Uncle John says Pet Owners Live Longer





A UNCLE JOHN’S BATHROOM READER trivia fact:
 
‘Pet owners live longer and are less stress and have fewer heart attacks.’

My first thought was “They do?”  With all that fretting about keeping them free of fleas and heart worms, the right foods, and making sure they get a good walk daily? – but wait!  The good walk for the pet is good for me too – so, maybe that is the reason pet owners live longer.  But that would not go for animals that you can’t walk such as snakes, goldfish, and hamsters.

Also, I think it is probable that if pet owners live longer, so do the pets, than if they were ownerless.  Like, take Willow and me for example:  We both are considered “old”, we both probably  have already outlived out life expectancy – are we trying to outlive each other?
