10 Unique Things You Know To Be True If You Own A Small Dog

Throughout my entire life, I have owned small dogs, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. These furry little guys are the best type of companions, but they seem to face a lot of heat from individuals who own bigger, and more dominating pets.

My small, less than 20 lb babies may be pampered; they don't like jumping in the water, they get tired from walking too far, and maybe they sleep all day. But I can assure you; they are just as much as considered as a "real dog" than anything else.

1. They can physically fit anywhere and everywhere

I have found my little guy sprawled in between cabinets, hidden deep inside laundry baskets piled with clothes, and maybe we have attempted to fit him on a shelf in the refrigerator. (If you were wondering, he fit). If this isn't entertaining to you, I don't really know what is.

2. They find every way possible to cuddle up next to you

At times I find my little guy climbing and plopping down my shoulder, across my head, and right underneath my armpit. And yes, it is still incredibly cute, cuddly, and comfortable.

3. Walking them is super easy, even if they get tired too fast

These tiny pups ain't pulling me ANYWHERE

4. Not to mention... smaller poops

Lets just face it, do you like picking up large dog poops? Didn't think so!

5. You can easily carry them with one arm and immediately feel 10x better

Throw on a cute outfit, carry your dog, take a good look in the mirror, and tell me you don't feel immediately cuter and ready to take on the world.

6. They know EXACTLY when something is wrong, and can fix anything with those tiny puppy kisses

All we really need in life is for our dogs to kiss and hug away all our problems... right?

7. For all those people allergic to dog hair, these little guys are most likely hypoallergenic

8. Small pups are so much easier to transport

Car rides might seem a bit scary for these little guys, but someone in the passenger seat can easily hold onto them during any trip! They'll most likely fall asleep on your lap due to all the excitement of getting in the car anyways.

9. Tiny dog food is a lot cheaper than bigger dog food, just saying!

Smaller dogs may have stricter diets with what they can and can't eat, but it is definitely a lot cheaper! One large bag of dog kibble could easily last you months at a time rather than a new bag every few weeks.

10. They might be small, but they have huge hearts

How is it possible for such a small dog to have contain so much love!?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
