Sometimes, we get stressed when everything happens all at once.Instead of taking it out on an innocent animal, a person shouldtake
a deep breath and try to find something to do for a fewminutes to get your mind off of the problem. A person could takea walk, listen to some music, read the newspaper or do anactivity that will give them a fresh perspective on things. Thismental timeout can help you refocus on your current situation.

As a Layman and not as a professional, I realize it is not easyto deal with all of our fears and other problems, however do nottake it out on your pets or other animals. They didn't doanything wrong and remember there are better ways to deal withyour anxieties and stresses.
