Why I'm A Dog Person

Dogs are better than people

Why I'm A Dog Person

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been a huge fan of dogs. I had to have every book on dog breeds and every fluffy puppy stuffed animal. I was even able to persuade my parents to buy a dog instead of a microwave at one point. As soon as I saw a dog, my day was instantly made better. Why are dogs so important to me? Why not! A dog is one of the most loving creatures on the planet.

It has been my experience that dogs are extremely loyal. I have seen dogs protect not only people from harm, but they're canine buddies as well. I used to have a big Flat-Coated Retriever who was best friends with my tiny Morkie. Wherever Caesar went, Oliver would follow. One day Oliver that he was real tough and approached the Chow next door. Caesar heard Oliver yip when the Chow tried to attack him and came to his rescue in a flash. They were best friends until the very end. When Caesar passed away, Oliver became depressed. I don't care what you say, dogs do grieve the way that we do. Their friendship was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I would give anything to connect with a human the way they were connected.

Not only are dogs loyal beyond compare, they are also positive rays of sunshine. If you can look at a smiling dog, and not feel some form of joy, you have a heart of stone as far as I am concerned. Dogs aren't ashamed to outwardly show their love and joy the way that we humans do. If they are happy to see, their tails will wag; simple as that. If you are ever feeling sad, just look at your dog, give him or her a hug, and you will feel their love and support radiate off of them onto you just like magic. If you don't have a dog, I am very sorry. You are seriously missing out.

My heart is just so overfilled with love overtime I see or even think about my dogs. Not only because of how adorable and sweet they are, but I know they love me just as much. There is never any doubt that a dog loves you. Every time my dog looks up at me with those big, brown eyes and stares into my soul, I know that we are connected. Dogs are creatures of love, and I wish more people were like dogs.I could keep rambling about my love for dogs, but I think it is fairly obvious. Never forget to count your dog as a family member because to them, you are their whole family and world. Cherish and respect dogs as the blessings that they are.

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.
