Full disclosure, I call every dog a puppy. It doesn't matter how big, small, fat, skinny, old, or young, the dog is...it's a puppy. So prepare yourself to be convinced! You're going to find yourself looking up shelters near you, immediately following this article.

You're welcome.

1. First of all...have you ever seen a puppy?

That should be reason enough.

2. They're perfect traveling partners! 

They love cars as much as you love your destination, and they'll be happy just being with you!

3. They NEVER stop being photogenic...even 12 years later.

Dogs are a lifelong commitment, and they age WAY better than you will.

4. They look freaking adorable with Santa! 

Local shops and shelters will do pictures with Santa for free or low cost! Look how cute...

5. A doggo in the shelter is calling your name...

There are so many dogs that will be spending Christmas in the shelter if you don't adopt them, or worse. Consider adopting!

6. You'll never be alone... 

Not when you're sleeping. Not when you're awake. Not ever.

7. They look good all wrapped up...

Who could resist a corgi-in-a-box?

8. All they want to do is love you! 

Or let you love them...

9. You'll never stop smiling...

Until they chew up your shoes, or eat all your toilet paper or knock over the garbage. At least they're cute!

10. There's nothing better than a gift that lasts forever! 

They'll be with you for their whole life...what could top that?

Consider adopting a furry friend into your family today!

While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
