Essay 10 Re-Write

Ever watched how people treat their dogs?  I have seen how many people have treated their dogs and it disgust me.  I have seen people that decided they needed dogs just to say they have a dog and when no one is around they ignore it. I have also seen people that have gotten dogs to just leave them home all day long.  What disgust me the most is when people get dogs and can’t afford them.  Dogs are a big responsibility and even though they don’t talk and can’t tell people that there not being taken care of when they need help they still need to be taken care of. 
                There are a lot of people that have dogs that ignore them that leave them tied outside all the time even in bad weather.  There is no reason why a dog, or any animal that should be left out side in the cold weather.  I knew a couple that had two dogs that left their dog outside all year long and never brought them inside.  Just thinking about it makes me disgusted and sick to my stomach.
                 Another thing that disgusts me is when people decided to get dogs when they work all the time and leave them in a cage all day when they’re gone.   Don’t get me wrong I think it’s ok to train you dog in a cage but don’t think they should be put in a cage all day everyday well people are gone and wonder why there bad when hyper when they get out of the cage.  Dogs have energy that they can’t get rid of when sitting in a cage all day. 
                The thing that disgusts me the most is when people get dogs and can’t afford them.   A dog has needs like a person.  They need to be fed and groomed at least once every two months.  They have to be licensed, neutered and have shots that all add up and can be quite expensive.  Along with all the unexpected emergencies that could happen.   There are a lot of people out there that let their dogs suffer with an illness because they can’t afford to take them to the vet. 
                Maybe it’s just me that get’s disgusted watching people treat their dogs bad.  I’m a dog lover and always will be.  I have had dogs in myself ever since I was four and maybe that’s why I hate seeing them treated badly.   Don’t get me wrong though it’s not just dogs no animal should be treated badly.  I wish I could save every dog that is not treated well but you and I both know that’s not possible.  Treat my dog like he’s my child, I buy him treats and toys all the time. I take him everywhere with me and never leave him home.

Essay 10

What makes a person decide they want a dog?  I mean people don’t just wake up and decided they want a dog right?  When I looked into getting a dog there were three main things that I looked into before deciding to get a dog.  First of all I started off by asking myself why I want a dog.   Is it just to say I have one?  The second question I asked myself was am I home enough to have one?  The last and most important question I asked myself was can I afford one?   Will I be able to provide it with food and anything other important he or she may need to survive.  
                When I first thought about getting a dog I asked myself why I want a dog.  Is it just so I can say I have one and to show off to people and to ignore when no one is around? There are a lot of people that have dogs that ignore them that leave them tied outside all the time even  in bad weather. 
                Before getting a dog I wanted to make sure I would be home enough.  I didn’t want to get a dog and put it in a cage all day when I’m gone.  Don’t get me wrong I think it’s ok to train you dog in a cage but don’t think they should be put in a cage all day everyday well people are gone.  They need time to run around and blow off some energy. 
                The most important thing I had to think about before getting a dog was will I be able to afford a dog.  A dog has needs like a person.  They need to be fed and groomed at least once every two months.  They have to be licensed, neutered and have shots that all add up and can be quite expensive.  Along with all the unexpected emergencies that could happen. 
                Those are some of the things that I took in to consideration before getting a dog.  I wouldn’t want to just run out and get a dog just because I think they would be fun and then find out I couldn’t afford it and have to give it back after getting attached to it.   After thinking about all of these responsibly of getting a dog I decided I had time and could afford one.  I know have a golden doodle named gunner.  

Cause Essay Re-do

There were many different ideas that went through my husbands and I heads when picking our wedding date. For example do we want to have to worry about it snowing and people not being able to attend our wedding, do we want to be able to use bright summer colors or do we want to get married in the spring when the snow is starting to melt and it’s starting to warm up.
When we were deciding on our wedding day we really thought we wanted a winter wedding. At the same time we can to realize that we live in Maine that one day it could be sunny and bright out and the next minute we could be having a blizzard. Therefore there could be a chance that we could have a snow storm on our wedding day and no one would be able to attend.
Another idea that went through our heads was did we want to use bright colors such as pink, orange, yellow and lime green as our colors. If we were to choose to have our wedding in the summer those were the colors we would have had to use. Since you very well can’t use dark colors in the summer. So If we wanted more of the darker colors wouldn’t be able to have a summer wedding.
The last thing that went through our heads were whether or not we wanted to get married in the spring where the weather is more cooler and manageable, but is also when the snows melting and everything’s muddy. The big question is did we want to have to worry about getting muddy before we get married and did we want to have outdoors pictures we bare trees in the background.
After we talked about what we wanted we decided we would have a fall wedding when it wouldn’t be too hot and people would be comfortable. A good thing about having a fall wedding is all the pretty colors of the leaves that will be changing and all the wonderful pictures that will come along with it. We also decided that even though we really wanted a winter wedding it was more important to have our loved ones present to witness our special day, and wasn’t willing to take the change of having a snow storm and not having them there. That is why we decided to make the decided to have a Fall wedding.
