Pets: One of Life's Greatest Blessings

Why Pets Are The Absolute Best
Annah Smith

So many people love animals. They are often our greatest joy and some would even say their closest friends. I even know people that although they struggle from pet-related allergies, they still decide to have them. There are so many things that make pets better than most humans. I mean, just check out any social media sites and you will see that people share posts with animals any time they want to share some positivity or laughter. Personally, I have recognized a few traits that make my pets the absolute best.

Basically, sometimes I wish I could date my dog. He is loyal, he is always happy to see me, he likes to cuddle, he is a great listener, and he always makes me laugh. My cat is a little bit harder to feel the love from but she is still such a great addition to my life. She is such a comfort, she never hides her feelings from me (I always know when she especially hates me), she likes to go on adventures outside, and she isn't very needy most of the time. Plus, they are super cute!!

I think a lot of humans could learn from animals. For one, the way that they genuinely get excited when they see their family and friends is something we could all be better at. If everyone was as excited to see each other as pets are, then we would all feel so much joy! We could also learn a few things about how animals communicate with people when they are sad. Dogs especially are the best about this. Anytime I am crying my dog will get up in my face and try to lick my tears away, or sometimes he just knows when I just need him to sit next to me. If we as humans could show that much genuine care for each other in times of sadness, maybe we wouldn't be sad that often.

Something about cats that could be a good lesson for humans is the way that they don't hide the way they feel about people. If a cat doesn't like you, you will know. They aren't fake about anything. To a degree this is something that we should do, but not the extent that we are rude! Also, cats are known for their amazing balance. The way that they take such bold leaps with the confidence that they will land, is truly inspiring. We should be more bold in trusting ourselves to be balanced enough to make it through big leaps in life!

The best thing about pets though, is the genuinely dumb things that they do. They do so many silly things that bring everyone so much joy. I mean just google funny dog videos and you will be watching and laughing for days. I think we need to be more bold about doing goofy things. A lot of times we hide our silly sides, but why not let them show and bring a little more laughter into everyone's lives.

Basically, pets are the best and we should try to learn from their pure, wonderful ways!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
