Rescued pets

Well, I have some friends who volunteer at a pet shelter in the Seoul area. I was shocked to find out that many dogs and cats there are purebreds, and not just any purebreds, but the fancy kind that people spend lots of money on. Many are maltese, poodles, minature pinschers, shih tzus, and yorkies. There are persian and angora cats there.
My friend had a bunch of dogs pulled off "doggie death row" and has rehomed some of them. I am glad. Well, I got in on it and just had these pulled. I haven't met them yet and well, I have them up on the internet. I already got some response. I know my mother doesn't want any more dogs, her two are enough. Any more pets have to either be mine or I have to give them away.






My friend and I worked to get this dog pulled out. It had been beaten by someone, probably a drunk. It is a 4-month-old yorkie puppy. It had been at the shelter since March 9, and it finally got pulled out yesterday. I found that it was responsive when taken out of the shelter, and supposedly went through surgery today. It got sponsorship. Whoever beat that dog should be ashamed. Some people just make me so angry!!! >:(

The black one at the top is very cute :-)

It seems so senseless to go through the trouble and expense of getting a purebred pet and then neglecting/abandoning it. Neglecting any animal indeed. People are strange...

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
