10 Reasons Why My Dog is My Best Friend
Frame Your Pet

May sound very cliche, but a lot of people say that dogs are man's best friend. In my case, this is entirely too true for many reasons. Here's why:

1. He's always there for me.

Dogs have this amazing ability to know when to comfort and when to leave someone alone. He's perfect at knowing when to be there for me and is always there when I need. He never fails to be my tissue when I cry.

2. He gives me endless snuggles.

Day or night, he loves to snuggle. Even if he doesn't want to snuggle, he still lets me squeeze him tight.

3. His happiness makes me happy.

His goofy habits, seeing him run around with friends, playing with new toys and seeing him smile make me smile.

4. He loves Cheetos and Netflix as much as I do.

He will binge watch Once Upon a Time with me and eat an entire bag of Cheetos with me, or any snack that I'm eating. He loves popcorn too.

5. He loves to go on adventures with me.

Anywhere I want to go, I just have to say, "Wanna go for a ride?" and he's all about it.

6. He takes care of me.

He is a great alarm system, vacuum, garbage disposal and Band-Aid. He lets me know when someone is here, eats all the food I drop and licks all my boo boo's.

7. He is fashionable and loves it.

A new bandanna or shirt is so exciting to him and he rocks any outfit I buy him without any complaints. He's always festive and the star of the show at family events because of it.

8. My retail therapy shopping consists of Bark Boxes and dog toys.

Seeing him happy makes me happy and I spend more money shopping for him than I do myself. He's friends with the mail man, because chances are that package is for him.

9. He's a great listener.

Those giant ears catch everything I have to say. He never talks back, unless of course he is hungry.. He listens to my complaints and stories. He is the best at keeping secrets too.

10. He's always excited to see me, regardless of how much time we spend together.

I could leave for a minute and walk back in the door and he's super excited to see me. A minute feels like forever for him and he always greets me with hugs and tons of kisses.

Although my dog is a crazy, pain in the butt 99% of the time, he is my best friend. He never fails to make me happy or let me down.

Thank you for being my best friend, Tango.

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.
