To borrow a phrase seen used with dogs, they are the goodest boys.

Hope all is well with you and your kids.

Speaking of wellness, my health is a bit of a mess with several neurological, autoimmune, endocrine, mitochondrial, (are we done yet!?!?!?) and musculoskeletal things happening which among other collateral damage can have my body hurting pretty bad in part or in whole.

They can sense it and one or both will make extra effort to snuggle, occasionally right where I'm hurting or having muscle spasms.

Such as several nights ago,

The other night, Lady Reba Arriba Ándele laid across my shoulder/chest, snuggled tight to my ear, and positively RUMBLED.

Yes, they are the goodest boys (and gals)!

Pets can boost your brain power, National Institute of Health says - ABC7 Los Angeles

Having a long-term pet companion may delay memory loss and other kinds of cognitive decline, a new study has found. Pet ownership was especially beneficial for working verbal memory, such as memorization of word lists, according to the preliminary research.

"To our knowledge, our study is the first to consider the effect of duration of pet ownership on cognitive health," first author Jennifer Applebaum, a sociology doctoral candidate and National Institute of Health predoctoral fellow at University of Florida, told CNN in an email.

And it's not just cats and dogs that can boost the brain. People in the study also cared for rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish and reptiles, Applebaum said, although "dogs were most prevalent, followed by cats."
