Dog Owners are more healthy – Scientific Fact !
Research has shown that:
Dog owners make fewer visits to their Doctor -
(Maybe that is due to them not being able to afford it after shelling out all their cash on Vet visits !!!!)
Owning a dog can help reduce stress, anxiety and help reduce blood pressure
(Except for the times when you come home from leaving them for just a tad longer than they have become accustomed to, to find your sofa in shreds, curtains torn down, and a pool the size of lake Geneva on your hardwood floor)
Owners who walk their dogs are healthier than non dog owners, and owning a dog can boost your immune system
(Whoever wrote this mustn’t live in Ireland or the UK, as I’m not sure about you, but the final walk before bedtime in the middle of November *, when the rain is coming at you sideways, isn’t the best way to keep the flu virus at bay !)
Dog owners are likely to recover quicker from Heart Attacks.
(Yes, but it was the humungous Vet bill, on top of the cost to re decorate the sitting room, and the bill from the hospital visit after contracting pneumonia, that caused the heart attack in the first place !!!!)
* November, what am I talking about, sure it’s like that in the middle of August !!!

You are right as usual! I can confirm the theory that dog owners are healtier and happier than non dog owners. Taking care of a dog is almost like taking care of a child. You must provide your dog all the comfort, food, medical care and fun you can. And this makes you more active. Healthy activity in my age is essential to keep on living well.
About November in August? don’t worry you’ll get August in September!!!!
