Über uns » To top it all off

I received an email from an acquaintance a while back inviting me to his web page to read his latest works. I recently visited the site and began reading. The first chapter I read was rather dull and I had a difficult time keeping my mind on the story. I found myself skimming parts just to get to the good stuff. The author had failed to keep my attention.


Several chapters later I was lost with the story. I had to go back and reread several dull and over descriptive paragraphs just to figure out the connection between two characters. The little detail was tucked in a large paragraph describing a scene. He did a good job 'showing' the events taking place in the living room Women's Baker Mayfield Jersey , but gee whiz, I didn't need to know every single thing that was in the room!


I realized that by skimming the tiresome text that I may be missing more important elements of the story. So, I started over. My mind was screaming, "ok, I see it Women's Jarvis Landry Jersey , but get on with it!"


With that in mind, I sat down at my computer the other night to work on a story. I had my mind set on 'Show, Don't Tell'. I was determined to get it down right. I typed away, but soon discovered that I was boring myself. I stared at the screen and knew that if I were bored then the reader definitely would be. I realized that I was getting carried away. I read back over my text thinking as a reader. I knew after reading the first three paragraphs that I did indeed go overboard. I deleted everything, but couldn't bring myself to start again.


I began thinking about 'showing' as a reader. I know when I'm reading a story I want it to capture my interest. I don't want to be bogged down with so many details. Sure Women's Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , I want the author to show me, but don't waste my time or put me to sleep with a whole page of showing me one aspect. Show me some Drama!


I think trying to show the reader every detail all at once is a mistake. You don't have to show every single thing about a character or the setting. Give the reader a good visual and add to it if necessary. You can also slip details in with dialogue. Whatever works for the story to keep it moving is your best answer. Showing does dramatize, but too much can be distracting. It can also slow the drama down. Best advice is to read your story out loud as if you were reading to an audience. Think about what details are important to the reader at that moment and which can wait until later. Think like a reader and not the author of your own piece.


Let's think about this for a minute: God did not design our animals to eat pre-packaged, kibble or pellet-like food. In the wild, dogs don't tell each other Women's Jim Brown Jersey , "Hey, I'm hungry, let's go to the pet food store and grab us some lunch." As if!


No, together, they go out and hunt down their food Women's Bernie Kosar Jersey , then dig right in while it's still warm. Sorry about the graphic image, but well, that's nature for you! They also do not stoke up a campfire and sit around singing Kum Bi Ya while the meat gets cooked. Nope they just have at it in the natural raw form.


Now you might be thinking, "Yeah but that's wild animals, not our sweet kitties and dogs." Think again. They are and will always be carnivores. They need raw meat and bones to be healthy with a fully supported immune system. Also the raw Austin Seibert Jersey , non-weight bearing bones such as the shoulders and backs give dogs and cats strong, clean white teeth eliminating the need for dentals done under anesthesia at a veterinarian's office, something that is not only much riskier but much more expensive than feeding your dogs and cats what they were designed to eat: meat.


Your other pets such as horses, guinea pigs, birds and rabbits also need natural raw food in order to thrive. They do not forage for pellets Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , let me tell you. Many birds are omnivorous so they'll eat fruits, veggies and meat. While our other furry and feathered friends need to eat fresh fruits and vegetables.


Kim Christopher states, "Proper diet is among the more important considerations in the health maintenance of your pet and essential in the management of many diseases. To feed correctly, a knowledge of dietary nutrients and their availability is important."


And Dr. Russell Swift,"Carbohydrates are not needed by dogs(or cats). Carnivores cannot maintain long term production of the quantity of amylase enzyme necessary to properly digest and utilize the carbohydrates. In addition Sione Takitaki Jersey , the proteins in grains are less digestive than animal proteins. As a result, the immune system becomes irritated and weakened by the invasion of foreign, non-nutritive protein and carbohydrate particles."


So just what do you think most packaged pet foods commonly know as premium kibble contain? Grains. Byproducts. Toxic preservatives.


The question would then arise, if pet food manufacturers know this (they must because they're in business to know) why are these things added to our pet food and why are we told that these packaged foods are so good? Even our mainstream veterinarians are selling these foods to us.


Good questions. Part of the reason is because it's cheaper to use grains and byproducts. Byproducts can be anything we'd normally throw out such as beaks, feathers Greedy Williams Jersey , feethooves, euthanized animals, road kill, you name it. It all gets rendered and added into our packaged pet foods.


Oh but it gets better. These foods are then baked. Here is what Dr. Betty Lewis stated on her website, "What's wrong with commercial foods? The number one item which makes commercial foods inappropriate for pets is that these foods are cooked. No one has ever reported seeing wild animals routinely barbecuing their meals! Raising the temperature of food above 118?F destroys all the enzymes and many of the nutrients."


To top it all off David Njoku Jersey , in order to be able to say that these commercial foods have all the needed nutrients in them, they SPRAY on the nutrients. To get more details on this pick up the book by Ann Martin, Foods Pets Die For.
