Welcome to Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary.

Located just east of Nashville, Tennessee, OFSDS is a Forever Foster home whose mission is to provide senior dogs with a loving home and all the care they need as they live out the rest of their lives.

Not only is this benefitting the dogs, but it is a source of joy for thousands of people worldwide. Their Facebook page has over one million likes and posts from their blog on Tumblr garner thousands of likes and reblogs daily.

When was the last time you saw a genuinely nice comment on the Internet? Take a look through the comments on OFSDS photos and you will be blown away by the precious words people offer at the sight of these sweet dogs.

Some of the dogs under the sanctuary’s care get adopted by loving families, which is always the goal. There is an album on their Facebook page which lists all of the dogs who are looking to find Forever Families. However, others find their place within the group. There are several cliques at OFSDS, but don’t worry, they’re all the best of friends.

Here’s the Road Crew.

The Calmer Gang.

And the Lookout Gang.

There are, of course, fan favorites at OFSDS. Leo, the handsome mix of Chow Chow, Siberian Husky and much more has stolen hearts with his big bushy mane and adorable smile.

Gertrude, who was hypothyroid upon her arrival at the sanctuary, meaning she lost hair and gained weight easily. With the help of the lovely OFSDS caregivers, she lost a lot of weight and her energy levels spiked. She’s now in great shape and doing well!

Captain Ron has a certain place in my heart. This grizzled old fella has only one eye but double the personality. He may look like a tough guy, but he’s really a big softie.

Also, to combat the ridiculousness of the 2016 presidential election, OFSDS’s own Mildred will be running for office with Captain Ron, her pick for VP.

Finally, some candidates we can get behind.

I highly suggest following the antics of these lovely pups. Also, if you are willing and able to donate to the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary and support these sweet animals, I encourage that, too. It’s all going towards the most noble of causes: helping dogs be happy.

Leo doesn't care that Captain Ron is tired from his work on the campaign trail, he just wants him to get out of his way!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

RBF, or resting b*tch face, is a serious condition that many people suffer from worldwide. Suffers are often bombarded with daily questions such as "Are you OK?" and "Why are you so mad?" If you have RBF, you've probably had numerous people tell you to "just smile!"
