    It wouldn't suprise me that I'm less healthy then Otto since feeding him innova causes me to eat top ramen :)

     
    I SERIOUSLY LOVE YOU! You and I are so much a like it's scary [:D]
     
    All my money goes to my animals, and I eat Top Ramen daily! Sooo funny!
     
    I would tyhink that dog owners are MORE healthy than those who do not own dogs, only because it's assumed that we all WALK our dogs, and that seems to me that that helps in our health.
     
    Haha, I hope that makes sense....I haven't had my coffee...[&o]
     
    Anyway, I am quite the fan of you, Otto [:)]

    ..look at the effects of pet ownership on the health of the general population.

    "Pet owners had a slightly higher BMI than the rest, which indicates that people having a pet -- particularly a dog -- could use some exercise,"


    BMI is bull. It doesn't account for diferent body types and other factors. Like mucle for instance. If I stopped horseback riding and walking my dog the mucles in my legs would deminish and so I would weigh less, but I would be less healthy because I wouldn't be getting execise.

    That doesn't seem right-seems like it should be the other way around
