The love one has for animals begins at a young age. The typical American family adds a furry friend, most often a puppy, for the children to grow older with. As the children and dog grow older, an unconditional love develops; after coming home from school the dog will always be there to greet the kids with its tail wagging enthusiastically and smiling from ear to ear. As much as I wanted to have a life growing up with a puppy, this was not the case for me.
My family has never been the family to own any pets because of our busy schedules and I had a hard time facing this reality because having a dog has been a lifelong goal of mine since I was a young boy. Generally when asking for something repeatedly, your parents give in and buy it for

I choose to go to the pet store and I tried my luck by asking my mom if I could have a guinea pig. Surprisingly, she agreed to letting me have a guinea pig under a few conditions - she is not responsible for paying for any of his food, cage, medical needs, and she will not watch him for me. I did not know much about guinea pigs, but I read about them to get an understanding. I agreed, immediately, without a thorough idea of anything she told me because this was my first pet, it he belonged to me. I named my new furry friend, Spike and from day one he was a big responsibility in my life. I woke up regularly to the sound of a high pitched squeal, a sign he was hungry and another sign I had to get up and feed him. For the first time in my life, I was solely responsible for the well-being of another life; a quite scary feeling. When the time came to go off to college, Spike came with me. My mom was actually serious when she said she would not look after Spike for me. Spike stayed with me during my first year of college and passed away on the first day of my second year. I enjoyed the time spent with him because he was my first ‘official’ pet and I learned how to be more responsible, budget money in order to buy his food, and think of someone other than myself. Spike brought comfort while being in an unfamiliar territory and he lived his purpose to get me where I …show more content…
Lexington, Kentucky is considered the horse capital of the world, furthermore the Kentucky Horse Park, Keeneland, and an abundance of horse farms are in close proximity, it would be an ideal choice to attend the University of Kentucky to obtain more hands on experience in different fields of the horse industry. Currently attending Morehead State University, roughly 60 miles from Lexington, I have frequently visited graduate school faculty whom have been essential in my choice of attending the school. I first established communication with Dr. Quentin Tyler, Assistant Dean and Director of Diversity for the College of Agriculture, via email and right away he was able to send me in the right direction of who I needed to speak with about attending the graduate school. I was able to arrange visits with Dr. Urschel and Dr. Lawrence in Equine Nutrition and they were able to answer many of my questions and if not, found someone to come answer my question. Persistence is a quality characteristic because, to me, it means someone is willing to find a solution when they might not know, instead of giving up and moving onto another topic. Dr. Harmon, Director of Graduate Studies, helped to give more specific information about admissions which the university website could not offer. He also recommended to apply for fellowships that
I have discovered the Graffiti writer Royal Dog real name; Chris Chanyang Shim came from Korea, which I find he produces meaningful projects. While he was growing up, since 2nd grade he liked drawing. Around 4th grade he learn Hip-Hop through a copy of ‘Hip Hop’, a manga that introduced him to b-boys and graffiti. He had an admiration for the culture. He was attending an art school and focused on drawing and animation at school until one day, he just started doing graffiti. At the time, graffiti was on the cultural radar and he wanted to represent a part of Hip Hop culture. Years latter Shim decided to travel across the US to search for new free space and atmosphere to paint. At his first stop in Bronx, New York, he painted his three favorite rappers, Jay-Z, T.I., and Big Pun. People reacted to the mural with enthusiasm, and Shim was soon invited to California to display his artwork further.
I'm writing this because some people won't even have a pit bull because of the bad raps they heard about them like they're vicious dogs, they're only fighting dogs when there not those bad things people say they are. The owner makes that dog a fighting dog. Pit bulls can be loving friendly, protective all these good things a should have
What I am going to talk about is in this paper is African wild dogs and hope you learn some facts about them. In my opinion, they are interesting and hope you think they are too. They very social also and they took good care of their pups. They are good and they are good hunters and let the pups eat before the parents or the aunts or uncles. They can give birth to 10-19 pups at one time.
Then I begged my mom and dad for a guinea pig for a long time. And after a long time of begging and telling them how responsible I was, my mom and dad finally broke down. They said, “ Fine, you can have a guinea pig, but you have to agree to take care of it.” “ Yes!” , I shouted. So my mom took me to the pet store to get the guinea pig a cage. We went to a pet store that was closing, so everything was ½ off . We got a large blue cage with a wire top, a wooden house, a metal food bowl, and a bunch of toys. Then the day after that we went to a different pet store to get the guinea pig. I ended up choosing a male, baby guinea pig.

The three guinea pigs waited curiously in a cardboard box in the car around the corner of McDonald’s. There was three of them, one male and two females. The first female had a white coat with black spots on it. She was very selfish and stubborn and would always try to eat all of the food. The second female had light brown spots and always crazy hair. She was the opposite of her sister, sweet and shy, except for when she was hungry. The only male had dark brown spots and always smooth hair. He was gentle and quiet and would never squeak unlike his two sisters. They were only a couple months old and they each had their own unique personalities, whether it was good or bad.
The continent of Africa is home to some of the most unique and fearsome creatures known to man. It ranges from giraffes and onyx to lions and tigers. However, with hunting and changes in environment, populations have begun to dwindle and species have become vulnerable and endangered. One of these species is the African Wild Dog, or Lycaon pictus. The population is becoming smaller, threatening the special species with extinction. It is a unique dog that has been known to run up to 44 miles per hour, and can be seen taking down prey much larger than itself (Creel, 2002). The African Wild Dog is a very unique creature in that it has its own behavior, population, community, and ecological interaction that is being threatened, but with the proper conservation efforts it can be saved for the future.

Unexpectedly as she approached, my sister showed a worried face as she held our pet guinea pig. His name was Ramiro, he and his guinea pig brother were our first pets ever. We had just gotten home after spending a whole morning garage sale hunting with our mom and brother. It was around 2:30 in the afternoon when we were experiencing something new, the loss of a member of our family. Although he was just a guinea pig, a big bond grew between him and our family. It was from that day December 7, 2012, that our lives changed, we sat petting our new pets as our dad turned a normal pet cage into a mansion. It was times where this tiny white furred body with spots finished obstacle courses and put smiles on our faces. When he rode in a custom remote

To begin with, I think we have all experience having a pet at home whether it was a cat or dog. We all know that these type of animals can be the most loving of all, they come in to your life when you least expect it. Sometimes it’s planned sometimes it’s not, it’s crazy how a dog can change your life in an instant. I was only 5 years old when I got my first dog, it was the biggest surprise of my life.

Having pets can bring more fun. Although animals are not as smart as human beings, most of them still have their own languages, behaviors and moods to show what they feel. People who have pets always believe that their pets can communicate with them by different ways. So taking care of pets brings a lot of special experiences witch are make people happy and optimistic. For example, when a puppy is taken back home, the lovely poor little thing begins to trust his host. The pet always wants to stay with his host. He can’t talk like a child but he try his best to let his host to pay attention to him. The puppy licks his host and shakes his tail all the time to show how much he love his host. When the host meet the lovely puppy after a crazy busy workday, he will be happy. It can be a different love from people. In most time,
Animals have been a part of my family's life before I was even born. According to my mother, we used to have two dogs by the names of Junior and Tiki. My family had a hard time opening up to the dogs apparently, as in Vietnam, my family had always been wary of them due to fear of rabies or other diseases that they were believed to have carried. However, when my uncle decided to bring them home, my older cousins ignored the warnings of their parents and embraced the little puppies.
