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.

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.

Breathe the Truth.

 

                       BREATHE THE TRUTH  

                        The Movie "Bully." Released 2012
    
  I believe if you breathe, you should watch this movie. It is the truth even though it is hard to sallow, this movie really does not sugar-coat anything. It will make you go through a trip of many emotions. Sad to say it is the truth, and it will make you want to change many things..., and change CAN be done if we can recognize the truth. It is a must see, if you can swallow the truth. Please watch it, especially if you have children!!!

A Letter to Louise.

A Letter to Louise-

 "Your words speak to me as if I wrote them myself....

 I read the black impressed letters on the page, putting them together like a puzzle in my head, they reach out and touch me.

 Brilliance, they are a beautiful collage.

  Beauty, that emerges in all aspects of life.

  The good, the bad, the truth.

  You are a true inspiration, Louise."

Dana Hunt- Me

                                    
"Come to me, said the world. I was standing
in my wool coat at a kind of bright portal —
I can finally say
long ago; it gives me considerable pleasure. Beauty
the healer, the teacher —
death cannot harm me
more than you have harmed me,
my beloved life."
— from ''October'' (2004)

PeeU in the Pew.

  Hey Parents, have you ever had a moment where you think to yourself; That can't possibly be my child, it just could not be! Here is one of mine, enjoy.

  Many of my children's amusing, heart stopping, hilarious, nail-biting moments happen during church services. I assure you that the story I am about to share is off the chart. I just hope that God has a sense of humor and not a sense of smell, at least with this one.

  It was a Thursday evening and we attended the Epiphany service at our church. Three of my four sons were the Wise Men in the church program. They looked so cute in the last minute costumes my husband made for them out of spare paint drapes. They made it down the aisle with their gifts to place at the front of the church without any hiccups, "SUCCESS" I thought to myself. Shew!

  They returned to the pew and sat with us. This night, we were asked if we would sit closer to the front of the church since the boys had their roles to play. During normal church services we sit in the back pew for an easy escape route, with four young boys you never know what or will happen!

 Our Pastor then started to deliver his sermon and began it with The Three Wise Men and the gifts of frankincense, myrrh and gold.

  As soon as the sermon started, my son, Lucas, had a hard time controlling himself, as lots of children do. I asked him numerous times to sit still and be quite and finally, there was five minutes of peace on earth and then....out of the clear blue, LARGE sounds exited Lucas's rear end. My ears could not believe it, how could something so LOUD, come from something so small? I'm quite sure the hard wooden pew played a part in helping. It was as if someone set off a machine gun, POP...POP...POP...POP..POP. POP!!

  (And keep in mind, this all happens in seconds!)

  So if that was not bad enough, after the shots rang out, a second had passed and Lucas calmly cupped his hand and placed it to his rear, he then placed his cupped hand over his nose. This gives a whole new meaning to GAS MASK!!!

 So if that was not worse enough, another second passed and as Lucas sat there, he then placed one foot on the pew and then the other foot on the pew and lowered his head between his legs.

  I was in total shock and quickly looked at my husband to see if he saw and smelled, never mind heard (who didn't?!?!), what I just witnessed, and yep, he indeed did.

  Tears began to run down my face, I slid down into the pew (no pun intended) and I went into total hysteria. Do you know how many sounds you can make by trying to hold in pure laughter, I made every single one of them. My husband could no longer look my way and began to count window panes to keep some kind of composer.

  As this is happening, our Dear Pastor Luther is still delivering his sermon, and he is now discussing the aromas of the frankincense and myrrh, which only added to my hysteria. Pastor Luther looked at me many times throughout his sermon, as I was about to bust open my guts everywhere. He probably thought, wow, she has finally lost it! I thought very hard about excusing myself from the sermon but I don't believe I could have walked out on my own two feet, and crawling just was not an option.

  After the sermon, a lady sitting in the next pew approached me and said, "I'm sure you get told this all the time but your son (Lucas) reminds me so much of Dennis the Menace." I replied, "All the time."

 My husband and I really wanted to explain to Pastor Luther what had happened but we just did not know quite where to start, just because a fart.

 And perhaps, that is why we have kids....God Bless (HELP) Us All in our moments and God Love Lucas!!
