The Animal Medical Center is one of its own in new york, working to save with their 24 hour emergency services.
So today we talked more about topic sentence paragraphs. We discussed that the topic sentence should always be followed by the supporting body. In some cases you also want to make the next paragraph hold hands with the previous one.

Our reaction towards the first part of the article was very surprising. The way we interpreted that was because it seems all three of the characters suffer from more then one illness. No matter what the medical problem is, they love each other and will stop at nothing to make each other happy.
As we continued reading, we came to realize that the cat is less of a pet but more of a family member. The cat is being treated like their own child. Shawn is was willing to spend $400 to get her teeth pulled. "Honestly I wouldn't spend $400 on a pet," said Joe. "Well I fall in love with my pets so i would be willing to spend that money on it," said Joey.
As you can see we have two very different point of views, but we what we both agree on is that if you love some one or something very much, you wold go the extra mile to make them happy.

1. We came to the conclusion that the next essay will be about cats born or living with a medical condition. The reasons why, both the vocabulary words and the title of the essay introduce the fact that both subjects will be combined for the idea of cats with medical conditions.
2.There is an importance for pets in our lives, playing a huge role as a member of the family, but in other cases they aren't just pets, they are heroes. For example, police and military dogs risk there lives to save other lives everyday in various scenarios.
