Today we had to put our 15-and-a-half-year-old beagle Donnie down. I'm not ok.
Sorry. You are in my prayers. It hurts losing pets we love.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it hurts. *Heartv*
I applied for the position of teacher's aid for vpk at my church. Don't know how that's going to play out. Part of me's hoping it doesn't so I can say "Oh well, I tried." {Maybe also to try and get my folks off my back about where I'm headed after school. "See, at least I tried."} There's also part of me that's excited for the road ahead, wherever that may lead. Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it.
Good luck! When you talk about after school, do you mean high school or college? You've been here quite a while, so I'm thinking college, but a teacher's aid is more a job for after high school, so I'm not sure. *Confused* Either way, GOOD LUCK! *4leaf*
There' s 30 species of mongoose in the world.
Quote of the day from the library,"It does not matter how slow you go, as long as you do not stop."

Pretty much me.

Today I remembered I was a horrible person by not remembering to make sure mom had a card on her birthday.
Really had to scramble and make things right. I don't think it's a sin to forget to make a card on your mom birthday but when she started to get upset about it felt like it should be.
Just learned not too long ago that my sponsoring teacher asked me to be reassigned. So that hurt. I really hoped I could turn things around and show her what I was capable of. But I guess that wasn't going to happen.

I guess I'll find out on Tuesday what happens. But since things are supposed to wrap up next month, Idk what good it will do.

Wish me luck you guys, apparently I'm going to need it.
Survived my first day of Internship I, overall, think things went pretty well.
Thanks to a little exploration on my part, I found you can re-review something. I didn't even realize that was a thing until today.
Hey all,

Journalistic intentions is having their 9th round starting June 1st. Take a look, give it a shot!
Journalistic Intentions  (18+)
This is for the journal keeping types that come to PLAY! New round starts June15!
I had “intentions” last month.

Just found out that lobster moth caterpillars exist, and they are weird but also cool looking.
Check out "Dystopian scrawlings" this month. If you like anything apocalypse, this could be for you. Check it out and see for yourself!
I learned today that fulmars, birds that resemble gulls, will projectile vomit an acidic solution at predators from 5 feet away. The more you know.
You needn't fear the Fulmar - you aren't likely to run across one unless you're out on the ocean and very well disguised! They're actually pretty cute, especially when in flight. I was lucky to see some migrating Razorbills (a Fulmar related to Puffins) a few weeks ago off the coast of the Outer Banks of NC -with a very strong scope on the end of a pier.

If you're worried about birds that projectile vomit acidic solutions: don't mess with a vulture! They'll do it in a snap if they feel threatened, and all you'll want is in the world is for someone to spray you down with a hose *Sick* (If you come across a vulture in distress, call a local raptor rehabilitator. In the US, google your state's Wildlife Commission website to find help. Why? Vultures play an important role in our ecosystem!)

Cheers, y'all!
(BA gets down from her amateur ornithologist soapbox.)
Today I learned that elephants are afraid of bees. Farmers will use beehives to deter them coming onto their land.
Today I learned that quokkas (some type of wallaby), will throw their young to escape predators. Apparently kangaroos will also do this.
Finally, a use for children.
Quokkas are very small, about the size of a house cat (and my daughter's favourite animal; apparently they're so "cute"), but kangaroos only do it when their young are at the age when they can leave the pouch. Basically, it's just a matter of, "You can hop - hop! Don't you be slowin' me down!" The euro (a quite primitve wallaby), though, will dump an even younger one to escape. We get euros around here and greys (grey kangaroos) more than any other macropod, so finding young euros when fixes are in breeding season (stupid introduced species) is not particularly uncommon. Unfortunately.
I looked up quokkas. They are pretty adorable, stevengepp, so I see why they are your daughter's favorite animal. *Bigsmile* Though I think I like pademelons better. But that whole kangaroo/wallaby/etc. animal group is pretty awesome. *Smile*
