 Pet Peeves of a Peeved Pet
(Page 2 of 2)
But, don’t take it from me alone.
In one study I read, Dr. Judith Siegel from the
University of California, Los Angeles reviewed the
behavior of 938 Medicare enrollees and reported in
the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
that elderly people who owned a pet needed
fewer doctor visits. (And they wonder what I do all
day.)
Yet, when the health of your loved
one is at stake by keeping a pet, a serious
discussion with their physician is in order.
And it is important to consider having a pet trust
in place detailing your loved one’s wishes for their
pet’s care if they should die before the pet.
Gary’s coming back now, so I have
to stop typing. Don’t tell him we’ve been talking,
but take it from me—a pet can be a wonderful source
of comfort for your loved one. As long as you
make sure that they are being cared for as well as
they care for their owners.
