Do you have a furry friend at home?

My daughter is addicted to YouTube shorts.

It was getting out of hand:
🔶 She barely socializes,
🔶 She eats less, and
🔶 She sleeps late.

But then, everything changed when we brought home Tommy, a playful 25-day-old Shih Tzu!

He’s now:
🍎 the apple of her eye,
🍎 her best friend, and
🍎 her new little sibling to care for.

She’s loving every moment with him – playing, bathing, feeding, and even cleaning up after him (yes, you read that right!).

I’m thrilled, my mom’s thrilled, and I’m sure Tommy is lapping up all the attention too!

Do you have a furry friend at home?

Do you think pets can be a positive distraction for kids, helping them break away from harmful digital habits?
