If My Dog Could Talk

I think she’d have some sass.

I think just about everybody would love to be able to hear dogs’ thoughts. They are around you 24/7, watching and supporting you silently... or are they? Here are some thoughts I know are running through my dog’s head.

1. “You’re on that little screen... again?”

My dog gets super frustrated when I’m looking at my phone, and not paying her the attention she deserves.

2. “If you talk about another dog ONE MORE TIME...”

She gets crazy jealous, too.

3. “Oh yeah, sure, the dog food I have eaten the past 5,987 days sounds great. Thanks for asking.”

My grandpa always used to say how boring eating the same food every day would be... sorry, Bailey.

4. “What’s the most inconvenient time I can ask to go out? You know, just to keep things interesting.”

Never fails-right when my family sits down to eat, she’s got to go out.

5. “I don’t know why she’s crying, but it’s making me really sad, too.”

My dog is always right by my side when I’m down. (I think she’s probably mostly in it for the salty tears, but I know she’s very sensitive, too.)

6. “Okay, really? You’re crying again? I just fixed that!! Must I do everything around here??”

But she’s going to help out again anyway!

7. “Wow, these people are lazy. Guess if you can’t beat them, join them.”

She’s getting older, but really, I think I’ve just been a bad influence on her. Sleeping is her favorite thing to do.

8. “I mean, is the baby talk really necessary? I’m like 56 in dog years.”

I guess I’ll give her that one...

9. “You’ve been gone for years!! I missed you so much!!”

...after I’ve been gone for 20 minutes.

10. “Just let that squirrel try to come in. He’ll see.”

To her, squirrels are enemy #1. And really any other non-threatening object or creature.

11. “Poor, stupid, gullible humans.”

...after we feed all the squirrels and birds outside.

12. “I’m so sorry! It was all my fault!”

Anytime we accidentally step on her tail or bump into her, she immediately rolls on her belly, convinced she did something to spark our anger.

13. “I have seriously got. It. Made.”

...as she sees us stressed to the max, staying up late working, dragging ourselves out of bed, crying frustrated tears, replaying drama and to-do lists in our heads. But she works hard, too. She’s the rock of the family.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
