So My Dogs are Complete Assholes...
I decided to sit down and write this piece because I'm at my wit's end with my dogs. Simply put, they're complete assholes. Both of them. To me and to each other. Let me give you their backstories before I tell you why they're jerks.

Lola
I have a Pit bull-Boxer named Lola. She just turned four in October 2017. She is still as innocent and as happy as she was before she was even fully grown. She loves to stick by my side all the time. When I'm sitting on the couch, she's curled up right next to me snoring, or she's flopped with her head on my lap. When it's bed time, she's either snuggled on my mom's bed or on my bed. She loves to lay very close too! When we go outside in the backyard, she loves to either run laps around the garage, or chase her toy when it's thrown for her. She'll even swing her toys around and throw them herself sometimes! On walks, she's extremely curious and loves to smell everything and gets excited when she sees other dogs or people or anything. Lola loves people, she even gets excited when she has to take trips to the vet. While waiting in the little room, she's always very wiggly and talkative. She sits like a good girl, but still gets fidgety and has problems sitting still when the vet comes in to see her.

The Participation Trophy and How It's Ruining Everything
I'm not a dad yet, but I'm going to be soon. I do have nieces and nephews and I see children out in the world. It's kind of made me afraid to be a dad. It seems like every time I leave the comfort of my own home, I'm confronted with the behavior of some spoiled little asshole. You all know what I'm talking about. It might even be your kid! Before people get offended, I want to make it clear that I don't place sole blame on parents for this. I blame the direction our society has gone in and is still going in.

Healing From a Toxic Parent. Top Story - November 2017.
A toxic parent, by definition, is someone whose negative behaviour inflicts emotional damage on a child's sense of self. This negative behaviour can come in many forms (emotional, physical, ect...) but regardless of how the behaviour manifests itself, it can go on to affect a child throughout their entire life.

Autism & Us
I have two daughters, aged 4 and 6, both diagnosed with autism, with the youngest (Lilah) also having OCD and pica. At the moment, Sophie is non verbal, though spouts random words and nods her head at every question. Lilah has just started to say “do want” “I want” “yes I want...(insert item)” and has come on very well with her communication in these past few months.
