Why We Love National Pet Day

1. They make the best companions

   Pets make the most loving and devoted creatures. They cure our loneliness and stress, mold their schedules to us, and often become integral members of our families.

2. They help us keep up with routines

   Scheduling walks, playdates, and feeding times allows us to plan our days with discipline, makes us more likely to stick to routines, and teaches us time management skills. Sometimes our pets can be the reason we get out of bed each morning. (Yes, they can help improve symptoms of depression.)

3. They bring meaning to our lives

   You develop a mutual dependency upon each other and that feels great.

4. Adn this is our pet snail Turbo

I loved your pet trivia @Narta1612 and wanted to share my pet turtle 🐢 turbo he’s a 14 yr old yellow belly slider, and has a pleco fish buddy. These guys are very active and entertaining. I love watching them, they bring us lots of joy!

They're great pets! I think that I can buy a turtle for my son. Can these turtles walk and dry, can they be out of the aquarium?

@Narta1612 they do bask under heat lamp, I custom made a basking top for turbo that has a ramp for easy access and gives him plenty of swimming space with a large resting loft on top. 

These images are are examples, I combined these by making  a cabinet top with egg crate material for basking ramp and basket.. he loves it!

When you think you’re standing still remember this fact. Even though you don’t feel it, our entire local group of galaxies is moving at about one million miles per hour toward another galaxy group called the Virgo Cluster.
