Is it Possible to be Happy?

by Alice Villalobos, D.V.M.

"Without my animals, I would not walk 2 miles a day. I would not have the property we live on and I would not feel as young as I do. They are my friends. They get me up early in the morning with a cheerful greeting that gets the day started." says Pat Coster, a senior citizen who is a friend of mine. "Animals make a house a home" and "Happiness is a health pet" were the thoughts celebrated during National Pet Week. Yes indeed, to hear a singing bird, to see the swimming fish, to feel a purring cat on your lap is a pleasure. And to experience the special circling welcome dance of a dog is a treasure!

Madam Astor who at 91 gave away millions of dollars said,
"With my books, gardens and dogs, I am happy."
