Why My Pets Are My Best Friends

Pets are always there for you when you need them. You are a hero in their eyes.

Why My Pets Are My Best Friends
Emili Younkin

I currently have three dogs and two cats. I also have two fish but I won't include them in my ode to the animals.

This might be crazy of me to say, but every animal definitely has their own unique personality. First, there is Izzy. She is a black cocker spaniel and she loves attention. However, the puppy we have named Luna is a very jealous girl and does not like Izzy to get any attention. We have our boy dog Buddy and he is the most hyper animal in the world! He runs around as fast as possible to the point he nearly falls on his face. The two cats we have are Mischief Marie and Delia. These girls are polar opposites. Mischief is as friendly as can be and Delia is not very social. So yes, I think animals are all different personality wise.

So why are my pets my best friends? Well because they are always there. When I am having a bad day, I can count on more than one of them to give me a friendly greeting and cheer me right up. They can sense when your day has not been as great as usual. They will come over with a furry hug and kiss and let you know that they are there for you. They never ask for anything in return. You should just give them your love back in return. Taking care of them and letting them know you will never leave them is all they need. They won't ask for favors or expect anything from you. They will not go and tell your secrets. As weird as it seems, pets are the best to vent to. You can tell them anything and everything. They won't spill the beans! Pets look up to you. In their eyes you are their idol and hero. They want to always be around you because they love you. You are everything to them.

Like human best friends, they make you mad sometimes though. They may on occasion use the bathroom on the floor or rip up one of your favorite pairs of shoes, but that's alright. That doesn't change anything between you guys. You'll forgive and forget. Pets are easy to forgive too because they are so cute!

Pets are great travel buddies! Especially dogs. You can take them, if permitted, to your favorite spot and have fun with them. Here you can spend more bonding times with your bestie. Make memories that will last a lifetime. Oh, and don't forget to take a selfie!

Your pets might not always be there because sadly their lifespan is not as long as that of humans. However, those experiences will always live in your mind so the memory of your pets will always be there. No matter what you can always trust that your pets will be there for you. They can trust you will always be there for them too.

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.
