I just read an article in a magazine talking about how spending quality time with your four-legged friends can boost your immune system. Simply having a pet can make your immune system stronger according to a study at Warwick University in Coventry. They tested 138 children and the ones with pets had higher levels of the antibody immunoglobulin A, giving them a stronger immune system.

Having pet will expose you to more germs, but that could be a good thing by making your immune system stronger.

Also, 25 years worth of research shows that living with pets can give certain help benefits. Pets can help lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and can even help prevent depression.

I think this is great! I love that spending time with you pet can be good for you in many ways. I'm a big dog lover and this makes me love my dog even more! :)

I believe I've been in a better mood since I got my hamster.
Putting her in her ball and letting her chase my cat around while I clean her cage is great fun. :D
