Just Some Thoughts and a Review of My Lesson

I am a dog person who also loves cats. Through my own experiences as a dog owner, and from what I have heard through other pet owners, I have learnt a lot of about how to be a responsible dog owner.

The other day, I went blank when a teacher asked me some questions about the moral obligations of pet ownership. I didn't know how to respond to such questions in a casual atmosphere.
One of that teacher's questions was whether it is acceptable for a dog to bark.
My answer would be yes, although I don't think it is acceptable in a public place or on the street.

I had a dog who had epilepsy and had taken anti-seizure medication every day. One day, I went to the ball park to see a baseball game, leaving my dogs alone in the house because he hadn't had any seizures for a week. When I got home, he was already gone and my other dog was licking his cold body while barking. It took me a very long time to get back to normal life from the grief.

Therefore, my answer to the teacher's question would be "yes" because my dogs' barks make me feel relieved. I know I'm selfish as a dog owner, but If they stopped to barking, I would start to worry that this was a sign of a serious medical problem. Not selfish at all; you just care about your dogs a great deal! I also think that dogs bark when they lose a friend. [is this correction OK?] 

When I lost my dog, some people left me, but I still have friends who ask me whether things are going well. When things are at rock bottom, you might become an emotionally-numb like I had a long time ago. I can tell you that after the rain comes a rainbow. well put :)

Also, I have met some potential teachers and language exchange friends on italki. Hopefully our friendships will last for a long time and we will all get closer to our own goals.

Thank you for reading this (I'm pretty sure I am making many mistakes again...!)

Really well written, Ai, and very sad :(

I'm so sorry to hear this. You're not at all a "selfish" pet owner for having these feelings!

Just Thoughts and Review My Lesson

I am a dog person who loves cats as well. Through my own experience as a dog owner or and from what I have heard through other's from other pet owners, I have been learning a lot of about how to be responsible.

The other day, I went blank when a teacher asked me some questions about the moral obligations involved in being a pet owner of pet ownership. ( Sorry if I was wrong...) I didn't know how should I respond in a casual atmosphere.

One of that teacher's questions was that if the dog's bark is whether it is acceptable to allow a dog to bark acceptable.  My answer would be if you mean it hypothetically then "would be" is perfect; otherwise, if you mean the answer you gave the teacher, then you need to say "was" instead. yes although I don't change this to "didn't" instead of "don't" if you change "would be" to "was" mean it is acceptable in a public place or on the street.

I had a dog who had epilepsy and had taken who was taking anti-seizure medications every day. One day, I went to the ball park to see a baseball game, leaving my both of my dogs alone in the house because he the one with epilepsy hadn't had seizure for a week.

Then, when I got home, he was gone already dead and my other dog was licking his cold lifeless body and barking. It took me a very long time to get back to (having) a normal life from or "because of all of" instead of "from" the grief.

Why would my answer would be yes? It's because my dogs' you use the pronoun "they" in the next sentence so dog should be plural here in this case and means any dogs that you might own. barks barking makes me feel relieved. I know I'm selfish as a dog owner, but If they stopped to barking, I would start to worried worry that it can could be a sign of a serious medical problem.

I also think that there are several reasons why a dog might bark, some reason if dog barks as my dog barked had when his buddy was gone passed away.

Since when I lost my dog, some people have left me, but on the other hand or simply "however" instead of "but on the other hand", some people still keep asking keep in contact with me and ask this sounds a little more natural to me whether things are going well with me. When things are at rock bottom, you might get an emotionally numb like I had a long time ago back then "back then" sounds more natural to me. I can tell you though that after the rain comes a rainbow.

Also, I had have met some of potential teachers and language exchange friends on italki. Hopefully it our friendships will last for a long time and I hope we could can "can" sounds a little more natural to me here in American English get closer to our each other's goals. Thank you all for reading this (I'm pretty sure I am making many mistakes again...!)

I think you are right about there being instances in which it is acceptable for dogs to bark. For instance, if someone is breaking into your home, they should bark to alert you of any danger and also of the breakin. Likewise, if their buddy dies or is having trouble healthwise, they should bark so you can check up on the other animal and call a vet if the situation requires one. I definitely believe that if someone is attacking or threatening you, then they should bark as well, not only to ward off the attacker but to also draw attention from others that someone is trying to hurt you physically. Great job on this, Ai! :)
