Remember how life was before you became a pet parent? Now, you are enjoying some of the best years of your life with your furry companion and can’t imagine life without them.
Pet parents are a unique bunch. Something happens when you bring home a new furry, four-legged member to your family–you start developing strange and inexplicable traits that directly correlate to the cuteness of your pet.
In honor of May being Responsible Animal Guardian Month, here are a few fascinating traits of truly loving companion animal guardians:
– 70% of people sign their pet’s name on a greeting card.
– You look like your pet in a photo and it’s not on purpose.
– 78% imagine what their pets would say and speak for them (Guilty!).
– You talk about your “kids.”
– 97% believe their pets understand them.
– You share your space–including that cushion on the couch because you don’t want to make them move.
– 58% include their pets in formal family photographs.
– You take the day off to care for an ailing pet.
Don’t feel bad if you’ve recently adopted and started doing some out-of-the-ordinary things! We totally get you and whole-heartedly welcome you to the club!
