This is a picture of my dog, Copper. Yes, he’s sticking his tongue out…after he chewed up a football. Pets are therapeutic to me. They always have been. In that past, when I was down, all I would have to do is pet my cat. Now, I pet my dog Copper or watch my bearded dragon, Grendel stare at me when he is sitting on my desk. I often wonder what he is thinking. Animals are so innocent and smart. They know how to make you smile.
