Cruel Chicken Factories

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).

They are strong- willed and are suitable for a family with children. They are happy- go lucky and loving. They are easy to train. They are playful and rambunctious. They get along with other dogs and people. You have to be sure to be the leader, because if you're not they will become the leader themselves. They make good watchdogs, because they are always alert. They suffer from hip dysplesia, inflammation of the brain and meninges, hemivertebrae, Pharyngeal Gag Reflex, Demodectic mange, eye injuries,obesity and overheating. Males get to 12-14 inches in height and 13-20 pounds in weight. Females get 10-12 inches in height and 13-18 pounds in weight. They are good for urban living. They need walks daily. The more exercise the better health the dog will be in when he/she gets older.They live 12-15 years old. The pug is one of the oldest breeds known today. 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. If you think this would be your perfect pup, go look for one today!!!

Three Dogs

So, now we have three dogs:Roxy, Wally and the new puppy, Boomer. You may think we're crazy, THREE DOGS!!We now have a pack!! They are all great dogs. Roxy will be my project dog and Wally will be Eectroman's project dog. Boomer is too young to be a project dog, but he is a fast learner. Here are some pictures of the three pups.

Nevada Sky

I thought I would share some pictures of the sky at the end of the day.

Sweater Dogs

Wally in his sweater




Roxy in her sweater.

Well, let me just say that it's been cold outside. We have had some snow. The temperatures have been 40 degrees and below. I started feeling bad for the pups. They are used to Hawaii weather and have never seen snow or been in the cold. Yes I bought Roxy a sweater. B bought Wally a sweater. It took me the longest time to find poor Roxy a sweater. I bought her three sweaters. Finally she has one that fits. The first sweater was too small. The second sweater was too big and had pockets that fell apart. Her third one finally fits. They were so happy when we put on their new sweaters. It was pretty funny to watch.

I am a Dog

This picture is not mine.

I made this poem up one day. I thought I would share:

I am a dog. Don't leave me in the fog.

I have no fear when you are near.

But when you leave me in the rain it brings me much pain.

I will fall for my ball.

I want to chase a squirrel. I guess I'll give it a whirl.

I need you and never want to leave you.

When I bug you it's just because I love you.

I bark because I want to go to the park.

So don't beat me. Just treat me.

I am a dog.

Roxy and Her Ball

Roxy with her ball.

"I will stare at this ball until it moves."

"I caught the ball!!!"

Roxy catching her ball.

Roxy loves to play fetch. When you play fetch with her you are most likley not going to stop throwing the ball. If you don't play ball with her, she will play by herself. She'll bounce it on the floor over and over again. She will bring the ball to you again and again until you throw it.If you still don't throw it she will howl and wag her tail { which is to move her entire body}. If you say the word"ball" she gets crazy. Roxy will go find her ball and bring it over to you.

Th Guard Dog And The Caretaker

Wally licking Roxy clean.

Roxy guarding the house.

Roxy is our guard dog.She will bark at every noise that doesn't sound right. She will also bark at anyone who passes our house that we don't know. Wally is the caretaker of the house. He cleans Roxy when he thinks she's dirty. He licks our wounds trying to heal us. He cleans us too. You can just sit on the ground and he'll lick you clean. Roxy and Wally our great dogs to have.

Just Getting A Drink

"I drink from a bowl. The hose is too hard for me!"

"The hose is much more fun!"

When Roxy is outside, she won't drink out of a bowl. She has to drink out of the hose. It is pretty weird. I think that she likes the challenge of trying to drink the water as it's falling out of the hose. Wally, on the other hand, will not drink out of the hose. He has to have a bowl.

Waves

My family and I went to the beach. The cliff where we stood had great views of the waves. They were beautiful.I hope you enjoy these pictures of the waves!!

Roxy Snapshots

I was trying to get a picture of Roxy for the cover model search of a pet magazine. I realized when I was getting ready to enter one the date and time were at the bottom of the pictures. I couldn't enter them into the magazine because of this. I thought would share the pictures. I have entered her before. She was inside of the magazine, but not the cover.
