There are pretty scary backstories behind why you shouldn’t buy animals from pet stores that I won’t scar you with now, but just trust me when I say that I’m very glad this hashtag is trending!
So feel free to start an Instagram account for your fur babies, but don’t let the glitz & glamour distract you, make sure to focus on the bonding & love between the two of you, rather than how famous you think they could make you! I did have this mindset at first, I won’t lie, but then I saw what was really important: loving your animal to the moon & back.
This month, with Valentines day, make sure to love up on your animals an extra amount, because they love you with their whole hearts. I read a quote about a week ago that said: To you, they may only be there for a small part of your life. But to them, you are their whole life. I’m not going to lie, it made me tear up a bit!
