6 Reasons Why Dogs Make Better Pets Than Cats
All The Cats

Being an animal lover, I find every animal adorable and I want to love and pet all of them. Despite loving all animals, people always get asked the question, “Are you a dog or cat person?” Generally there are cat people and there are dog people. Being the owner of three dogs and counting, I can definitely say I am a dog person. Personally I would love to have a cat as a pet, but I think that dogs make better pets than cats. Why

1. Dogs are happy

They're always in a good mood, which makes you in a good mood as well. They're always happy to see you, happy to play, happy to take a nap with you and happy about getting treats and doing a good job! They're very positive and it's adorable. Cats can be happy too, but they usually never share it.

2. Dogs know when to love you the most

Somehow when you're having a bad day, when you're sick or sad, they understandthat. They give you extra kisses and cuddles and want to make you feel better. They're even known for helping you with anxiety and stress. They know exactly how to cheer you up!

3. Dogs love to play

Yes, you can also play with cats, but it's nothing compared to playing with a dog. Theyre so enthusiastic and love to play indoors and outdoors. I know my lab loves to go crazy outdoors and run around and being me all her toys to throw around. It makes my day.

4. Dogs can protect you

Cats are usually known for not generally being protective of their owners or defensive for them. Dogs of all breeds, have a sense of protectiveness towards their owners. Dogs can even be trained and have a long history of roles like guarding, hunting, police work, and more.

5. Dogs love to play and keep us fit

Like said above, dogs love to play. Unlike cats, you can take them out for walks and runs and take them to parks and even exercise with them. They improve your general heath and keep you active.

6. Dogs are a man's best friend

Dogs are caring, loving, protective, trustworthy and much more. They become part of your family and your best friend. They love you unconditionally and you are everything to them. Dogs had become so special to humans through the years and become so close to us than any other pet.

I love cats too, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. They see us, they hear us, they heal us and most importantly they love us. Having three dogs as pets has taught me so much about friendship and love. Of course, for a lot of people cats can do these things too, they're also wonderful creatures for many reasons. It all depends on your personal opinions on different animals. So are you a dog or cat person?


Note: This post isn't meant to judge which is better. This post is oriented toward dog lovers. “There are no bad pets, only bad owners.”

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
