Billions of chickens are raised in factories each year in the U.S. Hundreds of millions of chickens never go outdoors. They live in dark, rank smelling egg factories. They are jammed together in tiny cages. They can't even stretch a wing. This is very sad. They are covered in sores and the eggs they lay go right onto a conveyor belt. They are never raised by their mothers, as a matter of the fact they never even knew them. They aren't allowed to live naturally. When we eat chickens we sometimes get the stomach flu because they lived in factories where they were not living healthily. So keeping them in these factories is not doing us any good. Turkeys, geese and ducks also live in these conditions. Thousands of chickens are being killed right now as you're reading this. Don't buy anything with real feathers. Chickens and other birds died for those items. Go to www.goveg.com to learn more about chickens. Also for information on factory farmed chickens go to: www.fawn.me.uk/ , Farm Animal Welfare Network 's (FAWN) website. You can write to FAWN @ P.O box 40, Holmfirth HD9 3YY,UK. I know they are just chickens, but they are also a life. God created them to live a happy life on earth and He created us to care for them, not kill them. So please help the chickens today!!!

Help Fight Dog Fighting App "Dog Wars"
The ASPCA is strongly against the dog fighting app "Dog Wars". It glorifies dog fighting which is illegal in real life. Players inject their dogs with steroids, bet virtual money and shoot cops during a bust. The ASPCA needs OUR help to get rid of this app. I personally think it is wrong and I don't know why soemone would want to play this game. At the same time though, people play violent games and enjoy it for some reason. Go to www.aspca.org to sign the petition to fight the dog wars app. It should be under news at the top of the page. The ASPCA needs YOUR help.

I was outside the other day and we were working on the gardens when I had the chance to take a few pictures of the puppies in a wheelbarrow. Wally and Boomer like to go for rides in the wheelbarrow,when there's nothing in it of course. Here's some cute pictures of Wally and Boomer in the wheelbarrow.I don't know if I have mentioned this yet, but Boomer is our new puppy. He's a pughuahua(pug/chihuahua mix).

I used to have a purebred pug and I have a pug mix toady. They are awesome dogs and are little clowns at times. They are great family pets, but need to be socialized at young age as any dog.
