To my dog as you search for your new human(s)

75

You were originally a outdoor pup, spending the first 6 months of your life on a farm chasing cattle, but your owners no longer wanted you. I got you 7 months ago as a 6 month old puppy. The person who brought you to me had only the best of intentions, but you were not meant to be mine.

You needed to be outside running, playing, doing what working dogs do, you needed a job. With humans that work all day, you got bored and hated being in your crate for long periods, and I hated that for you. You deserve a home where you can run and be free and do whatever it is that you feel like doing.

You're an amazing dog, so smart, even though you don't show it. You would rather run around and be goofy, or jump up on me and lick my face. You prefer not to be too serious, life's too short to be serous all the time, right?

You're so sweet, all of the time. You loved to come up to me and sit at my feet and stare at me with those big brown eyes, as if I was your whole world. You aren't a cuddling type dog because you always like to be on the move, but you'll never say not to some head scratches and belly rubs. Your favorite place to be scratched it right between your eyes and the bridge of your nose, it's also the only thing that gets you to sit still.

I hope your new family loves you as much as I do and cherishes you every day; you're the best girl and deserve only the best.

To my dogs new human(s),

Love her unconditionally and don't get mad at her. She's always been really timid and we don't know how her life was before us. She's an amazing girl with so much potential. She wouldn't hurt a fly but she'll demolish the dot from a laser pointer. She doesn't like being left alone because she's afraid you won't come back, even though I tell her every day I'll see her later. She will be your best friend, just give her time to adjust to you and understand her new environment.

Loud noises sometimes scare her, just reassure her that she will be okay. She also has a sensitive tummy so try not to give her anything other than her dog food and treats. She loves to run and play outside so spend lots of time in the yard throwing a ball or just running in circles with her (she'll probably try to herd you anyways). Understand that she'd had it kind of tough in her first year of life as she tries to find her perfect home. Love her as much as I do and do for her what I couldn't.

Good luck on your new journey sweet girl. Mommy will always love you.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
