Smurf-tastic

Look at these crazy people at this college in England. They are dressing up like smurfs. It is very stupid. I like smurfs, but not painting your body and dressing like them. I wonder what goes on at a smurf party?!? (The story: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Smurf-World-Record-In-Swansea-Two-and-A-Half-Thousand-People-Dress-As-Smurfs/Article/200906215299574 .)

Animals Need Your Help!

Firefighters need pet-sized masks on their trucks for pets rescued in a fire and who cannot breathe. You can buy the oxygen masks (to donate) on these websites: http://www.petsamerica.org/programs.html or http://www.wagn4u.com/pet_oxygen_masks.html or donate money. The firefighters had to breathe in the animals noses to help them breathe and they cannot use people masks because their size is wrong. If you have a pet, then it would be good to buy a mask (to donate) or donate money to the fire trucks in all pet sizes.

We love our pets very much and would be very sad if our pets died because fire fighters couldn't help them. All fire fighters are heroes!

You can also buy a dog CPR dummy to help train the new fire fighters (also on this website: http://www.petsamerica.org/rescuecritters.html .) Remember to put a sticker on your house window that says you have a pet or pets. If you have a fire, it will tell the fire fighters you have pet(s) that need to be rescued. The government (grovermut) will not give money to the fire fighters for animal oxygen masks, because the money has to help save humans only. PLEASE HELP!

John Lennon

John Lennon was a member of The Beatles. He died though, on December 8, 1980, in front of his house.

He was born in England in the middle of World War II. Nazis (natse) were dropping bombs (booms) near the hospital. His mother Julia Lennon was poor. But her sister Mimi Smith was not and took care of him (John). She was like his second mother. He went to two schools Dovedale and Quarry Bank. He passed the 11-plus test, which got him a bike from his favorite uncle and he moved to Quarry Bank. John loved poetry and art. Also, he had to get glasses when he was a kid. His mother got him liking rock music. And when he was a kid, his favorite uncle and his mother died. He was really sad.

John and some boys made a band. The Beatles are really "The Silver Beatles". Someone shortened it to "The Beatles". It was once called "Long John and the Silver Beatles", but John Lennon did not like being called Long John. His band also had these names: The Quarry Men, Johnny and The Moondogs and The Rainbows. They picked The Beatles to be like Buddy Holly's band The Crickets, for bugs. They changed the "e" to an "a" to add the word "beat" to their name. Paul was in the band and he understood John. He had lost his mom, too. They made songs for both their moms - "Julia" and "Let It Be".

Lots of people remember John Lennon around the world and his wish for the world was for there to be peace.

Rowdy Cat Party

One day, a family left on a trip. They left their two cats and their one dog. The gray cat's name was Swing, the orange cat's name was Bite and the dog's name was Max. Swing and Bite decided to have a party. Swing decided to run the "Terror Swing", which she calls the "Off Ground Swing". Bite ran the "Bite Max the Dog" game booth. Swing was the first person (cat) to try the game. She was terrified!

Swing said, "Let me take you behind the scenes of the Off Ground Swing ride. You tie a string to the ceiling fan, and then hold on tight. Turn on the fan and weeeeeeeeeeee! Help! Help! Help! Bite, help!"

"Coming!", shouted Bite.

"Phew. Thank youuuu, Bite.", she shivered.

"Now me, Bite, will take you behind the scenes, too. This is the Bite Max the Dog game booth. Just hide under the bed. When Max comes, just leap up and bite.", said Bite.

"Help! Stop, Bite. It is how you got your name, I guess.", screamed Max.

Bite and Swing whispered, "They're home. Take down the games and rides. Phew!"

"Bite, Swing and Max have you been good pets?", asked the family. "Hey, I don't remember leaving the fan on.", said Mom. Bite said, "Swing!"

Weasels

Someone requested for me to do a blog about weasels. I hope this helps.

The weasels are very fast. They are mammals with long, long tails and very short legs. They have a long slender body and soft brown fur. They can turn snow white in winter. Weasels have very good acute hearing. I think when they are brown and white, they look like a tabby cat. I think they are funny and cute. They love to slide on their bellies down hills. They are funny. I like weasels.

Ferrets are also weasels you can keep as pets. One time, I saw a ferret at Wal-mart. He was in a cart going down a main aisle. He was white and was owned by an old couple. He had a collar and a leash. I guess ferrets are sweet enough to go to Wal-mart, but we didn't adopt him like our dog Fink! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWl_snUToM8

Yard Sale

Saturday, we had a yard sale. I was raising money also, by setting up a lemonade stand. The lemonade, lemonade powder, bottled water and freezer pops were for raising money to buy a Hospice brick for my Grandma Bubby (The brick will have her name on it and will be in the rose garden at the Hospice Center.) I have raised or saved half of what I need.

I also sold homemade dog cookies and that money was to sponsor a homeless animal at the SPCA. There was nothing in those dog cookies that could hurt you, just some chicken bouillon (recipe from the SPCA.) Some people who could not understand English came and bought some dog cookies after we said (over and over) they were not for people. They got down our driveway and gave it to their toddler baby! I bet he hated it.

Also, some freak came and said she did not have any money to me and then tried to get my mom to buy something from her (at my mom's yard sale.) Then she asked about a shelf we were selling and I remember her saying she didn't have any money.

Then this scrag lady came and said a lot of nasty stuff to some nice people of a different race. She was ripping us off, too, wanting stuff for half price and telling us of all of her stupid troubles, which was why she was broke. Then she was asking for more stuff and pulling a wad of money from her purse. She said to prove it (her being broke) look at my front window of my car. It had blue duct tape on her front window. What a bowl of lies.

Here is a lesson on yard sales. By putting a yard sale sign up, it means a lot of crazy freaks will come stomping around in your yard, but you can get rid of stuff and get some money if you don't mind freaks.
