There's something about ramen that gives us all sorts of cozy.

Ramen is one of the world's favorite foods, and for good reason. It's not just a poor college students snack, or the dinner of a struggling divorced dad on a night away from his kids. It's kawaii, it's delicious, and it's cozy. The whole process takes 5 minutes or less, and you can be as creative as you want with it. Some meals feel like a warm hug, and a warm bowl of steaming hot ramen is one of them. The steam rising is relaxing, and the broth warms you from the inside out. There's a certain satisfaction of slurping the noodles, and as we approach autumn and spooky season, it's just about time to get slurping! Ramen just makes everything in the world seem lighter, cuter, and cozier. It reminds of the simple things to appreciate. And dogs fit into that category as well.

Our canine companions aren't called man's best friend for nothing. They're naturally comforting, and sometimes it's all you need when you come home after a long day. You might be exhausted and just want to crawl inside your bed, but your dog will still greet you and comfort you no matter what mood you're in. They'll get right into bed with you. Whatever happens outside of those moments drips away with the sound of the kettle on for ramen, and the breathing and panting of your dog snuggling you. They give us the emotional benefits of love and companionship, along with canine silliness and devotion that most people can't match to. There's no hashing it out with your dog and there's no clean up in the kitchen after your ramen is ready to eat. Not every bad mood needs something elaborate to mitigate the feeling. Ramen comes in many different flavors, and so do dogs. There's plenty of good things in life if we keep an open mind and heart.
