When looking for a new puppy, it’s human nature to pick out the cutest dog. While this may seem logical, potential pet owners need to take into account not only the physical attributes of the animal but also the breed’s personality. Pet owners need to consider their lifestyles before making the decision to buy a puppy. Families will chose a golden retriever but have no time to play with it and then just leave it locked up or it will tear up their house. This is unfair to the dog and the owners.…

Irresponsible Breeding of our Canine Friends In this day and age of the modern and impatient, society has forsaken our most loyal companions.

This is due to the impetuous actions of the individuals and people among society and their failure to educate themselves on how to properly care for their animals. We live in a society with an enormous census of unwanted and excessively bred animals for a…

We had very few soccer games during our season due to the lack of sign ups. Our second to last game of the season was today and the girls and I had heard the other team was tough. That night I eagerly ran into the soccer field and already saw about ten girls from the other team there. They did not seem tough to me just intimidating. Not all the girls on my team had gotten to the field except for Kassie and me. We were waiting for the others when we noticed a bus pull into the parking lot. More…

According to the American Kennel Club, the German Shepherd is an “all-purpose” service dog. They are generally large in size, swift, intelligent, and powerful. The ancestry of the German Shepherd, much like that of many canines, was originated from “herding and farm dogs.” The association of the German Shepherd to man was comradeship and service. German Shepherds are known for their “loyalty, courage, and ability to assimilate…” The successful training of this canine should yield well-ordered…

Picture this: a world where everyone looks exactly the same--ridden with birth defects, religion has disappeared because people can control their environment with a simple insertion or deletion of a gene, and no one is sure of the future because every couple years, a virus that was supposed to harmlessly alter genes mutates to harmfully cause a deadly epidemic. Sound familiar? Maybe not yet, but at the rate we 're going, the world isn 't far away from the scenario just described due to the…

In the United States of America, borders act as boundaries between both states and cultures. Additionally, boundaries in America stand between itself, and other countries, specifically Mexico. Borderlands, according to its definition, are…

with his left hand and forced me to look into his eyes. After much fight against him, I was surprised to see that he was full of sorrow and regret. He was trembling with regret. I was very confused, especially when he leaned down shaking like a chihuahua to gently kissed my forehead. A sweet bit of bliss ran from the kiss to my veins and all throughout my body. He started to cry and as he was unlatching me from the table I realized what was going…

He never stopped to wonder if anyone was behind him. My bright and completely theoretical idea was that he probably already knew I was following him, and didn’t care to question that fact. He was striking, in the sense that he stood out amongst those in a crowd of average tastes. He took on a sort of "punk-rock" look, with a badass leather jacket and half-calf lace up boots. His face had enough piercings and retro jewelry on it to smelt into a two liter can of diced pineapple, though actually,…
