Biggest Cats in the World
Most of the biggest cats in the world are also among the world's most endangered animals. As these beautiful creatures decline in numbers it begs the question: is all the progress made by humanity superficial if it comes at the expense of wildlife and environmental health? These big cats are dying out because their habitat is being eaten up by human beings, which also means that human beings are eating up the habitat of other human beings! So, take a gander at these precious felines and then prioritize your life!

Perspective of the Imaginary
Neil would come home from school and I would be waiting for him. As soon as he saw me, his face lit up. A smile so big and bright it filled the room and also my heart. He said, "There you are! Right where I left you. Were you a good dog?" I always answered him, "No, I terrorized the cat and blamed him for eating all of the treats. I got into the dirt and tracked it all over the carpet. Then, right before you got home, I dug out all of the folded laundry and rolled in it. " Then Neil laughed and laughed. He laughed in that little kid laugh that was instantly infectious. I always told him about my day, just so I could hear it. It was what I lived for.

Nicholas
This is the story about a rabbit. His name is Nicholas. Nicholas always was rude. Never said please or thank you. Always pushed people out of the way. But what he didn’t realize was there was a good fairy watching over him. This fairy saw all his evil deeds. She knew he must change or his future would be spent committing crimes. She told him in a dream to change his ways but he didn’t listen. She told him day after day but he ignored her. The day came when he turned thirteen. Nicholas wasn’t grateful for his presents. He complained and complained. Well, the good fairy was getting tired of his rudeness. So for each bad deed he had done throughout his life she took away one family member. Soon he was all alone. He looked around confused. The good fairy sat in a chair in front of him. She told him to earn back his family he must start doing good deeds. His stubbornness got the best of him. He refused. She continued to sit there and watch him. He finally went out and helped his neighbor mow the lawn. She brought back his aunt. Next he went to the grocery store and worked all day helping people carry groceries. She brought back his cousins. Soon he had all his family back but three people. His mother, father, and his baby sister. He tried everything he knew but no good deed was worth the bad deeds he had done. Finally he sat down and wrote sorry letters to everyone he had ever wronged. He wrote and wrote and wrote. For three weeks he wrote letters and sent them. He then started writing thank you notes to everyone that had stood by him. He wrote one to the mail man who always would scold him because he pulled pranks on him every day. His teacher who didn’t put up with his bad behavior. Every family member that he took for granted. And all his friends who stood by him even though he was mean and often made himself look better because of them. He then looked around and saw his mom and dad and his sister. He started crying and hugging them. He told them everything. He said sorry many times and took them out to dinner using his birthday money. He told everyone he knew of his lesson. And every time he saw a little bunny misbehaving he would correct them and tell them to behave or else the fairy would take their family. He told his story far and wide to anyone who would listen. And when he got really old and couldn’t walk the schools brought children to him to hear his story. He never stopped telling his story. He always wanted people to know what would happen if they misbehaved. He then started writing a book detailing all that he had gone through. Every letter. Every good deed. Every family member that he got back and how he got them back. And he continuously would correct children. And he also would tell parents that they needed to teach their children right from wrong and that they wouldn’t never outgrow it. He was very old. Nicholas knew his time was near. He was dying. He took a deep breath and looked at his grandbunnnies. He told them to always behave. And with one last breath he died. But on his headstone was wrote "Bad deeds take away your family but good deeds bring them closer." Never do bad deeds. And that is how Nicholas saved lots of bunnies from growing up into criminals.

What the Shorkie!?
Are shorkies a good breed to have? Yes. Absolutely. Shorkies are family-oriented and loyal to their families. They have excellent memory and very intelligent mindsets. They are very easy to train and I have determined that they listen to you speaking and listen out for key words they are familiar with and then associate them with something they would love to do. They really listen. My shorkie wakes up every morning to help me wake the kids for school and she gives them all the goodbye kisses they don’t ask for. All smiles. They are just lovable. If you are not into barking dogs, then this breed wouldn’t be for you because, as I mentioned, they are loyal to family and their territory, and if anyone knocks on your door or they hear an unfamiliar tone in someone’s voice, that will ring the alarm. But they also listen, so just as quickly as they begin to bark and you ask them to stop, they will obey, but still have alarming suspicion about the stranger. I would say that shorkies are very attentive, and if they aren’t watching, they are always listening to sounds and even respond to family members who have high stress levels in their voices. This is really true. If you were to argue with your sibling, your shorkie will get in between you both and commence to barking at you as if they are telling you to get your behinds back and make up. I love it.
