3 Reasons Why My Dog Is My Best Friend
Katlyn Johnson

In This Article:

I have a six-month-old, Chihuahua-Jack Russell mix named Rosie. I love her so much! My dad surprised my family with her one day when he came home from his truck driving job. He told us that someone was giving away free puppies in front of the Walmart he went to. My mom was livid because she is not the biggest animal lover, but I could not have been happier because I have always wanted a dog. Rosie and I have become extremely close and I truly feel that she is my best friend. Here are a few reasons why:

1. She loves me no matter what.

My Rosie will stick by me even when I do the weirdest things. I am always singing at the top of my lungs or poorly trying to rap along to a song I am listening to and Rosie will stay right by me. She does not make fun of me, she just looks at me with those beautiful brown eyes and she gives a slight smirk.

2. She looks out for me.

Katlyn Johnson

The Jack Russel in her, causes Rosie to be very protective and the Chihauhau in her causes her to be very territorial. Rosie is always trying to protect me and my family. She barks nonstop at strangers, is ready to attack whenever the doorbell rings, and she sits guard at the front window. She may run away once approached by strangers, but she has good intentions.

3. She makes me laugh.

Katlyn Johnson

Rosie is always doing something crazy. You can look away for one second and turn around, she will be up on the kitchen table. My sister had a burrito from Taco Bell sitting on the table go missing and my family is 80% sure Rosie stole it. Not only does she climb on the table, she likes to dig through the trash and make a mess. It is aggravating because I have to clean it up, but it is just the funniest thing. Rosie is honestly so crazy. When she's outside and thirsty, she will stand up on her hind paws and drink from my mom's water fountain. The last thing that Rosie does to make me laugh is acting like a cat. I am pretty sure that has some sort of cat in her because she does things cats normally do. She scratches me in a way a cat would and she jumps on things in a fashion similar to a cat. If we put her outside, we see her sitting or standing on the very top of the furniture looking very majestic.

I love Rosie so much and I am extremely happy that she is a part of my family!

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.
