All the Creatures

It has been a while since I did a post on celebrity pets. Since I am looking at a pair of Taylor Swift tickets to a concert, I’ll start off with her. Taylor has 3 pets that I know of, a cat named Indie, a min pin named Bug (that’s her and Bug in the photo) and she also has a Doberman but I don’t know the name of that one.

Next up is Cher. I would picture her with a little dog like Paris Hilton has but Cher comes from a different background and had a different kind of pet. Cher has a miniature horse. How about Betty White? A cat maybe? Betty has dogs and is a staunch animal welfare advocate. She is often pictured with dogs for photo shoots to raise money for shelters all over the USA. She has also no fear about handling lizards and other exotic pets.

I know it is early to be thinking of Christmas, after all summer is not even over yet. Of course the local news is already talking about the coming shopping season and if it will be a bad one or not. It is so unfortunate that the human world is based upon people making things to sell to people that buy things. That brings me to the annual tradition of sending Christmas cards. That tradition, in my opinion should end. It takes vital planet resources just for making money. Electronic Christmas cards are much better, or better yet, just talk to your loved one and exchange holiday greetings. Don’t help destroy our planet by buying something that will get tossed out after a week or so. Say no to Christmas cards this year.

Do you love your pet well enough to take them to work with you? Can you take them to work? Of course the owner of a company or a family run business not only has the privilege to do so, they often are required to. Ranchers that have working dogs, may or may not be considered pets, but either way they are often more valuable than the highest pedigreed dog in the area. Those dogs are workers. What about pets that just lay around your feet all day while you work? Are they working pets? I would say yes. Those pets often provide a person a way to avoid work related stress. I cannot tell you how many times my pets have removed stress from my day almost instantly after they have nuzzled me or bugged me until I pet them.

Maybe if more companies would allow pets in their work place then worker stress would be eliminated. I am aware that the food industry would be off limits to my idea but those that work in offices would be perfect candidates. There would be less stressful engineers, sales people and accounting jobs. Who knows, maybe it would cut down on violence in the work place.

An interesting idea and I wonder if it has been put into practice already in more rural communities. Maybe it has since most work place violence has been occurring in larger metropolitan areas.
