Because Dogs Prove that Happiness is Key

An Open Thank You Letter to My Dog
Leslie Stratton

Dear Pup,

Who is a good dog?!! Come on, you knew I would start the letter off this way. I know you will not understand this but hopefully the MilkBone I give you at the end will help. I am sure it will make you drool all over the floor, but do not worry, I will wipe it up (maybe before you lick it up).

Remember that time you chewed up the dog obedience book? That was ironic. My parents and I were mad at you that day but could not help but laugh. That is what you do little pup, you make mistakes but the joy you bring overall makes the mistakes seem so small. Please do not take this as an invitation to chew everything you want. My dad's new trucks interior has suffered enough. My dad tried to sell you that day (just kidding we all know he never would have).

I think my favorite part of having your wiggly butt around is how happy you are. You could run into the water well in the backyard and be up and running to greet me seconds later (true story). Dogs are a perfect example of the truth that we are meant to be happy. You little pup, were the happiest ball of fur from day one. Gosh you do it so well; you do not know any other emotion but happiness.

If I have had the worst day or the best day, I can always count on you to greet me at the door with such excitement, even if I was gone for only a couple of minutes. Know, I always appreciate you licking me like I have been gone forever. Your dedication for making me feel loved via slobber is admirable. I may get frustrated when you lick me directly in my mouth but it is only for a second (I forgive you).

As your owner, I am happy you are happy. You make me happy and that can never be repaid. In the meantime, here's a MilkBone. Get your drool on.

Keep Wagging,

Your Owner

PS sit. stay..... good dog!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
