Things I Learned From My Dog

1. Grandpas are even more special than you thought

For some reason dogs absolutely love grandpas. They can smell them coming from a mile away. My dog loves my grandpa more than she loves my mom (who feeds her), which I think says something.

2. Cats are evil

Cats are enemies. That's what my dog says. What she says goes.

3. Pay the most attention to those who care for you the most

My mom is the one that normally feeds my dog and gives her her medicine. She cares more for my mom than she cares about anyone else in my family. If there's anything I learned from that, it's that you should care for those who care about you, not the ones who don't put any effort in.

4. It's actually their house…. Not yours.

Furniture has been moved and gates have been put in to accommodate her. Modifications have been made to make her happy and comfortable. It's her house.

5. You deserve a treat

You have accomplished something today, even if it feels like you haven't. You deserve something that makes you happy.

6. Really tall people are a little bit scary sometimes

My dog is a little bit nervous around anyone above 6'2. Should I be scared of them too? (just kidding)

7. A smile goes a long way

Have you ever seen a dog smile? It is the most heartwarming thing ever. But that doesn't just apply to dogs, smiling humans are a happy thing too.

8. Everyone is friendly until proven otherwise

My dog is friendly to everyone she doesn't know. She wags her tail and goes up to everyone. She doesn't judge a book by its cover, so to speak, and neither should you.
