i love my iphone :]
Basically, everyone has a cellphone today. It seems that people have forgotten how to communicate with one another face to face so much so that all you ever see now are people with their heads always down looking at their phones,texting,talking or checking their Facebooks online, and so on. Technology helps us but it's also taking over our lives when we could easily balance technology with our day to day life. I, myself, fall into this category and sometimes catch myself being that type of person that I get annoyed at, like when there's an awkward silence so I take out my phone and play with it to look busy. People can't go an hour without their devices while eating dinner at a restaurant or simply just doing anything. In a world where parents used to get onto their kids for not being polite while at the dinner table or in public, everything has changed. I see parents and adults being on their phones while eating, checking there social networking sites and answering calls. I see little kids starting to play on phones at 2 years old when they could be coloring or playing outside. When I was 12, I was playing outside and riding my bike but in today's world, kids are on Facebook and playing online or texting. Things have definitely changed and to me, communication within families isn't how it once was.

why you should spay or neuter
So, I'm a big animal lover and I HATE going to visit animal shelters and seeing all the dogs that could possibly be put to sleep just because a breeder or someones family couldn’t find homes for their puppies. I don’t believe in kill shelters, I believe every dog should have a chance and not have a time limit before his life is ended just because no one has adopted him yet. But some of the benefits of spaying females are that there are no heat cycles therefore, the male dogs will not be attracted to the females and will not want to mate,there are fewer chances of tumors, and ovarian and uterine cancer is reduced and almost eliminated especially if they are spayed before their first heat cycle. For families, another good reason is that it helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives and for males it’s the same but it almost eliminates the chances of them getting testicular cancer. It also makes the dog less aggressive and hyper and they will be less likely to roam, meaning less chances of injury from car accidents. It helps reduce overpopulation of puppies and kittens which is good because most places have a max capacity and have to euthanize the animals that have been there for a long time. Cats are 45 times as reproductive and dogs are 15 times as reproductive as people. When a female dog is pregnant, it also is common for dogs to go through complications throughout their pregnancy, such as dystoica. Dystocia means that the puppies are larger than the mom’s birth canal so the puppies get stuck in the canal and die and the mother may also die from the decomposed fetuses. There are so many more things that can go wrong with a pregnant female dog but I won’t go on about it and bore everyone haha. I have two dogs myself- a boxer and a great dane, and in 2 weeks I’m saving a deaf great dane that was going to be put to sleep just because he is deaf.
