Dog-sitting; As Told By Dogs

The dog days of summer are not over yet.

This past weekend, I've had the privilege of dog-sitting some dogs.

Three of them.

I thought, "How hard could three doggies be?" "I love dogs."

LOL at me.

Beginning from the moment I walked in the house to pick up all three dogs, I knew this weekend was going to be interesting.

I thought I'd showcase some of the things they feel when being "babysat" for three days.

1. "WHO THE F*** ARE YOU?"

These dogs looked at me like I was criminal breaking into their precious owner's home. Luckily, they are not vicious, just annoyed.


2. "WE'RE GOING FOR A RIDE?!"

All three of the dogs love to ride in the car. Getting all three into the car at the same time? Not so easy.


3. "EXCUSE ME STRANGE LADY WHO I'VE MET SEVERAL TIMES; WHERE ARE WE GOING?"

I could feel (and smell) the anxiety coming from the back seat. I live roughly 20 minutes away, but that is like three days in dog-time.


4. "NEW HOUSE?!!!?!"

New house = new smells, new things to get into, new places to sleep, and new places to poop. Yippie.


5. "ITS FOOD-O-CLOCK!"

Don't worry, I fed the dogs the food their owners left, but the look they gave me when they didn't get some exciting meal to go with this exciting day? Priceless.


6. "WALK!?!??!?"

A quick walk around the neighborhood turns into a two hour event with three dogs.


7. EXHAUSTION

After an afternoon filled with excitement, all three dogs were down for the count by 9 p.m.



I'll admit I wasn't prepared when I signed up to watch three dogs for an entire weekend. Despite that, I got all three dogs feed and put to sleep before I was even done cooking my dinner and finishing this article.

How hard can day two be?

Love,

-A

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
