8 Reasons Why Dogs Make The Best Pets

If you have dogs as pets and don't show them off then do you really have them? Some can argue cats are better pets to have, but if you're like me then you know how untrue that is. Dogs make the best pets and the best friends. I have two and take about a hundred pictures of them a day, literally. They're my best friends and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I hope you can agree too.

1. They're the best cuddle buddies.


Need someone to snuggle and watch netflix with? Just call your dogs over! They will keep you warm. Who needs a boyfriend when you have dogs to cuddle with?

2. They're excited to see you at all times.

The best part about coming home is seeing your dogs reaction, no matter if its been 10 minutes or 10 hours. I love when they jump on me and lick my face over and over again like I'm never allowed to leave them again.

3. They make you happy.

This one's an obvious one. Of course, my dogs make me happy. Whenever I'm upset all they have to do is jump on my bed and kiss my face and I already start feeling better.

4. They make you feel like a kid again.

We all catch ourselves speaking to our dogs with high-pitched voices, the only way we ever talk to them. Whenever they wanna play, we can't help but give in to their cuteness. Especially when they come over and put their ball right on our laps. Running around like a maniac with them makes me feel like a kid again (the good days.)

5. They never run out of energy.

Why is it that we get tired out easily while playing with them and they never do? Dogs could play for hours, I swear.

6. They like to eat just as much as you do.

I swear me and my dogs could eat all day.

7. They're your best friend - the one you can always talk to.

I know dogs can't respond (would be cool if they could,) but they're always there to listen to you.

8. They're the cutest!

Just look at that face! Dogs are so cute!

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.
