Why we really need both!

5 Realities of Being a Dog-Cat Person
Daily Kitten

Why chose one, when you can have both? There are awesome things about dogs and cats that just don't ever seem to overlap leaving a hole in the heart of a dog-cat person if they were forced to just stick to one or the other. So here are 5 realities that hold true for all dog-cat lovers.

1. You need a pet that will cuddle you.

Let's face it; a cat just won't be willing to cuddle with you whenever you feel like it - you have to wait for them to be in the mood. Dogs, however, are always down to cuddle. This is especially nice when you are having a rough day or are feeling lonely/ lazy.

2. You also need a pet that will totally freak out over things like lasers, feathers, streamers, and any other fun cat toy.

Need entertainment? There is something about the way that cats totally spaz out over the simplest things that is too funny. If you enjoy this "spazzing out" you get it, if not, then you never will.

3. A good cat video can brighten the darkest of days

Sort of an extension of number 2. on this list. There just aren't as many great dog videos out there as there are for cats. You probably have a list of your top favorites and might even have some saved to your computer/phone. The only thing better than watching funny cat videos is making them. ;)

4. You can't walk a cat, but dogs...

Since we are making comparisons, Dogs are definitely the more adventurous of the two. You can take them hiking, running, or for just a nice short walk. Cats just don't do well on leashes or with the whole "walking with you" thing.

5. Playing dress up with them

Honestly, both cats and dogs are fantastic dress up buddies. There is nothing cuter than an animal wearing a tutu.

6. Sometimes you get lazy and that litter box is your best friend.

As a bonus, on the nights when it's cold out and you really don't want to leave your couch, cats go in a litter box and that is probably a gross thing to be grateful for, but I really don't care.


* All dogs (except the one in the tutu and the first one) are all up for adoption! You can click on the image and it will take you to their adoption page with more info.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
