5 Signs Your Dog Is Your Best Friend
By: Morgan Blain

My dogs are my best friends and I have come to terms with the fact that I enjoy their presence more than I enjoy human presence. Dogs are the epitome of a true friend and they love you unconditionally no matter what the circumstances. A best friend is someone that you can go to when you are feeling low, gives hugs when you need it the most, and would truly take a bullet for you. If that doesn't explain my dogs, than I don't know what does.

So if you are experiencing these five signs, your dog may very well be your best friend.


1. You Tell Your Dog Secrets:

I'd be lying if I said I never sat down with my dog, just us two, and told a secret or two. Dogs are great listeners and give you their feedback with a cute little tilt of the head. Even if you told them that they were adopted, they would look at you with the most accepting stare. They are the best conversationalists, one because they don't talk back, and two because you know they will never tell a soul.


2.You Take Selfies:

I've taken more selfies with my dogs than I'd like to admit. They turn an otherwise boring, simple smiling picture into a silly, cute-as-can-be picture that is acceptable to post everywhere. A selfie becomes so much more interesting when a cute little dog is in it and technically taking a picture with your dog doesn't count as a selfie, it becomes a group picture! Not only are they great at taking selfies, but they are the perfect models for a photo shoot because they are just so photogenic and adorable.

3.You Celebrate Your Dog's Birthday:

You wouldn't forget your best friend's birthday, so why would you not acknowledge your dog's birthday? They are turning another year older and another year wiser, so I always celebrate their life, because honestly, they keep me young! Pupcakes, new toys, and birthday hats are also present and you sing happy birthday to them as if they can actually understand the words. And also, there is an abundance of photo opportunities on their big day!

4. You talk about your dog more than you talk about yourself:

I am constantly keeping my friends, family and basically anyone I meet, up to date on how my dogs are doing. My dog turned one and it's a big deal, so I will let all of my Facebook friends know about it. My dog got a new sweater, so obviously I'm going to post a picture of him in it. My dogs snuggle together in their bed and I can't stand it, so I'm going to let everyone know because I can and I want to show them off to the world.

5. At the end of the day, they are your biggest fans:

They mean the world to you, and you know that they feel the same way about you. No matter how the day played out, no matter what you've been through, no matter how tired, exhausted and upset you are, your dogs will always be there,waiting for you with a warm snuggle. Warm puppy snuggles at the end of the day make every day worthwhile.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
