The feeling of a 45-minute commute on a train or a bus is an entirely different feeling than the same amount of time spent in a car . The latter is much more unbearable because you have so much more responsibility. You have your life in your hands in a car, and you must focus. When you're on the train, you only have to worry about whether you get off at the right stop, which is an absurdly easy task to accomplish. One of my favorite things about taking the train is that I can play on my phone d…

I'm not shy about loving dogs . I grew up surrounded by them. But while I love their energy, their penchant for unconditional love, and their undisputable cuteness, I recently discovered that there is such a thing as too much dog. When 5 huge dogs (including a Grand Pyrenees, a Mastiff-Rotteweiler mix, and a pitbull) get together, it can be overwhelming to say the least. And 3 nights of sleeping on a couch in the designated dog zone? Supremely chaotic, but you make do when visiting family. Need…

How lame can he be?

I love dogs. There's no getting around the fact that they are my favorite pets around, and I don't think anything will ever change that. I know many members of the meme community are cat people, which I respect. I wish I could be a cat person , but I don't have it in me. I don't want to beg an animal to like me, and whenever I meet a cat, I feel it is necessary. I know factually how to get a cat on my side. It's a long haul. You're not going to become a cat's best friend the first time you meet…

Dogs are precious. Even as a relatively new “cat person,” I cannot turn my back on the adorable, loyal, 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. The eyes, full of devotion. Their grief when you leave home. Most of all, when I think about dogs, I think about Teddy, my family's long-deceased Wheaten Terrier. Teddy was amazing. He wasn't great with other dogs (he wasn't socialized early in…

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…
