13 Reasons Why Schnauzers Are The Best Dogs.
Julia Stein

Schnauzers, they are the cuddlers, the protectors (even if it’s protection from the plastic bag two streets away), the part human, part dog mix, and the most lovable creatures. I may be biased because I live with two Schnauzer puppies, but I wouldn’t trade them for the world. These dogs have such a unique personality, and look, that makes them so special. Here are just some reasons why I love them.

1. They Are Hypoallergenic!

Having a brother that is allergic to dogs, it was so important to my family to find a dog that would be able to be a part of the family. Schnauzers have a thick fur that usually mats, which causes them not to shed, perfect for families that have children with allergies!

2. Beards. Beards. Beards.

If there was ever a “Best dog beard” contest, your Schnauzer would win. The beard envy is real with Schnauzers. No matter how much food gets stuck in that beard, it will still be the cutest thing and you will never say no to the doggy kisses.

3. The Tails...

Their little stubby tails are the cutest things. No other words needed, Just look at how dang cute!

4. Cuddles!

I never have to worry about not getting affection. Schnauzers just want love and affection, and I have no problem giving it to them. When my Schnauzers were little they would climb right up onto my neck and shoulder and fall asleep, it was the best.

5. Nose & Whiskers.

The wet little nose, and the few little pieces of hair that move when they breathe, that alone will melt my heart. Puppy noses are the best noses, no matter what the breed. (Schnauzers are still the best though.)

6. Bed Head.

Whenever they wake up, Schnauzers are prone to having bed head, especially with those fluffy eyebrows. Their hair is gone in every direction like it’s trying to get away from their head!

7. Frog Legs?

It seems like Schnauzers have no leg bones, I don’t understand how they manage to sit in the poses they do, especially the frog legs. Either way, It’s crazy adorable!

8. They Miss You Immediately.

I will leave for eight hours, or I will walk outside to get the mail, and no matter which time I leave, the reaction to me getting back inside is the same. Schnauzers will miss you so much, and are so excited to see you whenever you enter the room.

9. They Are As Playful As They Come.

Whether were playing ball, relaxing, or cleaning up the house. Schnauzers will ALWAYS find a way to play. Even if it means making you chase that piece of paper towel they took out of the trash.

10. Getting Ignored Is Not An Option!

You will never be able to ignore your Schnauzer, they will give you kisses, paw at you, and bring you toys until you give them attention. You see videos of people’s pets not giving them attention when they want it, with Schnauzers, this is not the case!

11. You Become So Used To Barking That You’ve Just Blocked It Out.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F31%2F636187579317685558197913685_giphy%2520%287%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=152&h=b682be44de356c394a424853e188454a472f7395fe03e586a3bdb6ab8bd09284&size=980x&c=1161393142 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F31%252F636187579317685558197913685_giphy%252520%25287%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D152%26h%3Db682be44de356c394a424853e188454a472f7395fe03e586a3bdb6ab8bd09284%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1161393142%22%7D" expand=1]

Being that my Schnauzers are still puppies, their barks are so high pitched, and they do it to everything. That being because of the super sensitive ears. But, all Schnauzers love to bark, whether it be at you, the mail man, the squirrels, the plastic bag up the block, or the leaf outside the window. You just tend to block it out eventually.

12. Always Stylin’

Your Schnauzer will ALWAYS be the most stylish pup around. They’ve got a good beard, and excellent brows, they’ve got the whole look down, with the right outfit they’re practically ready for Animal Planets version of Next Top Model.

13. They Are GREAT Family Dogs.

It’s hard to find that perfect dog, especially one that fits into a big family, one that has a few people with allergies too. Schnauzers are lovable, hypoallergenic, and loyal. They will love anyone that loves them and that makes them great pets, they fit into our family great, and I’m sure they’ll fit into yours!

Scarred

One of the darkest moments in my family's life.

Scarred
Huffington Post

I knew this day was coming when my mother’s decided to get spinal surgery. February 20, was the date her surgery was set. It was a normal day in school when I received the message of a lifetime. My oldest sibling telling me our mother’s surgery went wrong. Imagining what could possibly go wrong made my eyes water. Felt like I was the only person on my bus. Everything was silence and my mind was racing. There was never a positive thought in my head. Taking the last step off the bus and the first step onto the porch, everything was real.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.
