Why Adopting a Dog is a Bad Idea
US News Health

Adopting a dog is actually the best idea ever, I just wanted to catch your attention ;) I adopted a puppy about a month ago and it was seriously the best decision ever!

1. Forever have a cuddle buddy

Everyone is always talking about how they wish they had someone to cuddle with. A dog is the perfect match! They will always lay up against you and are less likely to move away because you don't really annoy them like you can a partner.


2. Saving a life

Dogs lose their lives every day, for no reason at all. Humans get tired of taking care of them and choose to neglect and get rid of them whenever they please, not remembering dogs have lives too. Shelters are overflowing and are having to turn away and even euthanize dogs just to make room for more. ugh. so sad.

3. They're THE sweetest dogs

I don't know what it is, but somehow, shelter dogs are the sweetest pups around. They just want to love you, lick you face and play with you all day long. Puppy kisses are some of my fav. You can't not love it.

4. Exercise

Seriously. If you are a good dog parent, which I hope you are, you talk your dog out on walks or runs or if your like me, you even go up and down flights of stairs constantly just to take them outside. Think of all the extra exercise you're getting! And it's not really super annoying. I love taking my puppy to the park and walking her around the trail. It's good for me and her! plus, it's so rewarding when you hit 10,000 steps on your fitbit.

5. Unconditional love

Seriously, no person can match up to the love of a puppy. They don't really get mad at you, they just want to love on you, even when you don't show them so much love, they still love unconditionally. They're a forever companion and shall be cherished as so <3

This is why you should definitely {not} adopt a dog ;)

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.
