What It's Like To Finally Get A Get Dog
Gorran Haven

Let's face it, dogs are the best creatures God has given us. All they want to do is show us how much they love us. I recently got a dog and my life has changed. Let's see if any of you relate to these experiences I've had since getting a dog.

They light up your day


Had a hard day at work? Guess what? Your dog still loves you.

Just went through a tough breakup? Guess what? Your dog still loves you.

Finished the last episode of the show you've been binge watching all week? Guess what?

YOUR DOG STILL LOVES YOU. They will love you for as long as they live.

Training Dogs SUCKS

"Sit. SIT. NO STOP. SIT DOWN. AHHH NOOO." Puppies are worse. But they're cute so...

Is their bladder the size of a pea?

See what I did there?

Pea...p-e-e?

Yeah, disgusting, I know. Just like the little wet spots they leave all over your floor if you don't let them out every 2 hours.

I have to walk you again?

I get that this is a major responsibility but going from never leaving the house to always walking around the neighborhood is a major change. Honestly, having a dog will get you at least a little in shape with the miles you walk everyday.

They are your precious angel who can do no wrong

"It's okay, I forgive you for finding and eating all of your treats."

However, they can also be your little devils

STOP PEEING EVERYWHERE.

When they come into the room just to sit with you:

Heart stolen.

When you accidentally hurt them:

OH NO MY BABY I'M SO SORRY FORGIVE ME PLEASE.

The silent treatment brings tension to a whole new level:

The defiance is strong in this one.

When visitors come and you try to convince them your dog is the most trained, most kind, most calm dog in the world

Yeah she doesn't bite, bark, shed, beg, cry, growl, poop, etc.

When your dog hangs all over them you feel a little bit of jealously and betrayal

*She's mine, stop touching her*

Isn't she the sweetest?

At the end of the day though, that dog is staying home with you!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
