• Increase opportunities for exercise and outdoor activities
• Increase opportunities for socialization

It saddens me to think about all of the pets that are put down due to overcrowding of shelters.  So, consider adopting a pet.  Pets have the potential for giving back to you more than you could ever expect or imagine!
