12 Things You Need To Thank Your Dog For

Jenna Rutkey

We have so much to thank our loyal, furry friends for. They love us completely with all of their hearts and want nothing more but to see us happy and smiling, so much so that they would do anything for us. However, sometimes the things they do for us aren't exactly what we picture when we think of a loving, caring gift. Regardless, our pups give us a good, hard laugh whenever they decide it's time to show us their love! Here are 12 things we should thank our dogs for.

1. Weening out all of the socks you obviously didn't need.

2. Keeping your enormous shoe collection in check.

3. Licking your plate clean so you don't have to rinse it before putting it in the dishwasher.

4. Eating the cats poop, or their poop in the yard, so you don't have to pick it up.

5. Ripping the garbage to shreds for when you get home so it looks they threw confetti; they were so excited to see you.

6. Finding your food crumbs and droppings so you never have to break out a vacuum again.

7. Curling up in the middle of your bed, so you don't have any room, because they know it keeps you nice and warm.

8. Scaring off all of the "threatening" mail people and pedestrians walking and driving by.

9. Nibbling on your body parts because you really needed a good massage today.

10. Sneezing on your face; who knew dog snot was such a good moisturizer.

11. Being the best pillow/tissue/cuddle buddy combination ever.

12. Looking forward to seeing you constantly and loving you endlessly for as long as they live.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
