Since I could remember, my life-long dream is to become a veterinarian. I've loved animals since I first laid eyes on one and my passion for them has grown along with myself. As matter of fact, I own five pets and believe me I've had so many that the count would be well over 10! I currently own 3 parrots (Perry- Maximilian Pionus, Penny- Hahn's Macaw, and Merry- Yellow Collared Macaw) and 2 dogs (Buddy- Shih Tzu and Tommy- Lhasa Apso).
One might think that my house probably smells and looks like a zoo, but really, it doesn't because I keep my animals healthy and well taken care of. This is the purpose of my blog besides the fact that its required for my english class; to inform present and future pet owners about the health and wellbeing of domesticated animals.
As a pet owner and veterinary assistant, I know how hard it can be taking care of an animal no matter the size or type. But it doesn't give anyone the excuse to mistreat an animal or inhibit an animal from receiving proper and routine veterinary care. Also, many pet owners are unaware of some of the simple things they do that can harmfully affect their pet's health and wellbeing such as feeding their animal human food or bathing their animal with human toiletries.
My blog will consist of helpful tips and information for present and future pet owners. I will post issues concerning the health and wellbeing of several types domesticated animals depending on the issue and provide useful information that pet owners can use with their animals.
I hope that you all will enjoy reading my blog and I look forward to writing for you this semester! (:
What a positive and upbeat first post! I'm excited to see what you come up with to encourage and help us all out this semester (those of us with pets and those who want pets). I have two: Molly and Maggie, rescue mutts who are 15.5 years old.
ReplyDeleteJust remember that you have multiple jobs going on this semester: scholar, veterinary assistant, animal owner, blogger. Remember to exude that professional aura while writing. I know I succumb to the exclamation points and the "heys" (we all do). Just remember to reflect the future you want for yourself in the way you present material.
I am excited to see what I'm doing wrong as a pet owner, but excited, too, to see what I can do to make my dogs' lives even better. Blogging about being an advocate for animals is very timely...
