Cat lovers beware.

11 Reasons Why Dogs Are Paws-itively Better Than Cats
Krista Mangulsone

Since the beginning of time, it's been the feud of all feuds. The world is divided by Republican or Democrat and "dog people" or "cat people." We need to settle the debate once and for all. Dogs or cats: which animal is superior?

1. I mean, do I really have to explain why?

No matter what if you have a dog, you will always have a best friend. Between greeting you as soon as you walk through the door to literally and figuratively sticking by your side through thick and thin, your dog will always be there for you.

2. Dog spelled backward is God.

Coincidence? I think not.

3. Whereas cats are the actual Satan spawn.

Cats are always secretly plotting your death, just F.Y.I.

4. Dogs are called "man's best friend" for a reason.

They lift you up when you're down, mend your heart when it's hurting and will always be loyal to you no matter what. Dogs are lifelong companions that love you as though you're family to them, while cats just want you to feed them and scoop their sh*t out of the litter box.

5. Dogs help to keep us fit and active.

Dogs love nothing more than to see a leash in your hand as you walk up to them. Taking your dog for a walk is a win-win for both of you as you can each get exercise while spending time together.

Have you ever tried to take your cat for a walk?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

6. Dogs are basically superheroes.

Police dogs, fire dogs, service dogs ... you name it, a dog can be it. Dogs can be used to sniff out drugs, guard firehouses, assist owners with physical disabilities and actually provide a service to society. Cats are just the damsel in distress waiting to be rescued from a tree by a knight and shining armor.

7. Dogs are civilized.

Cats will walk on every surface of your house.

We eat on that table!

8. Dogs are housebroken.

Cats don't even have the decency to leave the house before they do their business. The audacity.

9. Dogs don't vomit up hairballs every day like some animals we know. . .

10. Who will protect you from a burglar?

Certainly not a cat that's afraid of its own shadow, or in this case, a cucumber.

11. Cats have to have nine lives because they're clumsy.

Dogs only need one life because they know not to jump off of tall buildings as if they're a stunt double or parkour enthusiast.

For any cat lovers out there that I might have offended, I am sorry for my CAT-ITUDE, but I hope I can PURR-SUADE you to see the light and become a dog lover. These puns have been quite RUFF, so I apologize. Despite the shade I have thrown at all cat lovers, I'm just KITTEN around!

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
