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.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
