Why I choose to be a vet c:

Since I was a child I want to be a pet’s doctor because I really love animals. I always want to work with them and I usually was saving animals of the streets and take them home, but while I was growing up my mom and too many others peoples tell me that veterinarian is not a good career, so I start to think in another career that I like. I think in many options, like medicine or nursing, also I was thinking in astronomy or math teacher, architecture or join to army, chemist or an engineer and a lot of others careers. Finally the time of choose only one came, and I was talking with my mother for a long time. My mom understood that I really want to study veterinarian medicine and she leaves me apply to that career. I do not know yet what job I want to have( I hope that I can decide before I finish the career jejeje), even so I was thinking about work in a zoo or in a natural reserve because I like everyone kind of big wild animals.

About cows:

• Tick damage: Ticks can cause severe damage to cattle, particularly around the udder and ears. The wounds will often get infected with bacteria and might be attacked by flies.
• Tick-borne diseases: Ticks can also infect cattle with redwater, gallsickness and eartwater. European breeds tend to be at greater risk from these diseases than ndigenous and Brahman type breeds. Older animals are more at risk than young animals for redwater and gallsickness.
• Redwater: Redwater is caused by the blue tick. Left is the male with the female on the right. Signs of redwater are fever, lack of appetite, red urine, pale to yellow gums and eyes, and sometimes nervous signs such as difficulty in walking. This disease can lead to deaths if the animals are not treated in time.

• Gallsickness: Apart from being passed to cattle by ticks, gallsickness can also be spread among cattle by blood, for example by biting insects, dehorning and injecting the animals with the same needle. Signs of gallsickness are depression, lack of appetite, fever, pale to yellow gums and eyes, as well as constipation.The animal can be sick for a longer period than in the case of redwater or heartwater.
• Heartwater: Signs of heartwater are fever, depression, high-stepping, leading to convulsions and death.

About rabbits:

I choose the rabbit because I have one of pet. http://www.myhouserabbit.com/care.php I like this web site because explain a lot of things about pet rabbits, like how take care of them, the behavior of rabbits and explain to a new owners of rabbits how treat with the bunny.

A Country that I want to visit

I want to travel and live in a lot of countries, but the country that attracts more my attention is South Korea.

I have interested in South Korea when I met Shinee and I would like go there because I like the Asian culture and I want to know how the South Korean people live. A freak date of this country is that in some buildings they don’t have fourth floor, they are scared from that word because it sounds like the word dead in Chinese.

If I visit South Korea someday, the first thing that I will do is go to know the SM Entertainment (I want to know the Shinee’s work place *-*) then I will travel around the country to meet people and know more places like temples and parks.

If I can, I would like to live and work here for a time, because I want to know so many places and have the opportunity of live like South Korean people more than a few weeks.

I hope that I can go to South Korea some day in my life; I really want to know that country.

I choose the Toy Fox Terrier breed, because I love it and I have a one.

The toy fox terrier is a small dog, but they can be a disaster inside the house. They were originating in United States. Toy Fox Terriers are ratters and natural hunting, so they are good at ability sports. Generally they need regular visits to the vet, they have an easy grooming and are easy to train.

Expressing my opinions c:

• I agree with same sex relationships; because I think that people have right to fell in love with anyone they want, no matter race, sex and religion and for the persons who says that is not natural, look the animals, they don’t care about the sex.
• About the organ donation I also agree with that, when you die your organs stop working and you didn’t need they anymore, so why don’t give a second opportunity to a person who need it?
• I the case of have Tattoos and piercings, I thing that is good if and when the person didn’t abuse of they. Because it look weird and everything is bad in excess. 
• I’m in complete disagree with racist people; we all are peoples, the color of our skin is just a quality and be black or white, Asian or natives, didn’t make you less person or more person.
• About having exotics pets, I agree with have one if and when the person has care about it and the exotic animal was allow to have one. Because the animas who born in captivity can’t be free so need someone to have care about them.
