• A six-year old collie lay battered and
  helpless by the side of the road. The car that

  hip, and smashed her jaw. It had also blinded
  her, and she whimpered in pain and fear.
• Unfortunately, this true story happens much
  too frequently because of the growing problem of
  pet overpopulation. Having grown up on a farm
  with animals of all kinds, I care deeply about

Feng Shui Conclusion

• In conclusion, we have taken a look at one of
  Chinas most time-honored traditions. Weve seen
  what feng shui is and then put this ancient art
  into practice. Although we looked at how feng
  shui works in a typical dorm room, you can apply
  the principles of feng shui to your home, office,
  or apartment.
• Now as I walk into my dorm room, I no longer
  cringe at those wind chimes loud clanging or
  avoid touching them at all costs. Instead I swing
  the door right into them and smile. It may be
  noisy, but it sure is good chi.
