As per title of this post ,we crazies bring another




a promise of loads of warmth,a cozy snuggle..






to the world of love ....more love and just love.....
so here we are ...
we crazies decided to give the task for this post to our super kitty...named



here she is typing away at speed of light ....
here are some interesting facts collected by her......
You cannot be angry with your cute dogie or kittie despite seeing Your new sofa like this...😃
You may be looking like this after seeing the sofa



but few.....
and

For those who love animals, it's virtually impossible to stay in a bad mood when a pair of loving puppy eyes meets yours, or when a super-soft cat rubs up against your hand.



Dogs keep us healthy....
Whether we walk our dogs because they need it, or are more likely to enjoy a walk when we have companionship, dog owners do spend more time walking than non-pet owners.





A boy meets girl due to furry pooch is a perfect film cliche'

Number of films are based on this one perfect example is Turner and Hooch..😃

Here is a small scene from classic Walt Disney film







Oh my what is wrong with my sweet typing runner....



she came across thisšŸ˜•
Until the 19th century the British had a totally utilitarian attitude towards dogs. Their purpose was for hunting and guarding alone and any concept of keeping them as pets was frowned upon.


During the Middle Ages people found keeping pets were accused of witchcraft. These so called 'witches' were often single women who were social outcasts and dogs and cats were their sole companions.


Before our Runner decides to...


We found something else .....here runner read this....
Victorians made Dogs popular and acceptable as companions, Despite their inbreeding practices if they were not around we might not have recognized their other enduring qualities and, specifically, their ability to enhance human health.



It was Florence Nightingale in 1856 that noted a small pet animal is often an excellent companion for the sick.But it was not until recent decades that scientists actually proved their therapeutic worth. Just by looking at a cute friendly do can decrease Blood Pressure by 10 points...isn't it amazing what these bezubaans can achieve.



Also pets are used in Therapy for mental illnesses.Besides unconditional love, a pet relieves loneliness.They make you feel important, like you matter.

Having a pet takes the focus off the owner's problems, since having a pet is a commitment--you need to feed and care for the pet.When people have a pet in the house, it forces them to take care of another life, With the focus outward, the pet owner may not dwell on their depressed mood as much
.


Even having birds can help.The pet doesn't have to be a dog or a cat. In fact pet parrots are recommended as ideal pets for some patients with symptoms of depression. They are recommend for the house bound, the lonely and patients with depression, especially middle-aged women suffering from the 'empty nest syndrome.The birds can be loyal, loving, and provide good companionship. They even cuddle with you...





Today I would like to add some serious stuff here as well

Every year thousands of pets are abandoned by their owners due to lack of understanding .
To have a pet is huge responsibility;it is like having a child...
Pets cant talk,they suffer in silence
they contribute so much in our lives.




Help them,cherish them.protect them
Love them....

I would like to share a story with you about a special dog softhearted but huge dogie
who had heart as big as his size..

A story from workplace...a touching story
He
was 100 pounds huge dog ;gentle who wont even hurt a fly...😳 we did routine tests found some odd cells;did ultrasound,found he had lymphoma(type of blood cancer) owner was getting married in 8 months..she said if it was humanely possible. She wanted to keep him alive till then.Can you? she asked 😭 she was informed that we will try ,We did chemotherapy ,he would give me his leg to place iv catheter and would sit through painful chemo for hour without any trouble...only he would want his favorite cookies...,he got through first round of chemo with flying colors. Both his parents who were to get married were very happy..we thought he will live another 2 years..😳 His owners got married ,went to honeymoon came back ...3 days later got call from her, couldn't sleep and breath.properly..brought him back ultrasound showed lymphoma was back,called oncologist 😭 he said no hopes...Ben went downhill so fast ...when she brought him to be put to sleep I still remember the look he gave to all of us around him;he was looking at me, had given me his paw smilingly trustingly though he couldn't stand or even sit...he wanted us to do it ,to put him out of his misery; he had fulfilled his promise he was there for their wedding ;so he could be in that album proud and in memories....Buddy where are You? I am sure You are smiling; you are still my favorite...I still remember his owner was comforting all the staff in end.. hugging us while we cried ; he was miracle dog he was there for her for a reason so she could be happy for her wedding......

@sami..you always amazed me by your creation..šŸ‘šŸ¼
this one made me smile and cry too..😊😭
a top-notch job well presented about the importance of a pet in our life..šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘
"An animal 's eyes have the power to speak a great language"..
so true they cant talk but their eyes express so much..
i'm a pet lover too..i have 3 dogs..they say.."dogs are not our whole life, but they make our life whole"
yes without them my life is incomplete..they always bring a smile on my face ..naughty/cute/caring..they are my favourites..😊
one is my german shepherd...the first time i saw him he was so cute alone away from the others.i just fell for him..he is 8 yrs now... first thing morning must get a hug from him..😊
the other two were abondonned by heartless people..could not bear watching them in rain..brought them home and today i'm so happy to have them as my buddies..they return the love as much as i love them..
i will end up with this quote.."i believe in animals rights,and high among them is the right to the gentle stroke of a human hand"..
all i will say love your pets and do hug them as they definitely bring happiness in our lives..
thanks loads sami for such awesome post..i can feel your sorrow about losing a buddy though you did your best to save him..you always cherish his memories its just wonderful so thanks once more for sharing this bad experience with us about the miracle dog..
