We all know that stress and HIV is not a good combination. Pets can help us lower our stress, and they are a part of the family too. So who has pets? Let's show them off! This is my Odie. He was born August 19, 2010. CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE THEM.

My pets kept me going while I was laying on the couch for my first month or two while i was recovering. They just wouldn't let me out of there sight. They are still like that now, the dogs and the cat. So I have a huge debt to them.

Baby boy with his forepaw bandaged up very well because he managed to break off a dew claw last week ,.
( but has having a very well bandaged paw slowed him down one bit well I think not :) ) .
