As a friend to all animals, you have and will find all of these statements to apply to you, and that's OK. These things happen to most people, they're completely normal (especially for any friend of the critters).

1. The hardest question for you to answer is, “What are your favorite animals?”

“B-b- but I love all the little creatures!”

2. You probably have some sort of pet treats in your car.

Just in case.

3. You have bought treats for an animal that wasn’t even yours.

Let’s make sure I have everything on my grocery list: coffee, milk, and apples for horses I pass on the way to work; check.

4. You have that one friend who is starting to notice you are more excited to see their cat than them.

“I just don’t see your cat, as often as I see you.”

5. If your pet doesn’t like the person you’re dating, that person has gotta go.

“It’s not me, it’s you.”

6. You feel guilty leaving your baby at home.

Especially when they give you that face.

7. The hardest thing for you to do is to control yourself and not pet a service animal while he or she is working.

“Let him do his job.”

8. You have diverted your path to pet some animal.

It was totally worth it too.

9. . An apartment with a “no pet” policy is your worst nightmare.

It’s not like we needed happiness anyway.

10. You probably had a mini zoo in your home, at one point.

The ferret keeps trying to chill with the cat, the parakeet has figured out how to open it’s cage and there’s a pig running through the kitchen. Just a normal day.

11. You may have dreamed about being a veterinarian, or working on an animal sanctuary.

You still dream about that secretly.

12. You get more excited for the Puppybowl than the Superbowl.

Puppies are greater than attractive athletes

13. You have either gone noseblind to the pet odor your guests gag on, or you clean all the time; there is no in between.

14. You may have gone to work covered in pet hair.

That is why you keep a lint roller by your nightstand, in your car, and in your desk drawer.

15. You have a built a tolerance to sharp claws and teeth.

16. Nothing wakes you up faster than the sound of your buddy vomiting.

17. You have probably spent enough money in vet bills to build a mansion.

That’s OK; it is an investment in your companion.

18. They make you feel guilty for taking them to the vet.

“How dare you make sure I’m in good health.”
