The 11th November is a day dedicated to honoring military
personnel who lost their lives in service to their country. The date
commemorates the armistice signed at the end of World War I
on November 11, 1918.
Wearing a poppy is a show of support for the service and sacrifice
of our Armed Forces, veterans and their families. It represents all
those who lost their lives on active service, from the beginning of
the First World War right up to present day.

terriers and bulldogs.

Wednesday 6th November marks National Stress Awareness Day, which seeks
to raise awareness of the negative effects that stress can have on our health.
While stress can sometimes serve as a helpful motivator, too much of it can
negatively impact our mood, body, and mind.
This is where our pets play an important role: they can greatly help reduce
stress and boost mental well-being. Interacting with pets has a soothing effect
on the body, helping to lower blood pressure, ease anxiety, and increase
feelings of social support.
Petting or cuddling animals can release oxytocin, a hormone that promotes
relaxation and bonding, while also lowering cortisol levels, which are linked to
stress.
Feeling stressed? Take a few extra moments today to cuddle your pet and ease
those feelings of tension.
