12 Things You're Missing Out On If Your Best Friend Isn't A German Shepherd

In my perfectly unbiased opinion, German Shepherds are the best dogs that a person can have. They're sure to turn into your babies in no time. If you've been lucky enough to have a German Shepherd in your life, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. If not, here's 12 things you're missing out on:

1.German Shepherds will make you the happiest person alive.

From day one, they'll fill your heart with joy.

2. They will always let you know that you’re safe.

Don't mind me, I'm just walking around with my personal bodyguard. Even if they wouldn't hurt a fly, people tend to not mess with German Shepherds.

3. You'll never get bored.

German Shepherds will take you on walks, they'll play fetch with you, and they'll even let you laugh at them while they chase their tails.

4. They’re the best company to keep.

Most of the time, they just want a nice belly rub and some relaxation.

5. German Shepherds are a perfect mix of beautiful and badass.

Just look at her!

6. They are incredibly obedient.

Of course, puppies are puppies. If they're raised right, they know right from wrong.

7. Training is easy, they’re fast learners.

It takes a good trainer, but they pick up on things SO quickly. My parents were surprised every time she came home with a new trick!

8. They’ll definitely steal your heart.

"OK, just one more treat!"

9. German Shepherds are the best at keeping the bed warm.

You'll have to wash your bedding often because they shed like crazy, still worth it.

10. They’ll always make you laugh when you're sad.

They'll lick away your tears, bring you their toys, and cuddle up until you're happy again.

11. Some have the most dramatic dog personalities ever.

Mine will literally throw a tantrum and fake an injury if she’s not getting enough attention. Just like momma.

12. They will be the best friend you’ve ever had.

Every minute you put into loving them will be so worth it.

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.
