My Dogs and I

Who said animals could not be your best friends?

My Dogs and I
Cheniliz Lopez

Rusty was my best friend and will always be my best friend even if he is no longer here with us. Even though he is gone, I still have three other wonderful dogs that are always happy to see me just like he was. Rex is the oldest, then Rio and then baby Rambo is the youngest. Just so you all can now who is who, Rex is a Maltese/poodle mix, Rio is a Yorkshire/terrier mix and finally, Rambo is a Chihuahua/terrier mix. Even though they all have different personalities, they all get along really well and are always playing with one another which warms my heart.

Rusty would always be next to me and when I needed to vent about something, he was there. That was our thing. That was how he would make me feel better about different situations I would have in my life. Whenever I was finished venting, he would rest his head on my leg and just look at me like if he saying “Cheni, it’s okay.” Rusty used to enjoy chasing birds all over the back yard and he looked so funny doing so because it was impossible to catch any of them. Whenever he would do this, it would make me laugh so much until my stomach started hurting.

Just like Rusty would listen to me always, Rex does so as well. He will usually sit next to me on the couch while I am busy doing homework or watching TV. If I get up to do something around the house, he will get up as well and follow me around to make sure I am not leaving him. He is around 15 pounds and although he is not so small, he gets scared of a lot of things. If he hears a strange noise, he will go hide under the table like if it were to protect him and it is so adorable.

Rio is a bit different than Rusty because he usually does not like to sit next to me because he prefers my dad over me. He likes to do his own thing, be on his own and loves to bark. Loves to bark. He also enjoys chewing on everything he can get his mouth on and enjoys going for a quick swim. When I see him swim, I feel so much joy and happiness.

Last but not least, Rambo, the baby of the family. My puppy is the cutest thing ever. He loves to run and chase his two older brothers and enjoys to bite their ears. He also happens to jump and chase after me when I get home after a long day of not being home. Rambo also enjoys to give lots of kisses and likes to be the center of attention whenever he meets new people.

My dogs are one in a million and I would never trade them for anything.

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.
