My dog, Elsa, has always been a great comfort, cuddle puppy. A few years ago when a hurricane was passing through FL, my friend realized how great Elsa was at helping to calm her nerves. The pic below I took right after I just got back from Siesta Key beach in March, a week later the beaches closed. Living 10 min from an awesome beach and not getting to go is torture!

My teen daughter begged me for another hamster, I said no to another one a couple years ago when I was having to clean the cage and feed it. But, I’m a push over and she did have to promise to get off her phone and move 20 min a day and give me a daily hug so it was worth it!
