Like my father before me I take pictures of everything. My entire childhood is meticulously documented in videos and photos and stored on an external hard drive. When my pets have died in the past I would have to search through all of my pictures and manually add the 2,000-3,000 photos I had of each of them to an album.
I started a Google Photos album of Benny the day I got him. it’s nice to be able to go to it whenever I’m feeling sentimental about him and see all of the moments we’ve shared together so far (and it’s shared with my family so they can see every update as they’re added)!
