It’s the end of the semester. My brain is fried. I’m stressed.
Instead of doing homework, I keep finding myself playing with my pets!
Sometimes I (try to) study on my bed and Lily, my sister’s cat, jumps up on the bed with me and wants attention. 
I just can’t ignore her!
I try to walk my dog every day. Even if I’m super busy or stressed. I know it’s good for her–physically and it’s good for me–mentally. Fresh air, even if it’s freezing, feels so good.
Funny story about this picture. I usually read on my phone while I walk Lola. I took this picture and started reading. The next time I looked at her, her vest was gone. Sad!
Sometimes I lay on/with Lola after I walk her. Who says pit bulls are vicious?! Lola isn’t!
I honestly think that pets are amazing at sensing when their owners are stressed/sad/mad/etc. and respond accordingly. I love it and it’s such a blessing!
Living My Full Life 
I wrote a paper once about how pets are one of the greatest stress relievers. Hopefully that is the case for you. 🙂
animals always put me in a good mood. good luck with the end of the semester.
Aww, Lily and Lola are super cute (I love their names too!) I agree, pets are great stress relievers. I can be having the worst day, but as soon as I come home to my dog and cats, my bad day doesn’t seem so bad anymore. How could a purring kitty or a playful pup NOT put you in a good mood? 🙂
Good luck with finals and finishing up the semester. It’s stressful, but I know you’ll do great!
Aw, your pets are so cute! Good luck with finals 🙂
Good luck with finals :). The pics of you and the pets are super cute!
Aw I love Lola’s little vest! You’re going to need to get her a new one for Christmas! I adore pitbulls, they got such a bad rap from people. They’re definitely like little furry balls of therapy 🙂
Good luck with finals!! So close to vacation!
Just a few more days and you can shop with me everyday (after I work, of course). Im so proud of how hard you work on all of your assignments! I wish I had half of your self-motivational skills… And I’m so thankful that you didn’t inherit my ADHD 😁love you baby
HAHA! I’m currently procrastinating studying too! I’m SO ready for break, talk about a burnout! 😛 Can I just say Lily is the most adorable kitty EVER?!?! AHHHH I would never be able to get anything done with her around 😀
Good luck with the rest of the semester! You’re almost there! You can do it!
Aww, great pictures of your pets! 🙂
Oh my goodness! Lily is getting so big!!!
All the pit bulls I’ve ever been around have been amazing and sweet. Love the picture of you with your buddy. My chihuahua is a great stress reliever but can also stress me from time to time…lol
Yes, my dogs manages to stress me out VERY often as well! 😉
So true! Doggies are healing!
Lola is so cute!!!!! I love all of these fun animal photos 😀
Hahah, I know what you mean about pets wanting attention!! 🙂 Goose is an attention whore sometimes! 😉
I think pets are such great stress-releasers. 🙂 I always feel so happy when I’m snuggling with my two kitties.
Aww, sounds like your fuzzy buddies ARE there, just when you need it! And I’m impressed that you can walk and read at the same time!
Congrats on (almost) making it through another semester! Good luck on finals!
I miss my pets so much!! I can’t wait to get a puppy of my own someday. Good luck with finals!!
