Our dogs are lovable and do the cutest things that we end up saying "awe" at least 12 times a day. Sometimes, though, they do things that drives us nuts and make us question what a dog's purpose is when they aren't cuddling and making our lives infinitely better. If you own a dog, you've probably found yourself saying the following 10 phrases at least once a week.

1. "Git."

Often used when frustrated with the dog and you can't even look at him or her. Sounds somewhat like "get," but means "go away," or "get on." "You ate this? GIT."

2. "We don't sniff people."

Often said in an authoritarian tone to imply that you aren't mad, but you mean business. "We" implies that your dog should model after your behavior and not sniff other's private areas and/or shoes.

3. "What's in your mouth?"

Often said when the unidentified object is halfway down the dog's throat and you reach wrist deep to retrieve it to prevent injury/illness.

4. "Don't eat your own vomit!"

Often said after "What's in your mouth?" and after you go to retrieve cleaning products. You likely return to the dog's nose dangerously close to his or her own upchuck, and scream this in an unnaturally shrill voice.

5. "Spit it out, now!"

Often said when the dog has something in his or her mouth too large to swallow, but doesn't want to relinquish his or her treasure.

6. "Who's a good boy/girl?"

Often said all the time (i.e. when the dog is napping, wagging tail, eating, holding ball, cuddly, etc.).

7. "Who wants a treat?"

Often said to foster your relationship with your dog or to bribe them into bath time.

8. "Bring me the ball."

Often said when the dog does not want to bring you the ball.

9. "Drop it."

Often said when the dog will not drop the ball he or she just brought you. Often said approximately 12 times.

10. "For the sake of my sanity, please just go potty."

Often said when it's raining, freezing cold, or blazing hot and the dog will not go to the bathroom for the sake of anything -- especially your sanity.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
