4 Reasons Co-Sleeping with your dog is a good thing.

Dogs are the most dedicated creatures that have come to us, they are loyal, loving, and they are always learning.

As a dog mom myself, waking up in the morning with a 60 pound beast curled up right next to me, is always a heartwarming feeling. Animals are sensitive to emotions, that being said, if a dog is willing and ABLE to sleep next to you in bed, must mean the connection between the dog owner and the dog in question is a healthy one, so ROCK ON!

However there are always people that do not understand the feeling, and so here are 4 reasons why letting the dog on the bed is a good thing.

Dogs are warm! They cuddle close and keep you warm, which helps with the heat bills. Why pay an extra 20 dollars a month when you can have your own personal heater every night.

Dogs are protective! To have a dog is to know that if there ever comes a need, your dog will have your back. And intruders tend to stay away from the dog, which would be you as well.

Dogs offer great emotional support! Dogs have a sense when their owner is feeling a little different, and they usually find a way to remind their owner that they are not alone. Just letting the dog sleep in the bed allows for an overall sense of peace in owner and dog.

Your dog won't judge you! Your dog loves you and understands that you are who you are, they won't judge you for what you do in your sleep. Whether you snore, talk, or sleepwalk; your dog will love you either way.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
