Happy Tuesday, my friends! Today is the fourth anniversary of me rescuing Loki (head to my Instagram to learn more about his story) so I thought it fit perfectly with this Finding Your Happy post. I also decided to make it a little celebration! I forced the others to join, but don’t worry. No cats or dogs were harmed in the making of these photos, and treats were handed out by the handful.
As you can tell from the title, today’s post will be very unique, and all about my fur children. If crazy cat ladies annoy you or you are not an animal lover, kindly exit my website because that kind of negativity is not welcome here.
When I decided on attempting my first month long series on happiness, I just knew that I had to include a post about four legged companions. Maybe it is partially from being an only child, but I have always had a deep love for pets. I swear, there is NOTHING better than coming home from a long, hard day, and being immediately greeted by your cat or dog (or both). I know many people don’t care for cats (I used to be one of them) because they think they’re antisocial, boring and moody. We might just be lucky, but Daryl and Loki are VERY social. I often feel like I need to apologize when we have visitors because they are pretty demanding regarding attention… and treats. Sometimes the best cure for sadness is sitting with a cat on my lap. I can almost feel myself recharging. The same thing goes for Penelope. She brings so much joy and laughter into our lives everyday. We love taking her to the park, and including her in as many road trips as possible.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I know it’s a little different than normal, but my pets play a huge role in my life. When I think of finding happiness, they’re always at the top of the list.
Do you guys have any pets, and what’s something they do that makes you smile? When I first get home, Penelope taps her feet like she’s tap dancing, and talks. It’s the cutest thing ever!
All my love,
Beautiful post! I was never a pet person until I met my husband, at the time he had a one year old black cat that he had rescued. That kitty immediately became part of my life and as time went on she became our first child. Shadow was the typical cat, I just need food and attention whenever I want it. Haha she used to snuggle with us every single time we had a blanket on our lap, it was like her catnip 😹 she went through so much with us, moving in together, our wedding, our first human baby… many changes through the years and she always adapted and gave us love unconditionally. Sadly, exactly one month ago today she passed away. It was a sudden death, she seemed healthy and happy. She had a heart attack 😿 it’s been painful to grieve her but we are thankful we were able to enjoy her company and her love for almost 10 years. Love you, Meghan!
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry for your loss. She was blessed to have you guys as her family!
Awwww all those lovely fur babies. They definitely add to their human’s happiness
For sure!! 🙂
I have small furry friend. I love that no matter how bad the day has gone or how tired I feel my little Lucy greets me with that happy love you energy and it’s like a breath of renewed energy and it always puts a smile on my face. 😊
She always puts a smile on my face too!
Totally agreed
I’m a crazy dog lady! 😂 my dogs are everything. I have two yorkies! They make me so happy. I love watching my younger one run around the yard and bark under the fence at the big dogs that the neighbors have. She thinks she’s a big dog at 8 lbs and very bossy! Lol. They really are my babies and they sure are pampered !
