Why do pets matter so much — especially as we get older? 🐶🐱

In this heartfelt episode of Sherapy with Sheri Todd, Sheri explores the powerful bond between people and their pets — how animals comfort us through grief, lift our spirits, and remind us that unconditional love doesn’t fade with age.

From loyal dogs and loving cats to the quiet moments that help us heal, this episode celebrates the emotional support and companionship animals bring into our lives — particularly for women over 50 rebuilding, rediscovering, and learning to love again.

You’ll also hear a special Email: The Musical feature, “Julie Runs the House,” a touching musical tribute to Sheri’s cat, Julie — the little queen who ruled her world for twelve unforgettable years.

If you’ve ever loved and lost a pet, or simply believe animals make us better humans, this episode will touch your heart and remind you why pets truly heal us from the inside out.
