Pet Watch

Whenever a blog I read with a prominent pet decides to do a retrospective post full of pictures of said pet throughout the years, I always freak out a little. For some reason those posts are just a little too sentimental, which I apparently automatically assume means that the pet is dead. I have to quickly scroll through to make sure the post doesn't end with something like RIP Beloved Pet 20xx-2010.

Considering I generally find pet picture posts dull, I'm a little surprised that I react so strongly. And considering I react that way every single time, I'm starting to wonder why people keep posting such faux-obituary like posts of perfectly healthy animals.

  1. This made me laugh. My mom loves her animals more than people mostly so she always talks about them as if she was a first time mother to a baby. It's kind of hilarious and ridiculous all at the same time.
