When you open your front door, who is always the first one to greet you? Your pets of course! When your feeling sad, who is always the first one to make you feel better? Your pets of course! And when you have nobody to talk to, who is always the first one that you find yourself talking out loud to? Your pets of course!

Its no secrete that pets are a huge part of our lives and without them, where would we be? Well, I have no idea because I've never not had pets. Im only 20 years old and so far I have had seven dogs, eight kitties, a bunny, and a bunch of little random critters, and I can honestly say that they have kept me sane through the many of times where I should have gone insane.

But all in all, I just want to say thank you to all of the pets that I had and currently have for always being the one's who have never let me down.
