Looking For Fido: A Love Story
Jezebel

Dogs are super cute and every once and a while, people catch "puppy fever." If you've caught this summer disease, then here's some information to help those that are seriously thinking of buying a puppy because finding a compatible dog is hard. All dogs may go to heaven, but not all dogs are good matches for their owner. Here are some cool breeds to look into for those that want to be a dog owner in the near future.

1. Corgi

These furry, pint-size friends are highly intelligent. They have great hearing and are relatively small. They're great lap dogs and are just absolutely adorable. Corgi's live for about 12 to 14 years. They're outgoing and friendly dogs, so they're great with kids. They cone in a variety of colors and are even cuter when they're mixed with a husky.

2. German Shepherd

These little cuties are intelligent as well. They are extremely loyal and obedient. They are medium-sized dogs and adorable. They live for about nine to 13 years. They need to be brought outside for exercise on a daily basis. These puppies are more suited for people with an active lifestyle because German shepherds aren't homebodies.

3. Golden Retriever

These fluffy, golden puppies are smart, friendly and reliable. They grow to be large dogs and make a good family dog. They live for about 10 to 12 years. They live for the outdoors and need significant room to roam. Golden retrievers are kind to children and rarely exhibit aggressive behavior.

4. Scottish Terrier

These furry cuties are special dogs. They are hypoallergenic, so they're great for anyone that loves dogs but suffers from allergies. Terriers live slightly longer than most dogs. They live for about 12 to 15 years. These puppies are feisty, independent, and highly playful. They can be indoor or outdoor dogs. It just depends on the dog itself.

5. Beagle

These angelic puppies are highly intelligent and extremely gentle. They grow to be medium-sized dogs. They live for about 12 to 15 years. Unfortunately, these little cuties are not hypoallergenic. They do not shed a lot which is great for those that like a more manageable dog. They do not grow to a significant size and stay relatively small.

6. Pug

These little guys originated from China and are typically docile and playful dogs. However, they are not a very intelligent dog. It's easy to confuse them or for them to get confused. Pugs have a significant lifespan. They live for about 12 to 15 years. They come in a variety of colors. However, many pugs have some slight deformity. For the most part, pugs have tongues that are too big for their mouth.

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.
