Bonfoey speaks to Cherokee County Crime Commission
Last week I was in a kind of a funk. I felt blue and had a case of the “blahs. ” Janet, my wife, who is also a professional counselor, suggested dog therapy. This consisted of lying on the living room floor with the dog and petting her half an hour. When I had finished the “session ” with Molly McDog, I felt absolutely cured of my malaise. I gave Molly a dog biscuit for the therapy and scheduled my next appointment with her. Our pets can be a source of comfort and love. They are companions that can fill up some of the vacant spaces in our lives. It is to our benefit to have healthy relationships with pets. Pets can be helpers and buddies that give us the opportunity to give and receive unconditional love. We can also feel good about the care we give our pets. Feeding them and playing with them is special for both the pet and the owner. It is good to be thankful for pets. They are truly gifts. Dr. Jim Kowalski is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private practice in Blairsville, Georgia.
