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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
