Nurses turn to pet therapy

We all know pets are great for reducing the physical side effects of stress.

What furry creatures await you after a long and terrible shift?

This is my pup. She's 2. Border collie and lab. If you have an obsession with mopping (excited pee-er), digging things out of a dog's mouth, and just generally never having nice things again, she's the dog for you! I will give her this - when my shift swings, she sleeps when I sleep without any trouble.

This is my pup. She is a Pit bull plott hound mix. She's a spoiled princess but she is the smartest dog I've ever had. She's 2 years old and I call her my fur child.

Just posting the thumbnails, pics are too huge.

noelly, I think your dog looks like it's constantly up to something.

Oh, that's because she is constantly up to something.

I don't see a LIKE button for her and I want to like her because I am talking to her through the screen!

Oh, I got it. Blinded by her smile.

She is the most beautiful dog I've ever laid eyes on.

Of course I'm biased though

My fur children are too recognizable to post, but they are great for cuddles when I need them and on rare occasions when they're in the mood to give back massages!

I have 3 dogs now. Two are sisters from the same litter, Lucy and Lily. The 3rd is a neighbor dog who adopted us so his first family just let us have him. He's almost 10 years old, and is so well behaved. I can't get a pic of him to upload for some reason.

And hey look, 2 of my 3 kids (well, their backs.) All of my pics of dogs include children. They love each other.

WHOA I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT PICTURE IS TINY ON MY COMPUTER. And I don't know how to make it unattached.:cry:
