Camp Chinquapin for Critters

This might be a stupid blog...but I don't care! If you didn't know I work at Camp Chinquapin for Critters! What we do is board dogs, cats, and other animals when people go on vacation, we have many different types of kennels for dogs (big or small), cats (big and small), and even other types of animals. We do grooming and bathing! And we also do something called Doggie Daycare! It's a wonderful thing esp. if you have a hyperactive dog that loves to play! We have a lot of regular daycare dogs that come daily and their owners say its a wonderful things. What we do is put dogs in certain groups in big play yards based on there size and temperament and they play until about 11:30 and then we bring them in for nap time and take them back out after nap time! If you haven't ever been to the place you need to come! I truly love my job! I get to be with animals all day long and it's never a dull moment. My little beagle Beulah Belle is a real "scaredy-cat", she's a real skiddish dog that really doesn't like to play or be messed with except on her terms. Well yesterday and today she got to come up to the kennel and play, since her brother and sister were up there. I am always so nervous about her coming to play because I don't want her to be mean nor have a anxiety and freak out. But, she absolutely loved it up there and loved playing! She ran around the whole time with the dogs and wagged her tails the whole time. She is really opening up and doing alot better! We took her out of her comfort zone of being alone and she had a wonderful time! This can kind of relate to life in that, what if I never took her out of her comfort zone? She would always be the scared, skiddish dog that doesn't want to be messed with or bothered. I guess this is one of those "you had to be there things" to be like "aww how cute." My dogs are my kids and get treated better than a lot of kids do, so I am sure there will be lots of stories about them! So, anyways if you have any questions about dogs/cats/etc.., boarding, grooming, or anything just let me know!

County Politics

Quote:
"The day we lose our will to fight, is the day we lose our freedom."

I thought I would discuss county politics tonight! Because I ride around and see all the sheriff signs everywhere. Let me just start off saying that I don't think we could have a better person serving Sheriff of Gwd. County right now other than Sheriff Dan, he has done some great things for this county. But, it's funny, because we all want our next sheriff to be someone who takes care of the bad guys and locks them up. We want that person to fix the bad things that go on within our community and county. BUT, lets hypothetically say, our kid gets caught doing something bad. And this bad isn't something little like lying but this bad is getting caught with drugs or underage drinking. What's funny to me though, is that when it happens to your kid(s) you get mad that they got in trouble with the law and got their face plastered all over the newspaper. Because they get in trouble and everyone knows about it, then they can't participate in school activities and so forth. Your child is an angel right? Or Maybe you are just in denial that your kid got in REALLY bad trouble and you don't want to face the consequences and take responsibility for your child. You get mad at the police and everyone else involved and blame it on other people...when the only people at fault is you and your child. Then you say, No, I think only the hardcore criminals should be locked up or there are worse things in the world they could focus on other than some underage teens drinking. But, what if law enforcement didn't get involved? Your child could drive home drunk, get in a wreck, and wind up dead. I see this, or at least feel like this is going on with our county. It takes me back to the whole question of "Why are you voting for who you are going to vote for?"
This is just a little opinion of mine...I could be wrong...but this IS MY blog!

US Politics

When I first went into to Lander I was a Political Science major. I changed that because I realized I didn't want to get into the business of dirty politics and I would rather serve justice (I am a Criminal Justice major now). However, I did take quite a few political science classes before I realized all of this, but I am by no means a Politician, just your average American concerned about their country. So I decided to start a blog to complain!! Sorry!!
First off, as we see today in America the stock market fell to its worst ever while the House turned down the bailout plan. Now, what would you do if you were president??? And how many people would agree with you??? Probably not many. Rarely does anyone ever agree on what other people say. I must say...I am not in Congress nor in the Senate, so my news and what I hear does come from the NEWS. Anyways, House decided against the bailout plan, and before the vote..good ol' Nancy Pelosi (being sarcastic) has to make a little speech, and what I noticed while watching her speech is while America is in a crisis and was making one of the most important speeches she is blaming Bush. And Democrats are just as much to blame as anybody (remember Clinton? - the president before Bush). And whether the bailout plan is a good one or not, I don't know?...but I don't know it would be nice to see taking action instead of playing a game! I believe in our president and what he has to offer because he is the PRESIDENT of the UNITED States. We have never had a perfect president in the US, so don't expect it. But, its not just her, its other politicians too. Can we please just get America through this instead of playing the blame game!! Forget who did this and that two years ago...its the past! Let's just fix the problem. But, I think it would help if before an important decision our President isn't bashed on. Something I have learned through taking American Politics classes and such, is that anything the President wants to do it has to get passed by Congress first. Correct? Correct! Congress can veto anything that the President wants to do! Not to say we shouldn't even have a president or anything like that. But, pay attention to who you vote for for Senate and Congress. Who is your Represenitive and Senator and what does he stand for?
Lastly, I am not one to tell you who to vote for. As an American citizen its your right to chose who to vote for, my concern is why are you voting for who you are going to vote for?! Is it because she's a woman? or he is an African American. Are you really paying attention to who you are voting for? Every president and every other American citizen wants a change, but the president alone isn't going to bring change. It's up to us as American citizens to bring that change, work together. There is too much of pointing fingers at other people in the world today! Let's start taking a stand!

Side Note: I am not an English Major...therefore I am sure there are quite a few errors, but this isn't for a grade right?!
