10 Things Dogs Do That Only Dog Parents Will Understand

In This Article:

Those of us who have dogs know that they can be super weird. The best part is that a lot of dogs have the same weirdness that make them so special to their parents. Here is a list of strange and adorable things our dogs do that are both hilarious and annoying.

1. Zoomies. In the house.

For whatever reason, our beloved companions cannot release energy outside where it is safer to do so, but insist on running full speed around the house, over the furniture, over you, etc.

2. The street cleaner. In the house.

While it looks hilarious, we know that we will never lay on that rug again.

3. Screaming to come in or go out.

This is one of their only ways to communicate with you, so obviously they're going to do it - at night, when you're sleeping.

4. Watching you use the bathroom.

There's something about small rooms with only one door that drives dogs nuts and makes them want to sit and stare at you. Better yet, when they want you to pet them.

5. Sleeping on top of you.

Yes, you bought them a new bed. Yes, they have their blankets. Yes, they're still going to want to sleep on your bed with you. And yes, its going to be on your head.

6. The adorable but loud snoring.

"Seriously? First you're going to sleep on my head, and then snore?"

7. Eat gross things...then give you kisses.

Congratulations! A sweet moment between you and your dog was ruined by the neighbor dog's poop from yesterday.

8. Demand pats while you're driving.

It doesn't matter if you're navigating a two lane double roundabout, they want their butt scratched NOW!

9. Complain about the weather.

No one wants to go out when its 20 below and snowing sideways, but especially not your dog - he'd just rather poop in the house.

10. Almost kill you with their farts.

It doesn't matter that you've been giving them the same food for 4 years, they're going to find something outside that makes them gassy and eat that instead.

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.
