WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AS A NEW PUPPY MUMMY

Posted on October 24, 2018February 26, 2024 by rosie

Dogs are like children!

When you get a pet, your life changes. It’s kind of like having a baby but instead you are a new puppy Mummy. Sure, you aren’t awake all through the night, and you don’t have to take this little one everywhere with you, but when you have a puppy, there is some work involved. And it’s handy to know both what you should expect and what you can do to make things easier on yourself. Taking care of a dog is a lot of work. But it’s also a lot of fun too. As long as you know what you do and you’re focusing on what keeping your puppy happy, you’re on track. So, to help you with that, let’s take a look at five things you need to know when you become a new puppy Mummy!

Training

First of all, there’s training. And you will want to start this right away. Because not only do you have toilet training to do, but there’s also the idea of working on training their behavior too. Now, with toilet training, they will get there. Yes, there will be accidents, but you need to let things go and just persist. But, when it comes to behaviour training, you may want to take them to classes for this if you’re not too sure what you should do.

Products

Now, when it comes to the products you need, you need to make sure that they will be happy and comfortable in your home. Whether you want to go for luxury pet products or something budget, it doesn’t matter. Whatever suits you best is fine. But you will need a bed for them, bowls for food and water, grooming products, toys, and a lead too. These are the basics, but you could also look to get treats or other fun extras for them too.

Care

From here, you will then want to make sure that they are cared for and that their health is perfect. You will need to find a vet, like www.easipetcare.com, near to you that you like and trust. Make sure that they get their initial checkups and that they have yearly check-ups from then on in, just to keep them healthy.

Food

Your sweet little pup deserves nothing but the best, and the same can be said with the food you give them! It’s so important to extensively look into what’s best for them (and not just buy the first thing you see at the grocery store). Instead, you’ll want to do some research, look into Freshet reviews, and just do a deep dive into what’s going to be the most nutritious for your growing dog!

You should also try to get the balance right between feeding your pup enough and not over feeding them too. This is where your vet can help, as they can make sure that they are always in a healthy weight range.

Exercise

But then also, it’s really important for you to be thinking about what kind of exercise your dog needs. Because they all need to be walked, yet some breeds will need more and others will need less. You can do a ton of research of this online, using sites like www.rover.com, to find out what will work best. But you can also speak to your vet and get their personal recommendations too. And then, you should start to get a sense of the kind of exercise that they need personally too.

WHY YOU SHOULD SAY NO TO THE FLU VACCINE

Posted on October 16, 2018 by rosie

I’ve never had a flu jab in my life, and I never will. But does my decision make me a potential burden to the NHS, if I succumb to the flu through my own negligence, and consequently need to see a Doctor, or even worse, be hospitalised. Frankly, I’ll take my chances on that one, but here are just a few reasons why you should say no to the flu vaccine.

Here are the scenes at my local surgery at around 11.00 am last Sunday, where people were queuing to have an injection to prevent something that will probably not happen.

There they stood confirming their support to the NHS, and on exiting, almost courageously fist pumping their bravery, albeit with a slightly sore arm.

The Flu Jab rush.

By the law of averages, I’d hazard a guess that within the queue, there may have been more than one person who might describe themselves as allergic to pollen as it gives them a runny nose, perhaps one or two who couldn’t eat dairy as it upsets their stomach, some who wouldn’t touch shellfish as just looking at a prawn makes them feel sick. Yet, whilst all of these people won’t go near these perfectly natural things, they were still happy to offer their body up to be injected with some of the following chemicals.

Formaldehyde
Aluminium
Aborted Fetal DNA
Fetal Bovine DNA

I think you’ll agree it’s a heady mix, and the above is only the tip of the iceberg. However every year when the banner goes up outside the local surgery, offering free flu jabs, people put blind faith in what they are told and can’t wait to be first in the queue.

Doctors recommend that people get flu jabs to boost their immune system and prevent getting them flu. However, flu vaccines have been shown to be highly ineffective and toxic for humans.

Such reassuring ingredients

AND WHAT ABOUT SHEDDING?

Viral shedding means that those who are vaccinated breathe out more influenza virus and spread it more than the unvaccinated. So when your surgery offers the vaccine by telling you “the vaccine protects you and those around you,” it is simply not true.

What they are actually doing is ‘selling’ the vaccine to you, which generates vast income for the giant pharmaceutical companies.

Viral shedding also means that those who are vaccinated are spreading more virus into the air around them just by breathing compared to those who have not had the vaccine that same year and/or the flu vaccine from the previous year.

The implication is that those who are vaccinated are a greater risk to the vulnerable, such as cancer patients, the elderly and the very young, AND that the unvaccinated spread the disease LESS and protect others better!

I know which side I’d rather be on!

DESIGNING A BEDROOM FOR YOUR GRANDCHILDREN

Posted on October 4, 2018October 4, 2018 by rosie

Create a special bedroom for your Grandchildren

If your grandchildren frequently stay with you at your home, then designing a bedroom to meet their specific needs is a good choice. Your grandkids will be able to enjoy a home-from-home experience and a space that feels like it’s ‘theirs,’ and you’re provided with the perfect opportunity to indulge a love of interior design as you seek to create a wonderful space.

You will soon discover that designing a bedroom for your grandchildren is very different from creating a bedroom for your children. As a grandparent, you don’t need to worry too much about educational elements, or hunt down boring storage ottomans to hold their entire toy collection: you can create a room that is functional, yes, but also beautiful and fun. To aid you in this quest, below, I’ve gathered together a few ideas that you might want to try.

#1 – Go all-in on a theme

If a child is going to be sleeping in a room every night, themes can be rather limiting and can begin to get old relatively quickly. However, if your grandkids only stay over occasionally, themes retain their charm for far longer and can look absolutely spectacular for as long as they are in place.

If you’re going to go for a theme, commit to it wholeheartedly, and put it first and foremost when you consider anything about the room. This includes obvious elements such as artwork and decor, but also essential furniture options; you should be able to browse a kids wardrobe collection or find storage furniture options that perfectly align with your intended theme.

#2 – A DIY mural

Murals are a great choice for a child’s bedroom, but can be made all the more personal if you let your grandkids get involved in actually creating the finished art themselves. Sure, it might not have the most professional finish in the world, but that’s part of the charm.

In addition to the above, one of the great benefits of creating a DIY mural is that you can choose to do anything. This is particularly useful if you’re working to a theme, as you won’t be restricted by the choices available in store. There’s plenty of inspirational ideas available for DIY murals online, or you could take a more freestyle approach if you’re feeling adventurous.

#3 – Fun novelty lighting

The modern world is full of novelty lighting, so you should have no shortage of options to choose from. Lighting can bring a room to life, and can help to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere that your grandkids will love.

In terms of what novelty lighting you should choose, the only limit is your imagination. If you’d like to achieve an educational element, you could opt for lighting that produces a replica of the night sky. Alternatively, keep things light and go for the standard fairy lights – they’re a classic for a reason.

In conclusion

Designing a bedroom for your grandchildren is a great choice if you’re a fan of interior design, as it gives you the ability to indulge and put fun and style at the forefront of your thoughts.

Posted on October 4, 2018November 10, 2022 by rosie

International medical insurance plans are growing in popularity, as more and more people are realising the benefits associated with these policies. Nonetheless, there are so many different options to choose from when it comes to buying the right health insurance policy for you. Keeping that in mind, read on to discover how to select the right plan…

Protect Your Family.

The first thing you need to do is identify what you actually want from your health insurance plan. There are various questions you need to ask yourself in order to determine this, such as…

What are your plans for the future? What countries do you intend on visiting or moving to?
What policy features do you consider to be essentials?
Do you have any pre-existing conditions or is there a history of a certain illness in your family?
What is your budget?
How often do you think you will need treatment? Are you fit and healthy?
Do you have any other type of insurance policies?

By asking yourself these questions you will give yourself a good basis for determining what you actually need from your international health insurance policy.

Once you have done this you then need to determine what level of cover you require. You will find that most insurance providers have several different levels for you to choose from. These range from basic coverage to comprehensive cover levels. The latter will cover everything from optical cover, to dental care, to maternity cover. Nonetheless, they will also be more expensive and so it is all about getting the balance right.

Another thing to consider is the personal accident insurance policy. It is a category under the broader health insurance topic. The thing is, the risk of a vehicular accident is high no matter how old you are. Therefore, finding the right policy that provides coverage must be considered a priority. Unfortunately, most insurance companies pay less than victims need. This is why you will find the services of a car accident lawyer crucial in situations like that.

Aside from this, you may have access to extra modules and various different policy options. Perhaps you only want a standard level of cover yet you would like to tailor your plan slightly. In some instances, you may be able to do this. In addition to this, you will have to think about the network of hospitals the plan is going to give you access to, as well as how much deductible you want to pay. In terms of the network of hospitals and healthcare practices, you may already have certain places in mind. For example, let’s say you are a patient at Bhandal Dental Practice, why would you want to go anywhere else? Make sure your chosen places are included, and if not, ask if they can be added on.

Last but not least, the only thing left to do is find the right health global medical insurance plan for you. Take a look on the Internet and assess your options carefully. Compare quotes but never simply go for the cheapest. Make sure the insurance provider is reputable and has good feedback in the industry. They should also provide extensive information and communication should be easy and effective.

Hopefully, you now feel more prepared to find the perfect insurance plan for you. Follow the advice that has been provided above and you can’t go wrong!

NIFTY WAYS TO BE THRIFTY AND PROFITABLE AT SIXTY

Posted on October 1, 2018 by rosie

I know that it’s hard to manage your money. Believe me. And it doesn’t necessarily get easier as the years go by. But you can ensure that you have a happier future if you do more to protect your finances in the present day.

Think about your retirement and even university tuition for your children. Both of those things cost money, unfortunately. But before you start living an excessively frugal life just to restrict your spending, you might want to think about ways in which you could make smarter financial decisions. These are some nifty ways to be thrifty and profitable at sixty.

Finding ways to be thrifty – selling the books you’ve read.

Sell some of your belongings.

The first way to improve your personal finances is to start selling things of value that you no longer want or need. Most people have valuable things sitting around in their home that have been long forgotten. I know mine does. Your house is probably no different. You should get involved with a local car boot sale or perhaps even put together your own.

Other people might see great value in things that you no longer need. You could make a lot of money from your old belongings, and you’ll be decluttering your house at the same time. It’s a win-win situation.

Learn how to invest your money.

Ever made any investments? Well, you should. I know it sounds like a risk on the surface, but it’s smarter to increase your wealth than to leave it sitting in your bank account. If you invest your money well then you could open up new streams of income on top of your existing monthly wage. For instance, buying and leasing properties is a good way to bring in a regular source of income. You might also want to consider learning about CFDs (a contract for difference) to make smarter trading decisions. With the right tools, you can keep track of price fluctuations in global markets. It’s important to do your research and use all the resources at your disposal if you want to make intelligent investment moves.

There are many to make extra money via your computer.

Tidy up your monthly expenditures.

One of the smartest ways to be thrifty is to simply tidy up your monthly expenditures. You might waste more money on basic expenses than you realise. Start off by making a budget. You should check this budget regularly to keep tracking of your income and outgoings. But the point is that you need to keep an eye on the amount of money you set aside for essentials. Take a look at possible areas of your life in which you could save money.

For instance, you might be able to save money on energy by getting thicker glazing for your windows or insulating the roof in your attic. If you can trap heat in your house then you won’t need to use so much energy to keep it warm. You could also save money on your phone bills or car insurance by looking for cheaper quotes on comparison websites. If you find a better deal with another provider then you’ve got an opportunity to haggle with your existing provider for an even cheaper price. Once you start cutting down your monthly expenditures, you’ll have more money to set aside for your savings.
