Pets Are Family Too

 

Do you have a pet? A cuddly creature such as a dog, cat, or bunny (or maybe something not so cuddly like a snake or a fish)? Either way, you most likely love your little pet as much as if it were your child. You love snuggling with him or her and taking them outside to play, or maybe just running around the house. Either way, they are part of your family.

I have 4 (!) cats and 2 dogs. 

My dog, Luke, passed away this spring, and it was incredibly difficult. He had been a part of my life and our family for so many years, and then one day he was gone. It definitely took a toll on me. 

My dog Hitch is almost twelve years old, and he has a tumor on his neck. There really is nothing that can be done for him, so I am just enjoying him every day. I love him, give him treats, take him for walks, and just give him all the attention I can, so his last days, weeks, and months are happy ones.

Pets are truly special. If you have never owned a pet before, it may be hard for you to understand just how special they are and what they end up meaning to you. So saying they are like your child is a good way, for those of you who are petless, to understand what they mean to us animal lovers. If you're thinking about getting a dog or cat (or a snake or fish), but you're not sure if you will like it, do it. You won't regret your decision, and you may even end up with a little friend who fits right into your home and family.
