I’m a HUGE fan of dogs.
They’re loyal, lovable, and, remember, we are the most important things in their lives. So it’s important that you ALWAYS go out of your way to show your pooch some love, even when you’re having a particularly bad day.
Let’s enjoy some great dog memes together and after you’re done, go give your best friend a belly rub!
How cute!

Movies and TV shows are not real, but it’s still pretty darn annoying when we see things in them that are totally unrealistic.
You know you see these kinds of things all the time, right?
A funny Twitter thread saw users speaking out about the things that they consider very annoying when it comes to how real life is inaccurately portrayed on TV and in the movies.
Let’s take a look.
That is kinda weird.
What, if anything, can ruin a tv show/film for you?

Never said this in my life.
Brothers and sisters calling each other ‘bro’ and ‘sis’ so that audiences understand their relationship. I’ve never called my brother bro. He’s never called me sis. Two brothers might be more natural as men say ‘bro’ sometimes anyway… other than it PISSES ME OFF.
