Bond of Online Friends

Hello Pals!

 

So, mamma and I were chatting about the amazing online world, in particular, Twitter^®. Mamma never believed I, being a dog, would have so many “followers”, and I have lots of them, way more than her!!! I’m not alone in this phenomenon either. It appears there are lots of anipals and furfriends that have lots and lots more followers than their own human typist. Anipals and furfriends are not limited to the many lovely dogs and cats. Nope, there are also wolves, rabbits, bunnies, bears, goats, donkeys, horses, seagulls, parrots, turtles, fish, (and others, I may have missed) and of course, humans!
 

It should not really be too much of a surprise to see all the support anipals and furfriends have for one another. Humans have it too, but it seems to be more special among the nonhuman kind. There are weekly and monthly hashtag gatherings to raise awareness for various things, like #tiaraTuesday and #wigitupWednesday. There are weddings and pawties and birthdays and other celebrations, too. There is so much love and concern found 24/7 because someone is always awake online, so if you need to chat, you can find a pal or two.
 

The most special outpouring of love and concern occurs when a pal is sick or has gone OTRB. Pawprayers and #pawcircles go out to offer comfort to those in need, whether it be from close pals or total strangers. Special remembrances take place to help memorialize our dearly departed so they are never forgotten. We are there for each other to offer comfort, love, and support the best way we can in our online world, and sometimes that is more special than in our “real world”. So, let’s raise a paw, or wing or fin or whatever you have, to our pawsome online bond of friendship! xoxo
