Happy~Tails!

Happy~Tails Story:

  My family loves animals, we work with our local animal shelter, to help foster animals in need of a home until they can find a permanent family. Remember, animal shelters can always use donations and most will happily welcome volunteers to help in many ways, contact yours for more details.

  My husband and I, constantly say that we are a magnet for lost, unwanted and stray animals, we have come across many different animals along the way; dogs, cats, frogs, lizards and even a lamb, yes, I said lamb, which was tucked inside a bush in our yard. It is quite amazing how and where we have found them or, how and where they find us. It has been such a joyful experience for our family and our children just love it.

  We feel so blessed and honored to help out our furry, woolly and scaly friends, especially when there is a Happy~Tail. Many of the animals we have taken under our wing, have found their way back home or a new loving home.

  If your pet loses their way, call your local animal shelter(s) and animal control center to report your pet, the sooner the better. Make flyer's and post in your local areas; Veterinary Hospitals and pet supply stores are also a hot spot for flyer's. Post an ad in the local newspapers and pet finder websites.

Three top tips to keep your animal close:

* Have your animal(s) spayed or neutered, it helps them from straying and reduces the stray population.

* Check your animals collar to ensure it is working properly and is tightened but not too tight.

* Keep ID tags on your animal at all times and make sure all information is up to date and legible. This is the best way to get your animal back home to you.

                We have all found our homes!

Book Vs. Movie- James And The Giant Peach.

Book Vs. Movie- James And The Giant Peach.
                          By: Christian Hunt

                                          

  This project is based on comparing a book to the movie. I have chosen to do, James and The Giant Peach. I have found through this project, that books and movies are very different. Books tend to have more detailed information, whereas movies tend to be shorter, with different ideas and plots.

                                                     

  In comparing the two I found some similarities, but I felt there were more differences. Here are a few similarities. First, the rhino takes James' parents away from him, which leaves him with his Evil Aunt's. Second, the Aunt's characters stay true to their characters within movie and book. Third, James happily lives out his life in New York City in a peach pit.

                                                      

  The differences I found, which I feel some should have not been left out of the movie were; The Cloud Men. I think The Cloud Men would have been more exciting to see in the movie, and I was sad the movie left them out. Second, The Aunt's were killed by the peach rolling over them in the book, the movie left them alive. Last but not least, New york City was a surprise location in the book and the movie based the plot about James going to New York City.

                                                          

  I have learned a lot while doing this project, and I thought it was very interesting to compare the book and the movie together. I feel I enjoyed the movie better because it helped me to place the characters in the book.  I also enjoyed reading the book, especially the part with the Cloud Men. I have to say, the movie left out and changed many things from the book but the movie also had happier moments, making it joyful to watch.
