I Love Lucy!

Lucy dressed up for Gasparilla
Clayton Gray Home loves dogs.
More specifically, we love Lucy. She sits with us in our office everyday…all day. Lucy is a three year old Wheaton Terrier and is the sweetest, most loving dog ever. She greets visitors with a smile and a wag and makes everyone feel at home and at ease.

When Glamour published an article about the health benefits of “man’s best friend,” we just had to share with our readers.
According to Lexi Petronis,“When you pet a dog, your body is flooded with oxytocin, otherwise known as the “cuddle hormone.” The hormone makes you feel lovey and more bonded–and it may even make wounds heal faster.
Petting a dog (and sometimes even just seeing a dog, according to research) results in lowered blood pressure and less stress and anxiety.
So when it comes to treating anxiety and depression, some doctors are forgoing the meds as a first step and prescribing pets, instead. There’s even evidence that people who own dogs require fewer trips to the doctor for other ailments–20% fewer, as a matter of fact! ”
Lucy certainly helps keep all of us here at Clayton Gray Home healthy. While she is not “for sale” we do offer a few canine home furnishings that may bring health and happiness to your home.
