With the passing of one of our beloved cats today, Jazz, it brings to mind the question, is it worth the pain of losing one to become so attached to pets? The bereavement a pet owner goes through with the loss of a pet may seem silly to none pet owners. But just as the loss of a family member is hard on any person, so it is with the loss of a pet for those of us for whom they are family members. The loss is the same; it leaves a void that can not be explained easily to those who have not been through it. Just as with the loss of any family member or close friend; the void may be filled somewhat by the memories of the good times shared with person or pet.  And that is what gets us through times like these.
Rest in peace. Jazz, we love you. |

Cocker Spaniels  Cocker Spaniels are member of the sporting group of dogs. They were originally bred to hunt in the English countryside. The American Cocker Spaniel is considered a separate breed from the larger English variety.
Weighing in at only 20 to 35 pounds and at height of approximately 12 to 16 inches this is a good dog for a household pet. Cocker Spaniels are very adaptable and will be equally happy jogging beside you or lounging at home. They are normally good with strangers and quick to learn. |

It has been seen time and again that pets can have an effect on the health of their owners. Pets give their owners unconditional love this can improve a person’s mood and help to keep depression at bay. It is hard to be depressed with a dog or cat giving you its love and attention. A pet can have a soothing effect on their owners, reducing the owners stress. Many times this has the effect of lowering blood pressure and heart rate. People in high stress jobs may benefit from having a pet to help take away some of the stress. People who have pets can deal with the loss of a loved one better than people who have no pets. Pets help to stave off the loneliness after such a loss, by giving the person something to care for. This helps to keep the person from dwelling on the loss. Many pet owners get exercise by getting out with their pets, which may not have happened otherwise. This exercise helps them to maintain better health. Even the medical community is now realizing the benefits of pet therapy. Pet therapy is now allowed in some hospitals and nursing homes. Having a pet is not for everyone because they do require care and there are costs involved, but if one is able it can have a health benefit. So if you know of someone who can’t have a pet but you think would benefit from contact with one ask if it would be all right for your pet and you to visit. You might be surprised how much this may benefit everyone involved. |
