The 12 Days of Dogmas

My brain is a little fried from finals, as are most of my friends in college right now. So as the Christmas season comes upon us, and we will reunite with our pets, here are 12 dogs dressed in Christmas outfits. You probably need to see this right now, no matter who you are.

On the first day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

1. The Cutest Christmas Hot Dog

I mean, what is cuter than a weiner dog wearing a sweater? He looks like he has a been good boy this year. Did you know that the dachshunds were actually bred to scent and chase small animals? Who knew that despite their odd shape they were good at tracking down other creatures.


On the second day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

2. The Most Helpful American Bulldog

https://www.pexels.com/photo/animal-bulldog-candy-...

This guy is a big help, decorating the tree. American bulldogs, not to be mistaken by their cousin the English Bulldog, are actually quite agile. They were raised as catch dogs, which means they hunted large animals like hogs and cattle.


On the third day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

3. A Festive Basset Hound

This little basset hound looks sad, but I bet all those presents under the tree are going to make him happy. Although they always seem droopy because of those floppy ears, those ears have a purpose. Since basset hounds are natural scent chasers, those ears drag on the ground to help the scent get to their nose.


On the fourth day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

4. A Bernese Mountain Dog Burrito

I think this pup might be a little cold, so someone wrapped them up in a little blanket burrito. Bernese Mountain Dogs are from the Swiss Alps, and were raised as farming dogs.


On the fifth day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

5. A Good as Gold Golden Retriever

This good golden could melt anyone's heart. It's hard to resist smiling when you meet this breed. Golden Retrievers are the 4th smartest dog breed, and are often used as search dogs, therapy dogs and more.


On the sixth day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

6. A Tiny Little Frenchie

This French Bulldog puppy is looking for mischief, but how could you discipline him? French Bulldogs are quite notorious for being playful, and love to have a good time. Makes sense that this little guy is already messing around at such a young age.


On the seventh day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

7. Sledding Yorkie

https://pixabay.com/en/yorkshire-terrier-dog-chris...

This Yorkshire Terrier is ready to go sledding, or strike a pose or two. I mean look at that paw placement. Yorkies are known for once being ratters, but did you know this breed was the first to be a therapy dog? That's right, a soldier named Bill Wynne found a yorkie in a foxhole during WWII, and named it Smoky. Smoky helped crawl through pipes to run wires through, and even visited hospitals and wounded soldiers.


On the eighth day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

8. A Reindeer Husky

This reindeer is looking a little, husky? While this Siberian Husky might be dressed as a reindeer, his ancestors once herded them. Huskies were bred to be sled dogs, and carry heavy loads on sleds long distances.


On the ninth day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

9. A Pleasant Pug

https://www.flickr.com/photos/45311060

The Christmas season was too much for little pug. It's a good thing he's napping, because pugs need to watch their playtime. Because of being brachycephalic, which means their nose is pushed in more than most dogs, they need make sure that they don't overdo playtime, because it can be hard to breathe.


On the tenth day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

10. A Dashing Dalmatian

https://www.flickr.com/photos/130046591

Seeing spots? Well this Dalmatian is looking as dashing as ever. Did you know they are born white? Their spots do not show up until they get older.


On the eleventh day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

11. A Snazzy Shepherd

https://www.flickr.com/photos/153459353

This German Shepherd is quite snazzy in all the lights and garland. These guys are known to be great family pets, but also are great on the job, like being police dogs. They are dedicated to whatever they do.


On the twelfth day of Dogmas my true love gave to me:

12. A CAT?

https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-photo-of-a-gray-cat-wearing-red-star-printed-bow-tie-1663415/

Well, this is awkward. Had to put this in for the cat lovers. Merry Christmas!

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

181242

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.
