So far in my life I have only had two cats, two birds, and fish as pets. I was born into having a cat as a pet, and therefore grew up having pets my entire life. I believe that I first realized my love of animals when I was about five years old, proclaiming that I wanted to be an "animal doctor." As I grew up though I changed what I wanted to be a few times, but ultimately I came right back to wanting to be a veterinarian. Now that I am older I realize why I have such a love for animals.
Animals have unconditional love, so no matter what happens to you in life they will be there for you. They're a companion that will never judge you or leave your side. If you're having a bad day you can come home and hug your pet and you will most likely feel a lot better. There is something about their soft fur, the pur of a cat or a pant of a dog, how relaxed or happy they look, and that warm, friendly pet smell that they have that can put you at ease no matter what situation you are in. Even if you are in a happy mood, a pet will be there to cuddle or play with you. Pets are like mind readers, they always seem to know what mood you are in!
Even animals in general -zoo animals, wild animals, pictures of animals- can be stimulating and comforting. Animals can make you feel as if they weight of the world has been taken off of your chest. Or, in the case a pet gets hurt, or worse, they can make you feel as if there has been a weight put on your chest. Animals can make us feel all sorts of emotions and they are there for us no matter what. That is why I love them so much!
fun layout you used for your blog...I liked your description though you could have used another metaphor and a couple of similes. You did use a lot of the senses in your description.
