Throughout my life, my family has had many dogs but none that I could call my own. That was something that I had been wanting for as long as I can think of. My family has had a variety of dogs anything from a dachshund also known as a wiener dog named Levi, to a mutt who’s name was Taylor, to a mini Doberman pinscher named buddy, and a chug, which is a Chihuahua and pug mix named Romeo. Each of these dos had a very different personality’s Levi the wiener dog, used to be my grandma’s pet but not long after she got him she passed away, so we began taking care of Levi. However, I did not grow close to him because it also got sick and passed away not long after that. Then, the next animal we got was a mixed breed puppy from a shelter she was named Taylor her I was very close to we basically grew up together but around the time I turned thirteen she passed away why my family was off at the beach for a vacation. But about 8 months before she died, my sister and her boyfriend were having problems and she came back home for about three months and she brought her dog with her. It was a one year old miniature Doberman pincher named Buddy, at the time my sister was working at a doctor’s office and was gone from 7 am to around 5 pm so during the day Buddy spent most of his time with my mom and her and him grew very attached to her and she grew very attached to him. When my sister and her boyfriend got back together and my sister was moving back to his house my mom said that he was not allowed to go back with her, she said that her and buddy had grown to close to each other. My sister agreed to let him stay at our house, but he only likes my mom and no one else! Buddy is very mean to everyone except for my mom, one time it tried to bite me ...

...ays. I discipline her if she does something wrong. I don’t hit her! I just scold her. I know scolding still sounds mean but I don’t hit her I just raise my voice so she knows what she done was wrong.
From the mistake that I made I have made, I have come to realize that you do not have to hurt anyone or anything you just have to lead them in the right direction, it might take more than one try it might take twelve heck it might even take a hundred. But as long as you are consistent in your doings then you will be successful in teaching not to do wrong. There is no reason to hit anyone so why does so many people abuse there animals, maybe their angry, too much of a temper, or maybe their lonely either way all animals should be treated good. No animal deserves abuse and neither does any human. I have not hit her since that and I won’t ever again!
As a young child many of us are raised to be familiar with the Pocahontas and John Smith story. Whether it was in a Disney movie or at a school play that one first learned of Jamestown, students want to believe that this romantic relationship really did occur. As one ages, one becomes aware of the dichotomy between fact and fiction. This is brilliantly explained in David A. Price's, Love and Hate in Jamestown. Price describes a more robust account of events that really did take place in the poorly run, miserable, yet evolving settlement of Jamestown, Virginia; and engulfs and edifies the story marketed by Disney and others for young audiences. Price reveals countless facts from original documents about the history of Jamestown and other fledgling colonies, John Smith, and Smith's relationship with Pocahontas. He develops a more compelling read than does the typical high school text book and writes intriguingly which propels the reader, to continue on to the successive chapters in the early history of Virginia.
Thesis: In his well-researched and interesting to read book Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community and War, Nathaniel Philbrick covers a span of 55 years of the Puritans voyage from Europe to North America and the at times symbiotic and often volatile relationship they develop with the Native Americans. It is the story of people whose actions and beliefs shaped the country that the United States became.
The doings generally take place by the parent. Hitting a child or anyone with an object is always considered physical abuse. Adrian Peterson does not reflect himself as a child abuser but, hitting a toddler with an object tells others otherwise. “The football star said he disciplined his son the way he was disciplined by his own parents, and credited his success to the style of upbringing.” (Alter, 2014). As an individual, people tend to think this method worked and helped for them, but that does not mean it will work also for their child. A 4-year-old child know right from wrong. When it comes to chastisement, they should not be beaten to where marks, scratches and bruises are visible. SHARPLES TIFFANY
William Bradford and John Smith’s two pieces both convey America as a place to escape the European world but completely fail to contain congruency on what early America was like in this time period.
What as friends? Charles Kingsley has said, “It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.” In the book A Man for All Seasons, Sir Thomas More--a great and wise nobleman, and his “friends” reflect the meaning of Charles Kingsley’ quote.
practise, if someone hurts you once let them do it a secong time is the message
When I was young, I would fight with my siblings, mainly my older brother. We would get into fights, real physical fights even at a young age. However, he wasn’t the only one I would fight with. I have two younger sisters each one year apart and one or two years younger than me. When I was a lot younger, I always had that short fuse my father had. Any argument I got into always ended in me hitting or hurting someone. I remember seriously hurting my sister one time to the point where I almost got kicked out of my house. That was when I was 14. I’ve learned to control my anger a lot since then and believe I have grown out of that stage but I still worry about that anger coming back. I’m in a good relationship now and I have gotten in arguments with her but I have never laid a finger on her. I think men who hit their girlfriends are lowest of the lows.
You have to teach them what they did wrong so they know not to do it anymore. Killing them isn't going to teach them anything. They have to learn. Dogs can be caring and loving you just have to teach them that what they did was wrong. If the human does something to make the dog bite them then they had a right to bite them.
As a kid, I fell in love with the idea of getting a puppy for Christmas. Wrapped in a small box with a bow on top sitting under the tree just like the movies and tv shows I had seen. I can remember making a Christmas list of all the things I wanted that year, and every year the same thing that I wanted had said “puppy” with it underlined so that my mother knew which was my favorite on the list. Every year no surprise, I didn’t find a dog. I never understood why I never received one. When the kids at school talked about the few dogs they had at home made me so jealous, but I hoped that one day it would be me to have my own best friend at home.
Most parents believe that spanking their children is the most effective way to punish them because it was the standard method of discipline when they were young. However, Michael J. Mackenzie of Columbia School of Social Work states that “[spanking] gives the immediate feedback that it’s working. But the goal is to have kids regulate themselves over time. And in that, spanking fails”. I believe parents hit their children in the heat of the moment, and there are far more constructive methods of teaching children the difference between right and wrong, such as rewarding them for good behavior and making sure they know when they’ve made a
Owning a Pet Having a pet is a wonderful idea! Pets bring companionship, personality, and gut wrenching humor to households across the world. Having previously owned both a cat and a dog, and currently being without a pet, I began to think about getting a new furry friend. Born a dog lover, and bred into a cat lover, I had the difficult decision of choosing one of the two. When I was twenty-two years old, I answered an advertisement in the paper for free Labrador puppies.
There is a lot of violence in the world today, but think about this: what if these people were once beaten and physically abused as children? In the article, Parents and Experts Split on Spanking, an expert, Dr. Spock, states that the reason there is a lot of violence in the world could be because of all the spanking that the parents do to their children (1). This statement could possibly be true. As children grow up, they’re always told that it is not nice to hit others. Furthermore, they’re told that if they do, there will be consequences. But if you think about it, how are these children suppose to follow the “no hitting” rule if they are constantly being spanked for their misbehaviors? In the end, it leads me to believe that if children are spanked after misbehaving, they will continue to grow up believing that violence is ultimately the answer.
Physical punishment has been a problem in hitting their children so they can have discipline or not hitting them because it is not right, so what can parents do and what can they not do? Should the parents hit them to learn discipline, or should they not hit them and figure out another way to make them learn what discipline is?
When I started hanging out with Anthony I met Pancake first (her nickname is Patty or Pattycake). I was really scared of her when I first saw her because she was a big dog and all the pets we have at home are small so I wasn’t used to her size. She didn’t bark at me she just wanted to jump on me and always smell me. After awhile I would pet her more and more and then I wouldn’t mind her being all up on me. When you first look at her she looks kind of silly because her bottom teeth just stick out. I don’t know what kind of dog she is but I love the way her fur looks. Junior didn’t come along till later, Anthony’s mom bought junior from a friend and he is a smoky grey Pitbull. They got junior before they moved houses so he was still a baby. Now he is 5 months. A week ago he got out of the gate and he was lost for about two days but then we found him thankfully. Junior likes napping with Anthony’s mom, he loves eating fruit loops and he loves Pattycake. I love his fur color and how he is so tiny right now. I know he is going to get a little bigger and right now he is going through a teething stage which is cute but it has the yard tore up. Both of these dog are wonderful and I love that they are so sweet and playful. Even though they are not my dogs I still cherish
Friendships are one of the most important things you can get out of life. It’s something that everyone has to have because without it we would all go insane. Just think if no one talked to each other and we never made friends, this world would be a ticking time bomb. Studies say human need friendships and love to survive. So friendship is a big part of your life.
