12 Reasons Why Humanity Should Be So Grateful For Dogs

What did we ever do to deserve dogs? If you're like me, your voice goes to some ungodly high pitch and you make up words that come out of nowhere when you pet a dog. And no matter how much you try to contain it, it's nearly impossible when you see a dog in public. Lately, there has been a debate about whether or not dogs are better than cats. Rest assured that dogs are the better companion.

1. Puppies!

How can you not like puppies? The puppy breath, the flimsy limbs, the big tummies, the hyper play time, and the cute cuddles. I would die if I had the chance to play with these two for an hour.

2. Dogs in Clothes


This is everything. Did you see how chill the dog looked after being dressed? Like yeah, I know, I'm a bada**. Also, puppies in onesies are the cutest things ever.

3. The Cuddles

I love when dogs get all lovey dovey and cuddly. It's probably my favorite thing to go home, sit on the couch, and have my big dog think he's a lap dog.

4. They are hilarious

Dogs are funnier than most humans I know. Like, for instance, how they go from 0 to 100, from sleeping in their bed to sprinting around the house for no reason.

5. Nothing but personality

I've never met any dog that was similar to another, personality-wise. The character of a dog is everything.

6. They are a personal vacuum

Once I moved away for college, I missed being able to drop food and have my dogs come running to me within seconds. I have now invested in a broom, but I'm sure having a personal puppy is so much better.

7. Loyalty

These little adorable guys are always there for you, helping you do the most random things at the most random times. This is love.

8. The Head Tilt


The cuteness overload is so much. I can't deal with how adorable head tilts are. Once you find what tilts your dog's head, you will not stop. It's the sweetest thing.

9. They are not only dogs but fish as well


Dogs that swim are probably the cutest thing. Look at this cute little guy. Part cuteness, part dog, part fish.

10. Great with Children


Instead of hiring a nanny for your future children, have your dog watch your kids. They can do it all! If your kids are big enough, you also have a free mini horse as well.

11. Their guilty faces


Denver the Lab is known to make the best guilty faces. However, dogs make the most adorable guilty faces, that make you feel bad, want to apologize, and give them hugs and kisses and treats and just cuddle.

12. The kisses

They are so presh. Dog kisses (especially puppy kisses) are the best thing known to mankind. If that's not love, I'm not sure what is.

So, to end this debate, dogs in fact are the superior companion animal. They're just big, fat, furry balls of love and personality. They aren't just animals, they're friends, family, and a personal alarm clock. They hold much more of a meaning than just an animal in your home. Have you ever come home from a regular day and had your dog hyper and excited to see you? They are so excited to see that their human has come back to give them love and attention. Their world just came back from hours of absence. You're their world, and the least we can do is make them a part of ours.

If you are ever interested in dog or a puppy always look at adopting at your local humane society first. I'm pawsitivley sure you will fall in love.

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.
