If you're like me, you can say with a happy heart that animals are one way to brighten anyone's day. No matter what kind, they have a way of making a smile just a bit bigger, a conversation a little lighter, and an overall peaceful state of mind. But just how much of an animal lover are you? Take a look at these 13 signs.
1. Camera savvy. Your camera roll is filled with more photos of animals and pets than humans.
2. Bed buddies. You never hesitate to share the bed, even if it leaves you cramped and extremely uncomfortable – more snuggles and extra warmth makes for a happier you. You also apologize if you have to move them just a tad.
3. Safety first? Forever risking your own life for animals that dart across the highway.
4. "Hi, can I pet your dog?" Making a beeline for dog-walkers and spending an absurd amount of time loving their furry friends.
5. Making sacrifices. Slobbery kisses are completely acceptable, and fur on every article of your clothing isn’t noticeable at this point.
6. An animal picture a day keeps the worries away. When you constantly share, retweet, and upload cute animal posts on social media.
7. In the arms of the angel... Every ASPCA commercial leaves you in tears and inevitable heartbreak. Thank you Sarah McLachlan.
8. You've got a friend in me. Making long-lasting friendships by bonding over your animal obsession.
9. Rescue squad. You’ve taken in at least one abandoned or injured animal from the wilderness.
10. Hopeless attachments. You named that said animal, and treated it as if it were your own child.
11. Feeling blue. Vacationing and college life becomes difficult to enjoy because you miss your pets dearly.
12. Good things come to those who scroll. You get sucked in to watching animal videos and gifs for hours on end.
13. The ultimate question. Deciding on your favorite animal is simply impossible.
