A hidden talent in a big city
It all began one Sunday morning. My mom yelling my name from downstairs saying ‘Chacha come downstairs - Now! I thought- what the heck did I do now? I was the favorite to pick, always the one to blame for anything. I’m coming down soon, I replied. I was not in the mood for humiliation again,

Wicket is Home at Last!
I was super-glad that I had a few days with Widget at Kathleen's. We had a chance to decide if we liked each other. He learned his new call name. He learned how to take a treat from my hand--believe it or not, taking a treat from a hand is a HUGE item of trust from a small dog! I have small hand and look how big they are compared to his head! (Please excuse the dirty fingernails--I have a homestead and I don't think my fingernails come clean any longer.) His willingness to take treats from my hand almost immediately, even though he'd had some breakfast already that morning, demonstrated a healthy food drive. That was encouraging, because I like to use clicker training for very young puppies and food is a quick and easy reward when using that kind of training.

When it's not a plastic bag
My name is Jessica, and I'm dramatic. I overreact, and I tend to take myself a little too seriously. They say that pets learn to reflect the personalities of their owners. Our family has a wonderful dog that tends to overreact. Is that related to the amount of time she has spent with me?

Exotic Fancy Guppies
Exotic Fancy Guppies Guppies are a type of tropical fish that is easy to keep in an aquarium. One of the advantages of keeping puppies in a fish tank is that they come in a variety of colors, shapes, and patterns. As an ornament, they have a bright tail, but the most imaginable guppy species are colorful bodies with a leopard-like pattern.

Gannet
The gannet (Sula bassana, or Morus bassanus) is a truly remarkable bird, for several reasons. It is the largest seabird indigenous to the British Isles, at up to 95 centimetres (37 inches) in length, and this is where up to 70% of the world’s population of gannets breed. The gannet is not the same species as the Cape gannet (Morus capensis), although they do have many features in common.

Green woodpecker
The green woodpecker (Picus viridis) is easily the largest of the three species of woodpecker that breed in the United Kingdom. They are not always easy to see, partly because of their green colouring but also because they have a habit of moving out of sight when they become aware of people in the vicinity.

Old Animal Dwelling Place
Twenty years prior, we began as a little dream to live on a ranch, while developing conventional harvests, and we welcomed a portion of the understudies on the homestead to pick pumpkins. The ranch is enormous and in an emergency because of long periods of farming deficiencies and high shortcomings. The old farmhouse in Corley Woods and was totally annihilated, and there were old vehicles, farm trucks, and hardware all over. Be that as it may, we were as yet youthful, and our exhibition was extremely amazing. We have concluded that this is the place where we are raising our families, and we will allow you to control what occurs straightaway.

Beat The Bull
I work from home for an extremely excellent company, and that means I listen to a lot of music when I work. One of Vocal’s recent challenges was a short fiction about a raging bull, so in this I will include a scenario with my thoughts on bullfighting and similar “sports”. Killing animals for pleasure or fun is totally out of order in my opinion. If an animal, like say a fox, is threatening or killing domestic livestock it should be killed as humanely as possible , the same goes for all vermin.
