As you may have noticed, we are here to bring to light any and all opportunities to find joy and celebrate! Today marks National Pat Day, and for those of you who have the pleasure of owning a pet, be it one, multiple, furry, or scaley, we want to share in your joy. We have observed the immense joy that a pet can bring to the lives of people and so here are some reasons why this day is significant enough to be noted:
- People with pets are in better shape! Congratulations to all of you who are up at the crack of dawn, running alongside your furry loves who need to stretch their legs at 5:00am
- When you’re allowed to bring them, your pet will reduce stress in the workplace. A study took place and it was found that employees who were allowed to bring their dogs to work exhibited reduced stress levels and increased job satisfaction. Something to think about!
- If you have children, your pet will impact their development, in a good way. Children who have pets may seem a wee bit more responsible and confident in their social skills. There are other factors at play, of course, but again, a worthwhile nugget to ponder 😉
- Petting a furry animal actually releases love hormones. Playing with your pet will also increase both your dopamine and serotonin levels. All this to say, having a pet is a great way to reduce your overall stress levels.
You may not have a pet, but we would suggest that they are a worthwhile consideration. How could you possibly resist those cute faces and fluffy cuddles? We at TGD love pets and even have some amazing gifts for you to share with the people in your life that love them!
