Take a moment to pause, breathe, and unwind. In the hustle of life, we often forget to slow down. Let this moment guide you into peaceful stillness.
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and embrace the calm. 🌿💖

Healing Hearts with Every Purr: The Therapeutic Magic of Cats
Cats play a crucial role in animal-assisted therapy by providing comfort, reducing stress, and enhancing emotional well-being. Their calming presence and gentle purring can help lower anxiety levels, improve mood, and offer companionship to individuals undergoing therapy. Cats' intuitive nature allows them to connect with people, making them excellent partners in therapeutic settings.

Experience the healing power of paws 🐾✨
Here are 5 physical health benefits of Animal-Assisted Therapy-
1) Lower Blood Pressure and Better Cardiovascular Health: Therapy animals help reduce stress, lowering cortisol and increasing oxytocin levels, which results in decreased blood pressure and heart rate, thus improving cardiovascular health.
2) Pain Alleviation and Accelerated Healing: Animal-assisted therapy eases pain by providing distraction and calm, reducing pain perception, and speeding up recovery for postoperative and chronic pain patients.
3) Boosted Motivation for Physical Activity: Therapy animals encourage physical activity, helping to improve strength, mobility, and coordination, particularly for those with physical limitations or in rehabilitation.
4) Enhanced Coordination and Physical Performance: Therapy animals inspire patients to engage in activities that improve motor skills, muscle strength, and coordination, making therapy more effective and enjoyable.
5) Strengthened Immune Function: Interacting with animals can enhance immune function by increasing immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels, reducing stress, and improving mood, which is beneficial for those with weakened immune systems.

Eyes on You: The Language of Dog Love!
Dogs stare at or observe their owners primarily to communicate their needs, such as wanting food, attention, or a walk. This behavior also stems from their instinct to bond and connect with their human companions, as eye contact strengthens their relationship. Additionally, dogs are highly observant and use staring to pick up on cues about what might happen next, driven by curiosity and the desire to understand their environment. They may also have learned that staring can result in positive reinforcement, like treats or affection, reinforcing the behavior. Overall, staring is a multifaceted behavior rooted in communication, bonding, and learned experiences.

It was all paw prints and paint today at the Paint with Puppies event with @jacquelienefernandez.
A big thanks to @jf.yolofoundation and @pawasana_ for making this happen. It’s a great way to create awareness about indie dog and their potential to become companion and therapy dogs. We encourage people to come up and adopt these gorgeous puppies.
Thank you @frankie_fete and @carrelmarci for your presence. Therapy dog Frankie is a stellar example of what indies can do when adopted and given lots of love and the right kind of training and upbringing. Check out the original painting made by Frankie!
Also a big thanks to @mitalisboardandtrain for fostering the puppies.
