People may think you are crazy for having a dog as your BFF, but they just don't understand. Here are ten things you know you do if your best friend is a pup.

1. Your paycheck belongs to them 

Yes, dogs are expensive. But, I find myself spending tons of money on unnecessary items like sweaters and cute bandanas. Dogs deserve to feel stylish too, right?

2. They get the first greeting

As soon as you come home from a long day, your dog is the first thing you want greeting you. Their greeting makes you feel like the most important person in the world, and sometimes that's all you need after a long day.

3. You talk to them like they're human

Do you ever find yourself talking to your dog like they're your best friend? Oh wait, they are.

4. You plan your day around them 

You know that you find yourself making sure daily plans don't go on too long so that your pup doesn't get lonely. I would be lying if I said I've never canceled a night out to watch movies with my pup.

5. Your internet search history revolves around them 

Whether it's for a new Kong recipe or searching for a local park to take a walk in, you are constantly googling new ways to keep your pup entertained.

6. Vets, daycares, and dog sitters are deeply investigated

If someone is going to be taking care of my pup, I need to know that I can trust them. Reading all reviews and doing an in person meet up is essential before I can consider handing over my world to anyone.

7. They're your adventure buddy

Anywhere you can take your dog, you will. Parks, stores, hiking, road trips, they do it all with you. You wouldn't have it any other way.

8. You give up bed space for them 

If your dog sleeps in bed with you, you know your are only getting a sliver of that mattress. But that's OK because they need a good nights rest. After all, being a dog can be exhausting.

9. They're your biggest distraction 

Let's face it, you can't get anything done with that cute face around. You would much rather be playing or cuddling them over pretty much anything. My dog is most certainly more important than my homework or any life responsibilities.

10. Nothing can replace them

At the end of the day, nothing can replace your furry friend. They hold a special place in your heart and nothing will ever change that.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
