Why My Dog Matters So Much To Me
Michelle Mersman

I am obsessed with my dog. I won't deny it. I am not even ashamed of it. I will take my dog everywhere with me, and he knows that if I am about to leave he is coming with. Whether it is a ride to the bank, or a ride to my grandparents house, my dog knows he is coming. Some people don't understand why I take him everywhere or why I am obsessed with him, and some people will know this feeling exactly. But why is it that we love our pets, like our dogs, so much? There are a lot of reasons I love my dog so much and it would take forever to write, but I guess there are some reasons that really stand out.

My dog, Swiper, is a great companion. He knows when I am sad and just need him to lay by me and cuddle. He always makes sure I am happy and if I am crying he will just put his head on my lap and instantly comfort me better than any boy ever could. It is like he senses what I am feeling. I wouldn't give that up for anything.

He is always so happy when I come home from school. I walk in the door and he is there to greet me with his tail wagging and his tongue out. It makes me happy that at least he is excited to see me when my siblings aren't.

He just makes me happy. Even when he tries stealing my food from my dinner plate, I can't be mad because he just gives me his really cute look that he totally knows works every time. I end up sharing my food with him because of that look, and I do not do that often.

I think the thing that makes him matter so much is that he is loyal. And loyalty goes a long way with me. I love knowing he will be there. Some people won't understand it, but it is like I can feel the love my dog has for me and my family. And nothing else can compare to that feeling.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
