Struggles of Being a Dog Owner

Every dog owner knows what I'm talking about.

Dogs are the greatest gift God has ever given us humans. They love you and are always happy to see you. They are big fur balls that are great for snuggling with and whom you can tell your secrets to and never be judged. I love dogs and every little thing about them, but dogs can be a handful.

Hair

There is hair EVERYWHERE! It gets all over your clothes and finds its way into your food and every other thing possible.

Lint Rollers

There never seems to be enough lint rollers in the house. They last for about two days and I can never seem to find them when I need them enough.

Walks

I love walking my dog. We both get exercise and some fresh air. However, walking your dog in the winter, when it’s below freezing out and snow is on the ground, SUCKS!

Scaredy-Cat

I don’t know if it’s just my dog or not, but my dog is afraid of everything. He’s afraid of cameras, fireworks, and backpacks so it’s hard to get him to do anything that I wan him to.

Begging

My dog begs so much! He sits next to me and puts his head on my leg and he’s just so cute that I can’t say no. I end up giving half of my food!

Smelly

MY DOG REAKS! No matter how many times I bathe him, he still smells horrible. Sometimes I don’t want to pet him so the smell doesn’t get on my hand.

Never Listening

My dog doesn’t ever listen to me. I tell him to come and he just does whatever he wants. He only ever does what he is told when there is food involved.

Even though dogs are a handful, I wouldn’t trade my dog, or my sister’s dog, or my brother’s dog for anything in the world. I love them all and I love the happiness they give me and the companionship.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
