9 Ways To Tell That You're A Dog Person

I love dogs. I can’t even tell you how much I love dogs without sounding like a crazy person. I’m the person who stops whatever I’m doing if there is a dog around so that I can pet it. Every time I see a cute dog video on Facebook, I send it to my boyfriend. And every time I go home, I can’t wait to snuggle up with my dogs on the couch. I know, this makes me crazy or whatever. But here’s the thing; dogs are compassionate, loving, and so full of personality. Which is why I identify as a dog person. There’s been this unspoken battle between dog people and cat people forever (probably). Most people have a pretty good handle on which side of the fence they’re on, but if you’re unsure then keep reading. Or, if you just love dogs as much as me and need something to relate to, also keep reading.

1. Everything you own is covered in dog hair

You have a closet full of clothes covered in hair. You’ve got a bed full of hair. You’ve got a house full of hair. But none of it fazes you. It’s just another part of having your little friends live in your house.

2. Slobber ain’t a thang

Yes, dogs drool. And yes, dogs drool on you. But so what, you can wash your hands. You’re just thankful that you’re getting one on one time with your favorite furry pal.

3. My bed is your bed

A lot of people hate letting dogs on their bed. A lot of dog people hate having dogs on their bed. I actually am one of those dog people who hates it. But, that doesn’t mean I don’t let it happen. I know how comfy my bed is, and when my little fur ball curls up in my side when I’m asleep in bed, I have zero complaints. Sheets can be washed.

4. Seeing a dog die in a movie is worse than seeing a person die

Bad guys, kill all the people you need to kill. But please, please do not kill any dogs.

5. You act tough, but you’re not

You could have seventy tattoos on your face and literally eat nails for breakfast, but the moment you see a dog, it’s over. You’re a sucker for their little smiles and loving eyes. So, keep eating nails, but I’ll throw a golden retriever puppy your way when I think it’s time for you to show some emotion.

6. You do whatever your dog wants

Your dog wants you to jump off a cliff, would you do it? Yeah.

7. Everything you own has teeth marks in it and you don’t care at all

Every dog goes through a chewy phase. So what if that happens to be my favorite shoe? Please, I want you to chew the other one because it makes you happy.

8. Their happiness is your happiness

Seeing a happy dog, makes you a happy person.

9. After everything, they're your best friend

Happy tail wagging!

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.
