Part 2: Read The Blog. Read the entry in Jessica’s blog and then answer the questions. August 21, 2007 Hello friends! This is my first blog entry for August! I have been very busy. I haven‟t had much time to write on my blog. This month, I was a volunteer at an animal shelter for two weeks. I love animals, so I had a lot of fun! I helped the veterinarian to take care of the strays. I also helped to clean the animals‟ cages. There was a very sweet dog there. I fell in love with him! I hope I can adopt him! I want to share my animal photos with you. Please click on the picture on the left to see my online album. You can record your ideas on my online journal. Please give me details so I can be a better photographer! The cute dog at the shelter Last week, I bought a video camera. I want to make a video to put on my blog. I want to go back to the animal shelter and film the cute strays. So check my blog again later!
