10 Ways Having A Dog Is Like Having A Child
Bre Crisp

If you are anything like me, you love your four-legged fur babies to the moon and back! However, sometimes their sweet puppy dog eye's can literally get on your nerves! Much like a child, dogs required ALOT of attention. I am only a mother of two fur-babies, but in many ways, they remind me of little kids!

If you have ever been around kids you know they are full of energy, hardly take naps, and are super picky when it comes to food! Replace the word kids and I just described my two dogs! Oh, and don't let me forget the sassy attitude I get from them when things don't go their way. Dogs require a lot of energy and can be very sneaky much like kids! While we love our fur babies more than anything, we even call them our children because dogs are family.

Here's a list of ways that dogs are like children:

1. You NEVER go to the bathroom alone!

You can literally hear them sniffing under the crack of the door, like Hello, human, are you coming out?

2. If you have something yummy to eat, you are being watched!

Excuse me, are there any chance you will drop that pizza on the floor? ACCIDENTALLY.

3. You never need an alarm clock.

Your dog becomes your alarm clock when it's pee o'clock! AKA 6:30 am.

4. They are needy!

Rub my belly, please!

5. When you are trying to discipline them and they look at you with the sweet and innocent look.

6. They are not cheap!

Vet bills, grooming fees, dog food, medicine......

7. They make messes.

Can the trash just fall over?

8. Toys are scattered all over the house.

9. Picky with their food.

I only like the REALLY expensive dog food.

10. Love car rides.

They just love to go places, unless it's the vet or the groomer!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
