15 perks of having a dog

Just a breezy post about how my little doggo has made my life better.

  1. They give structure to your day. I have found this very helpful now when life feels pretty nebulous.
  2. They make sure you get outside. Not sure how well I would be doing about this during the pandemic without Velma.
  3. You have a cuddle buddy. Another huge perk during this time of physical distancing.
  4. I have found that Velma helps me feel more productive because no matter what else I did or didn't do on any given day, I took care of my dog and that's something.
  5. I have found that Velma helps me remember to vacuum more because her hair gets everywhere.
  6. They are unbelievably cute and you get to just look at them.
  7. My dog is so soft and it is so comforting to pet her.
  8. Dogs make sure you exercise.
  9. They love you unconditionally and that is so heartwarming.
  10. My dog makes sure I always have fruit in the house because that is one of the snacks she can have.
  11. You can tell them anything.
  12. They give you a chance to play. Velma doesn't really play, but I do hide food for her to sniff around and find (she is not very good at this game).
  13. You get to bond with other people over their pets, it's a great common ground.
  14. You have company. Even when Velma and I aren't cuddling, I just like knowing she's near.
  15. You get a chance to meet other cute doggos.

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
