This is our 4 year old Golden Retriever 'Jersey' and we also have two cats 'Pippen' and 'Salem'. Our house can certainly feel like a wild animal kindom at times with Jers chasing one cat under our feet while the other cat is pawing at our legs for treats but I wouldn't trade it for anything. We are pet people and I'm sure we'd have more if we had a bigger house. I recently read an article about the benefits that pets have in your life - they make you more active, lower blood preassure, fight lonliness & depression, provide a sense of security, etc... How wonderful and very true is that?! On a bad day I can't help but feel lighter when Salem hops into my lap to snuggle or when Jersey brings me an old battered chew toy with a look of goofy excitment on her face. I never feel nervous at home alone at night with Jersey in the house like I used to. I get up and go even when I'm tired because I know Jersey needs some fresh air and exercise. All our pets are a constant source of entertainment as well and we often find ourselves watching them instead of tv in the evenings - watching our big dog get chased and bullied by our little cat never gets old somehow LOLSo I love these guys as crazy as they may be and they help make our house a home. Super thankful for pets!

I love this pic. I love the greyish tone and it doesn't hurt that Jersey is so freakin' cute.
