When Your Dog Is Your True Bestfriend

Because our four-legged babies are just as important.

When Your Dog Is Your True Bestfriend
Eliza Sawyers

The cliche saying is that diamonds are a girl's best friend. I don't know about you, but I'm not a huge fan of diamonds. Oh sure, one day I'd love to have a beautiful engagement ring, but that day isn't today. I would much rather slumber with my four-legged besties under a blanket than wear thousands of dollars around my neck.

1. Endless Love

Dogs are known for loving their owners more than themselves. Let's be honest, where else could you find that kind of affection? They have very kind hearts and revolve their whole world around you! Well...you and the occasional squirrel. The kisses and snuggles are just an extra bonus.

2. Dieting Motivators

You and your little buddy can inspire each other to work out and maintain diets. You should both probably stay away from those cupcakes. If they can't eat sweets, why should you? But hey, if you both want to stop for a treat after that walk around the neighborhood, no one is judging you.

3. Always Welcome

Who else would be so excited to see you when you first walk through the door? If you ever come home feeling upset or discouraged, your buddy will be sure to turn your mood around.

4. Twinning

Selfies are never an issue, unless your pet is playing or won't stand still long enough. But perfecting those perfect doggy pictures are more Facebook worthy than many pictures people post. They are always looking their best, even with #allnatural and #nofilter. I mean, dogs are already cute enough.

Plus, if you're lucky, he may be able to go fetch the selfie stick.

5. Good Mornings

You'll never have to worry about oversleeping from hitting SNOOZE repeatedly. As you have your very own enforcing alarm who makes sure you are out of bed, bright and early. Oh, it's your day off? Well that's okay, that means more time to take your furry friend on a walk and to go play. Just because you want to sleep in doesn't mean he's going to let you.

6. No Boundaries

Who needs a boo when you have a dog? They are your number one snuggle buddy, whether its while watching a movie, a celebratory hug, a shoulder to cry on, or just laying in bed. (Just imagine: If you had 20 dogs, you could be submersed in a pile of dogs. That's my life goal.)

7. Realizing Your Dog is Literally YOU


Do you ever sit back and ponder why your dog has certain mannerisms? It's all because of you, human! You two are drawn to each other due to your similar personalities.

If you're anything like me, you probably wish your pup spoke English. Because if they did, I'd be perfectly content with never socializing with other human beings ever again.

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.
