I couldn't imagine growing up without my dogs. My dogs are my best friends, and I love them more than anything. I know so many people that have pets too, like birds, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, the list goes on. Having an animal that looks after you and loves you unconditionally is something unexplainable. The bond I have my dogs is something I would never trade. There is something about coming home, and seeing your pet so excited to see you, that makes you feel so loved.

If you hesitate on getting yourself or your kids a pet, here are 10 reasons why you should get one.

1. Your pet will love you unconditionally.

Every time you come home, they'll be so excited to see you.

2. They will play with you and keep you active.

Most pets love running around and playing with their toys with you, which will keep you moving as well.

3. Your pet will cuddle with you when you're sad.

Animals can sense when their owner is sad, and will try to comfort you by snuggling up and giving you lots of affection.

4. Your pet will never get tired of you.

You are the reason your pet is healthy and happy. They will never forget that and always be happy to see you.

5. They are so adorable.

Pets are just so cute. You fall in love with them instantly and you find them to be perfect.

6. Pets can relieve stress.

Whenever you're stressed or overwhelmed, cut out some time with your pet. Studies have shown that spending time with your pets can reduce your stress.

7. They give you some responsibility.

Pets are an everyday commitment, you need to take care of them so they stay healthy. They're a big responsibility but they are so worth it. And it's a good for kids to learn early how to take care of others.

8. Pets can sense when danger is near.

Animals can sense when something is off, which will protect you from dangers you are not aware of.

9. They remind you that you're never alone.

No matter what, when you get home your pet will be there, ready to love you.

10. They become your best friend.

The bond you will form with your pet will be so strong, they will literally become your best friend.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
