Pet Pampering? Home with my brother Anthorne, at the time we were watching television. The door opened behind us and we turned around, without hesitation he said, “Jevonie, you and Anthorne come outside”! We scurried. While we were outside, he said, you perceive anything. “Nope”, I replied. My father didn’t say anything else, we all walked through the section of the house where there is no roof. We tacitly followed him, but suddenly he lifted up a plywood from his homemade bridge. As the kids we
Throughout, my community has been going through a problems that needs to be acknowledged. Many communities go through domestic violence, drug abuse, school, and other things. One issue that affects my community and I is pet ownership and abuse. As a matter of fact, animal abuse is a nationwide issue that happens every day. Pets are left behind or tortured without food or great care. However, most pet abuses happens in both rural and urban economy. When it happen they are never reported
Scholastic’s Scope Magazines have had their fair share of interesting article, and that includes one from a recent edition. The story, “Should You Clone Your Pet?” by Robert Matson, is about animal cloning, specifically your pets, and the pros and cons. So from that article the question arises; should you or should you not clone your beloved dead pet? For the longest time, in our history and modern times, people have thought of animals as friends and even sometimes sacred beings. Cloning would allow
Pets have always been a big part of my family for a while; specifically full breed pit bulls. Having these pets inspired me to take on the career of a Veterinarian. I have known what I wanted my career to be since the fourth grade. Then while exploring different occupations, I begin to make presumptions about what I want to be in life. However, that quickly changed once I experienced one of the most impressionable moments of my life. In late 2012, early 2013, my parents announced to my siblings and
Keil Fehlberg ~ 11-28-2016 I sat down to interview my father, soon to find out how intrigued I was about my dad’s stories. It was late at night, about 7:00 PM. I had asked my dad if I could interview him, and he excitedly accepted. We sat down on the leather, red couch and I slipped out my interview questions. I decided ahead of time to write the questions I was going to write about. I chose to ask about his interactions with his childhood pets, so I then looked him in the eye and asked him. One
To many, a pet is much more than an animal that lives in the same house as them. A pet is more than a nuisance with fur that one has to feed and care for. For most, a pet is another family member. A pet is a constant companion that is there to play, cuddle, and bring one joy. One always remembers their first pet. They remember how their pet was always there to comfort them when their own world seemed to be falling apart. Sadly, one also remembers when their first pet died. How when they left
Speech Should exotic animal ownership be legal? Two years ago in fourth grade I had a field trip to the zoo, we got to see so many exotic animals. Everyone had so much fun my class saw lions, wolves, coyotes, tigers, bears, monkeys and many more. We spent the entire day there, looking at all the animals. I took out my camera and I took a picture of a mountain lion. I always look back at that picture and think of how peaceful the lion was. I read an article called “ let people own exotic
Adeline Yen Mah is a depressing story for many reasons. She is not loved by her parents, her beloved pet died, and she was always being shipped somewhere new. Adeline was never loved, even when she needed it the most. For example, “It was getting late, and everyone had forgotten me” (Yen Mah 27). This proves that no one in her family had bothered to pick her up from school from school that day. Adeline had no one to show her the way home. Another example is “Father and Niang would never come to
Animals are pets and friends; we help them, and they help us. In “Pet Therapy” by Julie Rovner, a pony named Happy helped a boy with autism by horseback riding with him every day. His speech improved, and he was able to say full sentences. In "My Life With the Chimpanzees” by Jane Goodall, the chimpanzees helped Goodall learn more about them, and by helping Goodall, the chimpanzees gave them food that they liked. And in Hachiko: “The True Story of a Loyal Dog”, by Pamela S. Turner, Kentaro, a young
certainly seeing the affect my grandfathers death had on my grandmother shaped some of my ideas not only of grief, she was never the same, she did not laugh as much and the light in her eyes was not as bright, but it also shaped some of my ideals about romantic love. To the day she died - 28 years after my grandfather - my grandmother kept all of her checks and official documents titled “Mrs. Willis Goodrich”, and she never removed her wedding ring. The death of my Uncle Forest was the first time
