I adopted my last dog from the Humane Society and he was a wonderful dog, but they don't always tell you the history of the dog, this is true. I agree with all the advice given here and would like to offer another. Doing trust exercises with your new dog and tons of social activity/attention is very important. Your dog needs to trust you and vice versa. This one worked great for me when I brought home my Siberian pup. You pet the dog starting off simple in common places like the side of the dog and back. Then you slowly work toward rubbing the belly and touching sensitive areas like the legs/paws and ears. When the dog is comfortable with these interactions he is learning to trust you more and more. When the dog trusts you the dog respects you and the dog will trust that your bringing him into the house is safe. Another thought, if the dog is 2. Do you have other pets or small children? If so is the dog used to this type of environment. I have 3 kids and 2 are toddlers. My poor dog took some time to get used to them with their squealing and running around. Maybe something like this is intimidating him......Good luck! ... View related article.
Well guys, I've had problems with my washers and dryers in the past and I've always found it more cost effective to just buy a new one (used if that is more affordable) than to get it repaired. I've picked up perfectly good appliances for free through classified ads but have to be careful with that and make sure you see it work before you bring it home. Anyway, there is a website I love and it is GREAT for help on issues like this www.doityourself.com. Put it in your favourites and I guarantee you'll go back to it again and again. I've gotten help from professionals with household repairs/appliance repairs/automotive....you name it. Good luck! ... View related article.
Antibacterial cream will heal the condition quickly and prevent scarring. You can buy it over the counter at the drugstore. Ask your pharmacist. This works great for me and I've had some pretty interesting skin infections that are so often mistaked for as regular acne/whiteheads. I suggest for anyone who may not be aware of that to read up on skin infections so you can identify the difference if it occurs. ... View related article.
I have a small bathroom with a pedestal sink and a family of 5. I put a "curtain" around the sink and can store under it. Lucky you for having a counter (lol). Anyway, some things I've done for storage: Shower hanger and corner shelves for all those shower things (shampoo, soaps, etc), a "johnny cabinet" above the toilet (shelving unit/cupboard), Baskets, bins and boxes (I like the clear ones too so I can see what's in it at a glance), and you can buy tiered shelves and pullout drawers for under your sink/counter at any store like Wal-Mart, Home Depot... that kind of thing. Good luck. ... View related article.
