As the World Turns

My husband and I have been married for a little over 15 yrs and have been together for 17. During our marriage we have had 3 children together and my husband has 1 son from his previous marriage. So we have 4 children total. Our oldest son is 18. He is having a rough life so far. He was diagnosed with ADD when he was a young child and has always had problems with discipline so he has of course had problems with staying in school. He made it to high school and with only 5 months left to graduate, got expelled for threatening a teacher. Ultimately, he chose not to live with us and went back to California. He is currently in a half-way house working on getting his GED and trying to get a job. Our second oldest, is our 13 year old daughter. She is the creative one and the one we like to call the “drama queen”. She can really be an artist some day because she can draw almost anything free-hand. Her favorite is to draw anime characters. She is an awesome artist. She also likes to act. She’s taken drama in school and is taking Advanced Drama this next school year. Next up is my 9 year old son. The only thing he likes to do is play games on the Xbox 360 and that’s pretty much it. He hates doing homework and fights me every step of the way to get it done. He tells me he will do much better when he gets into 5th grade this year. We will see. And last, our youngest daughter who is 7 yrs old. She is a sweetheart. She is a very caring little girl and is always thoughtful of other people. She concerned for other people and always wants to know if they are ok. However, sometimes she can be EXTREMELY emotional over little things and cries over silly things. We are working with her on that. But she is so adorable. My kids have their little flaws but I love them unconditionally and wouldn’t want them any other way.

Choosing a dog can be hard work, but it’s very important to pick a dog that best suits your needs. Most people in today’s world would love to own a dog, but they are most definitely a big task to take on. Below are some things to consider when you’re looking to choose the right breed of dog for you:
1. Size – Size is very important when picking a dog. If you have a small home, you may want a smaller dog. If you have a home that has a lot of land, a larger active dog may suit best. If you have children, you will want to take this into consideration.
2. Purpose – You’ll also need to decide what the purpose of the dog will be. Will it be a working dog, or just a family dog for everyone to enjoy? Will your pup like the dog Christmas stocking you get him? This will greatly sway your answer.
3. Training – Last but not least, training. Some dogs train easier than others, so you will need to look at the amount of time you have to put forth to training your dog.

My dog, Booger, was the best dog ever for so many reasons. She was a handsome short-haired dog, a coffee-with-cream color, with darker brown around her soulful eyes. She was probably a mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback, Boxer, and Heinz57, weighed 61 pounds. She was well-proportioned, muscular and strong without being boxy or overly active. As a companion, she was delightful. Her friendly and affectionate nature endeared her to nearly everyone she met. She would come close to the people she liked and lean against their leg, then turn her face up, as if to say, “Wouldn’t you love to pet me now?” She was easily trained to heel without a leash, and went with me everywhere. When it’s cold she likes to wear dog jackets and coats. She was fierce around other dogs, and whenever she was briefly left in the car. In the fenced yard at home, she would routinely bark when strangers came to the porch, a good watchdog who never barked for no reason, nor excessively. Booger died a little over two years ago, after a long struggle with a cancer in her mouth and jaw. She will never be forgotten.

Across the entire length and breadth of the animal world, dog is the only animal which could sense the feel of others. Dogs could be best ever made partners for human. It has the capacity of safe guarding the home by its cleverness.  In the range of puppies, it is very much attracted by kids. There are several breeds among the dogs. The exotic and indigenous breeds are available. I am also dog lover.  I rear an exotic breed of Pomeranian, who loves dog sweaters. My 8 years old daughter treats it as her dearest friend. She use to wash the dog daily and use the anti lice creams to evade the small insects from the fur of dog. She used to play with it for hours together. She uses the dog jackets to safeguard from external temperature vagaries. It shows its gratitude by waving its tail.
