Pet Keepsake Jewelry

George Elliot, one of the leading writers of the Victorian era, once said, "Animals are such agreeable friends. They ask no questions, they pass no criticisms." Any pet owner can certainly agree with this simple statement, as a pet can quickly, and seemingly effortlessly, become one the closest friends that we can ask for. The amazing creatures, regardless of species or breed, have a way of providing us with pure joy, love, and most noticeably, comfort. While we gain many emotional benefits from owning a pet, they can also affect our physical beings as well. It is very interesting to note that the American Heart Association has stated that they have linked the ownership of pets with a reduced risk of heart disease. This just goes to show how being emotionally healthy can directly lead to physical well-being, and owning a pet can certainly help ease loneliness, reduce stress, and even encourage empathy for others, especially children; all of which are necessary to help stay emotionally balanced.
