5 Things You Know If You're A Dog Person
Erika Horton

These days, everything under the sun seems to have a dedicated day of the year... pancakes, ice cream, siblings, cats, and my favorite - dogs! "National Dog Day" was Friday, August 26, and all of my social media filled with people posting pictures of their dogs and expressing how much they loved them. (My news feed had a parade of fluffy dog pictures, and it was great.)

However, someone also posted the occasional cat picture because someone always has to be that person. (Cats have a day, too, so let us dog people do our thing!)

I could just fill this article with pictures of fuzzy, cuddly, balls of love, but I guess I will also write a little something... so here are 5 things you know if you're a dog person.

1. You probably love all animals, but dogs will always be your number 1.

Seriously, what could be better than this tiny puppy playing with a tiny pumpkin? Nothing. The answer is absolutely nothing.

(Be still my heart.)

2. Adoption days are your kryptonite.

Imagine being out buying dog food for the other 72 dogs you already have, and then Petco has an adoption event going on.

(Could you resist taking this guy home? I mean, look at that face!)

3. You change the channel every time those Sarah McLachlan/ASPCA commercials are on TV.


Ruins your whole day and probably makes you cry real tears. Those poor puppies!

4. You feel dirty every time you pet a cat.

Cats are cute, and sometimes, you can't help but give them a good scratch behind the ears, but you always feel like you're betraying man's best friend.

(Make sure to wash off the cat stench before you get home. Fido will be upset with you if you don't.)

5. Every time you see a dog in public, you want to be its best friend.

Seriously, let me love you!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
