There are a few fun threads around the forums around this topic ( EVERYTHING DOGS EVERYTHING CATS!! ) and either myself or one of the community guides will tag you all into a new thread tomorrow that continues on this specific theme for those that want to keep sharing and discussing!

Thank you @Lauz  and everyone here tonight who made it the success todays Topic Tuesday has been.

Also here is another thread about the benefits of having pets .. one I opened a few years ago, and well worth resurrecting and dusting off.  I hope I have the link correct. Its all about what we covered tonight, and more.

Walking the dog has been a postive thing for me & Mr Darcy who has BPii. 

Our dogs have been so very important in his recovery.

If you are not able to have a dog but want K9 company, you can volunteer as a dog walker to help those who are unable to walk their own dogs.
