PetPix Today!

There are many reasons why pets prefer to go into hiding around Halloween, as evidenced by the many weird and wonderful costumes in which their owners dress them. While we get hearty laughs from the various get-ups we see through our never-ending email photos, one really has to wonder how good all this fussing around can possibly be for the animal companion. No matter how serious a person may be, seeing some of these pet costumes can really make one laugh out loud.

Ongoing studies bring us more news about the positive affect pets can have on us at every age and for all walks of life. From the calming influence of a Guide Dog for autistic children and their family to the happiness-factor blood-pressure-reducing effect of visiting pet programs for the shut-ins in hospitals, retirement villas and nursing homes, the perceived and real value of our pets continues to increase.

One of our goals in this pet blog and on our main website at www.MillionDollarPetPix.com is to celebrate pets with pet lovers and pet owners around the world. To share stories, photos and information that celebrates the wonder of pets and that promotes responsible pet ownership in a fun and positive way.
