10 Things You Do If Your Dog Is Your Best Friend

In This Article:

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.

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.
