The 10 Things That Make You a Dog Owner
Sophia Camaya

Do you have a dog? Well, I think you can relate to these little points. There is no limit on how much we love our dogs. They are literally our child or our furry sibling, and there is no way I can describe the bond between an owner and their dog. It is an indescribable love, but what makes a dog owner? Is it the amount of time we spend talking about our dogs that classifies us as a dog over? Sometimes it is hard to not talk about our dog because we want the world to know about them. We are dog owners and here are some tell tale signs that show that you are a dog owner.

1. When 50 percent of your pictures on your phone are of your dog. Okay, fine, more like 90 percent.

There is no limit on how many pictures we can take of them. I'm positive 100 of the 300 pictures I have on my phone are of my dog.

2. When your phone's wallpaper is a picture of your dog.

I can't resist pressing the home button during class to see a picture of my dog. It makes me feel excited to go home because I'll go see her.

3. When you have bumper stickers on your car that say, "Who Rescued Who," or, "I Love My Beagle."

I see cars with "My dog supports the Navy" or "My Dog Rescued Me". My car has one that says "Dog Mom".

4. When your go-to item before you leave your house is your lint roller.


Black clothes are never ever safe from a dog. You'll be petting them one minute and finding a mass of hair clinging to your black leggings.

5. When your favorite day is Take-Your-Dog-to-Work Day.

Whether it's to the office or the barn you work at, your dog is always there sniffing everything in sight.

6. When your dog is the most fashionable pooch on the block.

Admit it, you buy your dog seasonal collars, raincoats and cute winter coats.

7. When your friend gives you a mug that says, "Be the person your dog thinks you are."

Sometimes this mug makes me think about the person I've become since I have my dog with me. I often feel like a completely better person.

8. When you talk to your dog as though they could talk back.

It's totally normal to tell your dog how your day way, if your crush talked to you, or if something happened today. Best thing is that they never judge you.

9. Whatever you do outside of the house, your dog is usually right there with you.

Hiking, biking, boating or swimming? Yup, your dog is right beside you on those adventures.

10. When you call your dog your baby or furry child.

Whether it's pumpkin, babe, baby, or munchkin, it's normal to call your dog different cute names like those, right? Yeah, it's normal.

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.
