"After my husband died I bought a morkie his name is Oatmeal. He has been my little buddy. When my kids are all sleeping he stays up with me. I do think pets helps, Oatmeal does for me . There is no shame in having a pet to help comfort you.."

Suz said… I have two little white fuzzy dogs, one a Maltese and the other a rescue (guess is Bischon/Poodle). They are "my kids" (I am kind of embarrassed to say that!) They have always slept in our (large) bed but now they can't get close enough to me. The only problem I have had is that they have gotten very protective of me and when new people come in, the little one nips at their ankles. Now the rescue dog is copying him. I think I am going to get soft muzzles for them both. They also are barking a lot.
