Struggles of Being a Dog Owner

Every dog owner knows what I'm talking about.

Dogs are the greatest gift God has ever given us humans. They love you and are always happy to see you. They are big fur balls that are great for snuggling with and whom you can tell your secrets to and never be judged. I love dogs and every little thing about them, but dogs can be a handful.

Hair

There is hair EVERYWHERE! It gets all over your clothes and finds its way into your food and every other thing possible.

Lint Rollers

There never seems to be enough lint rollers in the house. They last for about two days and I can never seem to find them when I need them enough.

Walks

I love walking my dog. We both get exercise and some fresh air. However, walking your dog in the winter, when it’s below freezing out and snow is on the ground, SUCKS!

Scaredy-Cat

I don’t know if it’s just my dog or not, but my dog is afraid of everything. He’s afraid of cameras, fireworks, and backpacks so it’s hard to get him to do anything that I wan him to.

Begging

My dog begs so much! He sits next to me and puts his head on my leg and he’s just so cute that I can’t say no. I end up giving half of my food!

Smelly

MY DOG REAKS! No matter how many times I bathe him, he still smells horrible. Sometimes I don’t want to pet him so the smell doesn’t get on my hand.

Never Listening

My dog doesn’t ever listen to me. I tell him to come and he just does whatever he wants. He only ever does what he is told when there is food involved.

Even though dogs are a handful, I wouldn’t trade my dog, or my sister’s dog, or my brother’s dog for anything in the world. I love them all and I love the happiness they give me and the companionship.

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.
