Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog, Amanda Talks Animals! I have been thinking about this blog for a long time now and have finally decided to get it started. I am admittedly going to break a blogger "rule" at first by not posting on a regular basis, but I will gradually write more and more as I come closer to graduating this summer.

Please be open to commenting on posts to start conversations and ask questions--this is key to my blog's mission of not only educating you about animal-related issues, but to get you thinking and talking about them with others. If you have any ideas for posts, send me an e-mail and I will do my best to accommodate those requests. Also, I will incorporate references, acknowledgments, and resources to blog posts when relevant.

 Some of the topics I plan to cover in the coming months include:

• Current Events
• Animal Care Issues
• Pet Disaster Plans
• Volunteer Ideas
• Book Reviews
• Pets for Adoption
• Personal Experiences

I'm looking forward to adding new posts and hearing what you have to say about them!
