Relax guys, that's my dog and he's not vicious, just thinks he is. We call this his "smile". :)
On to the subject of this blog: I went to clubfest and walked around for a little while. After much thinking, I finally decided to join ISU for Darfur and another club that volunteers to feed the hungry children of Africa. I am already a part of PAWS, which is a group designed to help the animals that are brought to the pound. But, I wanted to make more of a difference for people so now I'm volunteering to feed pets and people.
As much as I enjoy helping these animals and people, it still makes me a little sad to think that they are not getting help because no one wants to give an hour of their time to give them food, water, and other things that we all need to survive. If you were stuck in a bad situation, wouldn't you want some help? We can't do it all on our own....
I decided to volunteer because I grew up in a big family, and money was always tight, even with the many hours I put in every week at McDonald's (oh joy...). I knew that by the time I got to college, there would be even less money thanks to books and everything else I needed. So, I decided that I needed to give back and help other people that are just like me. I figured they might just pass on the favor. As for the animals, well judging from the picture above, I do love my dog. Everyday, I hear about some dog or cat or other animal that needs to be put down because they are "a danger to society." Really people, they are only a danger because you let them be that way. A dog doesn't grow up in a good family with good people and then suddenly decide it wants to attack little kids. It's a learned behavior, and it's not their fault.
Ok I'm gonna stop rambling now. Bye :)
