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.
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.
