What Did We Ever Do To Deserve Dogs?
Amanda Burton

Do you ever just look at your dog and think to yourself, "What did I ever do to deserve you?" Because same.

I strongly believe that dogs are one of Gods greatest creations for many reasons.

First off, when have they ever let you down? Anytime you come home your dog runs up to you and greats you with the most affection you've ever been shown. Your dog is never in a bad mood, anytime they hear the door open they will be more than excited to see you again. Anytime your eating your dog will be right next to you or at your feet waiting for crumbs to drop, which in my eyes is keeping you company and being a great friend.

Your dog knows when your upset or sick and will lay by your side until you are back to normal. Dogs honestly have to have a sixth sense or something because they always know when something is wrong, and always know exactly what to do to cheer you up.

And most importantly, dogs never talk back or get tired of listening to your drama every single day. Dogs will sit there and listen to you blab on and on about the rough day you had at work, or all the traffic you sat in and will not interrupt you or tell you they have had enough. I have been lucky enough to have had a childhood dog. I cannot imagine growing up without my little fluff ball puppy.

I got my dog Bailey when I was in fourth grade. He is the first dog my family and I have ever had, and although he hates me (literally bites me anytime I try to pet him) I am forever grateful to have had him in my life the past 11 years. Weird to admit but my dog has taught me many things about life.

Bailey has taught me to enjoy the little things in life. Although to him these little things are car rides, walks, or treats, he really has opened my eyes to seeing that life isn't as bad as it may seem. Every day there is something to be grateful and thankful for and it is important to find something each day that makes you feel those ways. My dog has taught me to always love unconditionally.

Dogs know how to love unconditionally and will love anyone they meet. Dogs don't care whether you are rich or poor, smart or dumb, or right or wrong. As long as we give them our hearts, they will give us theirs and love us through the good the bad and all of the in-between. I will never understand how we got so lucky with dogs, but I sure am not complaining.

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.

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.
