5 Things You Know If You're A Dog Person
Erika Horton

These days, everything under the sun seems to have a dedicated day of the year... pancakes, ice cream, siblings, cats, and my favorite - dogs! "National Dog Day" was Friday, August 26, and all of my social media filled with people posting pictures of their dogs and expressing how much they loved them. (My news feed had a parade of fluffy dog pictures, and it was great.)

However, someone also posted the occasional cat picture because someone always has to be that person. (Cats have a day, too, so let us dog people do our thing!)

I could just fill this article with pictures of fuzzy, cuddly, balls of love, but I guess I will also write a little something... so here are 5 things you know if you're a dog person.

1. You probably love all animals, but dogs will always be your number 1.

Seriously, what could be better than this tiny puppy playing with a tiny pumpkin? Nothing. The answer is absolutely nothing.

(Be still myheart.)

2. Adoption days are your kryptonite.

Imagine being out buying dog food for the other 72 dogs you already have, and then Petco has an adoption event going on.

(Could you resist taking this guy home? I mean, look at that face!)

3. You change the channel every time those Sarah McLachlan/ASPCA commercials are on TV.


Ruins your whole day and probably makes you cry real tears. Those poor puppies!

4. You feel dirty every time you pet a cat.

Cats are cute, and sometimes, you can't help but give them a good scratch behind the ears, but you always feel like you're betraying man's best friend.

(Make sure to wash off the cat stench before you get home. Fido will be upset with you if you don't.)

5. Every time you see a dog in public, you want to be its best friend.

Seriously, let me love you!

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.

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.

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.
