For the Love of Puppy

A gorgeous, delectable, cute new puppy given out of sheer love to someone can bring much joy and happiness to child or adult alike. The first five minutes are absolutely wonderful; up to the point when the new puppy fouls the living room carpet.

Firstly, many people in their blissful exuberance fail to realise that to own a puppy, comes with nearly as much responsibility as raising your own child. Secondly, one needs get out of one’s comfort zone to clean up after the puppy messes on the carpet. Thirdly, your new puppy needs the staples of life as would your own baby child.

A puppy cannot survive on love alone. The need to water and feed your new puppy will be one of the first considerations. You need to know how old your puppy is and at what stage of development he/she is, in order to feed your puppy the correct food. You cannot assume as some people do; that your diet is good. Therefore, it is a good diet to feed your puppy.

The right food is vitally important or you could find yourself up all through the night with a very sick and whimpering puppy. In addition the subsequent Veterinary bill can set you back $200.00 or more.

The puppy then needs somewhere to sleep and some sort of bedding. A basket or cardboard box lined with an old blanket works fine. Make sure the area is warm and there are no drafts. Puppies can catch colds, coughs and respiratory ailments just like humans.

You then need to be aware that your puppy needs a special environment in which to live. This living space must address his/her eating, sleeping and toileting needs. A puppy will not foul his/her living space; and this needs to be separate from the toileting area. A litter box placed in the opposite corner away from your puppy’s living and eating area should suffice. Some owners use a crate to keep their puppies in and the rules of toileting still apply.

When you observe your puppy needs to do its toilet; put him/her in their litter box and toileting area. Later you can move the litter box outside and show your puppy the new toileting area.

Like your child; your puppy needs to be bathed regularly. Again do not assume products such as family shampoos, soaps and dishwashing detergents are good for bathing your puppy. A small puppy can have allergic reactions and suffer severe skin irritations caused by strong chemicals and toxins. Suitable products developed especially for your puppy can be found at your local Veterinary Clinic, Pet Store and pet area at your local supermarket.

Above all; you need to be loving, sensitive, caring, and observant to your puppy’s every need. This is a trait central to socialization; to assist your puppy in obedience; learning commands; collar and leash training, as well as early potty training. Yelling at your puppy is not recommended or helpful in training your puppy. A Puppy can wander off and sometimes get into trouble e.g. stuck under the house and caught in a wire fence, or wander on the road into traffic. Your puppy can also swallow small articles whole and can choke.

Be ever vigilante that your puppy is toileting regular stools, if he/she does not it could mean puppy has swallowed a large solid object that has caused a blockage and the puppy cannot pass it normally. The short answer in this case is the Veterinary Clinic and resultant cost. Again I use the analogy as to be responsible and watchful of your own child.

Your puppy will also need regular exercise and play. This interaction teaches your puppy boundaries of both good and unacceptable behavior. Interaction with other dogs is also essential to help your puppy become socialised and friendly.

Be also aware that you need to find out when your puppy will need compulsory shots and vaccinations to prevent canine disease. Without vaccinations disease could prove fatal. You will also need to be aware of common infections such as Parvovirus and how best to recognise this. You can get all the relevant information and essential services from your local Veterinary Clinic.

Education is a lifelong learning experience. Having said that; there are many more things your puppy needs to learn. As like every responsible parent, you must also learn to adapt and teach correctly. Therefore, a good book on puppy training and/or puppy obedience training; is an essential aid to achieve success. This reference material is an excellent guide to revisit at any time and whenever the need arises.

Tips How to Reduce Acne

Eliminating acne can be quite a challenge as the problem of acne varies from one person to the next. Most people start off trying the over the counter medications or creams. These can work well for some people however for many these kinds of acne treatments are not always the best option.

Over the counter cleansers and creams focus on cleaning the skin and keeping it oil and dirt free. For many people these products tend to dry out their skin excessively and this can cause quite a bit of irritation. Acne prescription drugs can come with unwanted side effects so it is best to avoid them if you can and look for an alternative solution.

Diet can play a role in your acne condition so it is important to keep an eye on what you are consuming. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is often a good idea as these kinds of foods tend to have a cleansing effect on your body and are very useful in removing toxins from your system. Reducing the amount of oils and fats you are consuming can have a positive effect also. Many foods like cookies and bagged potato chips and similar ‘junk foods’ contain excessive amounts of vegetable oils. Simply reducing your intake of these kinds of foods can make a positive difference to your acne.

Stress is also believed by many to contribute to acne. There are many ways to reduce stress from your life. One of the best ways is to exercise such as doing aerobics and strength training. Just going for a short jog or walk in a nice natural environment like a park or the beach can do wonders when it comes to relieving stress.

Many people today work from home so it becomes very important for them to get out of the house on a regular basis otherwise stress levels may increase and cause your acne condition to get worse. Many acne treatment systems often recommend solutions that are not practical like going on severe fasting diets and such so you need to find something that is easier to follow and that you will stick with in the long term.

Some people believe that acne is caused by an imbalance of hormones in your body. One of the ways to potentially solve this imbalance is by taking some sort of colloidal silver supplement. Visit your local health food store and ask for a colloidal silver supplement. There is unfortunately no single product that can get rid of acne for all people so keep an open mind and try different approaches.
