Top 16 Reasons That Dogs Are The Best Pets, Paws Down
Madyson Thompson

Dogs only live for so long, but they leave a lasting impact on your heart and in your life. They simply are the best pet and friend you could ask for. There are many reasons why dogs are the superior pet, but the ones that stand out to me the most are,

They are often full of energy and happiness.

Cait Garlick

Even when your dog sometimes drives you crazy, it is always nice to see them because they boost your mood no matter what.

They are the best cuddle buddies.

Dom Carey

No one is a better cuddle buddy then your dog, I mean come on, they are super soft from their fur alone.

They become your best friend.

Madyson Thompson

You can't really describe it, but somehow they become your favorite, and your relationship with them is super strong.

They can swim with you, run with you, or simply go anywhere / do anything with you.

Chris Shopa

This is probably why they become your best friends. You can go on walks, take them to the lake, or even just lay with them, and they are always excited for all of it.

They are your protectors.

Jada Ortiz

Some don't always seem like the scariest dogs, but they will always have your best interests at heart and want to protect you.

They are always thrilled to see you when you come home.

Dom Carey

We often forget their time here is shorter than ours, and just an hour for us feels longer for them, so even just being gone for a quick lunch leaves them missing you.

They want everyone you introduce them to, to look and feel safe, and be happy.

Madyson Thompson

Dogs are the most caring, and selfless individuals and that means they want everyone they encounter to be happy.

They give the best slobbery kisses.

Nicole Scott

Yeah it is kinda gross, but it is always appreciated as it is their way of showing us how much they love us.

They give the best comfort, because they can tell when you're sad even if no one else can.

Madyson Thompson

Dogs seem to have a special sense that lets them feel when we're not doing our best, and then they are quick to comfort us as best as they can.

They always think that they're lap dogs, even when they're not.

Madyson Thompson

Yup, no matter how big they get they always seem to think they are still small enough to sit on your lap.

They make you laugh all the time.

Madyson Thompson

They let you dress them up, and they always do something funny that you find yourself cracking up at, and taking pictures or videos to share the laugh.

They make you feel like they understand everything you're saying, which makes them great listeners.

Chris Thompson

I mean they listen to sit, or paw, so why wouldn't they be able to hear everything else you say to them, plus you're always right when talking to them.

They are so good with little kids.

Dean Jakeman

They love babies, and toddlers, just as much as we do, and they're usually so good with them, just wanting to play with them, or being by their side.

If they're not running around driving you crazy, they're sleeping, which makes for the best pictures.

Cait Garlick

Who doesn't love a picture of a dog sleeping, they're always so cute!

They're not just a dog, they're a part of your family.

Jess Jones-Thompson

Literally, they're another family member, not just your pet dog.

They love you even more than you love them.

Madyson Thompson

We are all they have in this life, and so they have a special kind of love for us.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
