I believe that living with animals is one of the best ways to bring unconditional love into your home. I have two wonderful dogs that bring me such joy and peace… when they’re not barking to be let out, of course. I’m a huge advocate for having pets in your home, and I can vouch from first-hand experience how it has made a positive impact on my children and family.

Common sense would lead you to believe that when you take your family out for an afternoon or an evening; you would actually engage and enjoy each other’s company. But more and more, families appear to be “isolated-together” as each member devotes hefty amounts of energy to whatever electronic device is in front of them.
