I is Loving...

• MY DOGGIES!!

Well, really doggies in general. They are so sweet and funny. I've had three in my life. My first one was named Yaffa, a miniature Schnauzer. She was very cute, but unfortuatly, we had to put her to sleep at an old age. Now, I have two dogs, Kipper, a cocker spaniel-poodle mix, and Bella, a Besion Frese-cocker spainel mix. I absoluty love my dogs. Bella waddles, and Kipper is always so happy. His nickname is Smiley because he smiles. But the dogs who don't have a home need the most help. I can't even think of people abusing animals. They abandon them, beat them, and leave them in horrible conditions. Some people even use them to fight.

So what can you do about this? Join the ASPCA, or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The website is here: www.aspca.org/site/PageServer. You don't even have to join. To help animals, you could lobby for animals, adopt, or check out their programs. Don't let an animal go throught this, ever.

• VAMPIRES!!

I love reading about vampires. My favorite book having to do with vampires is the Twilight series, by Stephenie Meyer. It is about a girl, Bella, who moves to Forks, Washington, and falls in love with a vampire named Edward. They go through struggles, and Bella befriends a werewolf. This, and many other events, happen throughout Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, and Midnight Sun.

And the best thing? They are coming out with a movie! I have seen a few previews, and it look awesome. If you would like to learn more about the Twilight saga, visit http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html.

• BABYNAMES.COM

I love to write stories, so I always need names for my characters. I know the perfect web site: babynames.com. My favorite names are Kana, which means powerful in Japanese, and Esther, for my great-grandmother, which means star in Hebrew. If you ever need a name, you now know where to go.
