4 Reasons Co-Sleeping with your dog is a good thing.

Dogs are the most dedicated creatures that have come to us, they are loyal, loving, and they are always learning.

As a dog mom myself, waking up in the morning with a 60 pound beast curled up right next to me, is always a heartwarming feeling. Animals are sensitive to emotions, that being said, if a dog is willing and ABLE to sleep next to you in bed, must mean the connection between the dog owner and the dog in question is a healthy one, so ROCK ON!

However there are always people that do not understand the feeling, and so here are 4 reasons why letting the dog on the bed is a good thing.

Dogs are warm! They cuddle close and keep you warm, which helps with the heat bills. Why pay an extra 20 dollars a month when you can have your own personal heater every night.

Dogs are protective! To have a dog is to know that if there ever comes a need, your dog will have your back. And intruders tend to stay away from the dog, which would be you as well.

Dogs offer great emotional support! Dogs have a sense when their owner is feeling a little different, and they usually find a way to remind their owner that they are not alone. Just letting the dog sleep in the bed allows for an overall sense of peace in owner and dog.

Your dog won't judge you! Your dog loves you and understands that you are who you are, they won't judge you for what you do in your sleep. Whether you snore, talk, or sleepwalk; your dog will love you either way.

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.

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.
