All Things Animal
My name is Leah, I am currently a senior in high school and I am dedicating this blog to all things animal. My journalism teacher required us to create a blog to establish a stronger prescence on the internet. This project originated as a blog I had to do for class, so I decided to make it on something I am truly passionate about: animals. When I was three my sister brought home a mutt from the shelter and I have been in love ever since. As a child, I always brought home random animals with the intent of keeping them. I visited animal shelters almost every weekend just to see the animals. My favorite activity was going to the dog park with my dog so we could socialize with other neighborhood pets. It is fair to say my love for animals is deep-rooted and has been an aspect of my life since childhood. In this blog, I want to include different aspects of animals. I intend to show the horrible effects of animal abuse, but also highlight the amazing things animals can do. This blog will be mainly focused on domestic animals, although it will include posts on other animals as well. There are so many different aspects of these creatures, and I want to communicate that in my blog. I am an advocate of the fair treatment of animals and i would like to shed some light on these very important issues. Also, domestic animals have served a very important positive role in this world. Animals like guide dogs, therapy animals, and simply outstanding pets will also be featured in this blog. Animals have been such an important aspect of my life, and this blog will be a great way to express that. Through this blog I also hope to connect with other animal lovers who share the same enthusiasm about animals that I do.

Might want to reread your blog. Missing a few letters here and there, just very minor grammar things.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a broad topic for the blog and I'm so curious on how you're going to handle it. There's this Korean show I watch called "Animal Farm" and it's where these people go to places around Korea, documenting animals and possibly strange behaviors. It's really interesting and I bet your blog will be the same.
This entry brought back memories of when my mom and I use to drop by the animal shelter every week just to look at them. I wanted to take them all home, but of course I couldn't. It would've been bad if I could anyway since that will most likely lead to animal hording. Can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you wholeheartedly with your blog. I have a dog and a kitty, one of whom I got from the pound. When I was little I wanted to become a vet and visit the pound just to see what kind of animals there were. I can't wait to see what else you have to say about the treatment of animals because it is a serious issue that happen daily.
ReplyDeleteI never had any pets in my life so I can't really say I relate to a love of animals. But it is rather intriguing to me, how animals are cared for and the many injustices done to their treatment by others. Can't wait to read even more.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this blog greatly. Our first cat -since we moved here at least- was a rescue. So far, we have had 3 cats, one dog, a rabbit, and an iguana. Yeah, life with pets is hectic, but to experience that unquestionable love (not the iguana because that thing is scary.)is to die for. I really hope you enjoy your animal life!
ReplyDeleteHi Leah. What's your mutt's name? (hey that rhymed)I never owned a dog or cat. I've only had few pet fish and a turtle before. I think hot dog dogs are adorable. I can't wait to read more though.
ReplyDeleteI used to think the way people acted towards their pets was completely absurd until I got a dog about a year ago. Now I completely understand where you get that passion for animals from because I know what it is like to have a pet that you love to death. I'm very excited to reader more once you begin posting. Is the mutt you're referring to Serenity?
ReplyDeleteI love that you are an animal lover! I don't really like house animals. They scare me! haha. I hope to know more about animals.
ReplyDeleteLike yourself I love animals too. I can't wait to see what else you post. :)
