Did you wake up this morning and poor your self a cup of pawsitivity?

There is a difference between "pawsitivity" and "positivity," though they are closely related. Ya see, "pawsitivity" is a specific kind of positive you can only get from a creature with paws. In many cases, that creature is a dog. I know when I'm feeling down, a dog can always make me feel better, even if it's some stranger's dog just on a walk. If I get to pet that dog or even just smile at them, I'm happy.

One time I was going through a heart-wrenching breakup. You know, the kind of break-up where you haven't lost any love for the person, but they just aren't treating you the way you want to be treated, so you have to break it off. It's difficult, there are a lot of tears, and your life takes a new path. I had rehearsed what I wanted to say and how, but when it came down to it, I just broke down in tears.

However, in the midst of these tears, a really cute dog passed by, and I stopped all breakup talk and pointed out that dog and even approached it to ask if I could pet it. Honestly, the reaction of that now-ex at the time, truly cemented my choice to end things. He looked at me as if I were crazy! If you don't understand my love for pups, then we really are not meant to be together.

Anyways, that was a lil personal tale to tell you that dogs make you happy, and happiness brings laughter, so why not combine the two right off the bat with dog memes? Let's LOL together and pet some dogs!
