New Years Resolutions

The first month of our new year is almost over! How are YOUR New Year Resolutions going?

Did you know that your beloved pets can help you keep your resolutions?

From Bonney Brown, RGJ.com:

"Studies show that people who partner with someone else on a goal are much more likely to succeed. The idea is that when you forget or don’t quite feel like it, your partner will remind you or inspire you to action. Your pet could be just the partner you need

The top resolution for 2013 is losing weight and developing a healthier lifestyle. Your dog is the ideal partner for this goal because he or she will happily remind you to get out there to walk or run if you just get them used to a routine. If you are more of a cat person, consider yoga — cats are natural yogis.

Saving money is a popular goal this year, too. Your pet does not need dinner at a fancy restaurant or expensive gifts to adore you. They offer both companionship and entertainment at bargain prices.

Enjoying life more is also high on the list of top resolutions this year. Just being with your animal friend can lower your blood pressure. Their antics bring humor to the day and they live in the moment as only the most disciplined of zen masters can."

So whether your goals need another jump start or you are going strong, invite your furry friends to join in the fun!
