Celebrating Pets! A Call for Pictures and Stories

From the support, love, and companionship they offer to the way they can alert us to an oncoming attack - pets can be essential for people living with migraine. In this forum, we are celebrating our pets!

We are calling for pet pictures and stories about your pet that show the ways s/he supports your life. We look forward to seeing that sweet furry face and reading about the impact your companion has had on your life. Gracie Mae

  1. That sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate the special bond between pets and their owners, especially for those who find comfort and support in their companions during challenging times. It’s heartwarming to see such a celebration of the unique bond between pets and their owners. Pets do more than just keep us company; they can be a source of comfort, joy, and even healing.

    1. Thanks so much for the supportive words! Do you have a pet who has helped you in your life? We'd love to hear your story! Warmly - Holly - migraine.com team

  2. This is my Joanna. She's everything good. We take care of each other. She knows when I'm not feeling well and will settle herself at my side or on top of me and let me know that she's there.

    1. She is a queen and she's totally in charge in our house. She knows just how cute she is and just how effective that cuteness is on humans.

    2. 😻 sounds like she’s got you right where she wants you! Sweet Joanna. Taking such good care of her mama. ❤️

  3. Here is my Boxer, Deuce. Always by my side when I’m unwell. I think he enjoys the extra naps and being allowed in the furniture with me 😊

    1. Awe! Boxers are so cute. I can tell from your photo that you have a great bond together. How long have you and Deuce been united? - Cody (Team Member)

    2. He’s been my good boi 🐶 for 9 years. We had another Boxer, Lola, before him and she loved to take care of me too! They are super high energy, yet they have such great senses to know when it’s snuggle time 🥰. I’m very lucky!

  4. I have 4 year old brother and sister bonded pair Neapolitan Mastiff mix dogs. The tan one is Chase. He is a boy. The brindle colored one Shadow, is a girl. They are perfect for me. Even though they are big, they are low energy and very quiet dogs. They are so sweet and love to cuddle.
    I have had fainting episodes before and they always come to my rescue and are licking my face and sniffing my ears making sure that I am ok. They seem to like my quiet life and just relish being with me, and I feel the same way about them.
    They truly are such a wonderful boost for my mental health. I am so happy to have them in my life.

    1. Thank you too for allowing me to share my 2 wonderful dogs. Shadow is around 60 lbs and Chase is 75. They are my gentle giants😀

    2. SO glad you did! I just love seeing your darlings. Warmly - Holly - migraine.com team
