An Appreciation Letter To My Pets
Ryan McGuire

I have got two dogs and two cats and I love them all beyond anything. I am slightly biased towards one of the cats but that is because she has latched on to me and become my right-hand man in a sense.

They have all come at different stages of my life but I love them all the same. They all have their own personality, their own way of showing love, and their own way of being there for each other. Of course, I will include pictures, what kind of sappy pet article would it be without pictures? They are more than just pets, they are family.

Tess is the first of the bunch and she came around in 2005, a year after my first pup passed away. A purebred Tibetan Spaniel. The adorable apple head and soft ears give her that special look. She doesn't have the biggest personality but she is loyal and acts as a mom to the rest, even the cats. She is my dad's dog the most and refuses to be without him.

The next in line is Emma Blu, a purebred Ragdoll cat. The fluffiest fur and the bluest eyes you will ever see. Her personality balances out all the poof. She loves to be held like a baby and cuddled until she almost suffocates you. Also enjoys toilet water but is so fat she has to hang herself over the toilet.

She now belongs to my little brother and I am glad because now that he is a fifth grader like I was when we got her, her cuddles will come in handy. got her around 2008 on my birthday. My mom and Oma had to drive all the way to Chicago in a snowstorm to get her. The two know that they run that house given they been there the longest.

The next two came much later during 2013 and 2015 due to my persuasion skills. It all started with Nina. A rescue mom left over sitting in her box at Pet Smart. I bugged my mom to at least see the cat. She did. A week later, Nina came home with us.

Nina was only one to two years old when we got her but she had babies and everyone adopted them but not her. I knew when I saw her, she would be mine. A Tabby with gorgeous markings, her personality is that of a kitten and mom all mixed in one. She is by my side no matter what and shows her unconditional love. She enjoys eating catnip leaves.

Last but not least, we have Augustus (Auggie), the first boy of the bunch, the unknown breed. A rescue as well, he has Pomeranian and in my opinion, Border Collie in him. He loves everyone he meets, wants the attention from all the ladies at the park, and looks good in a red sweater. He knows when we are sick and won't leave our side.

These animals are my everything and I have no idea what I would do without them. As any pet owner would say, it is an amazing feeling to come home to them after a long day. The unconditional love you have for them and they have for you is a bond that cannot be broken. Through all the good and all the bad, they are the constant. Each has their own personality and perks that makes them each special. Thank you for being the best and nothing less.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
