This makes so much sense--I can attest to the fact that bringing a dog into our family increased our levels of physical activity, and it's been a great way to challenge my asthma/allergies while building up cardio health.

This is amazing--thank you for sharing! I also agree with Kayla about these kinds of efforts making similarly themed holidays meaningful. :-) While this may be far less direct, what comes to my mind is the NIH's work serving as a repository for data on zoonotic diseases (and beyond, of course) ...

Love the pics you use lol. So cute. The way the cat is stretching is the way mine get up and greet me on the rare occasion I've been out of the house. I should take inspiration and try to stretch more (outside of reaching for a snack in the back of the freezer) . . . . I was not familiar with pandiculation ...
