Every morning my dog wakes up full of energy, rushes down the stairs, and anxiously awaits as I get ready to take her on our morning walk. It's a good reminder on how to approach each day, even when I wake up tired and grumpy. Her days are all the same, walk, eat, nap, eat, walk, nap, eat, walk, sleep. If she can be excited about that, I can certainly appreciate the variety I get in my days and make the best of them.

I was always a dog person until I moved in with my partner who has cats. Having never lived with cats before I was amazed at how good they are at communicating with humans. Based on how they vocalise I know if they are asking for food, treats, or milk. I'm also now convinced that they have a sense of humour. Spending more time with them has been a really nice thing about this lockdown.

Agreed. My cats have saved my life several times over, especially over the last year.

Agreed. I got a kitten last year and he has taught me a lot.
