I had the most invigorating hike today and was ready to call it quits for the day. My friend suggested we go and cool off while we spread our love around. "What" I remarked; Lisa explained that she was a volunteer at Foothills Animal Rescue and she goes in there to spend time with the cats and kittens. She made me promise I would not try to take all of them home. It was hard to do. I fell in love with Bluefish, but as much as I wanted to, somehow I knew that my own two cats would not be impressed with my idea.
I know some of you are thinking I can't take a cat in; well you do not have to. You can spend as little as 30 minutes, once a week to come in and just pet, groom and play with cats and kittens. It is so much fun. You can also be a foster parent to an animal until a permanent home has been found. And you can always adopt as well.

Did you know that pet's can actually make you healthier and can even help you to get a date?
According to WebMD's article 5 Ways Pets Can Improve Your Health;
A pet is certainly a great friend. After a difficult day, pet owners quite literally feel the love.
In fact, for nearly 25 years, research has shown that living with pets provides certain health benefits. Pets help lower blood pressure and lessen anxiety. They boost our immunity. They can even help you get dates.
Date Magnets Dogs are great for making love connections. Forget Internet matchmaking -- a dog is a natural conversation starter.
This especially helps ease people out of social isolation or shyness, Nadine Kaslow, PhD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Emory University in Atlanta, tells WebMD.
Dogs for the Aged "Studies have shown that Alzheimer's patients have fewer anxious outbursts if there is an animal in the home," says Lynette Hart, PhD, associate professor at the University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
Walking a dog or just caring for a pet -- for elderly people who are able -- can provide exercise and companionship. One insurance company, Midland Life Insurance Company of Columbus, Ohio, asks clients over age 75 if they have a pet as part of their medical screening -- which often helps tip the scales in their favor.
