I decided I had some extra time on my hands and wanted to do something good.  We don’t live very far from the animal shelter so I went up there to see if I could maybe help in some way.  Guess what???  I get to play with puppies and walk some of the dogs that are there.  I’m having a ball too.  These poor doggies are usually left there because they got lost or their owners couldn’t take care of them anymore.  One lady brought her beagle in with a litter of 9 puppies.  She said she couldn’t afford to have her fixed and just couldn’t take care of puppies every time you turn around.  I really felt sorry for her because she was crying when she left.

Anyway, if you want to help but don’t have time to play with puppies or walk the dogs, you can make some donations.  Some of the items they need are things you might throw away anyway so put them to good use, okay?  I’ve noticed there are several other blogs that have this list too so maybe we all need to help out. Here’s a list of what they need:

• Clean, old newspapers to be used for litter and lining cages
• Toilet seat covers (cats love to lie on them in their cages)
• Any type of cat or dog toy (plastic or washable)
• Old bath towels and blankets
• Canned cat food, any brand
• Bagged, dry dog food (particularly desired is Science Diet but other brands accepted)
• Laundry soap
• Bleach
• Heavy ceramic food and water bowls
• Antibacterial hand soap
• Candles - citrus or spice
• Paper towels

I should have written this while I was in school and not over the summer but I just thought about it.  I’m sure I’ll use it again when I start college this fall.  I found a website that has news archives on it.  It’s called Wikinews:Archives.  It has all the relevant news that you might want to go back over if you have a report to write and need some research into something that was in the news.  I found it to be a huge help.  Even if you aren’t doing a research paper and just wanted to see what was going on sometime in the past, check it out.  I have it bookmarked because I never know when I might need it again.

Hey remember me telling you I had to get glasses and then Mom got some too?  I couldn’t believe it when I saw  Zenni on Fox.  How cool is that?  See I can get some darn good bargans too and know one when I see it.  Trust me, if you need glasses, you need to check with ZenniOptical.com first.

When Uncle Bill came and told us he was getting married, my Daddy asked him if he had to get married.  Uncle Bill looked at him kind of puzzled and said “What do you mean?”  Well Daddy asked him since he got those little wonder pills he didn’t get her pregnant did he?  Mom and I are doing all we can not to bust out laughing because Uncle Bill got a real concerned look on his face and said “Lord I hope not.”  Mom and I had to leave the room.  They’re both too old to make babies!!!!

You are never going to guess what I found.  It’s a web site that will actually pay you to write blogs.  Imagine that, someone is going to pay me to write a blog about things I already was planning to write about in the first place.  It’s a payperpost type thing where advertisers make offers to a blogger to write about their services, products, or what ever they want advertised.  Hey, I’m in advertising!!  Sounds important huh?

I was really needing some extra money anyway because with going to college this fall, there are so many things I’m going to need that I really hate putting it all on my parents.  I’ll need new clothes, I can’t start college in what I wore to high school now can I?  Of course that means new shoes too.  Seriously, I’ll need books, and a bunch of supplies and if I can get those on my own, it will help my parents out a great deal.  Books are EXPENSIVE!!!!!
