Dogs are amazing creatures, and you best believe I think they need to be protected at all costs. Even after a couple of years of identifying as a " cat person ," there's no way I can turn my back on the cute, devoted, and sometimes stinky creatures I grew up with. The bond shared with a pet is strong, and there's something about a dog bond that can't be replicated. Their eyes, full of devotion. Their grief when you leave home. Most of all, when I think about dogs, I think about Teddy, my family…

Bark Bark. Meow Meow. These are the classic sounds of the dog and the cat we all know and love. They are the most common pets for a reason, and that reason is that they are so rad. A dog will bark when they hear you coming out of the bathroom. A cat can stretch out to over three feet. These are iconic animals that I can't help but love with all of my heart. I understand why certain people do not want dogs or cats as pets. There is much more responsibility required for a feline or a canine than…

Chances are that we don't need to tell you dogs are pretty damn special. There's no other animal that has a friendship as strong with the human race as dogs do. It's true that cats are probably the most popular pet around the world, and perhaps the most heavily meme'd, but dogs have been bred over centuries to aid humans in so many helpful ways, which has probably created this unshakable bond. It honestly makes sense that doggos are used in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and other instituti…

Not every meme is unique, and that's how it should be! Some memes work just well enough to get you to blow some air out of your nose. Some memes will make you cackle, but those are few and far between. In the meantime, it's perfectly acceptable to scroll through middling memes that aren't reinventing the wheel. As RuPaul Charles once said, "You ain't got to reinvent the wheel! The wheel is fine, girl." Nobody should be shamed for having basic taste in memes. You're probably better off for it! I…

Like many internet addicts, I am unsatisfied by merely one genre of memes. Offline people love to talk about how cat memes are the only good thing that's ever happened to the internet. I agree that cat memes are a remarkable phenomenon that brings joy to millions of people every day. However, I'm skeptical that cat memes are the be-all end-all of meme culture. Any topic can be memeified, and every topic is memeified! Remember those Rules of the Internet ? It's wild that it doesn't include a "Ru…

Is this how you want to spend it? Absolutely.

I have a confession to make. I wasn't always a cat person. I might talk about them constantly, share memes about them, and think about kitties all the time, but for the first half of my life, I was a hardcore dog person. I think this is mostly thanks to my mom, who would denigrate felines whenever she saw them. She'd grown up with dogs, dachshunds to be exact, and felt cats were cold and unpredictable in comparison to her beloved weiners. Obviously, she was wrong. It's easy to simplify the diff…

Free your mind! And the memes will follow

Who wouldn't?

How many days until February?
