Everyone has been there: Youve had a long, hard, stressful day at work. All you want to do is get home to wash away the days woes and cuddle with your four-legged friend.
As the garage door lifts, you hear the rustling inside the house. Instantly your mood begins to brighten. First step in the door, youre bombarded with high-pitched yips, wet kisses and little paws dancing across your feet.
Not far behind, the cat enters with loud meows, leg rubs and pleas to be petted. In this moment we realize exactly why we let these little critters become such an important part of our lives.
Pets dont judge us, give us unwanted advice or criticize; all they do is love us.
