An Open Letter To My Fur Baby

No matter what type of fur baby you have, these words ring true.

An Open Letter To My Fur Baby
Rochelle Hetrick

Dear Fur Baby,

There is so much love, laughter, and life experiences I have shared with you. You have helped me through so much, and I don't think I would be able to be where I am today if you were not in my life. No matter what happens, you will always be family to me.

I wanna start off by saying that you are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. When we got you when I was younger, I did not think that we would be so close to one another. I took for granted being able to see you on a daily basis, and I wish that I had appreciated it more when I was in school/at home. You went with me through some pretty rough times, like break-ups or my eye surgeries, and supported me through the good times, like my graduation from high school. There is so much more I am thankful for, Bubber, but these are the main things.

Thank you for constantly finding a way to make me smile. You are such a silly girl, and even in some of the darkest times of my life you somehow managed to make me feel a little better. Whether it is your goofy little smile or the random times you play with treats, you always manage to make the room brighter. This is a quality about you I am not sure everyone possesses. Let's face it, your smile is addictive baby girl.

Although you are an older dog, you still act like a puppy. It is hard to believe my parents when they say "oh yeah she's 13." Baby girl you need to slow down! It feels like just yesterday we picked you up and brought you home with us. I wasn't happy that you went to the bathroom on the way home on me, but you were not even a year old. You didn't know any better. I love how energetic you still are, and even with a torn ACL, you still try to be the same energetic self when you can. We practically grew up together, so it is going to be so hard when I have to say goodbye to you. I can't see my life without you, honey. I want you to know that I am gonna try and do what I can when the time comes, but for now let's focus on the positive aspects that you contain.

Peach, as we continue to grow, I want you to know that I love you no matter what. Things happen for a reason, but I want to be able to support you whether I am home or not. Sure, it can be hard, but it is so worth it. I always ask about you when I call my parents, and you are generally on my mind when I think of home. I don't see you as much as mom and dad. It can be difficult, but I am gonna be there for you as you were for me when we were younger. I want you to know that I love you, and you are the best fur baby I could ever ask for!

Sincerely,

A loving owner

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
