To My Beloved Furry Friend

For your small size, you've done big things for me.

To my Beloved Furry Friend,

Where do I even start. At first you were just a lonely pair of eyes staring at me from the other side of the metal bars. Your paws clicked at the same time something did inside my heart as you rose to walk toward me. The workers grabbed the keys, let you out, and the moment I first pet you I knew you were something special. I still remember the first night we brought you home and you sniffed around the entire house. I laughed as you tip toed past every piece of furniture and ran past things that startled you. By the end of the night you were comfortable and I taught you how to get up on my bed to cuddle with me, which still to this day is your favorite.

The time has seemed short but it has been many years that I have had you and the things you have helped me through have been tremendous. You've always been there for me to cry to about boys, school, and beyond. Petting you is the most relaxing and comforting thing ever. You are the best stress reliever as well. Just talking to you about random things even when you can't respond has calmed me. In that same way, you have helped me talk things through and together we have made some tough life decisions; don't let this get to your head, but every time you have been right. You are always there when I need a good laugh as well. You climb on random pieces of furniture in who knows what way and you prance after your toys with so much excitement it kills me. The most random objects entertain you and you tend to sleep in the weirdest yet most humorous locations and positions.

Some days I think of where I would be without you and I realize I would be even more of a hot mess. I need you more than anyone or anything in the world and thankfully you are the one I can trust to always be there, no matter what. You are the highlight of my day and the reason why I love coming home. I know when I open the door you will be there wagging your tail or start rubbing all over my legs. We have an inseparable bond and for that I am forever thankful. Without you I would be wandering through life, constantly upset, always wanting someone to cuddle and play with, and feeling lost in this big big world.

Out of 7 billion people, you chose me and for that I feel extremely grateful. You didn't have to come to greet me, you didn't have to give me that look, you didn't have to do all the things you have done for me, yet you have. I have been blessed with the best furry friends I could ever ask for. Even though we fight and you get on my nerves when you lick my face while I want to sleep or beg for food while I'm eating, I will always throw you something every now and again or allow you a minute to go to town because I love you. And without you, I would be nothing.

Thanks for being you and for giving me all the memories, laughs, advice, cuddles, and more.

Love,

Your Person

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
