5 Thoughts My Dog Has Everyday

In This Article:

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.

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.
