Entr\u00e9 a un refugio de animales \u201csolo por diversi\u00f3n\u201d... y sal\u00ed con una gatita. Eso fue durante la pandemia. Es una gatita muy cari\u00f1osa; no puede sentarse usted en el sof\u00e1 por mucho tiempo sin que venga a acomodarse en su regazo. Se llama Fanta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Tres a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de adoptar a Fanta, estaba en una tienda local con uno de mis hijos. El lugar funcionaba como tienda de segunda mano y refugio de animales. Alguien nos dijo: \u201c\u00a1Vuelvan este fin de semana! \u00a1Nos llegan cachorros beagle!\u201d \u00bfCachorros beagle? \u00bfHay algo m\u00e1s chulo? As\u00ed que regres\u00e9 con mi hija para \u201cver\u201d los beagles. Cinco d\u00edas despu\u00e9s, regres\u00e9 para recoger a mi nueva perrita, Waffles. Me dijeron que como m\u00e1ximo pesar\u00eda 26 libras. Hoy pesa 62. Definitivamente no es solo beagle\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Cuando nuestros hijos crec\u00edan, siempre hubo mascotas en casa, pero nunca las sent\u00ed como m\u00edas. Estas nuevas son distintas. Me siguen a todas partes y, a pesar de las responsabilidades \u2014alimentarlas, pasearlas, limpiarlas\u2014 realmente enriquecen nuestras vidas. Les he tomado un gran cari\u00f1o. A veces bromeo diciendo que son buenas para mi salud mental\u2026 pero no creo que sea una broma. Aqu\u00ed les comparto algunos beneficios de tener mascotas, tanto desde mi experiencia personal como la de otras personas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>3 beneficios de tener una mascota:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Apoyo emocional<\/strong> \u2013 Las mascotas brindan consuelo, compa\u00f1\u00eda y reducen la sensaci\u00f3n de soledad.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Estructura diaria<\/strong> \u2013 Cuidar de una mascota aporta una rutina saludable y un sentido de responsabilidad a nuestro d\u00eda.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Alegr\u00eda inesperada<\/strong> \u2013 Sus personalidades tan particulares y su lealtad traen risas y calidez a la vida cotidiana.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">La disciplina de cuidar una mascota fue muy positiva para nuestros hijos tambi\u00e9n. Eso s\u00ed, aseg\u00farese de que sean ellos quienes se encarguen de verdad. En nuestra casa hubo de todo: tortugas, conejos, h\u00e1msters, p\u00e1jaros\u2026 Hubo un momento en que las mascotas superaban en n\u00famero a nuestra familia de ocho personas! Pens\u00e9 que ya hab\u00eda terminado con esa etapa.\nPero, de alguna manera, el tener mis propias mascotas ha despertado en m\u00ed un amor por los animales que no sab\u00eda que ten\u00eda. Ahora que nuestros hijos son adultos y como disfruto tanto de mi trabajo, f\u00e1cilmente podr\u00eda pasar todo el d\u00eda fuera de casa. Pero mis mascotas me traen estructura. Especialmente mi perrita, a quien debo sacar a caminar. Aunque a veces sea dif\u00edcil hacerle espacio en la agenda, Waffles me ha ayudado a establecer l\u00edmites sanos. Un beneficio m\u00e1s de tener una mascota.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just as Arturo and I were getting ready to be empty nesters, something strange happened to me.
