106 of 365: They say pets lower stress levels

In case you had not noticed lately I can't catch a break. My stress levels have been sky high, I can't really eat or sleep. It has been a bad week and the next few are not looking any better. Life can be stressful sometimes and even though I am normally an upbeat person I have been feeling low. A bit of time petting my dog or cat usually help me to chill out and feel a bit better. So, I had the thought maybe a pet in SL would help too.

Now, Zha and I had chickens. We did not love them. The thing is a chicken is not cuddly or cute. They are noisy and smelly. You can't cuddle a chicken. I should know my -- husband raises chickens and has for the past 10 years. They are great if you like eggs but beyond that they are not exactly pets that soothe your rough edges.

On the other hand, bunnies are adorable. They twitch their little noses and they don't make a sound. Cute, cuddly and quiet. That sounds about right.

I will post pictures of my Ozimal bunnies as soon as they are born and I break the news to Zha.

Ari you are the best. Thanks for the suggestion!

I would off you one of those politically correct hugs that are your specialty but I am pretty sure badass Pirates don't hug or do PC anything. Come to think of it I am surprised you did not suggest rum.

Chestnut Rau said...

errrr ...that would be "offer you"...not "off you"...

Oh the rum is discretely dropped into your tea so that when the PC hug comes along, you don;t notice the shackles I clip to your wrists and the collar around your neck as we make sail for the Barbary Coast.

Muahahah!
