I have done a little research on westies and was looking for a breed of dog that would best fit into my family. I wanted to know two things from those of you who have owned or own a westie currently. How hard they are to train and how severe the shedding is. I have looked up different sites on westies and they all disagree how difficult it is to train this breed of dog. So I thought I'd ask you guys.Thank you in advance for your time and answers. :)

I figured that it would have to be your primary care physician, but my dr. is arrogent and condescending and I wouldn't be comfortable discussing my mental health with him. I am eventually going to switch drs, but I was wondering if there was anyone else who could diagnose something like that in the meantime or if it has to be the primary physician.

Thank you for your assistance- I appreciate it :)

I am usually more comfortable with realistic fiction, but I figured I'd give poetry a try. I know this poem is a bit simplistic with the lines rhyming one after the other in a sort of couplet form, but like I said... it's not an area that I feel comfortable with.

I Will Rise

I will rise

I will touch those eternal blue skies

I will rise

You are not my superior

but my inferior

you cannot see that my blood runs the same rusty red

it's all a sick delusion in your head.

Your cutting remarks

It's all just for show- simply firecrackers and sparks.

I will rise

and won't you be in surprise?

I'll leave you there- tethered to those darkened grounds

where your only company will be your own pitiful sounds.

I'll be in that big wide open sky

I will fly

I will rise

I won't hear you spew your hatred and lies

because my dreams

are as bright as the morning sunbeams.

I will rise

I won't have to hide under this foolish disguise

I wont be afraid,

that you have all your sinister traps laid.

You won't keep me caged any longer

My heart beats stronger.

And my scars are more beautiful than your graceless perfection

I soar toward an ethereal direction

you will not slow me down

with your insidious frown.

I will continue to rise

I don't care if it's me you despise.

Because I will be free

can't you see

That your poisonous harpoons no longer stick in my side

and that my golden wings shine with pride.

You will wish you had loved me when you could

You will utter with your broken lips “Why wasn't it I that had understood?”

You I will forgive

I have so much for which to live

because I was beautiful enough to rise.

I have gotten a few of my written works out onto a website... booksie to be more accurate, and I was looking to take the next step... I would like to start sending my works to literary magazines, in the hopes of getting published. So my question is... what literary magazines have you found that have worked for you?

Ok, I'll make this brief. I'm having a major case of writer's block and can't seem to put anything down on paper. So my question is... What do you do to get through writer's block?

I would like as much feedback as possible and am open to suggestions.

For an English class I wrote a short story, based on the novel The Great Gastby. It was Gastby's perspective and I was wondering if it would be an infringment if I published it on an online website, after writing that the characters and story was not my own. I will take any advice that you have to offer... Thanks!
