Pets are great to write about. People can identify with the love that is shared between a pet and the pet’s human. The grief that comes with burying a pet is also an emotional memory many can feel alongside the writer. Wrapping your beloved pet rat, Olivia, in a beautiful silk scarf and then placing her in the dumpster of your apartment is probably not something many people would be able to share with me. I still remember that day, her little pink tongue sticking out of her mouth and her little curling claws. Even dead she was cute enough to kiss, though the smell ultimately stopped me from even considering it.
