What Does Your Dog's Body Language Mean?

Sometimes dogs just can't find the words to say.

What Does Your Dog's Body Language Mean?

We've all been asked the question at some point in our lives. It's the question that either makes you love or hate someone: Are you a dog or a cat person? I would describe myself as a die-hard dog person; cats are fine, but I can just tell they'd rather die than let me pet them. So, since I've grown up with them, I'd like to think I'm a dog whisperer of sorts. If you're new to being a dog person or you're just confused about what your dog is trying to say to you, here is a guide to help you out.

1. Tail wagging

"I'm hot! I know it looks like I'm just happy to see you, but I'm just really hot and I'm fanning myself!"

2. Panting

"I see you just cleaned your car. It would be a shame if someone slobbered all over your seats."

3. When your dog gets in your bed

"Oh, that raggedy old cloth you got me? That's not my bed. This one is. Hope you weren't trying to have any room while you sleep tonight."

4. Having accidents in the house

"I don't like you."

5. Jumping on you

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE DON'T TOUCH ME DON'T PET ME"

6. Licking your hand

"I like to taste test my victims before I go in for the kill."

7. Sleeping

"I'm dreaming of eating the couch when you're gone at work."

8. Playing fetch

"Wow, humans are dumb and so easily entertained."

9. Lurking in the kitchen

"I don't like you that much. I just want you to drop some food on the floor."

10. Getting in the shower with you

Okay, maybe it's just my dog who tries to do that with me. I might need to file a restraining order.

Despite what the haters say, dogs are the best things to ever bless this earth. Except for when they eat twelve peanut butter chocolate chip cookies you just baked and then get sick.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
