dog owner...who? me?

Is anything wrong with me? I'm not really into pets. I only have a puppy before I reached 7 but when it died, my love for dogs vanished. A friend offered to give us one of her puppies but I refused gracefully saying I'm allergic to dog's fur. Am I really allergic? That's what I think so because everytime I'm with one room with dogs, I degenerate into a sneezing fit!


Honestly I despise mid-night potty runs, vomit on the rug and hair coating the couch caused by dogs. I don't have any idea of dog grooming too. It really needs sacrifice to raise a happy and well-adjusted dog.


This week, I read an article that discusses that pet ownership in general can lower cholesterol and increase longevity; however, maximum benefits can be obtained only through dog ownership. This fact really struck me deeply. When I look at it this way , cleaning up the rug and going for mid-night potty breaks don’t seem like as much of a sacrifice anymore. In fact, it seems that we humans get just as much or more from canine companions as they give in the first place.

So, when are we going to get a dog? It depends on my health. I need to know first if I'm really allergic to dogs.

By the way, good news for the racing dog lovers, I found a great site for you at http://www.racingdoglovers.com/. Their articles and tips on training dogs and maintaining dogs health is very informative and essential.

advantages of using ergo baby carriers

I really find it very convenient to have a baby carrier . I could get things done around the house. I could do my rounds on shopping. We could eat in a restaurant without any hassles. I like Hyzyd to be held all the time while I'm at home on weekends and at the same time doing some minimal household chores. I read from the Baby Book of William and Martha Shears that using a baby carrier reduces crying and colic. A 1986 study of 99 mother-infant pairs (reported in Pediatrics) showed that carrying babies at least three hours a day reduces crying and fussing 43% during the day and 51% at night. Babies are happier because they have less need to cry, and parents enjoy their babies more as a result. This simply explains why Hyzyd is a happy baby. I don't have a problem with him. Carrying my baby promotes bonding and enhances my feelings of competence as a parent. A higher frequency of feeding and touching stimulates mothering hormones, and frequent carrying encourages and speeds the

First aid for bump/bruises

Today's topic at Mommy Moments is to share some of our first-aid techniques. Here's the up-to-date guide in aiding bumps/bruises: Before, I think that I need to apply ice on a bruise until it heals. Now, I learned that Ice or a cold compress is useful in the first 24 hours, then switch to warm compresses Why? A bruise is a broken blood vessel under the skin, and applying ice to the area early on will help stop the internal bleeding and inflammation. A day after the injury, put warm compresses or a hot water bottle on the bruise to increase blood flow to the area, which will help break up the blood clot. A heating pad on a low setting will also work -- just be sure to place a cloth or towel between it and your child´s skin. (None of this will produce magical healing, though: You´ll probably see a kaleidoscope of colors for about 10 days.) an entry for:
