For those who have never had a dog or have a dog but it is not a pug, I am here to tell say, you are missing out. Pugs have such a unique character that is not like any other dog. I have 10 solid reasons why everyone should own a pug.

1. They do not take up much space.

Pugs are so small that everything is big to them! People who have an apartment might like a pug because they do not require big living quarters to be happy.

2. They are lap dogs.

Who doesn't love a lap dog? During the B.C period pugs were bred to be lap dogs for royal families.

3. Everyone is their friend.


Pugs are door greeters. They will greet any guest at the door. My pug believes anyone who walks in the door is there to visit him. He will actually ditch me for the guest.

4. They are good with other pets.

Pugs are wonderful with other pets. They may be curious about the other dog or cat but will accept them as a their best buddy in no time.

5. They are not mischievous.

Pugs generally sleep 12 hours or more a day. While you are away, you will not have to worry about them destroying the brand new couch or confusing the new rug as grass.

6. They like to cuddle.

Not every breed is affectionate and enjoys cuddling. Pugs will be your cuddle buddy! They want to be as close as possible to someone especially their owner.

7. They do not require much exercise.

Pugs can overheat in the high temperature weather so a daily walk around the neighborhood would be all the exercise they would require.

8. Pugs have a great personality.

Pugs are always a joy to be around. They are playful and energetic.

9. Great with children.

Pugs are a perfect dog to have if you little ones running around. They are gentle and patient. They are not aggressive and love large amounts of attention.

10. They are not violent or aggressive.

Pugs are the biggest teddy bears and would never nip at anyone. Pugs are the definition of "all bark and no bite".

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.
