... my kids to experience the miracle of birth" to "I don't want my dog's personality to change", to "my dog will get fat". Some people just don't realize how very easy it is for a male dog to 'find' a female in heat ( where there is a will, there is a way, and there IS a will!) or when a female will come into heat*. Then there are those who think that they can make a quick buck by breeding and selling puppies (or kittens). People assume that each offspring is worth X amount of dollars, and wow - multiply that by X number of offspring, and we'll be rich! This is rarely the case.

... eyes are strained, and your thoughts are spinning out of control. You would feel a lot worst than before you get into the car. But when you make the right decision to become a less aggressive driver, you start using your time in the car to relax. Driving is not like on the racetrack, plus you don’t own the road either. On the other hand try to see your driving not only as a way of getting somewhere, but as a chance to breathe and to reflect. Rather than tensing your muscles, see if you can relax them instead. I even have a few records that are specifically suited toward muscular relaxation. Sometimes I pop one and listen. By the time I reach my destination I feel mo ...

... A U.S. millionaire John Jacob Astor died trying to save his wife and children, a week later his body was found horribly mangled ("Mute Testimony Of The Wreckage" 712).
