As a proud owner of a beautiful chihuahua I want to share with you some reasons I believe you should own a Dog.

1. Endless Cuddles

They will cuddle you until you just can’t anymore. My little one likes to jump on my bed or the sofa when i’m there and likes to rub her head on my arm or my stomach. It just adds a little extra to my day because of the love I feel coming from her.

2. Companion at all times

I mean at ALL times. They follow you everywhere around the house. Unless my little one is sleeping you better believe she is right behind me all over the house. Not only that but she is there when I don't have anyone to comfort me. If i’m upset she instantly knows and will try her be to comfort me.

3. Prepares you for responsibility

Having a dog is not a thing that should be taken lightly. It is a great responsibility and although some people don’t like the comparison it can be like having a child. You have to feed them and make sure they always have water. And also make sure they get outside on time to use the restroom or pick up the little potty pads. Not only is it physical things like grooming but also emotional. You need to have time to be with them and show them love and play with them or just simply sit there a scratch their belly. O and let’s not forget about the little whining in the middle of the night sometimes.

4. More exercise

You will get more exercise! You can take them out for a walk or run. You can also just play around the house. They will always have a great time running after you.

5. Protection at all times

Your dog will always make sure you know someone has arrived. Literally every person that has stepped on our property has been announced by her. So you will definitely know if there is an intruder.

6. Happiness

I believe you will be happier and so do most scientist. It is said dogs can help reduce stress and relieve anxiety !

7. They’re just cute

They are just so freaking cute. Need I say more?

Although there are multiple reasons you should own a dog you should always remember they require time and love. If you don’t think you will have time to play or just cuddle please don’t get a one.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. 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.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.
