Hi everyone, I have not meant to neglect any of my readers, I have just been extremely busy working on the new company/domain. AnimalLoversInternation.com, will allow me to provide so much more animal information to everyone. I have not given up on Pet Purfection and am hoping to eventually combine the two but for the moment, I will be merging alot of the important topics that are here into AnimalLoversInternational.  I have made a few new friends from this site and I put alot of effort into it, however, I have not received the interest needed or have the capabilities here to provide the type of service I want to extend to animal lovers.  All I can ask from any animal lover who happens to read this... please send me topics you are interested in learning about. Give my new site a week or so more and check it out. The dog breed listing is completed and all the links are working properly - this will be a great tool for anyone interested in aquiring a dog but not sure what kind would be best for them. We currently have over 1288 breeds of dogs listed. This is functioning and can be accessed at http://www.AnimalLoversInternational.com the cat breed listing should be completed shortly. All the breed names are on the list, I am currently working on getting a link for each breed entered for them.

I have not been neglecting this site, although it may seem like it. In all actuality I have purchased a domain name, that will forever belong to me.  I am very excited, although little confused...lol as this new production venture is leading me to learn more and more about web development.  This website and domain address will allow me to take my website to the level that our animal friends are worthy of. While I enjoy this website and have put a lot of time and effort into it... it does not let me display articles and information to my liking. It also will not hold in its memory the amount of animal information that is going into our current data bases.  The new domain will be geared towards animals of all kinds, but have very specific topics for pets and companion animals.  I will also be able to have sections of animals products and so on.  Anyways, excitement is mounting by the day.. Readers please utilize this site for ideas and project implementations you would like to see.. in the meantime if you would like to visit the new domain, (remember... just got it 2 days ago so pls be patient with me)...http://animalloversinternational.com

One of the very hardest parts of setting up a home business, or working from home is Balancing.  Trying to balance family requirements, and have everyone understand that when you are on the computer, etc. you are WORKING!   I know I will occasionally hop over to my games. Geez sometimes my poor old brain just needs a break, but all in all, it is very difficult to train yourself and your family to understand that a job is a job..   Working from home requires a ton of self discipline.  Now the benefits of working from home are countless, once the balancing part is completed..

I have just finished reading my rss feeds for today and have been sickened by the Associated Press story out of Waverly, OH. Three (3) people have been accused of letting rats eat off the toes of a 6 wk old baby girl!  This is just disgusting! What is wrong with us as a species???? We as humans have to ability and potential to do so much good. Can someone please tell me why we repeatedly and consistently as a species CHOOSE to do so much evil?  I know, I know this is just a minute case in the many billions of cases of what humans as a species choose to do to each other and to the animals of the world. I can't help it... I just don't get it!

Oh Geez, it's Tuesday morning about 7:04 am, I have been here for over an hour and have nothing accomplished. It's pouring outside and in about 2 hours I have to take my son to the hospital for tests. Found out yesterday that he's going to be a father, which makes me.. going to be a grandma... exciting. I just pray the doctors can get him healthy again, he's going to need it with the upcoming blessing in his life.

It's Monday morning and the sun is shining. What a beautiful day! Somewhere along the line, I feel like I'm missing a day. I really thought today was Sunday...ha.. no wonder my husband is always teasing me about loosing my mind... think the cobwebs snuck back in over the weekend...It was however a very productive weekend. We actually have a friend helping! I am so excited! This will enable me to get a link for each dog breed so much quicker.  I've added some updates to the site over the weekend, but have been mostly working on the dog database.  My eyes are very tired today, just broke out the good old morning pepsi.. Sure hope it helps!

Ok, now I know why I can't find a complete listing a-z of animals anywhere on the web, I am sure there may be one somewhere buried in some scientific genius's computer. However, I am not a genius nor do I have that type of storage capability for memory, even on a paid site. So what will be done is: a database in alphabetical order per species. This should make it more interesting for our readers. As I can't see someone interested in dogs, paging through thousands and thousands of names that don't mean anything to them, but in the event someone is doing a reaserch project or report, they could access the different data bases to utilize the information as needed. This will also enable me to feel I am making accomplishments to and it will make it easier for new species or breeds to be added or corrections to be updated. With that thought out and said... There are only 1/2 of the hybrid species of dogs and extinct breeds left to be added. Then I will remove the animals that don't belong on this report from the data base and we will have to my best ability a workable dog listing. At the moment it doesn't contain a link for each and every species but that will be my next major project, then on to cats,.....birds, rodents, etc. 

Yesterday I had reported that I had the dog reseach completed for database. This morning I see a news announcement regarding English Bulldogs.  Old English Bull dogs, according the wikipedia were extinct. So I started searching and found people advertising Old English Bull dog puppies for sale. Now I know there are scams everywhere. But what I need to know for sure is... ARE THEY EXTINCT OR NOT?  More confusion, more research required... Between getting rejected yesterday by the turkey group and now this I am frustrated.  Really wish I had more animal lovers commenting and viewing my work. Oh well, It is what it is.... time to get back to work.

Friday late afternoon and I just received my rejection to join a turkey forum. Can you believe it... all I wanted to do was learn more about rare turkey breeds so I could provide information to my readers and they don't want me to... go figure! Ah another stumbling block.. it would have been so easy to have the information from the people who breed them just pop into my email.. I now will have to search and search to find out information on them... I just don't get it, why would educating people about rare turkey species be a bad thing???? Unbelievable to me... anyways... on a brighter note, my son isn't critical, just important and I have finished compiling all the lists of dog breeds including the ones that have become extinct.  So anyways to the turkey rejection... go fly.. I'll find out the information on my own.  Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday afternoon.

Well we are working towards the end of another week! What an up and down week this has been. Last night I was reading about boxes and drop down menus, etc. I have so much to learn.  Once I can wrap around the concept of how to utilize this, I believe the website will be easier to use and I can get more information in it. I also need to learn how to do the linking to url information better. I have deleted my search box for the time being.. as my site just isnt big enough for it really to be of use. Once it is upgraded I will be putting this tool back. I already have extremely few visitors and very little input, don't want someone to use something that makes them say this was stupid... so.. anyways
