How to Take Care of Your New Adopted Dog by gpoint

Whether you and your new dog have come together as a result of a dog adoption, dog rescue or other means, one thing is certain…you must take the best care possible of your dog to assure the dog’s health and a long and rewarding life together.

Your new dog will need time to adjust to his new home and family. He just left a kennel or shelter where there were strange sounds and people.. Now he is in a new place with another set of new people and an environment that he needs to get comfortable in. He’ll want to explore. He’ll want to get to know his new home..

He’ll probably have some accidents as he gets to know his surroundings and will chew a few things. Keep on eye on him but expect this to happen. It’s all common during the adjustment period.

Here’s a few tips on dog care to get you started:
• Make sure your dog has been micro-chipped . This is a simple little device injected under the skin and will help identify your new adopted dog in case the dog ever gets lost and is brought to a dog shelter or dog rescue.
1. Another important accessory is a soft dog collar with an id tag attached. The id tag should have your name and a current phone number that you can be reached at in the event someone finds your newly adopted dog after a doggy adventure. Many careful dog guardians have discovered that their pal has slipped out a door, through a fence or run out to play only to get lost. Proper identification will enhance the probability of a quick and safe return home.

• Make sure you keep your dog on a leash at all times when you go for a walk . This will protect your dog from potential dangers such as cars and other dogs. It also will help you control your dog and protect her in the event the dog becomes excited at the site of other dogs or people.


• Spay or Neuter your Dog- Spaying and neutering is a very basic procedure that will help your dog live a longer and healthier life. Spayed or neutered fogs have fewer behavioral issues such as aggression . And finally, spaying and neutering helps control the exploding dog population. This will reduce the stress on overpopulated dog shelters and help reduce the number of unwanted dogs that are euthanized annually.

• Choose the Perfect Veterinarian- Your adopted dog should receive regular vet checkups as a preventative medicine function and to treat any problems that may arise. Certain vaccinations are required by law such as one for rabies. When you choose a vet, ask the doctor what his/her philosophy is as to vaccinations, nutrition and general treatment protocols. One you select the vet that you feel is best for your dog, you will be started on a lifelong relationship for good canine health.

• Feed a high quality dog food.-There are a number of different philosophies on the best type of food to feed your adopted dog. Some believe that dogs should eat RAW food as they would in the wild. Others believe that kibble is the best way to go. Yet others decide to cook meats, veggies and rice as a diet. Talk with your vet as to what is best for your dog nutritionally and as to quantity and frequency of feedings. If you choose a commercial dog food make sure that it is not mostly filler. You can determine this by looking at the first agreements on the package. When you see grains and by products mentioned and the price is a bargain…leave it behind. Your adopted dog needs a nutritionally based diet that will help keep him healthy, not junk food. When in doubt, ask your vet.

• Make sure your adopted dog is licensed. You will need to province proof of vaccinations and should get an id tag. Your vet, the local dog shelter or dog rescue can provide you with information.

• Make sure your adopted dog has a warm place to live in the winter and cool place in the summer. Your dog should always have access to fresh water. I don’t support the idea of “outdoor” dogs. Dogs enjoy playing in the yard but should have a safe and comfortable place to rest . And never under any circumstance chain your dog and leave her unattended. Your dog wants to be with you and share your time and space. Having a companion is why you brought your dog home in the first place, isn’t it?

• Exercise your dog with frequent walks and play. Both you and your dog will benefit from the exercise, making your relationship stronger . Walk your dog at least 2 times a day. Exercise and meeting other folks along the way with friendly dogs will also help you to socialize your dog. Ask your vet how much exercise your dog should receive.

• Join a dog training class. Many places offer group lessons on basic behavior and socialization. This is a wonderful and inexpensive opportunity for you and your new adopted dog to develop a solid foundation.

• Be a Pal to Your Dog- Dog behavior and care can at times be frustrating. But almost any situation can be resolved with a little information and help.

Don’t approach your new adopted dog with rapid hand movements at his face. He will be scared and his reaction may be unexpected including fear or aggressive behavior as a defense mechanism.

When you have a question or don’t know what to do next, consult with your veterinarian, dog trainers and dog rescue folks who have probably seen the exact same situation countless times. Your adopted dog is now a member of your family and is counting on you to be a guardian and a pal.

Access the Rest of Yourself by Evelyn Cole

Copyright 2006 Cole's Poetic License

Because I have used audio discs for self-hypnosis, I have successfully upgraded the programming in my subconscious mind in several areas. I want to spread the word.

Brian Walsh, author of 'Unleash your Brilliance' writes, 'Some of us spend money and time on maintaining, or even upgrading, our external appearances. Some of us spend money and time on altering our internal attributes. Both are important, aren't they?

'There is this story about a man walking down a street. He was approached by a panhandler. 'Any spare change sir?' - The man replied, 'Change comes from within.' Yes, change does come from within. It begins by fine-tuning the core beliefs. To use a computer analogy, it is a disk clean, then a defrag.

'In my book, I devote a whole chapter to hypnosis. In this article, I'd like to discuss self-hypnosis. Of all the workshops that I conduct, training people how to do self-hypnosis has got to be my favorite. I love to empower folks to set a goal, and then take that goal into their trance. The feedback I receive is very satisfying.

'I want to share some of the points that we cover in this workshop. I want to convince you that you have the power within. Change is simply bringing back your true essence by stripping away the baggage that has been attached through negative imprinting, and reinforced by subsequent limited thinking.

'Our core beliefs are not all conscious. Day in and day out, we make decisions based, not only on facts, but on our perceptions and biases. Most of these subconscious filters were set before we were seven years old. Why would they still be there? Probably because the subconscious has never been given alternative instructions. That's where hypnosis comes in. Hypnosis is simply the technique to bypass the critical faculty that blocks access to the subconscious mind.

'When I first began to practice hypnotherapy, I realized that, aside from smoking and weight challenges, most people came to me for stress, career, relationship, and sleep difficulties. In order to help people beyond my local practice, I produced four self-hypnosis audio CDs.

'If you would like to experience a complimentary sample, and if you use MS-Internet Explorer, then grab your headphones. http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?D1zt0q2FB0iFZIh7YHs_BQ'

~~~

Because I have read his book and knew how powerful it is, I clicked on that link and listened. Do it. It's wonderful. I'm buying his tapes for Christmas and birthday presents for my friends and family.

Before I heard Brian's tape I had been 'going to Alpha level' every day with the Silva Ultramind ESP System from Learning Strategies.com. Now, I'm a level headed Yankee from Boston who never even heard of ESP. I'm not looking for that. But relaxing to the point where my brain functions on alpha waves is very healthy. You can do that with any kind of self-hypnosis.

Our conscious brains operate mainly on Beta waves when we are awake. Dr. Robert Anthony writes, 'To look at a situation and evaluate the information based on the conscious mind alone is to look at the effect instead of the cause. This makes us value judge both ourselves and others. And evaluate what we see, hear and feel as if it were, indeed, he truth.'

Read that again. Do you understand it? I sure struggled with it in Beta mind. From Alpha I believe he means that the laws of physics are the cause, such as the law of gravity and the law of attraction. We cannot see, hear or feel these laws.

Here's a poem that came out of all this alpha-izing:

Brain Waves by Evelyn Cole

Open the book of Alpha where your mind breathes through the pages at the speed of light

that feels slower than the pace of wait.

Go where your feet float and your cells dance to an old song from your DNA, one you barely remember.

Then, when you return to Beta, everything seems so easy.

Audio discs make self-hypnosis easy. I have used Centerpointe's to great advantage. Like Brian's, two voices come at you, one in each ear at different frequencies. Silva's discs have a marvelous tapping sound.

When you combine writing to discover your subconscious mind, as in Brainsweep, with hypnotic suggestion to reprogram it, there's nothing in this world you can't change if you want to.

© Evelyn Cole, MA, MFA, The Whole-mind Writer, http://www.write-for-wealth.com evycole@hughes.net Cole’s chief aim in life is to convince everyone to understand the power of the subconscious mind and synchronize it with goals of the conscious mind.

Getting The Look - Garters 101 by

One of the reasons dancing has captivated an audience for years is the costuming. Whether it was in ancient Roman courts with long scarves trailing behind seductive beauties or in modern clubs where scantily clad performers keep patrons riveted to their barstools, the costumes worn play an intrical part in getting the dancers' message across.

Lingerie prevails as the clothing of choice for most exotic dancers and nothing seems to grab a man's attention like garters and hose. There is nothing sexy about pantyhose when held up next to a pair of black stockings suspended on the legs by short pieces of lace. The garment harkens back to early European days and was always the tantalizing piece of seduction needed to send a customer reeling.

Unfortunately, even for the modern-day girl, wearing a garter belt and hose properly is a daunting task. Unless you have a pair of extra hands available, putting them on for the first time can be a bit tricky. Once mastered, it is an invaluable piece of clothing, especially for dancers. First of all, invest in a good piece of lingerie. You don't want to be in the middle of a pole dance and pop a suspender. Victoria's Secret makes very durable items and they are beautiful. Pricey, yes, but if you are going to wear them night after night, they are worth the investment. The garter belt itself should fit snugly around your waist when snapped in place, but not so tight you can't breath. It should rest just on your hipbones with the lace panel in front covering your abdomen.

There are four suspenders, two in front and two in the back. Gather one stocking in your hand, roll it down to the toe and slip your foot in, sliding the hose up your leg until it comes to rest on your thigh. The back suspender should be hooked into place first by sliding the hose material between the metal eye of the hook and the rubber gripper. Push the gripper and hose material into the eye and then slide up, capturing the fabric in a hold between the two hook pieces. Repeat with the front suspender. This does take some practice so until you are comfortable with them, avoid trying to wear the hose with a back seam. It will be crooked and look unattractive; try these once you are masterful at wearing garters.

Stockings and belts add an extra bit of sex appeal to your costume. Always remember to put your panties on last over the belt; otherwise, you will be unhooking the whole garment each time you need to use the restroom. The hooks will come undone and it can be disastrous.

Shopping for intimate apparel for your lady should be a trauma-free, if not actually enjoyable, experience, so go on and give it a shot. You’ve got nothing to lose but your inhibitions, and your lady will love you for it!
The most important thing to remember is to have fun and take good care of your investment!

Haylea Smith writes for Lingerie Express which carries a vast selection of Garters Hosiery for all types of sensuous woman.
