Deep Sea Creatures from Hell
As many of you know the oceans cover 70% of our planet, but most do not realize that we have only discovered about 5% of that. There are many dark and dangerous things left to explore and discover. As a young child I often dreamed of diving into dark waters to discover mermaids and other mythical creatures. Now that I am grown, I wonder about those stories of people hearing singing off of secluded shores, and the tales surrounding the Loch Ness monster. The deepest part discovered is within Mariana's trench, which lies at the bottom of the western Pacific Ocean. To give you an idea, it is about 120 times bigger than the Grand Canyon. The deepest part has been named 'Challenger Deep' after the first ship to hit the bottom. It was an estimated thirty-five thousand plus feet and a five hour descent.

All About Bunnies
Believe it or not, rabbits are the most common household pet. Okay, don't believe that, it's a lie. However, rabbits are becoming increasingly more popular as pets. There are currently just under 50 recognized breeds of rabbits weighting from pounds to usually about 10-15. The heaviest rabbit was recorded at a solid 55 pounds. Naturally, he was elected as the president of the bunnies and started a campaign against being hunted.

The Truth Behind Dog Breeding
Have you ever seen one of those sad puppy commercials on television with the hungry dogs in the animal shelters? Whenever I see one of these commercials I feel a sudden urge to grab my dog and hug him. My eyes begin to water and heartache begins to take over my emotions. Sadly we humans are doing much more than we may realize to contribute to the high numbers of hungry dogs on the streets and in shelters. One aspect that plays a major role in this issue is the support of dog breeding. Throughout this piece of writing I hope to inform my readers of the unethical and immoral aspects of dog breeding. I will be explaining the great lack of responsibility being displayed when choosing to breed or to buy from a breeder over making the choice to adopt, especially when there are easier alternatives available. I will discuss the overpopulation crisis that many dogs in the US face every day. I will also go on to explain why these dogs are overpopulated in the first place, as well as provide ways that anyone, even you, can help this cause.

Omar's Diary for Saturday 20th Jan 2018
My own Servants were finally able to spend more time around home this Saturday than they have been able to do so since May 2017. Up until last weekend they were fully committed for every weekend and bank holiday to looking after their equines. Equines must be so inferior to felines as they have been so demanding of my Servant's time. Alas now, they are being looked after full-time by other members of the Servant's species.

Store-bought dog food these days don't entirely taste great to many dogs.

It gets boring, right? You can even get sick of the same food. And pups shouldn't have to go through this.
