What having a pet does to your brain and body





With the cat warming his feet and the music in low, Carter stretched out on the living
room sofa with a book and a short glass of Jameson.
He’d spent winter evenings like this before, he mused, with the cat and a book for company after work was
done. It contented him.
He wished he had a fire. Of course, he’d need a fireplace first. But a fire would add a nice civilized evening-at home
touch. A kind of Masterpiece Theatre touch.

The professor and his cat by the fire, reading on a snowy evening.

Your pets have a larger effect on your body and brain than you might think. 
They have the ability to increase levels of oxytocin in the brain, 
bringing you a state of calm.

He climbed in himself, decided on a book rather than TV to 
ease him toward sleep.
By the time Fin turned off the light, Bugs was quietly snoring. 
Fin found the sound of it a small comfort, and wondered how pathetic it was 
when a snoring dog eased the lonely.

You And Your Dog Share A Bed





 "Yeah, you fell into roses, didn't you? And didn't have to do a thing to earn it. Goofy-looking dog." 
Seth nearly blinked, realizing Cam was speaking to Foolish and not him. 
"It'll be his problem, won't it, when you're grown and take up more of the bed than he does."
 Cautious, Seth slitted his eyes open just enough so he could see through his lashes. He saw Cam's hand come down, give Foolish a quick, careless stroke. Then the tangled sheets and blanket came up, smoothed over his shoulders. That same hand gave Seth's head a quick and careless stroke.
 When the door closed again, Seth waited thirty full seconds before daring to open his eyes. He looked straight into Foolish's face. The pup seemed to be grinning at him as though they'd gotten away with something. 
Grinning back, Seth draped an arm around the pup's pudgy body.
 "I guess it is a pretty good deal, huh, boy?" he whispered.
 In agreement, Foolish licked Seth's face, then yawning hugely, settled down to sleep again.
 This time, when Seth dropped off to sleep, there were no sweaty dreams to haunt him.

Like people, dogs have all kinds of sleeping habits. In fact, the way your dog sleeps can say a lot about who they are, other than just being a good boy.

With that mess sorted out, he moved into the bedroom, tossed down one of the big pillows that grouped on the sofa in his sitting area. 
But the dog, fully at home now, jumped onto the big, high bed, stretched out like a potentate at his ease. 
“Well, at least you’re clean.” He climbed in himself, decided on a book rather than TV to ease him toward sleep. 
By the time Fin turned off the light, Bugs was quietly snoring. 
Fin found the sound of it a small comfort, and wondered how pathetic it was when a snoring dog eased the lonely.

Little Things

“I think you should come out to dinner with me. I’ve a place in mind you’ll like, very much.”
“Out to dinner? And what sort of place would this be?”
“A very fancy place. Romantic and elegant, and where the food is a god.”

He put his arms around her, gave her what she needed short of snapping bones. Then he kissed the top of her head, her temples, her mouth.

“Better, better.” She sighed it out.
