Despite being the shortest month of the year, February leaves a significant impact on everyone, especially with Valentine's Day. Love it or hate it, it's here to stay. In my personal experience, the annoying reminder of my lack of a love life is relieved when I celebrate Valentine's Day with my pooch. Whether you're single, like me, or in a serious relationship, here are five things to do with your dog on Valentine's Day that doesn't involve chocolate.

1. A Jog in MacKenzie Park

What a better way to spend Valentine's Day with your pooch than to get out and play! MacKenzie Park is home to an amusement park, two golf courses, and much more. Dogs are allowed throughout the park, except in buildings. If you and Fido like to enjoy nature, you can run around the plethora of trails and playgrounds in the park.

2. My Furry Valentine Adoption and Festival at Maxey Park

Hosted by the Lubbock Parks and Recreation, My Furry Valentine Adoption is a fun way to spend some time with your dog in a fun, dog-friendly environment. They're even hosting an adoption event for those of you who want to find your furry soulmate. If you're not interested in adopting, go to the doggy kissing booth and the paw readings to see your dog's future!

3. A Shopping Spree

I'll admit that I'm guilty when it comes to spoiling my dog rotten and any other dog owner will admit it too. Treat your dog to a fun shopping day at one of the two Petsmart locations where they can meet other dogs and get a fun toy too! If your dog isn't much of a toy person, Three Dog Bakery offers a wide variety of dog-friendly cookies and cakes.

4. Field Trip to Palo Duro Canyon

Palo Duro Canyon is the shining jewel of West Texas and one of the few, non-alcoholic things you can do out here. Even better is that they're pet-friendly , as long as Fido's on a leash and you pick up after them. There are tons of great hiking trails for you and your dog to explore and maybe some other dogs to meet too. To make it even more fun, invite your friends and their dogs and make it a picnic!

5. Movie Night at Stars and Stripes Drive-In

Do you want to see 50 Shades Darker, but don't want to leave your fur-baby at home? Then go to the Stars and Stripes Drive-In and catch a flick! Your dog is allowed in as long as it's in the car or on a leash . You can even share some chicken strips and popcorn!

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.

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.
