Pollution is getting really bad today.The air is filled with bad gases;burning fuels,carbon dioxide,insufficient oxygen,sulfur dioxide,nitrogen dioxide,hydrocarbons,and carbon monoxide.Carbon Monoxide is a very poisonous gas.It shortens the life of humans and animals.Humans breathe in the pollution and it gets into their lungs.Then,it puts stress on the heart.That is how many people get heart disease.It affects animals in the same way.
If we try to make pollution stop,the air can get cleaner. God put us here for a reason,to look after the Earth,plants and animals. If we are destroying it then we are disobeying Him. In the Bible it explains this,"Let us make man in our image,after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea ,and the birds of the air and, over the cattle ,and over every creeping creature among the Earth." Genesis 1:26. If humans are selfish and don't think about the planet and every living thing on it,we will have a disaster.We need to be smart and make the air cleaner. We need to do the job that God gave us.
The main sources of air pollution are cars,electric power plants,and dumps.We need to follow God's Word.We can't eliminate all pollution,since we are the source of the pollution.We can all make an effort to change things in our own lives.
Here is how I can stop pollution. I will not use unnecessary power. I can ride my bike instead of a car if my destination is not far away. I can spread the word and let other people know about what is happening to the environment.I hope that others will join me and help out.

Stray's Prayer
A Stray's Prayer:
"Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair.
My body is aching, it's so racked with pain,
and dear God I pray, as I run in the rain.
That someone will love me and give me a home,
a warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone.
My last owner tied me all day in the yard
Sometimes with no water, and that was hard.
So I chewed my leash, and I ran away.
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But now I'm tired and hungry and cold,
and I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old.
They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones,
while I run the streets just looking for bones!
I'm not really bad, please help if you can,
or I have become just a 'Victim of Man!'
I'm wormy and I'm ridden with fleas,
and all that I want is an Owner to please!
If you find one for me , I'll try to be good,
and I won't chew their shoes, and I'll do as I should.
I'll love them, protect them and try to obey....
when they tell me to sit, to lie down or to stay!
I don't think I'll make it too long on my own,
cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone.
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry,
cause I'm so afraid that I'm gonna die.
And I've got so much love and devotion to give,
that I should be given a new chance to Live!
So dear God, please answer my prayer,
and send me someone who will REALLY care"

Family Dog
The family's dog was bought to guard. Chained to a post in a chilly backyard.Housed in a shed that was airless and dark, and every few weeks had a run in the park.When boredom set in with no fun and work,One day it broke loose and went quietly berserk.Pa couldn't fathom just why it went wild.As it flattened his wife and then bit his child.The police were called to sort out the mess.And the whole sorry story was revealed in the press.The rescue society was really annoyed,So the dog was re-homed, and the owners destroyed.
This poem tells how bad chaining a dog is. You should take care of it properly.What's the sense in having a dog if you have it in the backyard or in the garage chained? Please be respectful to your dog,community,and neighbors and take care of your dog the correct way. Poem found at http://www.wolfweb.com/

Look me over!!!
You should look over your new companion before you make your decision. You want to make sure you get a healthy pet. Here are some things to look for when you are buying from a breeder.
1.The puppy's eyes should be clear,no discharge or excessive tearing.
2.The coat should be shiny,no hair loss,sores,or redness.
3.The ears should be clean.If you see the pup shaking his head or pawing his ears he probably has ear mites.
4.There should be no discharge from the nose.Beware of dogs that are coughing or sneezing.
5.Do a flea check.
6.Pup's gums should be pink and his teeth should be straight.
7.Diarrhea is a bad sign. Make sure there is no diarrhea around.

Amazing Gracie
I have finished the book Amazing Gracie.Written by Mark Beckloff and Dan Dye. This is a true story. It is 247 pages long. Here is a little bit about the book:
Gracie was a half-blind and fully deaf Great Dane. She was the only puppy left and was going to b e put down because no one liked her,even her mother didn't like her. When Dan Dye heard about her at work from his friend at work,he went to go check her out. She came right up to him as if she was begging him to take her home. He said that he would take her. The breeder was trying to get hm not to buy her because of her problems,but he didn't care.He brought her home and "the girls" a dalmatian and a black lab didn't get along with her.They kept trying to hurt her. Mark showed them who was boss and they stopped and became best friends. Gracie became "one of the girls." Then Gracie became picky and wouldn't eat.she was becoming really skinny. When Dan's friend from work said that he should make homemade dog food,he thought it was a good idea,but one problem he didn't know how to cook.After a lot of practice he became a great chef for the girls. Dan's friend Mark suggested that they make a dog bakery together. Dan was shocked,but then noticed that this was a good idea. So they bought an old bakery that no one was using. It had all of the tools that are needed for baking built-in. They named it the Three Dog Bakery. Some people thought they were crazy by making a bakery for dogs. At the same time people thought it was a great idea.Once there was this little deaf boy.Gracie layed on the floor and comforted him,she was making a weird humming sound too. The boy's mother was crying because it was so sweet. Gracie became old and had a hard time walking. She had to throw herself down in order to lay on the floor. When she could no longer walk the vet came to put her down.She died at age 10. The vet had been with her from the start and called her a little miracle and a little miracle she was. They got a new Great Dane named Claire she was half-blind and deaf also. She had a little bit of time with Gracie and was sad about her. She tried to play with Gracie and realized she was gone. Claire gave Gracie the toy they played with together.
I enjoyed this book because it tells how a dog with so many problems can make things change in a lonely person's life.It also tells about the companionship between man and dog,Man's Best Friend.

Psalm 23-A Psalm of David
I have been studying the Psalms in Bible. This is the Psalm of trust. It is one of the most loved Psalm.
Psalm 23
The Divine Shepherd. A Psalm of David.
The Lord is my Shepherd,i shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;he leads me beside still waters;He restores my soul.
He leads me in the right paths for his names sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley I fear no evil;for you are with me; your rod and your staff-they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
In this Psalm, David is telling God that he is the lamb and God is the shepherd. God watches over him and makes sure that he is safe. God leads him to the right path. David doesn't have to fear evil because God is with him. He can go through the darkest valley and still have no fear.
When I read this Psalm, I feel safe knowing God is with me too.
The Last Dog On Earth
I just finished reading the book The Last Dog On Earth. It is 233 pages long. The author is Daniel Ehrenhaft. I enjoyed this book because it was full of action. It also showed how an ugly mutt/shelter dog ,can change someones life and the world. Here is a little bit about the book.
Logan Moore is always getting made fun of and no one really likes him. His step dad, Robert, is mean to him. One day Logan tried one of his inventions at the Wallace's house, a rich family on the block, and it broke many of their things. Mr. Wallace and Robert were mad at him. Robert said that taking on the responsibility of a dog would be his punishment.
Robert wanted purebred Chocolate Lab like the Wallace's but Logan didn't. He wanted to save a life at the shelter. Without discussing it with Robert, Logan's mom took him to the shelter to pick out a dog. He was looking at the dogs and there was an ugly, crazy dog. She couldn't find a home because she didn't like anyone, until Logan. He named her Jack because Robert wanted a boy dog and he wanted it to be named Jack. She wasn't a boy,but her name stayed the same. Logan borrowed a lot of books from the library on how to train dogs. He trained her well.All though she ruined all of Robert's stuff and urinated in his bathroom. Robert didn't like Jack at all. He threw a big fit about her.
There was a terrible disease going around the town. It was called POS otherwise known as Phsycotic Outburst Syndrome. Every dog was catching this disease. When they would become infected they would just lay there until disturbed. Then they would stumble and would begin to foam at the mouth. After that,blood would start to drip out of their mouths because they were bloodthirsty. Then they would attack. What was worse humans could contract this disease too. If a human was bit they would have to go straight to the hospital. All the people could do was shoot the dogs. They even had lessons on how to do it properly.
Logan and Jack were at the store and the store manager made his diseased dog attack them. Logan exploded a spray in the microwave to stop the dog. The manager called Robert and he was furious. Logan was sent to Boot Camp and had to leave Jack behind. The people at Boot Camp were mean and were getting him into trouble. They were called maggots. Logan ran away as soon as he could. While Logan was gone,Jack was kept in the basement . She was starving .She dug out of the basement and ran 40 miles to see Logan. Jack was attacked by two dogs. Both dogs were infected with POS. She was seriously injured, but didn't catch POS. Logan's real Dad,Dr. Westerly, found them and took them to his place. He was a scientist and tested Jack for POS and found out she was immune. She was the only dog that was immune and were able to make a cure from her. Jack was almost shot by Rudolph Stagg, a diseased human,but Logan dived in front of the gun and was shot. He went to the hospital to recover. A few days later Rudolph Stagg died from POS. They couldn't heal Jack's wounds because she was so injured. When Logan recovered they had to put Jack down.
In the story, Jack was a hero to all of the people and dogs. Logan was sad to see Jack go. He said he would never forget her and for the first time in along time he was able to cry. Jack was only one year old when she died. They made a cure and everyone was healed.
