8 Reasons Having Two Dogs Is Better Than Having One
DMagazine

It's no secret that dogs are the most common household pets. No, really;about 47% of U.S. families own at least one dog. About 8 years ago, my sisters and I convinced my parents to get a black lab. Fast forward 5 years later, and we did it again -- we took another puppy home. Most of our extended family thought we were crazy, as they all only have one dog each. But after even a few days of having two dogs around the house, we forgot what it was like to have only one. Two dogs around the house is definitely better. I could not imagine my house without both Logyn and Lucy for these reasons:

1. You always have two cuddle buddies.

Plus, cuddling and watching Netflix with dogs is so much better than humans. You don't have to compromise as much space or food.

2. You've always got two best friends, no matter what.

Whether you just got in a fight with your friend or weren't invited to that party, you've got two dogs who are dying to spend the night with you -- and won't ditch you either.

3. Two friends are always waiting for you at the door when you come home.

It's such a warm feeling when you pull up to your house and have two little puppies wagging their tails and waiting for you.

4. There's always two puppies who are happy to see you.

Sure, one happy dog is cute. But when you add a second dog, its like having twice the happiness.

5. There are no fights or drama or exclusions between the three of you.

Sometimes in friend groups of three, there is drama and it's hard to get along all the time. When you're in a friend group composed of two dogs and yourself, there's no drama ever!

6. When one is gone, you're not alone!

I've definitely experienced loneliness when one of my friends leaves town for a bit. But you never have to worry about that when you have two dogs. And even if one is away or on a walk, you still have the other to play with!

7. If you're craving a hike, walk or run, they're fighting to come with you.

The hard part is actually picking which one to take with you. Or take both if you really can't pick.

8. Two dogs are always cuter than one, right?

Double the dogs, double the cuteness.

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.

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.
