10 Things All Pet Owners Do
For better or for worse we love our pets. Even if they pee on our favorite shirt or tear up important papers, we love them. There are certain things all pet owners do that unite them, no matter what type of pet they own. Whether it's a snake, a dog, a bird, a fish, or a miniature horse, all pet owners can relate to these.

Calling their pet by their nicknames.
Pet owners have numerous nicknames for their furry friends. I call my dog Daisy, Baby Cakes, Honey Bunny, Honey, and Dais. On most occasions I call her Honey Bunny rather than Daisy. This seems to be the case for most pet owners, we rarely call them by their real name.

This isn't a reprimanding yell. We've all done it, we pick up our dog/cat/snake, hug them, and beg for their love. It is perfectly natural.

Relationships could end if they don't like your pet.
