I can certainly attest to this I have two lovely fur babies – Bichon Frise puppies both females, a mother and daughter. Bella (left) the mother had 6 puppies and Cindy (Right) was the pick of the litter …. the one with the most spunk who jumped out of the pen first! Who could resist these two beautiful puppies, so gentle in nature, well trained and do not bark unless you knock hard on the front door! Use the bell and there is no problem. Do not shed fur, they have wool, not fur. They make you go for regular walks, love unconditionally and require lots of cuddles… which is extremely calming to you. By the way, I strongly recommend you have two pets they are great company for each other – our two are always cuddled up together – check out below for more added benefits. 12 Ways Your Pet Can Improve Your Mental Health If you are feeling down and weary, and can barely lift yourself off the couch, your dog will always come to your rescue. They will cuddle with you, then motivate you to get up, dressed, and out the door for a walk or some play time. It turns out that all pets, not just therapy pets, can help your mind, body, and spirit. Here are a dozen reasons why: 1. They get you outside: Sun and fresh air elevate your mood and the sun gives you an extra dose of vitamin D. Vitamin D exposure helps fight physical and mental conditions, including depression, cancer, obesity, and heart attacks. Also, when you go outside with your pet, you are engaging with nature. Try taking a moment to listen to the trees rustling, feel the wind rushing past, and the sun upon your face. The sounds and feeling of nature can be incredibly calming. 2. They get you moving: Walking your dog and engaging in outdoors activities like tossing a Frisbee gives you a natural energy boost, and allows you to let off steam. It also makes you more physically fit, strengthening your muscles and bones, which helps not only your body, but also your self-esteem....

We all know it is important to drink water – and the increase of people walking round with water bottles is a sure indication that the message is getting through – but how much is enough? We have 14 signs for you to check out and see how you are ranking. Also on the subject of water – do look after your health by getting a good quality stainless steel or metal water bottle – and don’t stick with the plastic bottles – two reasons… they are a massive pollutant and second most water bottles contain Bisphenol A (BPA) which can be a concern for some bottles made of polycarbonate (which shares resin identification code 7 with other plastics). High temperatures and bleaching are believed to increase leaching of BPA] Several countries have banned the use of plastics containing BPA used for water and other food items. Also PLEASE DO NOT HEAT PLASTIC BABY BOTTLES IN THE MIRCROWAVE this can also cause leaching – please, always check the makeup of your bottles. P.S. Use a nice glass that helps to enjoy the experience! 14 Signs You’re Not Drinking Enough Water There’s not much in this world more refreshing than a tall, ice-cold glass of water. I don’t think there’s anyone alive that can deny that sometimes, a simple glass of water can be more satisfying than a cup of coffee or a can of soda. Despite this, too many of us don’t drink enough water on a daily basis. By depriving ourselves of the world’s most natural resource, we are continuously damaging our bodies. If you experience any of the following, you can improve your situation by starting with a glass of H2O. 1. Your Mouth is Dry This seems pretty obvious, but the ramifications might not be so. Of course, any time you feel that sticky, nasty feeling in your mouth, you’d obviously reach for some sort of liquid. But sugary drinks are only a temporary solution to a larger problem. Drinking water lubricates the mucus membranes in your mouth and throat, which will continue to keep your mouth moist with saliva long after that first sip. 2. Your Skin is Dry Your skin is your body’s...
