Share with us one of your best experiences with an animal 😺
Pets help with emotional well-being but not everyone has a pet. There are, however, numerous ways we can connect with animals like going for a walk, do pet sitting or dog walking or volunteer at an animal shelter. it has been discovered that stroking animals helps people relax and improves their emotional health. Watching movies of adorable creatures, like monkeys, can also lower stress levels to a great extent. All things considered, engaging with animals can be a really effective way to reduce stress and elevate happiness.
Here is a fun video to watch "Funny talking animals" .

I just ABSOLUTELY love animals. My dog will often come over to me if I’m sad. Sleeping next to her helps me, I can utilize mindfulness and sync my breathing with her. It’s always fun to pet them, see their reactions and of course their adorable faces. 🐄 🐖 🐴 🐘 🐢 🐶 🐱
The video is funny and cute. thank you for sharing it!
@peachThinker662
That sounds lovely and very comforting! Glad you liked the video!
@amiablePeace77
The video was cute. I don't know why but I love it when they put animals movement to Michael Jackson songs. Maybe it's the rhythm.
I've saved many animals and their reactions are priceless. The most recent animal I've saved was a kitten. When I brought her in, she just laid flat out on the carpet and fell asleep. I later found a home for her because my cat did not like her.
You are a life saver!
@amiablePeace77
Does being chased down the street by a monkey count ? 😂
@Amanda84 That's both funny and terrifying at the same time! 😳😅
@mytwistedsoul
It was mostly terrifying 😂 for the monkey 🐵 🐒
If you find that was a good experience then yes! Lol I’ve heard that some monkies here chased kids 😮
@Amanda84
only you 😂
@peachThinker662
Does this not happen to everyone? 😂😂
@Amanda84
i mean it hasn’t happened to me… but maybe someone else can relate 😂😂
what kind of monkey was it? And Were you in a shopping carriage? 🤣
@peachThinker662
No shopping carriage this time 😂
🐒 A regular monkey, he liked the look of me, had a hold of my hair 😂
@Amanda84
oh my word!!! 😅
@peachThinker662
I was also similarly mistreated by a koala 🐨
@Amanda84
Wow!!! They all love your hair 💕
i don’t think I’ve seen a koala irl nm that close of an interaction!!!
@peachThinker662
He was horrid cute but smelly and bit had he a grip, I have long dark black hair, goes down by back, the animals had a field day with it 😂
@Amanda84
Boy had he a grip!
@Amanda84
They’re so cute, sorry to hear they stink 🤭
did you work in a zoo? Or are they just amongst your area?
@peachThinker662
It was when I was travelling the world, in my area, you'll see nothing more than a cat 😸
@Amanda84
that’s quite AMAZING!!! 🤩
@peachThinker662
It was 🥰
I have to be honest, I prefer animals over people 😅 I've been looking at puppies lately, trying to decide what to get. I lost both my girls now and I miss them. They were silly and loved making me laugh. Taz used to get in my face and just sniff, wagging her tail. The harder you laughed, the faster her tail wagged, which would make me laugh more.
Current favorite experiences are the horse searching my pockets for treats and resting his head against my chest on days when I feel down
It hurts when we lose such wonderful beings like your girls who made you laugh. I fi d horses are a amazing in giving comfort!
@amiablePeace77 They're very empathetic animals!
@amiablePeace77
Living or always vacationing in the countryside, the choice is hard. We have had budgies, dogs, cats and rats at home as well as polite raccoons in the yard when living in the US. I used to ride as well or help my sister with lambing ewes or her rabbit farm. I've walked with herds, helped a frightened horse out of a wire fence by myself (I was worried I would get kicked) and what not.
As a musician, I would have LOVED to have a parrot or cockatoo-type bird at home.
You seem to have always been close to animals in your life. I believe this closeness enriches one’s life. It’s u derstandable that you were somewhat worried with that horse. A frightened horse can easily kick like humans too when scared .😊 I’ve listened to so e videos where parrots were singing - amazing!
@amiablePeace77
Thanks! Yes, I am envious when I see those bird videos myself. I wish I could have taught tunes and funny noises to my own parrot.
@amiablePeace77 I grew up in a small farm, and have had cats and dogs afterwards, but not at the moment. But I've discovered, that even just observing someone passing by with a dog, for example, of watching documentaries about animals can be very soothing.
@ElinaLV
I agree with you, documentaries about animals can be very relaxing and one can learn a lot. I watch them too!
My cat LOVES watching Planet Earth with me. Gets completely fixated and stares at the TV for hours.
In my spare time I nanny and petset and I love it when I get to pets it for people because it is not only super fun but so easy I love all animals and I think that it is so great to go and be around animals that you have never been around before and how they take to me like I have been a part of the family for years.. it would be so awesome to open up a dog shelter or a rescue something that gave these animals a second chance because it breaks my heart that so many of them are pushed to the side because of irresponsible owner's. There is a dog rescue in Costa Rica where this lady and her husband have over like 1,000 dogs or something like that she has a hundred acres and she's just takes any dogs off the streets because she cares that much and people will go there just to run with the dogs if anyone has ever heard about it it is the coolest thing and hopefully one day I'd be able to go there and do that! And if you're all into funny animal videos look up raccoons on a trampoline you will not regret it ❤️❤️❤️
@naturesbeauty1234
It's amazing what some people do to help animals! Some of these stray animals carry deep wounds (emotional and physical) and are so grateful when somebody shows them love and takes care of them!
@amiablePeace77
Patting kittens 😸 so nice and cool!
@daydreammemories
Aww, kittens are so sweet! 😃
@amiablePeace77b my best experience I had was with 4 dogs. One I had when I was a child she was my first dog- Rags I did everything with her. As crazy as it may sound I tried teaching her how to blow a bubble from bubble gum. I tried several times till I realized that wasn’t somethin’ she could do. She also helped me eat dinner I didn’t Wanna to finish without mom finding out despite fact she was on the other side of the table. Lol
The second one was my daughters og Gem she stayed with us till my daughter came to get her as she asked my husband and her to get a 6 week old yorkie. That girl was so much fun I would tell people you could not help not being depressed. Them take her outside—- like a typical woman as I would say we would get to the corner and wings be blowing she would sit down and literally brush her hair out her face with her paw. Guess she didn’t realize she had hair all over face.
My 3rd he was somethin’ . With him I Don’t Know where I got the name at first but I called him Bandit which I later realized I got the name from a cartoon I used to watch as a child “Johnny quest”. Bandit was true to his name let a person come in the home have Walker in pocket or in purse and person look for it and wouldn’t find it. Look on the floor there was Bandit with the Wallet he never got caught in the act. He was a ladies man. Let a woman come by he would immediately lay down and wait for her to rub his stomach.
Finally my girl Sapphire a real scavenger as I called her a scavenger she wouldn’t bite you but don’t dare have fuss in your hand. She would jump up and grab food from your hand. She also I think had no idea she was dog. I think she truly believed she was a cat. She caught mice twice after that the other tenants had mice but none bothered to come into my apartment again. Part I hated was after she caught the first one she actually played with it like it was a darn ball. The second one she bought under the covers you wake up and yikes a dead mouse laying next to you. Lol
@eternalHero77
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Sapphire was truly special lol!
I have a video of my newest puppy getting close to the cd player and then getting scared when it went louder and running away. (It's first experience with it)
Our other dog tucks toys and shoes in bed around my wife if she sleeps late. She wakes up surrounded by stuff from all over the house.
Once the neighbors were practicing golf in their front yard... my dog took their ball and ran away.
@fairmindedCucumber3571
Seems your dog wanted to practise golf too lol!
