for the love of dogs
dogvacay.com

It all started when I was very little. My love of dogs has been with me as long as I can remember as I've grown up with dogs almost my whole life. When I was little I had two terrier mixes Millie and Stella. They were my first love and ever since then. Dogs were my favorite thing. When I was in elementary school dogs were my whole life and took over almost every aspect of my young life. It became so intense that a lot of my teachers, aides, and other helpers wanted me to tone down my love for dogs. Which I took to mean that I should stop loving dogs completely because I couldn't understand why everyone told me to talk about things other than dogs.

(We'd later found out my intense love of dogs was one of my special interests due to being on the higher end of the Autism Spectrum.)

Even though it took a lot of practice and hard work I learned how to love dogs and other things. That not everyone likes dogs like me and that's ok. I still have a love for dogs but I've learned to like other things too. The dog I have currently Molly is a 6-year-old Wheaton terrier bichon frise mix and she is Awesome. She loves everyone she meets except the mailman. She loves my bed and I constantly joke that if it wasn't my bed it be hers. She is crazy hyper and can run faster than a greyhound. Molly loves car rides, treats, playing in the backyard and watching and barking at animals on tv. She's crazy but we love her. She smiles sometimes and it's so cute. We got Molly from my friend's grandparents a few years ago and she's been with us ever since. My love of dogs will always be with me no matter what my dream dogs are GSDs, Greyhounds, and Beagles but especially German shepherds. Dogs are great family pets and workers.

I believe that dogs are truly special no matter what kind of dog it is or where it came from all dogs matter and deserve a good home. When I'm an adult I hope to support rescue organizations and shelters that help strays.

One quote I always try to remember as a dog lover is this. "Dogs are not our whole lives but they make our lives whole." Roger Caras. Dogs are amazingly beautiful creatures and we as humans can learn a lot from them and being loved by a dog is a wonderful feeling and loving dogs is just as great. I have learned a lot from dogs and I hope other people can do the same.

Dogs have been around for millions of years and they have been by human sides ever since. They guard, herd, assist and lots of other jobs that better fit for them than humans.

They help save lost children and provide comfort for lonely people. They are super important and helpful to humanity. They make people happier, feel safer, etc. they've even gone to war with us. Dogs are amazing and they can become in tune with owner emotions and are great companions. Dogs mean the world to me and have been a huge part of my life. I don't know what we would do without dogs.

They make a life for humans so much better and fun and make things less lonely for people who live on their own like people with disabilities or seniors. Dogs have been around for thousands of years making people's lives better. There are even health benefits to owning a dog. Dogs can teach us a lot about how we humans should be acting around one another. Dogs can teach us a lot about ourselves as a society. If that isn't a good lesson I don't know what is.

Dogs are amazingly beautiful creatures and we as humans can learn a lot from them and being loved by a dog is a wonderful feeling and loving dogs is just as great. I have learned a lot from dogs and I hope other people can do the same.

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.
