Depression

Pets can really help take your mind off a lot. Constant stress = depression. I come home to this goof and I forget the stupid $hit that life constantly throws at me. P.S. chiropractor recommended this for his sore back.

Not a bad idea. There have been studies on this and it's been demonstrated that pets can help relieve stress and offset the symptoms of depression. (After they're housebroken of course!)

My dog is so rotten he won't do his business in the rain without a umbrella.
