In light of the tragedy that has happened recently in Orlando and across the country, I feel as though many people deserve something that may cheer them up, even if it's only a little bit. If you're an animal lover, I may have found something wonderful to brighten your day: Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary.

Located in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary has been providing housing and love to senior dogs since 2012. Their Facebook page is adorable and heartwarming.

Their mission?

"To provide a loving home, good food, high quality vet care, compassion and comfort to senior dogs for the remainder of their lives.

To build a Forever Foster Home network to enable us to place more senior dogs in loving, home settings for the duration of their lives.

To provide education on the joys and challenges of caring for aging dogs.

To work with other dog rescue groups to promote the adoption of senior dogs." --Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary

They currently house 45 senior dogs at their sanctuary and have 90 dogs secured in forever foster homes. They have a wonderful Facebook page, posting pictures of their furry friends every day.

Just taking a look at the comment section on anyone of their pictures can restore your faith in humanity. Nearly everyone is sweet and positive. They can range from a simple, "Look at those two getting along so well!" to paragraphs about how these pictures brighten people's days.

The page is almost a beacon of light when the rest of the world looks a bit dreary.

You can donate to them here.

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.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.
