A 10-month-old dog named Picasso is exiting a very blue period in his life, thanks to an Oregon dog rescue group.

Picasso was born with a facial deformity (畸形)that makes it look as if his nose is going right while his jaw goes left. Except for that, Picasso is healthy, according to Liesl Wilhardt, director of Luvable Dog Rescue. “He can eat sideways, but he’s a very messy eater,” she said. “Same with water.”

Pioasso was one of the five baby dogs born last year in Porterville, California. But his owner abandoned Picasso because he was unable to sell such an ugly dog, and it was taken to the Porterville Animal Shelter,

It was close to being euthanized (使安乐死)before Wilhardt found out about it from Shannon Corbit, a volunteer at the shelter, “I asked her if she had any dogs with special needs, because I felt we could take some on,” Wilhardt said. “She said, “Yeah, there’s a dog with a facial deformity,’ and I fell in love with his picture.”

That was two weeks ago. Since then, Picasso’s unique look has made him widely known online. Even so, there are plans to have that upper canine(犬齿)removed in the near future. Once Picasso’s tooth is fixed, he and Pablo, another dog, will be put up for adoption.

“They are very attached,” she said. “These two have come to rely on each other for security, comfort and support. Both dogs are perfect for an active family with older kids, Picasso is outgoing, happy? curious and lovely. He’s so unaware of how different he is.”

Every March, the country celebrates the accomplishments of women in American history. Even though these accomplishments go back a long way, most schools didn’t start focusing on women pioneers and their achievements until recently. Today, most colleges offer classes in women’s history and most schools teach kids about the many contributions women have made to our country.

On March 19,1911, a German woman named Clara Zetkin organized the very first International Women’s Day. Inspired by American working women, the annual event took on the causes of peace and women’s rights. In the 1960s t the women’s movement caused women to wonder why they weren’t included in the history books.

By the 1970s, more female historians began to look back at the contributions of women in history. In 1978, a California school district started Women’s History Week to promote the teaching of women’s history. School officials picked the week of March 8 to include International Women’s Day. It was so popular that, in 1981, Congress passed a law making the week a celebration for the entire country. The concept of studying women f s history continued to grow in popularity. In 1987, a group or women asked Congress to amplify the celebration. That same year, Congress declared the entire month of March National Women’s History Month.

Today, schools and communities across the country celebrate the month with special lessons and activities designed to teach the ways women have helped shape the U, S. The women who have worked hard to make Women1 s History Month a reality would like to see women’s history studied all year, not just every March. In 1996, the National Women’s History Museum was founded. It’s a non-profit organization devoted to preserving and celebrating the various contributions of women in history. The organization is working with Congress to open a permanent museum site in Washington, D, C.
