My dog: Piak.

This is my dog Piak.

One month ago I adopted a puppy from three months old. I addopted my puppy from the SPCA. My small puppy first was scared and unhappy and was not used to my family. After she felt happier with my family and I, I learned her tricks and learned her to sit. First this small dog at your left obviously is my dog. There she was three months old, now the small dog is much bigger and has grown. She now is four months old and bites hard, first when she was small she did not bite too hard yet. Now she got bigger teeth and stronger jaws. I have to learn her not to bite anymore because she bites to hard to still play: Bite and Push with my dog. Bite and Push is a game I made up with her, this is how it goes, when we, I actually want to play with Piak, I start to push her softly. Of course when I push her, Piak starts to bite me. I could be doing this game with her for maybe fifteen minutes or less because I have to bend over and push her, but she just has to bite me, she can even bite me in my legs. When I and my dog play, I also lay on the ground because she(Piak) gets crazy of seing me on the ground, especially I like to make her crazy a little bit, so we continue on playing.

I always walk with my dog one time in the morning and one time in the evening, also my brother has to walk the dog twice a day. I love to have a dog and take care for it, because it is a living animal that gives you love and you can give it love. She is happy when she hasn't seen me for a long time, like when I wake up in the morning, when I come home or have been away somewhere and I come back.

Now my dog gets happier and relaxed every second. She sits on me and next to me, she licks me and bites me and mostly plays with me, listens to me and stops when I ask her to. She starts to listen and i'm finding out how smart she actually is. Piak's colour also changes, it changes really fast because when I pet her, she looses fur. She also gets new fur which is orange. I like her to be orange because I am from Holland, which is called orange land because of the lion.

She also sleeps a lot while daytime. At that time she sleeps because it is hot outside. We all take care of the dog and together we, my mother, father, brother and me have a dog together, (actually you better say my mother, brother and me because my father is always gone to a different country and does not take care of the dog).

Now my dog is sitting right beside me and is sleeping while I am typing this blog. She sleeps in a different world (with that I mean: she does not wake up because of any noise). She sits next to me, enjoys her sleeping, while I pet my dog. In a while I am going to walk my dog with my neighbors dog.

You should get a dog as well, the dog changes your life completely and will always love you. Get a dog and be happy with it, do not bring it back because you and your dog will not like that at all. Learn him or her tricks and live happily ever after.

Going from ESL to humanities.

This trimester I started off doing ESL. I had no problems in ESL and could understand enough to get a good grade. The first trimester I had fun in ESL and started to like it, when something new happend. I could really feel it coming and was asking myself what it could be. That is the question that lived in my head for a week or so when I started to feel the feeling coming. I was suprised and waited and waited, until it came.

That is when it came, November the 9th 2008. In the morning I went to my ESL teacher to hand my writing in (Ms.Nadaraj was my teacher). I said thank you, opened the door, but my teacher said "wait". I came back and asked her what was wrong. She said "I want you to get a letter from me at the end of the day." I said "OK" did not get but walked away. She finally said "OK i have good news for you, you are going to move onto humanities." My heart beat stopped and I wanted to jump into the air but said to myself, "don't do it, take it easy and just leave it". I did what I told myself to do and waited for my teacher to talk. She then finally said, after waiting for a few seconds, "I want you to keep it quiet, OK?" I just said "yes" but was not sure if I could.

I went outside the room and screamed as loud as I could: YES, YES, YES!!!!!!! I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I went back to my locker, which I left open, with my arms wide, feet and legs high in the air and screaming of happiness.

I thought: this is the best thing tha could ever happen! Then I had to bring my PE clothes to my locker and walked by all my friends, trying to be quiet. All I thought of was: "this is too hard". That was the one sentence that flew through my head, these four words, "this is too hard". It flew through my head for maybe five more minutes, until Kaori came up to me and said: what's up? Nothing, I said trying to act normal. I think it works, I thought. And you know what? It didn't, Kaori said: what's wrong? With me there is nothing wrong I said. Well it looks like it, Kaori said. No really i'm OK, I said again and again. Can you please tell me she asked me. That's when I told her a lie, what I don't like to do: Well I wasn't able to finish my homework at home, so the teacher got mad at me. What teacher, Kaori asked. What teacher got mad at you Kaori asked then. Mr.Sheflin I answered. Ohh she replied, he is fine.

The day after, three ESL students came up to me and said, are you going to humanities, all at the same time. So they know, I thought, how? That was the moment I thought Ms.Nadaraj told them I was going to move on. So guess what I did. I went up to all my friends and told them about what happened. Everyone was happy for me and congratulated me.

That was a happy day for me. I did what I was told to do and waited until the second trimester, to go to humanities in Ms.Reiser's class.

The telephone

My invention I chose was about the telephone and it was invented by Antonio Meucci. The telephone is used to talk to another person through the telephone. Obviously the other person you talk to has to talk through the telephone as well. The useful thing about the telephone is that you can be far away of the person you are talking to. The first telephone was very big and awkward, but that has been changing trough the years and now the telephones are wireless, that means you can walk with your telephone and talk with your partner.

The telphone beeps shows a light or rings to tell you that someone is calling. If you then pick up the telephone you get to talk to person who is calling you. Scientists say that 10 percent of the times you get called by people they typed in a crank call (calling someone and hanging up without saying anything) or the person put in the wrong number. And the other 90 percent of the times people call other people, they put in the correct number. This has shown by asking people how many times the people get crank calls or wrong numbers.

Antonio Meucci, was the one that was as smart as no one could be. Meucci was born in Florence, Italy, April 13, 1808. Meucci's job was to be a mechenical engineer (invent things). An very important invention Meucci made was the telephone, he invented the telephone in the year 1834.

The first telephones were used on ships and they still are. Meucci had invented at least two kinds of telephones: the acoustic telephone and the electromagnetic telephone. The acoustic telephone was the old and awkward telephone. The electromagnetic telephone is the new electric one. The electromagnetic telephone is the one we use nowadays.

Animals that need help!

The SPCA.

I'm writing a blog about the SPCA where people and animals need a lot of help. There at the SPCA the animals sometimes die and sometimes are abused (they get kicked by children, high schoolers throw stones at animals and they are left behind). The people that work at the SPCA try to help animals that are abused, by giving them food water and a place where they can be healed and be safe. Also the SPCA is quit poor because they do not have enough money and do not have enough space for all the animals. What they sometimes do is they make the animals to sleep (kill them in different words). Now the people of the SPCA need your help and you should help them! Help them! Help them! I come to the SPCA a big amount of times and I help there when I come. I also bought a puppy which is funny, cute, sweet and anoying. EVERYBODY WHO READS THIS YOU, YES YOU SHOULD HELP AS WELL YOU, YES YOU COULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE AND HELP THE ANIMAL WORLD TO GET BETTER!!!

There are ways how you could help, you could help by:

1. Give the SPCA dog food.

2. Give the SPCA water and food bowls.

3. You could go and help at the SPCA.

4. You could give the SPCA newspaper.

5. You could buy a puppy or cat or even every animal they have.

If you do one of the things above you are helping and you are making a difference. Try to help, it is not hard as you see. If you help I will buy you a christmas present because it is important to help. All you have to do is help tell me you helped and tell me what you want as your present.

About Me!

It's Sal,

No music no life. You should have music! Any suggestions for giving me titles and singers, please do. And one other thing, always be happy! Never give up and do your best. Also do not worry! If you start worrying things go wrong and it will even be worse... And you do not want that. You should go and do what you're told to do. When you have done that, this means when you're eighteen you can do everything yourself.
