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.

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.
