HubMob Weekly Topic: All about animals.

1. 84

   Princessaposted 6 years ago

   Hello Hubbers, thank you to all the HubMobsters who took part in last week's Easter HubMob  Our work is done for the Easter holidays, now we can just sit and enjoy those chocolate eggs while we wait for our Easter hubs to "mature" and become Top of the searches in April.
   
   This week, we are off to a completely new topic: Animals.
   
   
   
   We are going to pass from the very seasonal Easter topic to an evergreen topic.  This week we are going to be writing about animals.  We all have some knowledge on the topic, whether you are a professional in the area or you just happen to have pets, or even if you don't own any animal but you are engaged in
   raising awareness about animal welfare and endangered species, this is the opportunity to share your views about animals.
   
   Some ideas for this week's topic are:
   Animal welfare
   Animal rights
   Pets
   Exotic pets
   Farm animals
   Zoo animals
   Endangered species
   Marine life
   Insects and bugs
   How to teach children about animal care
   Advice on solving small problems with your pet
   
   To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
   
   1. START YOUR HUB clicking the .  green button.  Then choose the "MAKE A HUB ABOUT IT" option.
   
   2. Choose a relevant title for your Hub to get a good ranking in the search engines, AVOID starting your title with "Weekly HubMob"
   
   3. Include the HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/question/113391/hub … ew&rss
   
   4. Add the HubMob graphic  created for the topic by  wyanjen
   
   5. Categorize your hub according to your topic. 
   
   6. Create good quality original content.
   
   7. After you publish your HubMob Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why. 
   
   Thanks for taking part in the Weekly HubMob!

      I am very new to Hubpages and HubMob so I hope I'm doing this right.
      Recently, a friend of mine almost lost her dog after he got into a pack of sugar free gum that he found.  It turns out that the ingredient Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs.  According to her vet, the number of Xylitol poisoned dogs which he sees is still on the rise even though the dangers have been known (to some )for years.  I didn't know and I am a dog owner.
         So, I hope this is helpful to some fellow dog owners out there.

       Go back to the RSS feed link in Princessa's initial post.  Right click and select "copy hyperlink", or "copy link location", NOT merely "copy".  Alternatively, click on the link taking you to the RSS, then copy the URL from the navigation bar.

    Here's one I just got done writing about sloths.  They fascinate me.  I'm liking this week's topic more and more as the days go by...

    Another animal hub:
    This time about humpback whales
    http://hubpages.com/hub/humpbackwhales
    
    Writing about animals is easy compared to some of the more complicated articles that I write (such as about Magnesium, or cell phone radiation, or the multiverse).

    Did you experience being beaten by a dog? I became a victim, recently. It was not puncture or lacerated wounds but I still felt vulnerable of the incident.I love dogs; in fact, I have one pet at home.

       Sorry for your frightening experience.  I believe the word you're looking for is "attacked" by a dog.  (Trying to be helpful, not critical.)

    I've written one about cat declawing. It's something that's very close to my heart as I love cats and can't imagine why anyone would want to harm their pet in this way.

       I am a volunteer with a dog rescue group. I mainly do transport for the dogs to foster homes, and am in awe of all the work the rest of the group does, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyful. My hub chronicles a week in the life of a dog rescue group.
