How can ya NOT love critters?
The impact of animals-especially domesticated pets—is a dimension of our existence that merits more attention and appreciation.
The extravagances that some people lavish on their pets still makes me ill-mostly because animals don’t want or need the luxury items that we bestow on them—and it’s true that most American pets eat better than many people around the world. That is a sad statement regarding our priorities. The “Fancy Feast” cat food ad where the pampered feline is “dining” out of a crystal dish makes me want to hurl!
That said, it is true that millions of pets-dogs, cats, hamsters, parakeets and rabbits are responsible for enhancing our lives, particularly the elderly and others who are alone in the world. One cannot discount the companionship they provide. When I visit my elderly mother in the nursing home, I try to bring my sister’s dog—as ALL of the residents light up at the sight of a cute little dog. In fact, the most popular “resident” of the community is a rabbit who provides hours of enjoyment for the old folks.

We cannot underestimate the value of pets in reducing loneliness, in providing unconditional love and generally behaving the way more people should!
Viva la critters!!
