Stop What You're Doing And Watch This Puppy Livestream

What could be better than a live stream devoted entirely to puppies? Nothing. Not a damn thing. Thankfully, "Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota" (RAGOM) has one set up for us to enjoy. The streaming schedule is:

6am-9am (except Tuesdays)

1130am-1pm (except Tuesdays)

6pm-9pm

A bit of background on RAGOM: They're a nonprofit rescue organization based in Minnesota that primarily deals with golden retrievers and related breeds. They have a long list of available dogs up for adoption, and they oftentimes bring in dogs from outside of Minnesota as well. They recently helped rescue and find homes for a bunch of dogs in Turkey.

The momma dog in the stream is Patzy, a golden they rescued from a breeder's auction back in May. They found her a foster home and she gave birth to her litter a week after being brought to her foster home.

For anyone looking to adopt a dog, or even considering doing so, RAGOM is a wonderful organization to work with. I can speak from experience, as I adopted my dog Juno from them a couple of years back.

Their process is thorough and rigorous. They make sure to home their dogs to the right family, putting the dog's well being above all else. Most of their dogs have a long list of applicants looking to adopt, so finding your new friend takes a bit of proactivity.

Adopting a pet is also a great way to add a new member to the family. Older dogs typically have some sort of training (but not always, so be sure to read the dog's profile!) and the initial vet costs of vaccinations and microchipping are typically included in the adoption price.

Juno cost $300 to adopt, but she was already chipped and fully vaccinated. She even knew a few tricks! It's worth mentioning though that subsequent vet visits and updates on vaccinations aren't provided by RAGOM, but it's something a dog owner would have to do regardless.

They're also always looking for new foster parents for their dogs. As they bring in more rescues, they need good homes to help take care of them. Sometimes dogs have special needs or medical services, which RAGOM assists foster parents with providing.

Stories like Patzy's are all too common, and they rarely end happily as hers did. Thankfully, organizations like RAGOM and The Humane Society are around to help find good homes for all of those pets that need one. There are numerous other organizations that operate all over the country. Aussie Rescue Of Minnesota, Secondhand Hounds, Happy Tails Rescue, and others all come to mind.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
