5 Things I Wish My Dog Could Understand

Because lets be honest, I'd rather hangout with her than anyone else.

The saying is diamonds are a girls best friend, but who needs a rock when you can have a whole dog?? I have a 2.5-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Meadow, and let me tell ya, she's my baby, and I wouldn't trade her for the biggest diamond in the world.

My freshman year, she lived at home with my family because I obviously couldn't take her to school with me, and if I would have it would have been SO unfair to her. This year, I have a house in my college town, so it's just me and her 24/7 (along with her Beardie brother Mushu). We spend a lot of time together, and there are times I really think she understands what I'm saying, but I know most of it is just her getting excited that I'm talking to her.

If there were just a few things that she could really understand, I would hope it would be these:

1. I love you unconditionally

Yes, even when you try to steal my bread, or when you drag me around campus chasing the squirrels. When I see you, it makes my heart happy. You can make my bad days good and my good days even better. I've loved other dogs, but I've never loved one as much as I love you. You are more than a dog; you're family, and I love you more than you'll ever know.

2. It broke my heart to leave you

We spent a whole week of just you and I going to the dog park, getting extra lake time and buying new squeaky toys, but it didn't make leaving you any easier. I missed you all the time and asked how you were doing almost every day. Your pictures were all over my room, and you were always on my mind.Every dog I saw on campus reminded me of you, and just made me want you here with me even more.

3. Not all other dogs are friends

We all want friends

You are such a sweet and loving dog, and like me, you always try to see the good in everyone. We have had several talks while we were out on our walks about how we can't just trust everyone. You still don't understand that the other dogs aren't playing when they growl, but I know you're just being friendly. You want friends so bad, but you look too scary to the othet dogs, if only they knew how sweet you are. The world is full of grumpy dogs and grumpy owners, but you and I are not some of them.

4. Having you with me now makes me happier than you'll ever know

When I have bad days at work, I come home and it doesn't matter because you make it all better. Having something to come home to makes the day less dreadful, and I'm so happy you're here. You are always here when I need someone to talk to early in the morning or late at night.

5. I don't know what I'm going to do without you

My best friend

Your breed is known for its relatively short lifespan, so I know that we don't have as much time together as our friends do. I get asked all the time if that if I would have known the average lifespan before I got you if I would do it all over again, and every time, my answer is yes.

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.
