Neutering

I saw a dog being neutered today. It was interesting. The dog was put under anesthesia and fell asleep. It was then quickly shaved and the veterinarian quickly put the scalpel to the dog's scrotum. He pulled something up and tossed it aside. Then he quickly started stitching the dog up. Again he quickly pulled something out and then started stitching the dog up. It was over very quickly, once the dog was under the knife it was less than twenty minutes. I didn't even know what I was seeing, I kept thinking "so when is the operation REALLY going to start?". It was done so quickly that I was surprised how fast it was. I got to see the dog's little sacs after they were pulled. They were so small.
I am appalled at how many pet owners won't get their animals fixed because they think it's cruel or too much of a big deal. It isn't. Yes, neutering and spaying is cruel, but the animal gets over it soon. It is much crueler that so many animals die in shelters because they can't get homes. So yes, SPAY AND NEUTER!!!

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

Post

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
