animals as therapy

[tattybear]

I grew up in a house with cats/dogs etc, but when I moved in with my fiance 3 years ago, as we were in rented, it was somthing we culdnt realy have, but ive missed having pets like you wouldnt belive.

For valentines, my finace really surprised me! he gave me a val's card, and inside was a gift voucher (he designed!) for a dwarf rabbit!! He then produced a box with a feeding bowl & water bottle, then took me to the care where he produced (not litterally! lol) a 4ft hutch and rabbit starter pack [Wow!][Wow!][:P][:P]
I nearly cried when i opened the card and saw the voucher!

He'd put so much thought into it all and what it would mean to me.

We're all sorted hutch wise etc etc, and are now looking for a pair on netherland dwarfs

I am an animal lover and i can't wait to get my own pets again. I used to have a dog (Lab), but it remained with my ex wife.. i miss him.. i live on my own, so i don't think i can have a dog just yet, especially as i work 12 hour shifts and do nights too... so looks like it's going to have to be either a lil kitty or a lil bunny..! aww, just thinking about a baby lil chocolate coloured bunny with the floppiest ears!! me wants one now! lol

that is so true of animals, especially dogs! They must have a sixth sense. I used to have a dog, she did the same thing whenever i was upset. She was a big dog (well, just fat really! ) but didnt realise that and always wanted to sit right on me!! I think the fact that I couldnt move when she jumped on me made me stop and calm down!!!

Our dog seems to know when either of us our feeling abit low & jumps up & puts his head on our laps. He is such a sweetheart & Chris & i would not be without him.
