I think his answer clearly identifies the reason mutts make good pets. Most people don't know that there are many health problems that arise from MAKING a "beautiful" animal. It's just a good piece of info to think about for anyone planning to own a pet.

I am not discouraging the ownership of purebreds because I agree that they are beautiful animals too.

A prefect nomination for Answer of the Day. Great job @ewpldf.

By @Pixelsilva Has everything a good answer should have - clear writing, good images and educational. May not agree with everything in the answer but that's not as important as a good solid reply :) and I learnt something about the asteroid Apophis. mahalo.com/answers/astronomy-and-space/a....

I am happy to once again nominate @gno for another of her great answers. This time it is for her answer to my question: http://www.mahalo.com/answers/mahalo2/what-kind-of-video-do-you-most-enjoy-on-a-mahalo-page-about-a-topic-informative-sexy-yet-relevant-action-filled-hoping-for-discussion#adf9c9cb10436b49a61163b1290192dad8d7cae351cc0745eb0a37db6bfa186ea What kind of video do you most enjoy on a Mahalo page about a topic? Informative?

Sexy yet relevant? Action filled? She was kind enough to elaborate on her opinion and fully answer the question.In addition to providing a general opinion she also took the time to provide a specific example related to one of the pages in question.

Nice work, @gno!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
