The Unbreakable Bond of Women and Pets

It has been pointed out numerous times that a pet can improve the health and well being of an owner, this has been researched and is irrefutable. A woman's relationship with her pet has gone to an even higher or deeper level than just the basic general health that has been discussed time and again.

Recall the stir that Paris Hilton created with her chihuahua, the two were inseparable! That pampered pooch brought to light the excessive lengths women will go to care for their pets.

Many women claim they consider their pets (mostly gogs or cats) a integral part of their family, often treating them as a child. New couples will first get a pet before venturing into the world of a child, almost like a trial of the situation to come. Inevitably, once the children have grown and left the house, many women will then bond to an animal to fill the void left behind.

A quick way to get a woman to open up in a conversation is to begin a discussion about their pet and their antics. This technique is second only to speaking about their child or spouse.

How often have you heard a woman joke that they love their pet more than their spouse? Was it really a joke? On a regular basis women will comment that their pet provides more attention and emotional support then their significant other.
The phrase "We are staying together for the sake of the animal" is something that most laugh about and shrug off. This funny statement is truer that you think, there are divorces in which the most heated element of the settlement is the custody of the family pets.

A frightening reality is the report that many women will delay or refuse to leave a relationship, even abusive, over their concern for the family pet. Deep concern for their furry companion has caused women in some cases to refuse or ignore medical treatment. The need to know that their pet is well taken care of prevents a woman from entering into a hospital for treatment or surgery and forces them to ignore symptoms that another person would seek immediate medical assistance for.

The psychological needs and bonding of a woman and a pet cannot be denied.
