Five things I know my dog says I just don't hear

5 Thoughts My Dog Has Everyday
Rebecca Wright

My dog is a great dog. I often wonder what he and other dogs are thinking though. When he turns his head and gives me that quizzical half smile, I wonder, "just what is going on in his brain?" Dogs are great animals and here are four things I'm just sure they are all thinking ...maybe.

1. Feed Me


When my dog says feed me it's more than just FEED ME, it's an invitation for love. My dog will eat anything you put in front of him, but if I give him a treat, or some peanut butter or "people food" like the occasional strip of bacon, boy does he go nuts. Food, for Deacon (my dog), is more than just food, I think he's saying I love food, but especially yours!

2. Play With Me

My dog is not much for fetch or tug of war, or any other games really. What he does love is water, any water! My parents have a pond behind their house and he loves to swim in it, or jump in any puddles, or chase the water hose. Deacon loves water I think he's saying let me stay here all day and splash!

3. Pet Me

My dog loves, loves, loves to be petted. He could sit around all day in one spot as long as I had a hand on him, petting him. I think he's saying, I'm not lazy, I'm just contented to sit right here as long as you sit with me and pet me, pet me, pet me!

4. Walk Me

Deacon loves a good walk. My parents live near lots of grassy open space, so there is plenty of room for Deacon to run, jump, and play. He loves to get off his leash and just run through the woods. He sniffs everything (and I do mean everything), and splashes through ponds and puddles. I think he is saying, let me stay here forever, I love this place!

5. Love Me

My dog, "says" a lot of things, but ultimately I think he is saying, I love you. That dog never has too much on his mind, he always has time for me, and he loves me even when he does something he isn't supposed to do like chew my dad's golf shoes, or the bumper on my brother's car. Even when I brush him off or I'm preoccupied, he is with me "saying" I love you, I support you, and I'm here for you always.

I would bet all these things are things my dog thinks, at one time or another. I'm sure though that he is thinking only of what's on his mind at the moment, and is never in his head in the future or in the past. Whatever dogs are thinking I know the bottom line is I love my human and I know they love me.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
