When I was in college, my mother and I had a kennel and raised puppies.  We had about 75 breeder dogs.  It used to anger me quite a bit for people to refer to us as part of the puppy mills that you would see in the news.  I personally have been to a puppy mill and couldn’t stand what I saw.  There are reputable breeders out there and we were one of them.  The adult dogs and the puppies were cared for as you would your family pets by us.  So if you are looking for a puppy, buy one from a breeder that will let you see the parents and not keep you from seeing the conditions the breeders are living in.  In fact, before long I am going to be looking for a puppy myself and trust me, I will check out the kennel before I purchase my puppy.

Oil prices are affecting everything in this day in time.  People have to do without some things they took for granted just last year so they can have the gas to go to work now.  The solution is not a simple one but I do believe that alternative sources of fuel are the key to help combat the ever rising price of gasoline.  I saw where they can use sorghum (which is what a lot of our ancestors used to make molasses) to produce a cheaper fuel.  This would also help keep food prices down and feed a lot of families.  I’m sure someone will find a way to poo-poo this like everything else to help bring down our dependence on oil.

I believe in recycling.  We need very much to take care of our Mother Earth instead of spitting in her face the way we have been doing.  I may be old fashioned in my way of looking at things but I feel that our abuse is what is causing so much turmoil in our weather.  I must not be too old fashioned if the scientists are beginning to see it that way too.

Respect is something we have fallen away from and is something we need to relearn as a society.  Respect our land, respect our people and respect our country because I can’t think of anywhere I would rather live.  There are many places I have yet to visit and plan on traveling more as I can but for now, I will try the best I can to take care of my own.

Did you know that if you have a cell phone that is no longer on a contract with your cell company that it can still be used to dial 911?  It’s true.  Too many people simply throw away their old cell phones when they get a new one.  Some will recycle it as a child’s toy but I prefer to recycle it into something that will help others.  Women’s shelters give used cell phones to women in their shelter to have as extra protection so keep that in mind when you buy a new cell phone.  Donate your old cell phone to help someone helpless without it.

Our government may not be perfect and I am not going to try and say it is but I love this country.  I love our people and especially our soldiers.  These young men are fighting for us, to keep us safe, to give us freedom from fear and deserve nothing but our utmost respect and gratitude.  Everyone has a right to their opinions, but when your opinion hurts innocent people like our soldiers families, you might want to think twice before opening your mouth.  War is ugly and I can’t say it is right or wrong.  All I can say is I will not voice any opinion against our soldiers.
