Why My Pets Are My Best Friends
Emili Younkin

I currently have three dogs and two cats. I also have two fish but I won't include them in my ode to the animals.

This might be crazy of me to say, but every animal definitely has their own unique personality. First, there is Izzy. She is a black cocker spaniel and she loves attention. However, the puppy we have named Luna is a very jealous girl and does not like Izzy to get any attention. We have our boy dog Buddy and he is the most hyper animal in the world! He runs around as fast as possible to the point he nearly falls on his face. The two cats we have are Mischief Marie and Delia. These girls are polar opposites. Mischief is as friendly as can be and Delia is not very social. So yes, I think animals are all different personality wise.

So why are my pets my best friends? Well because they are always there. When I am having a bad day, I can count on more than one of them to give me a friendly greeting and cheer me right up. They can sense when your day has not been as great as usual. They will come over with a furry hug and kiss and let you know that they are there for you. They never ask for anything in return. You should just give them your love back in return. Taking care of them and letting them know you will never leave them is all they need. They won't ask for favors or expect anything from you. They will not go and tell your secrets. As weird as it seems, pets are the best to vent to. You can tell them anything and everything. They won't spill the beans! Pets look up to you. In their eyes you are their idol and hero. They want to always be around you because they love you. You are everything to them.

Like human best friends, they make you mad sometimes though. They may on occasion use the bathroom on the floor or rip up one of your favorite pairs of shoes, but that's alright. That doesn't change anything between you guys. You'll forgive and forget. Pets are easy to forgive too because they are so cute!

Pets are great travel buddies! Especially dogs. You can take them, if permitted, to your favorite spot and have fun with them. Here you can spend more bonding times with your bestie. Make memories that will last a lifetime. Oh, and don't forget to take a selfie!

Your pets might not always be there because sadly their lifespan is not as long as that of humans. However, those experiences will always live in your mind so the memory of your pets will always be there. No matter what you can always trust that your pets will be there for you. They can trust you will always be there for them too.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
