Dear (Insert Furry Friend's Name Here)

All the things we wonder when we see our dogs...

Dear (Insert Furry Friend's Name Here)
Alyssa Wenstrom

Thanks for being my number one cuddle buddy! There's nothing better than coming home and being greeted by you. I love walking into my room and finding you on my bed or lying down on the couch and being joined by you. I envy all of the free time you have to just lay around and make people smile!

I hope your treats have been good lately. I love spoiling you with treats and not telling Mom and Dad. What do they taste like? They don't smell as great as you make them out to be. And what's the deal with that "doggy ice cream" you always eat on birthdays? Does it taste like the vanilla ice cream you've probably licked off of the floor when you're sniffing around during dessert time?

Why is it that we used to buy you so many toys when you're really just infatuated with your one favorite? I know everyone has a favorite toy, but they still play with there other ones! What even attracted you to that slinky, stretchy "Pup" toy? We've bought you so many other cool toys, like that Darth Vader plush!

When you seem to be barking at nothing, what are you actually barking at? I don't see any dogs, there are no people, and it's relatively quiet out there, so I'm relatively confused. Also, when you yelp in pain but are fine to run across the house for a treat, is it more of a cry for attention that it is in pain? You're quite confusing at times.

I want to thank you for being the best listener I've ever met, though. Sometimes, I have to lock you in my room to get you to listen, but for the most part once I grab your ear, you'll stick around. You give the best kisses after a long day, and sometimes to just curl up with you is all I need.

You never fail to fill our home with laughter. It seems that all of the tricks we've taught you have blurred together. For instance, when we say "shake," your immediate instinct is to throw your head down, lay there, and half roll over. I guess you know you're getting a treat either way. You're always doing something of interest, whether it's running laps around the house, digging at the carpet for no reason, or even just lying around looking cute.

You rock your bandanas and neck-ties, by the way. Your fashion sense is impeccable. Tell whoever picks them out to keep up the good work!

With much love,

Your very grateful owner

My Jack Russell Terrier, Anakin

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.
