Pets can make an enormous difference.

We lost our last dog over a year ago, and I am DESPERATE for another one. With me disabled, my husband doesn't want to get stuck with walking it, etc...

I can't make him understand how much I NEED a dog. I know my mood would be so much better if we had a new pooch. My departed fur friends played a crucial role in getting me through those first, awful years after my TBI. Unlike humans, they were draw to my sadness, not repelled by it, and didn't mind that I talked oddly and had trouble moving. Aside from nursing a baby, I know nothing more soothing and peaceful than stroking a pet.
