10 Things You Know All Too Well When Your Dog Is Your Best Friend Over Any Human In Your Life
Macey Mullins

I've had my dog for over 10 years now. He's my best friend and he has been by my side since day one. I don't know what I would do without him (Bisket.) He is a Jack Russell Terrier, all white with little brown spots on his ears. He has been through everything with me. At the end of the day, as long as he's alive and well, it's chalked up as a good day.

1. You want to buy them the best dog food out there. 

$50.00 for a bag of food? Fine, as long as your dog likes it, right? You'll also research whats in the dog food, so that you know it's safe.

2. You have developed a way of communication that doesn't involve speaking. 

You can tell when your dog is acting weird. You have developed a way of communication that relies on movements and "whines." Either way, you both have an understanding of each other.

3. Thinking about your dog passing away someday isn't a thought you can wrap your head around. 

I hate thinking about it, but because my dog is getting old I think about it all the time. I don't know what I'll do without him.

4. No one, and I mean no one, is allowed to treat your dog badly. 

When I say badly, I mean even a harsh voice. They're like your child. When they're upset, you're upset.

5. "The couch belongs to the dog, too. If you don't like it, leave." 

There is no in-between, really. My house is his house, too.

6. You love when other people love your dog. 

When you're out and about, walking your dog, or simply showing off pictures, it makes you proud when people compliment your pup.

7. You would never move anywhere without your dog. 

"Oh, they don't allow dogs here? I'm out." This goes for apartments, parks, beaches, and everywhere in between.

8. You have several photos of your dog on your phone.

They look so cute while they're asleep, how could I pass up this opportunity?

9. You can never have too many dog toys. 

... and you've gotten used to tripping over them when you wake up to go to the bathroom.

10. TREATS TREATS TREATS

You get a feeling of happiness when you give them treats, because it's something they love.

Real dog people are one of a kind, and their dogs are their partner in crime. You eat, sleep, and spend time together every day. They can tell when you are sad, vice versa. You could never ask for a better best friend.

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.
