Caring For Your Pregnant Dog Whether it’s a planned pregnancy for your dog or not, it is important that pregnant dogs are given extra care to ensure they give birth safely to healthy puppies. First thing’s first: if you have a female dog, ensure they don’t get pregnant until they are at least 1 year old. This ensures they are old enough to give a successful birth and still not puppies themselves. If you’re going for a planned pregnancy, first take your dog to a veterinarian to ensure they are ready and receive proper examination. A pregnant dog requires extra nutrition, especially ones that undergo late pregnancy. Nursing dogs further (More)
If you’re just starting with orchids, try a phalaenopsis.

Sudoku The New Addiction! Just in case you've never played before. The object of the game is to fit the numbers 1-9 in the correct orders. You need to fill a number from 1 to 9 in every blank cell. A number must appear only once in each row, column and 3x3 block. Sounds easy enough. Don't give up. Once you get the hang of it, its very fun and challenges your brain. (If you don't see the game on the left please try refreshing your screen. You can use F5 or your refresh button.) |
