Periodic Table

Hello! Today I am going to talk about the Periodic Table. Hint the title. For those of you who don't know what it is, it is a table that has all of the elements. As in Lead, Gold, and even Boron. On this post I will give you some of the elements, their initials, and there weight. Well it's time to get started. Come on lets go.
First of I am going to give you the initials and then I will give you name and the weight.
  1. (H)-as in hydrogen-weight 1.01
  2. (He)-as in Helium-weight 4.00
  3. (Li)-as in Lithium-weight 6.94
  4. (Be)-as in Beryllium-weight 9.01
  5. (B)-as in Boron-weight 10.81
  6. (C)-as in Carbon-weight 12.01
  7. (N)-as in Nitrogen-weight 14.01
  8. (O)-as in Oxygen-weight 16.00
  9. (F)-as in Fluorine-weight 19.00
  10. (Ne)-as in Neon-weight 20.18

Those are the first ten elements on the Periodic Table. A lot of those I have not even heard about. It is a good thing that I am learning them. Every blog I learn something new.WOW! There are a lot of elements on the Periodic Table. My favorite would have to be Gold. I like gold a lot. It is hard to find though so we have very little. That is always a sad thing when there is not enough gold to go around. What is your favorite element? Is there any elements that you would to know the facts about? Because if so just comment them onto my blog and I will post them as soon as I can. I would like to note that this is a free blog and that there are no charges for anything that you need to know about. If you ask for something that you want to know I will be sure to get it to you..

Thanks for coming and reading my blog. I hope that you learned something just like I did.

Dogs

It has been awhile since I have something free to write about. So maybe I will write about cats, guinea pigs, sibling, wait I know it.....I will talk about Dogs. The reason why I want to talk about dogs is because they are a easy subject to type about. I think you all can agree on that. Dogs are can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. Most of the time they are your best friend. Whenever I have dogs I always fall in love with them. I never like it when I see them go. So today I am going to type about one of my favorite dogs. I don't have favorites because I love them all but he is one of the best. His name was Zeke. I had gotten him when we first moved into our new home. He was a big rotreillar with a huge heart. He would never let you down. After about a year of having I had to have surgery to get my tonsils out because I was sick a lot. Once I was home Zeke was very careful around me and made sure that I would not get hurt. Whenever I would be lying down he would be right beside me keeping me warm. If he thought I was in any danger nobody could come near me until he felt that I was ok. Zeke had a nickname. It was Zekers, he also had a couple pals. Their names where Winston(Cat), and a dog name Baby. Baby was a Chahuahua . It was strange with the size difference. We had figured that Zeke would be to ruff but once Baby was home we dropped our concerns. Then we brought a cat into the family. We new that dogs and cats are known for not getting a long. So we had some concerns. But the same thing happened when we brought the cat home, all of our concerns were dropped. Zeke was in love with my grandfather. Every time he would come to visit Zeke would always freak out until my grandfather gave him attention. Zeke had a favorite toy. We had bought it at a pet store...It was a rabbit with a squeker that was broken. Zeke loved it. He was our little guard dog..so we thought. Whenever someone was at the door he would run upstairs to the balcony and have a really tough bark. But he was really just a sweet little dog that would only knock you down to lick you. That is what he had done to my best friends mom. That was really funny. Also if we played with the cat to much he would pick her up and go hide her so he could get attention. Then on the day of March 13, a Saturday I had woken up and gone downstairs to give my dog a hug and play with him. I knealed down on my knees and was petting him. Then all of a sudden he started growling at me really scary like. He was going to atack I knew it. I backed up from him and started slowly walking away. He got up and folled me. Pretty soon I was cornered and screaming for dear life. My mother was in the garage at this time and could not hear me. Everyone else was asleep. My mother heard me and rushed to my side. My father came rushing down to get my dog outside and away from me. It was our hope. I was rushed upstairs to get me calmed down and see if anything was wrong. Nothing was. During that time all I could think of was my dog and how I had to go see him. I rushed down stairs only to find out that even the slightest smell of me would set him off. He was perfectly fine with the rest of my family and so they knew it was something serious. We rushed him to the vet only to find out that he had had a stroke and had a tumor on the brain. I told my mother that he must have been saying help me please. I felt so bad. They got him on medicine so I could say my finale good byes and then they put him to sleep. We had him cremated with his favorite toy, the bunny. I miss him so much. About a month later when things were going back to normal we went and saw the lady who gave him to us. She had said that her dog had done the same thing and all it was was tick fever. How I wanted to scream. Later that year our best friends dog had tick fever but she had lived through it. I wish there was something I could have done. Now I wake up in the morning say hi to my dogs and look back at the past when Zeke was still alive. If only you could have known him. This post is dedicated to my dog ZEKE. Care free, helpful, funny Zeke. May you rest in peace Zeke! May you rest in peace. I hope that you all were touched by this story. I have taken many years to get over his passing and it is still taking me more years. Zeke was that kind of pet that you just can't forget. He was not only my best friend, he was my like my little brother I always wanted. I will always remember the day we got him. We had to get a collie but she did not like us. Zeke was in the back going crazy. My mom told the lady to let him out. So she did. My dad did not want Zeke but he ended up liking him. Zeke would play tag with us. Let us play rough with him and even let us ride him. He is something that you can't forget. My dad did not want Zeke as I had said but look who stayed downstairs that night when Zeke had lonely. After Zeke had died our family had changed. Zeke was the thing that held us all together. We will never be the same family that we were when Zeke was around. If I could get another dog like him I would in a heart beat. Thank the lord that Zeke was brought into our lives. HE sure was and still is a blessing. If you ask anyone where I lived they will all tell you the same thing. Zeke was a great dog and he will never be forgotten. I remember the day that Zeke died every night. It plays in my head like it was yesterday. I remember every single word that was said and the last wimper I heard from Zeke. Those words are for me to say. Looking at him in pictures and in videos in my mind. His little spotted tonge and his big brown eyes that you would fall for in a heart beat. He will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Zeke R.I.P.

Science

Hello and welcome to Guinea Pig 101. Today I am going to try to as cool as possible on teaching some science stuff I have learned in the past couple weeks. You may need an adult to help you read because I have some pretty big words that I am going to use. But hey, in science there has to be big words. (at least that is what I think)

Now to get on with the post before I lose my crowd. I am going to try to do the best that I can teaching you the differences and alikes of Homogenous Mixtures and Heterogenous Mixtures! I told you that I was going to use big words.

Here is a example of Homogenous Mixtures-Salt water dissolves and makes a SOLUTION. Also known as a Homogenous Mixture. Salt is saluable, which means it can dissolve in the water.

Here is a example of Hetergenous Mixtures-The sand did not dissolve in the water which made a SUSPENSION. Also known as a Hetergenous Mixture. Sand is non Saluable which means that it can not dissolve in the liquid. It will just sink the bottom.

When filtering out the water with both salt and sand in it the salt will go right through the filter because it is dissolved in the water. The sand on the other hand won't because it is to thick and does not dissolve.

Something fun to do after you have filtered water, which by the way is called a filtrate, you can put the filtrate in dish of some type and let it sit for a few days. When you come back to it you will see crystalized salt in its place instead of the liquid known as water(H2O). What happened was the water had changed to a gas leaving in its place the salt that was in the dish.

Christmas in the Spring

Now I know that you are wondering why I am going to blog about Christmas. Well I was sitting at the computer thinking about what I should blog about while I was talking to my best friend and we were starting talking about the easter bunny. Then we started talking about Santa Clause, and thats how I got the subject of Christmas.

I don't know about you but I think that Santa Clause is like a ninja. I mean he can travel all across the world in one night and not even get caught. I would love to be Santa Clause. Actually no I would not because he only has time for his toy making and all of the kids in the world. What ever happened to himself and his wife. Now I don't know about you but I like Christmas. It is a time to get together with your family and get presents. The presents part is my favorite. No I am just kidding. I like being with my family more. Because during the school year you don't get to spend much time with your family. But during Christmas break it is all about you family. That is what Christmas is all about. It is not about you, or the presents, it is about spending time with you family and remembering the day Jesus Christ was born. I think that it is time for people to realize that, and that it is time to forget about the rest of the world for one night of the week and spend some time with your family. I am going to start doing this also. It is the perfect time for everyone.

Well that is all for today. Can't wait till next time on Guinea Pig 101. Oh yeah, by the way, I am keeping my name for my blog for a little bit longer. That is until I can find a better name. Like I said before, see you next time on Guinea Pig 101. Have a good rest of the day. BBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know?

Well nobody has told me what I should name my blog so I am going to do it myself. It might take me awhile to do it but I will get done.
Today I am going to talk about random things because I am a random person. First off I do not like snow anymore. I was suppost to go to a volleyball tournament but the snow is getting in my way. Because the roads are bad I more than likely won't get to go. What a disaster.
Since I won't go to the games I will have to stay at home and babysit. Don't get me wrong I like to babysit, but I had funner things planned. Like going to the mall, staying with friends, and most of all, I was going to play some vollyball.
Volleyball is my favorite sport. It involves hard work, strength, and most of all fun. The only bad about it is that you get hurt a lot. Like last week I popped a blood vessal and it bruised up like way bad. Then one time I hurt my ankle, and then another time I ran into my friend going after the ball. Well actually I do that last thing a lot. It is REALLY easy to do and it hurts REALLY bad if you hit the ground. Whenever that happens the best thing to do is get up right away and get ready for the next hit.
I like dogs. WOW that was random, but like I said I am a random person. Dogs are cute. I like rottweilars. They are really cute and are not mean. Only if that is how you train them to be. Pit Bulls have been proven to be one of the nicest dogs in the world. They like to please their owners. Which is why people buy them for fighting dogs. But let me get something, dog fighting is mean and I hope one you are on the other side of the fight one of these days.

Guinea Pig 101

Okay, so now I bet that you are wondering why the title is Guinea Pig 101 and not something random like it has been for he past few days. Well I finnaly got to decide what I am going to post about today. So I am going to post about white tigers. The reason why is because they are like the cutest thing in the world. I know that tigers are cute but when you add that white it looks like it is a tiger that has been rolling in the snow, and I like snow. I think that they are pretty.
Did you know that white tigers are also known as Bengal Tigers, and is about 3meters long. The fur of the white tiger lies flat and it stripes are darker than a normal tiger. They have beautiful blue eyes, a pink nose, and even chocolate colored stripes. This white tiger is very rare in the wild. That is so sad. I think that we should do everything to save this beautiful animal. I mean who doesn't not like a white tiger. They are normally found in Asia and India. They like to live in places that they can be camoflauged. I think that they would be doing great except for mean pochers who kill them. I would never kill a animal. This animals body parts is used in medicine in China so if people want to make fast money they will hunt white tigers. How mean is that? If you think that that is mean leave me a comment on my blog telling me your real feelings. White tigers are very good swimmers but poor climbers. They may be slow runners but they sure can catch a meal.
That was all really interesting facts. I even learned something today writing this post. I hope you did too. If you have any feelings to share with me about this post leave a comment and I will comment back to you. Thanks for coming to Guinea Pig 101 and I can't wait to see you next time! BYE

Summer

Hello, and welcome to Guinea Pig 101! Today I am going to talk about summer. The favorite season of the year. Well, at least it is to me, and I'm sure a lot of kids like it the best too.
One thing that I like about summer is that it is hot. So, a good way to cool off in the hot sun is to take a trip to the swimming pool. Make sure that you have sun screen and a towel. The reason why you need sunscreen is because you can sun burns and sunburns hurt really bad. So the sunscreen will help protect your skin. The reason why you need a towel is so once you get out of the pool you can use to dry off, but if you don't want to dry off you can use it as a seat when you sit on the ground so it is not to hot.
The second thing that I like about summer is that you don't have school. I like school, don't get me wrong, it is just that you don't really get a lot of sleep because you have to wake up early in the morning to get ready for school. But in the summer you can stay up as late as you want and sleep in. This comes in big handy if you stay at a friends house. You don't have time during school to stay at a friends house during the school year unless you stay at their house during the a school night.
The last thing that I like about summer is that you get to go on vacations. I love to visit family, and go to water parks. What other better thing to do in the summer than to visit your family members that you have not seen in a really long time.
But, then when summer is over and the school year has begun all you can do is wait for the winter to pass and hope you don't freeze to death.
