11 Things We Should Thank Our Dogs For
Jessica Leonardis

To every dog out there, this article is dedicated to you. It's the least we can do since you have dedicated so much of your lives to us already. If only us humans could follow your paw prints, the world would be a better place. With that being said, we have a lot to thank our fuzzy friends for.

1. Thank you for your loyalty.

For all you humans out there, remember this and take this into consideration please.

2. Thank you for being my best friend.

3. Thank you for always being down to snuggle and cuddle.


Who needs a significant other when you always have your dog to watch Netflix and chill with?

4. Thank you for eating the leftovers on my plate when I was too full or was not the biggest fan of that meal.

5. Thank you for always being so excited to see me when I got home, even if I went to the store to run a quick errand or if it was a bit longer.

You always know how to make me smile and feel so welcomed.

6. Thank you for always staying up late to make sure I got home okay.

I could always count on you being there when I opened the door and see you running down the steps to greet me.

7. Thank you for always being down to go on adventures with me.


Even if you weren't up for it, you'd still suck it up and go to please me, even though you know I love you no matter what.

8. Thank you for always being there for me.

You just knew when something was wrong and I thank you for being there for me when that happened.

9. Thank you for always being so happy.


The level of happiness that you bring into my life is incredible and can't ever be replaced. I don't think I have ever seen you not smiling now that I think about it.

10. Thank you for the unconditional love you provide.


If only humans could learn something from this.

11. And most importantly, thank you for growing up with me.


To our fuzzy friends, thank you for everything you have done for us. You provide our lives with incredible and ever-lasting memories. You should be given awards for all you do for us, but I guess treats, hugs, and kisses will work out just fine for now. If you do not have a dog, hopefully this article influenced you to go adopt one because honestly, your life is not complete without them. Oh and one more thing, if you're that owner that dropped their dog off in the middle of nowhere and left them there, I hope you go f*** yourself. Anyway, go adopt a dog today! There are so many dogs that are looking for homes and I promise you, it will be the best decision you have ever made.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
