We 've all seen old Blue the basset hound traveling in the back of an open pick up truck or a canine friend hanging out of the window of a car trying to catch some of the multitude of intriguing sniffs that are whizzing by.

Back in 1994 Dr. Burns, a veterinarian, was frustrated by her cat that refused to drink any water unless it was running out of a faucet. She invented the Drinkwell Pet Fountain. The fountain serves up a filtered and free-falling source of water for days on end, making it perfect if you are going to be out of the house for a while. The fountain has a replaceable charcoal filter and holds over 2 gallons of …show more content…
Meeting different people from around the world is great. Being screamed because the airline lost someone 's luggage all while keeping a calm, hospitality smile plastered on my face..not so great. Here are just a few nuggets of wisdom from a check-in girl whose seen it all: 1.) A room with a view is not a Constitutional Right. I can 't count the number of times I 've had someone yelling at me through the phone because their room has no view. Listen, if being able to see outside is so important to you, please specify ahead of time or pay the fee associated with such a room. Or better yet, go outside and actually SEE the city. Are you intending on just sitting and looking out of your hotel window all day? 2.) Unless you want to go knock on doors, wake guests up, pack their luggage, and kick them out yourself an early check-in is close to impossible unless you call ahead. Sometimes when people travel they forget that thousands of other people are traveling, too. Yes, your boyfriend 's cousin 's wedding is important and you 'd like to get into your room early to straight-iron your hair but the hotel is full and unless you call ahead, you might be getting dressed in the lobby bathroom. 3.) Turn off your phone! In most cases, the entire check-in process takes less than a minute. We are trained that way. I know you secretly feel like a cyborg with your hands-free
Since the creation of fast food restaurants, there has been an increase in the consumption of meat which has caused a shift in the way food is produced, including the way animals are treated in factory farms. For many years factory farming has been part of life, which perhaps have led humans to be ignorant when it comes to factory farming because people so not want to admit that animals have feeling and emotions. Animals suffer their entire lives in both factory farms and slaughterhouses, animals are kept in small cages and pens with no access to the outside world. As a result, state and federal laws were created to protect animals from abuse, but they are rarely followed or enforced. Animal welfare was also established to enforce the well-being
Before considering possible solutions, it is important for one to understand the difference between pet dogs, strays, and free-roaming/feral dogs. Pet dogs are dogs who are kept in a household or on a property and regularly kept and cared for.
Public dog parks could be very essential to cities. Many people who own dogs have no where to take them, which does not give the dogs any exercise or social interaction. We should treat our pets as equal and satisfy their needs as much as our own.
For some, their pet is all that they have. People are never alone when at home with their pet because they are at home with family. Today, animals fill the void of loneliness that is felt by millions. When people come home after a long day, it’s their pet, or family, that brings them back. Their family will jump into their laps in excitement of seeing their loved one.
Would you like to try a dog limb with the salad? These are the exact word that I heard from the Korean air hostess when I was first traveling to the USA. I still remember she passed me a wrong serving plate. This incident really affects me a lot because I had never seen meat before in my life. It makes me think about how the meat industry is widely spread and how it is regulated by the governmental agencies. Factory farming is a system of rearing livestock using intensive methods by which poultry, pigs, or cattle are confined indoors under strictly controlled conditions. Today, factory farming dominates the U.S food production to fulfill the excessive demand of the peoples. Most of the factory farms are run by the giant corporations and their
“Vaccinating your dog has been considered one of the easiest ways to help him live a long healthy life.” So you have just witnessed an innocent pet die due to being unvaccinated, and you want to know how to prevent anything happening to your pet in the future? Maybe you saw a commercial on television about cheap pet prescriptions and or vaccinations’, and it made you research to make sure your pet has his or her proper vaccinations’. Maybe the family pet suddenly got sick and passed away and you’re confused as to how and why this has happened. Well, there is still hope because with the proper knowledge and resources, vaccinating your four-legged best friend is simple if you are serious about the issue. There is really only one way to prevent
You wake up in the hospital, look around, and find a doctor hovering nearby declaring that you have just suffered through a heart attack; affirming that if not for your dog, you would have died. You remember back to earlier that day: sitting on the couch, feeling a little off, hearing your dog barking, sensing him nudging you, going to the phone to call the ambulance, and having your dog by your side until you were safe inside the aluminum walls of the emergency vehicle. Although it sounds abnormal that a dog would be the one to save someone’s life, situations similar to the one above are not uncommon. Dogs and other household pets have been shown to be able to detect medical emergencies, including heart attacks and seizures, in their owners.
When I was little my teachers would ask me “Cora, What do you want to be when you grow up”? In reality, I couldn’t make up my mind on what I wanted to be ‘when I grew up’. When I was around seven, I went from wanting to be a Veterinarian to being an Astronaut, then back to a Veterinarian again. Around age 10, I wanted to be a dentist, even though I hate mouths. Then I wanted to be a Veterinarian again. Junior Year of high school came and when we started to research colleges and careers I heard that Premed programs were so hard to get into, and I wasn’t fooling anyone with my grades. I did some research on Veterinarians and I discovered that the Veterinarians don’t really handle the animals like I thought they did. Then I learned about Veterinary Technicians, they do so much with the animals. I
If one wants to live a more responsible, more active, and a healthier life style they should get a dog. Obtaining the previously mentioned qualities are great but gaining a best friend is even better. Dogs are intelligent animals and their personalities are one of a kind. With training, love, and patience any dog can become a great addition to one’s family. Adoption from an animal shelter is a great way to get a dog although there are adoption fees most of the money is being used to vaccinate the dog before its taken to its forever home. Buying a dog from a reputable breeder is another option as how one gets a dog. Reputable breeders usually guarantee a puppy’s health. One might have to go through a few more hoops to be able to buy a dog from
They say that a dog is a man’s best fried, but they don’t tell you about the overall cost, responsibility, or convenience about adopting one. Dogs are supposed to bring so much joy to a household, but sometimes they can only fill a void for a short amount of time. When a dog owner buys a dog, do they actually research the things that they are about to get in to? When I bought my dog, Skye, I never really looked into is issues; I just looked at the benefits. I love Skye to death, and I guess I could say that she also loves me to death. Even though someone rescuing a dog may think they are doing something great; they are causing an issue on how they will forever live their life.
Taken from the only place you've ever known. Away from the only family you have. Kept in crates and cages to be sold. Removed from their home, exotic animals are put in yours for personal amusement.This act is ruinous an inhumane, it violates the basic rights of human and animals. Exotic animals have a rightful place in their natural habitats, not as pets, because they endanger the community, become sick, and their owners abandon them.
There are the many differences and similarities between the most popular household pets, dogs and cats. These pets really do make a wonderful addition to the family; but, before you decide on which pet to bring home think about the different attention, grooming care, and bathroom usage for each of these pets, to make sure you are able to provide proper care for your pet. Having a pet is a lot of hard work, but in the long run it’s very
You will realize that a well-trained dog can fit anywhere it is taken. You can go with it for camping, hiking and so on. This is because it is not likely to be a nuisance to others.
Pets are all over the world, and a part of many people's everyday lives. After seeing my grandmas dog close to death about a week ago, it reminded me of how impacted I was when I lost a pet in the past. That’s when I realized that pets leave a very impactful mark on other people's lives. Then, I remembered not everyone has had pets in their lives due to various reasons like allergies and seeing them as dangerous. This led me to my research question; Should kids have pets in their lives? Weighing the options, I can see both sides to the question at hand. I was a child who grew up with pets by my side, but I also had been greatly harmed by one. When I was just a preschooler, I was critically bit by my own dog in the face, just inches away from a fatal vein in my neck. I still have the scar to this day, yet I still surround myself with animals everyday.
There are thousands of things I love, but vacation is on the number one list. Many times over the years I have taken vacation time; It was only a while back, when I realized how amaz-ing, and the great value it gives the sole and body. There have been times when I felt not wanting to leave my work, whether it’s financial problems or among other things. Other times I thought my work was at a decisive juncture and it wouldn 't get accomplished without me. All profession-als or employees know that the money does not just make itself unless they are there to make sure everything is going according to their policy. I know I am not alone in making excuses not to take a vacation. When I asked a couple of my co-workers, they also agreed on not even taking a week off for the entire year, some even included holidays.
