Instant Attitude Adjustment--just add fur

[Dreamstalker]

A regular customer brought a one-month-old pit bull puppy into the store (didn't want to leave her in the car). Technically, non-service animals aren't even supposed to be on the property but manager P wrapped the fuzzy in her apron and kept her up at the front end (if you didn't know, it looked like she was just holding a baby for someone).

So. Freaking. CUTE.

[Merriweather]

Awww, all puppies are cute. I've read that petting a dog or cat can actually lower your blood pressure. I know mine keep me sane (or fairly close to it).

P even let me hold her (and the pup burrowed into me when I went to hand her back to the owner) for as long as I could get away with. I daresay it definitely put me in a better mood for the rest of the day.

(I miss having a kitty around--luckily I'm catsitting for a week next month)

My dog always makes me feel better after a rough day. Unless she's done something naughty.

They're easy to forgive though. If my cat might shit on the carpet, I'll be mad at him while I clean up, a few minutes later he'll come nuzzle me, and all is forgiven.

When my fiancé annoys me I can be angry for hours.

Yeah, but your fiancé is supposed to be housetrained.

Yes, actually, petting a cat gently will reduce blood pressure and produce a calming feeling.

Having my cat nearby is VERY good for my soul. I smile the moment I see her, and petting her is divine.

But does anyone think of the cat and how they feel? Henri's Ennui

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Yeah...they have it rough, all right. (Thanks for sharing, that's some good stuff!)

this. i left work last week feeling like shit with a writeup. i felt better after i got out and went to the park with my bf and the dog. dog doesn't care what i did at work - all she cares about is licking us to death and loving us.

I am blessed with a cat mellow enough to tolerate my bad-day-at-work hugs.

I have only had one standoffish cat, he was an alley cat rescue and nervous around people.

Jezabel likes being used to snuggle around as a purring hot water bottle.

If McGriff could sense you had a bad day he'd insist on getting in your face and I swear he'd make you feel like the world's biggest jerk for even trying to push him away.

I had mentioned to one of my clients yesterday how I had a kinda-crappy day at work on Monday, so she readjusted what we had to do so I could take her pup out for a second walk.

I get home, get barked at when I try to open the door (yes they are so vicious), get pissed (Karuso doesn't have control over his bladder yet) on and get tongued (puppy kisses for like 2 hrs). And yet, its the happiest moment in my day seeing my puppies.
