    Something that has helped tremendously with my anxiety and depression was getting a dog. Having him around alleviates some of the loneliness that comes with daily treatments.

    1. If you have a pet, what are some of the biggest benefits you’ve noticed? Please share a picture of them!
    2. If you don’t have a pet, is it more of a personal preference, or something related to having CF?

    Ok yes to all of this. I’ve always had pets growing up, and in middle school my mom thought it would be perfect for me to have my own hypo-allergenic, pedigree, lap dog as a companion, especially for when I got sick.

    This month Leo turns 14 years old, and he’s been affectionately named demon by nearly all of my friends, family, and passerby’s. Despite his terrible attitude, that little dog has provided me with so much laughter and stories that everyone knows who he is. And, honestly, I don’t know what life would be like without him.
