22 Things Every Dog Owner Knows To Be True When It's Bath Time

YouTube

No matter the breed and no matter the age, it's hard not to be obsessed with your pet but there's just a different kind of relationship with a human and dog. Dogs have the ability to love you so, so unconditionally with the best reminders every single time you walk through the door. But just like with kids, being a dog parent has its own struggles — some are more legit than others but come on, that just comes with the territory of owning any pet.

Alas, the most obvious battle one can ever face when it comes to their dog is something you'd think would be such a simple task: Washing them. Whether your dog is five pounds or 150, it's never going to be easy and it's never going to be done in record-breaking time. Oh, the joys of owning the most loyal furry, four-legged creature, right?!

1. The only time you want them in the bathroom, they refuse to go.

2. And they will resist you the whole way there, like taking an 8-year-old out of Toys "R" Us.

3. Once you get them in the tub, it's like the water is actually lava.

4. And you don't feel sorry for them.

5. That first initial scrub down is CLEARLY the worst thing in the world.

6. Then they start to low-key enjoy it because they get extra rubs...

7. But you can still sense their resentment in the pouty eyes.

8. Then they think hiding in the corner will somehow work?

9. Which calls for you to bring out the "highly involved" parent in you...

10. Being thorough is really important because it took so long to get here. So you can't BS the job.

11. What a time to be alive, am I right?

12. Especially when they try to escape roughly 3,049 times...

13. So naturally, the teasing they have coming is deserved.

14. Both you AND your dog both become super relieved during the final rinse.

15. Once all the frustration of bathing is done, they always look super cute hanging in the tub for some reason.

16. But the truth of it is, joke's on you...

17. You soon learn that karma is in fact, real. (See No.4)

18. No matter how cute they are, there's really nothing cute about this... AT ALL.

19. But you both know you're always going to win.

20. Just kidding! As soon as they go outside after all your troubles this is what they do...

21. Then they just act SO cool about it like everything's fine because they must think you're into the whole smelling like wet dog thing, too?

22. Despite the battle you somehow conquered with slight grace and major patience, dogs really are a man's best friend. You love them no matter what.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
