The Pets of MEA They’re purr-fect pet photos from our MEA members. After a long day at work, coming home to an animal who loves you, no matter what can, make the stress seem to go away. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pets can lower your blood pressure and cholesterol and increase opportunities for socialization and outdoor activities. That’s on top of the companionship and the cuteness. The MEA wanted to share a little of that cuteness with its members and put the call out for photo submissions in its first ever The Pets of MEA contest.
