People Vs. Puppies

The truth is RUFF sometimes

People Vs. Puppies
Samantha Lopez

Dogs are so much better than people for a numerous amount of reasons. For one, dogs will never ever under any circumstances ever really let you down. From the first moment you picked them up from a shelter, kennel, or pet store they've been nothing but a loyal friend to you and those around you. They never fail to bring a smile to someone's face. Not to mention that dogs are incredibly adorable in everything that they do. They have those big, humongous, gorgeous puppy dog eyes that they grow into and just always melt your own heart away. They could basically get away with anything whenever puppy dog eyes come into play and we all know it. It's amazing how they are always so happy and excited to see you.

Unfortunately, humans don't always necessarily have the beloved qualities that in fact most dogs seem to have. For instance, people don't always sense how you're feeling the way dogs do. You could go all day being upset about something or even really excited and some, if not most people won't notice at all but dogs always do. They will either play with you and distract you until you feel like your old self again or share the happy with you while you pet their super soft fur till your heart's content.

Another things dogs are better at than humans is cuddling! Dogs are always there to cuddle and they are so fuzzy, and soft, and warm. No matter what size a dog is, it is the perfect size to cuddle with. Bigger ones can lay beside you or keep your feet warm on a cold winter night at the end of your bed and smaller dogs can even lay on top of you. You can always feel a dog's love for you. Dogs are the most loving creatures and we sometimes take them for granted. We are all they have. They may only be in a part of our lives but we are their entire lives. They love unconditionally. They aren't like humans who may judge others by the color of their skin, how much they weigh, the house they live in, or even the clothes on a person's back.

Dogs are untouched by society and its standards. As long as you take care of them they take care of you. They follow you wherever you go and they never forget you. Dogs are incredibly selfless and I wish we humans could be even just the slightest bit more like dogs. Sure they may make a mistake every now and then and pee on the floor when they get excited or mistake your shoes for a new toy but you gotta admit in the long run they are pretty much the best pet and friend you could have. I mean we all make mistakes. In a way that is the dog's way of being a little human like in their mannerisms. They always forgive us for our mistakes so we should do the same.

We should all take the best care of our dogs and other pets as we can. We owe it to them!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
