How Well Do You Know Your Dog?
www.wsllpaper.com

As everyone knows, the dog is the most important animal on the planet. The loyal mammals are known for their unconditional love, loyalty, and above average sniffers. They have quite the reputation—claiming the top spot on man’s list of best friends. Those that have had the chance to own a dog can agree that of all your friends and family, your dog knows you best. There sure is a lot of things your dog does for you. I mean, of all the positives dogs provide you, what do you—dog owner—do for your dog? Feed it? Keep it inside until it’s ready to poop its nonexistent pants? Make it super uncomfortable by trying to hug it? You probably don’t know its mother’s name, or grandmother’s name or its real birth name. You don’t, do you? That’s awful, but don’t lose hope, dog owner--you aren’t the worst yet. Figure out where you fall on a scale of one to bad doggo friend by answering the remaining questions to the best of your ability.

How many teeth does your dog have?

A simple biology question, humans have a known amount, your dog should too. A good dog owner not only knows how many teeth they have, but keeps their dog’s mouth fresh and clean by brushing and flossing every morning and night. Don’t forget to mouth wash! I recommend accomplishing this by putting it in your mouth, then spitting it into your dog’s! It is a highly effective form of transportation!

What are its hopes and dreams?

Dogs are people too. They like things. They pursue what they enjoy—be it ball, disk, or stick—and won’t quit until they get it. My dog wanted to be an ecologist. I said no way! A biologist maybe, but ecology is the fool’s science and you’re no fool.

How many paws does it have?

Four hopefully.

That should be enough questions. Dogs are pretty simple really, they’re not that complicated. How many questions does this quiz even need? Dogs probably don’t even have hopes and dreams so question two is irrelevant. You can cheat too, it’s not like I know—feel free to google the answer to the teeth question before telling your dog you know its tooth quantity. And if you can count from one to maybe five you should be able to discover the paw number pretty easily. So I mean, if you know those two quantitative answers and that you shouldn’t hug your dog, you’re probably not too bad for a bad doggo owner. Solid effort.

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.
