Certain holidays, however, such as today (Thanksgiving) aren't that bad, especially if you have pets.

The first thing you should do if you're feeling lonely is ask yourself if you can handle getting a pet, as pets can certainly help ease feelings of loneliness, especially with dogs. If your loneliness can be solved with a pet, then you should definitely get at least two (Three Dog Night was right in this case: One is indeed the Loneliest Number).

a very nice suggestion!

Thank you. There are plenty of pets that need good, loving families out there, and studies have shown that having pets provides a large number of benefits, the biggest of which are increased happiness and even more importantly, an increase in lifespan.

Yes, BUT only if you are committed fully into your beloved companion.
It's a life committment meant to be taken fully seriously. No backing down once you have made that step, so think carefully before you make it.
