A Thank You To Pets

Where would we be without our furry friends?

A Thank You To Pets
Beth Weeks

Whether you are a die-hard cat or dog person, one thing can be said about you, nonetheless. If you take the time to think about it, you have a lot to thank your pet for. I still can't get over how stinking cute my cat and dog are, it's probably obnoxious, but newsflash. I really don't care. Pets somehow manage to become our best friends without ever saying a word to us. You can never truly be alone if you have your pet with you.

Thank you to our pets for sharing their whole lives with us. They may only be around for part of our time on earth, but we play a major role in their entire lives. That's an incredible thing to be able to share, make sure you don't let it go to waste.

Pets know when we're sad and try to comfort us. Pets can sense our emotions and try to make us feel better. I know when I'm sad, my cat head butts me and makes me pet him and my dog lays on my lap and licks my arm and smiles at me. Pets are intelligent and they have the ability to surprise us every single day.

Being greeted at the door by my dog and cat is a favorite part of my day. Our pets love when we come home, even if you live with other people, they get excited to see each person return. It's uplifting for you as a pet owner and for them as your furry legged friend.

Each pet has their own weird quirks, which as your owner you see as adorable, even when it may be kind of annoying. My cat won't eat food unless someone walks down the stairs with him and stands by his food dish for a minute. My dog chases you down the hall and barks at you if you walk in the house without petting him. I bet your pet has weird habits too, but they just make you love them all the more.

They are just too dang cute and I can't get over it. I'm that annoying pet owner who will post pictures of my pet to my Snapchat story and put the heart eye emoji. Guaranteed, at least once a week. Sleeping pets are even cuter, especially when they start dreaming. All animals are cute, it can't even be denied.

You can talk to your pet about anything, I know it sounds crazy. When I'm upset or stressed out my dog can tell. He follows me around with sad eyes and wags his tail when I look at him. When I talk to him, he stands there and looks at me. I tell him about life and I feel a little better. Maybe that makes me a crazy dog lady, but I think we both like the heart-to-hearts.

When life is hard, we can always count on our four-legged friends. They're always there and willing to make you feel better. It's only right that we make sure our pets are always happy and healthy, too. Let's be honest, it's only right to be totally obsessed with our pets and spoil them to no end.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

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!
