Our pets our medicine





Since young I always have been attached with the presence of pets. I was born in the family that has been surrounded with different kind of pets like dogs, cats, chickens and birds. Some of our neighbors said that our house could be considered as little zoo because of the animals that lived with us. Unfortunately, some of them never lived long (well that is expected). Though we shed rivers of tears of their loss we can’t do nothing but accept it. Perhaps you might say I’m insane blogging this stupid story but we raise them not just typically our pets but we treated them as part of our family. That is why when one of them lost we really dropped tears.

Since I love reading about their stories I tend to browse the internet and looking something interesting about them. And wow I just love what I read! Furred pets are allergy fighters, whether they are dogs or cats they are amazingly allergy fighter. How can that be happen? Well according to some experts in behalf of their studies, the newly born babies with pets living with them whether dogs or cats are less risky from pet allergies. Aside from that babies as well are less risky from eczema—known as a common skin allergy which causes itching and red patches. We all know that dogs or cats are dirty animals, and according to the studies children who were exposed to these animals have stronger immune system.

If you notice if you were chatting someone over the internet and if both of you are pet lovers you will end up having a great conversation together. There are said to be a good start of conversation. Well I can say that because I’ve experienced this before. In fact I often concluded that the guy who I talked to is sweet and compassionate just like the pet that he has. And studies show that cats or dogs are a good companion and a good cure as well for those elderly people who have illnesses. Especially cats because they are less burdened compared to the dogs. While for those elderly who have difficulties in walking a dog could be a good companion.

And this is very cute for me, accordingly people who have severe sickness like AIDS or high blood are less likely to experience depression compared to those people who don’t have pets with them. Especially if they are very much attached with their pets; and the bets thing is they are a great cure for those people who have heart problems. Studies show that people with heart problem live longer when they have pets compared to those who don’t have.

See how useful the pets are? Some said having pets are just a waste of time, effort and money because it is your responsibility to take good care of them. They did not realize what pets could give them in return. The benefits that they could say thank you for their pets for the rest of their life. I am so thankful for being a pet lover because they are not just typically pets but they are totally our medicine even in their own little ways.

Textism could have a positive effect on language development?

Today, the fast growing innovation of technology continues to pour into the market. As the year keeps pacing, different forms and innovation of technology have been formed. During my exploration in the internet, reading some interesting articles or online news; I was amazed by what I jus read.

We are all familiar with the use of cell phone right? As one of the most famous widely used technology nowadays, according to the recent research the use of cell phone by texting have the positive effect on language on children on how they interact with it. Accordingly, the use of textism could have a positive effect on the reading development especially to the children.

But how about the word spelling, do you think it could have a positive effect towards the children? I guess no. However, according to the research again, the use of texting doesn’t have effects on the word spelling especially to the rules of proper language. And instead, the regular use of text messages had a positive effect on their language. In fact they had proof on it so I guess there is no doubt that this report is true. Hmmm…
