'Having a dog makes me get off my butt and go for at least a stroll around the block.'
a few days per week, I've found myself going a little stir crazy these days. The best instant medicine for my feelings of anxiety? A few minutes spent petting — and er, photographing — my cats.
My pets are also an amazing asset to my new nightly routine. Whether I'm reading a book on my Kindle or watching episode after episode ofreruns, one of my pets will join me on the couch. When days seem to melt into each other, it helps to have little positive, memorable moments to break up my time spent indoors. .
Yogi has helped me maintain a sense of balance the most. Because I live in a three-floor walkup, I don't have a yard for him to run around in. That means I have to walk him at least twice a day at minimum . . . even if I don't necessarily want to go outside.ADVERTISEMENT When I'm busy working from home, sometimes the hours fly by. By the end of the day, I just want to curl up with a good book, even if I really could use the fresh air. Having a dog makes me get off my butt and go for at least a stroll around the block, and I always feel a thousand times better once I get back inside.
Another aspect of pet ownership that's helped me through social distancing? All of the animal groups I'm a part of on social media. Given the overwhelming amount of scary — and often negative — articles popping up on my newsfeed every few minutes, I love seeing photos of cute cats in the Facebook groups
