And

You know, I made a distinction.

You know, everybody says, you know, good companion.

You know, they are constantly wagging their tails.

They only think in the present.

They don't think in the future.

They don't think of the past.

They're right there with you.

But, you know, for some of us and I can speak personally.

For some of us, there's a notch higher than companion and I call it a soulmate companion.

And we really, I have found, you know, even with friends and family members, colleagues who have pets, they talk differently about their pets than they do about the human interactions that they might have.

There's a calming aspect to

to it all.

And so there, there's something to be said.

I, you know, I can speak from just personal experience.
