# 7 Pet Day

Pet Day is a new holiday. It became a holiday when one woman realized that there was a day to honor mothers and fathers, but there was no day to honor pets. She liked her dog so much that she took one day out of the year to have it be all about him. She told some of her friends, who also loved their pets about it, and then they started celebrating their pets one day a year too. More people found out about the day, and it became so popular that it became a holiday. On Pet Day, people with pets will do what ever their pet enjoys doing best. For example, if one had a dog that loved to go on walks, the pet owner would take his or her dog for a walk. The pet owners also give gifts to their pets on pet day. They might get their pet something like a new collar, their favorite treats, or a toy. Petco gets lots of business around this holiday. It's like Hallmark around Valentine's day. Buying presents is how people get ready for the holiday. There isn't any special way to decorate for Pet Day. It is a lot like Mother's Day and Father's day, and there aren't decorations for those holidays. One tradition of Pet Day is to have a big feast with all your friends and family who also love pets. The true meaning of this holiday is to show your pet how much you care about them.

#6 The Law

Some people talk face to face like they do when they text. These people abbreviate words when they speak. Common words I've heard abbreviated are dec for decent and nas for nasty. I think this is okay to be seen in a text, but in my opinion it is absolutely ridiculous when you're having an actual conversation. Why do people do this? It is not hard at all to say full words. The people who abbreviate words when they talk are very irritating. Abbreviating words has become so common that people can't even have a normal, intelligent conversation anymore. There is going to be a new law that will hopefully get the number of people who do this to decease. The law is that no one can abbreviate words when they talking in person. Violators of this law will have to pay a fine of twenty-five dollars anytime they abbreviate a word. This law will also effect people who say OMG instead of saying oh my god. Other words or phrases that will no longed be allowed are LOL and IDK. This new law will be enforced starting December 1, 2008. You better start to use full words when you talk, or you'll have to pay the price.
