Not long ago I was in a place that I would call Paradise... I was sitting on the balcony of my room, and looking out at a Jungle that was kind of a Swampy area and had not been developed yet. They had started bulldozing the palm trees, and all of the other vegetation down. I could see they were hauling in sand to build up the wet areas. This was home to much wildlife but, was soon going to be another pink hotel like the one I was in. It was then that this song came to mind.
Joni Mitchel singing " Big Yellow Taxi "
They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees Put 'em in a tree museum And they charged the people A dollar and a half just to see 'em Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer Put away the D.D.T. now Give me spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees Please! Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
Late last night I heard my screen door slam and a big yellow taxi Took away my old man Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
I said don't it always seem to go that you dont know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
I want to thank everyone that stopped by here, and left me prayers, and offered me support over the past two weeks! Your words of kindness, prayers, and concern was very much needed, and helped me a lot. I am happy to know that I have so many good friends here on the stream. Thanks again, and I will start soon at answering all of the comments,plus a new post I hope tomorrow.
Yesterday I heard there is a law in California that was passed or will be passed soon that requires all pet owners to have their pets spayed or neutered by the age of 4 months. The only exempt ones would be breeders, and show dogs! I believe we should spay or neuter our pets but, I also think the breeders that are allowed to have dogs for breeding should be subjected to, random inspections to make sure the dogs that are being bred are being well cared for, and their breeder dogs are healthy, their facilities be clean, and comfortable. No more puppy mills like you see in this video! So what do you think? Would you want to buy a puppy that came from a place like you see in this video? Many puppies on the market, and some pets stores do buy their puppies from puppy mills where the conditions are horrible. These people are in the business to make money, and thats all they care about! "DIRTY LITTLE SECRET" PUPPY MILLS
