Do you live alone and find that it’s very easy to get depressed? We weren’t meant to live alone, be alone all of the time, and not have some type of connection with something. When I started feeling depressed I realized it was because I was feeling lonely. I would go home after work to an empty house, cook dinner by myself, for myself only, and then flip on the tv. One day after work I stopped by the grocery store to pick up some food and there were some beautiful black Labrador puppies for sale. I thought to myself, oh, I can’t get a puppy, they’re too much work, too much responsibility.

They need to be walked, bathed, fed and cared for. I thought to myself,  it would be fun to have a pet, but  I just don’t think I have the energy. I went in the store, bought my groceries and on the way out, I stopped one last time to see the darling little babies. One of the little pups caught my eye, so I picked her up. That was all there was to it, I had to get her. I’ve had her a few weeks, and it has changed my life. I am so much happier and obviously less lonely.
