these two fluffs…

[…and a whole lot of fluffing lately…]

i came across an article the other day that talked about a recent study showing that children tend to have better health if they’ve had close contact with a dog or a cat in the first twelve months of their lives. this made me so happy! i have always believed that animals are, in so many different ways, such a healthy and wonderful part of life, especially while growing up. they teach responsibility, non-verbal communication, unconditional love, and most of all i think they make your soul happy. and i tend to feel that when your soul is happy, your body follows. so, i’m really glad that science has decided to go on and start proving more ways that fluffies are good for you, since we’ve got these two fabulous furballs, and they’re just waiting for a baby of their own to plant some smooches on… in fact, minnie and i had a little chat in the car just the other day about how much our newest little family member is going to love growing up with a pup and a kitty for bffs. and she won’t be growing up with just any fluffies. she’ll be growing up with a minnie. and a sophie. and that will be interesting. oh, but these fluffs, they complete me. and i think baby girl is going to feel the same way. i mean, she doesn’t really have a choice, now does she? 😉
