Pets offer comfort, love and the support of another living thing within your life. Pets offer love without expectation. They don’t care about your job title, your to-do list, or your bad hair days. They love you, often unconditionally.
It does not matter if your pet is a dog, cat, ferret, pig, or any other animal. The consistent affection that each of you provides to the other helps to ensure emotional grounding. This is especially true during uncertain times.
Simple moments, like tail wags or soft purrs—create spontaneous joy. These stimuli help us focus on the now, not the “what ifs” that stress us out.
Pets often become emotional anchors. Our pets help us feel loved even when we’re struggling to love ourselves. Pets are the best companions many of us can have.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
