I chose google  scholar which was cited 135 related articles. I looked at an article of Effects of Phenotypic Characteristic on the Length of Stay of Dogs at Two No Kill Animal Shelters.  The abstract showed the younger puppies had the shorter length of stay.  Medium size dogs had the greatest length of stay.  The extra small dogs and puppies remained in the shelter the least amount of time.  Their findings showed  that the different traits of the animals in a specific shelter and their different characteristics that is desired by the people adopting  them are critical for them to improve the welfare of animals served by that shelter.  The other article I read was Behavioral Reasons for Relinquishment of Dogs and Cats to 12 Shelters.  This shelter is sponsored by the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy is a national research project designed to explore the characteristics of these cats and dogs and the reasons for their relinquishment.  They look at the aggression of the animals to humans.  It didn’t show any thing towards his, or how many times they are mated, or the amount of babies they have had, or if they we pure bread status or not.  The associations were found between relinquishment and the number of pets in a household, length of ownership, training, age of pet, the difference between the state and the income level of the owners.

I looked at the other websites you listed. I didn't know so many different ones existed. I am using power point for my project. I have looked at power point and I like the things I saw so at this time I choose to use it. I would be afraid at this point to try and use something different because it may not all work out for me and I will be stuck trying to tell about something I wasn't so sure about. I am not familiar with the other websites. I should stick with this one because I am a little more familiar with it.

The shelter I visited on Reddit was so much in need for staff, money, space, food, etc.  They had a lot of animals a total of ninety three.  They have about thirty five dogs coming daily.  The animals suffer because of the lack of essentials and space.  This network was useful in finding information for my paper.   I didn’t know it existed.  Now that I know about it I will use it because it seems to be beneficial to me. This is a very useful  source and you can find other valuable information from other sources that is listed to be used in class. I don’t use social media because I was not aware of it until I took this course.  I will be using it a lot to do other things now that I know about it.  I do plan to use these different source engins.

Same Sex Marriage

I was thinking about same sex marriage as being an American value.  Gay people have the same rights to the constitution of The United States as every- one else does.  I think marriage is a right we all have including gays under our constitution.  The fallacies can be appeal to the people and ad populum.

The author is Ezra Klain and he is very knowledgeable about his material.  I goggled this person.  He is a colonist with Washington Post.  His background and interest is in Political Science and budget policy which makes him an authority on the subject matter.  His article states that he doesn't understand the Republican position on the sequester.  His reasoning in explaining what he thinks the position of the Republicans budget talks are cut the deficit, cut entitlement spending, protect defense spending, and possibly even increase it, simplify the ax code by cleaning out deductions and loopholes and lowering the tax rates.  The Republicans don't want that deal.  They prefer to sequester the deal which means they will get less on the deficit, basically nothing on entitlements, tax codes, and tax rates and they  will hurt themselves on defense spending.  They fallacy is appealing to authority.  This means using the opinion or position of an authority figure, or institution of authority, in place of an argument.  Also it could be a slippery slope which means asserting that if we allow A to happen, then Z will consequently happen too, therefore  A should not happen.

Thank you for having the lady from special collections today.  I had forgotten all about that department. She was very informative.  I can use special collections if the need arrives because my topic is about the no kill animal shelters and adoptions.  There are so many different articles down there to use in doing my references.  I could use magazines and newspaper articles from some time ago up to present time if there is a need for information.  There are also periodicals there to look through that is also very informative.  Since we are learning how to look in different directions through different data bases, special collections should not be too difficult to use.  If there is any problems from the usage there are always wonderful people there to help you.  Again I would like to say thank you for having this wonderful knowledgeable lady to speak to us today.  I look forward to working with her and her department of special collections.
