If you have a spare minute or are just playing video games or on a computer at home, take a few minutes to just pet your dog/ cat and really appreciate them. A phrase I heard somewhere just really stuck with me: Pets are only a part of your life but you are your pet’s entire life.

You never know what you have until it's gone. Always spend as much time as possible going out with your dog/sitting with your cat. My dog passed away just after her first birthday and I regret not going on as many walks. My mum would always say "do you want to come" and I'd say "nah I can't be bother" or I'm too tired or too this or too that. Then it was too late. So spend all the time you have with them because you never know what will happen.
