Bringing a new pet into the home is like introducing a new member to the family. It is a wonderful, memorable event and if managed correctly will be the start of a long and happy home environment for both you and your puppy. Read on for some useful tips to help you prepare to welcome a puppy into your home.
       1. Firstly you should choose a breed that is suitable to your living situation. For example, a large dog will require a garden and wouldn’t be suitable for apartment living. Think about your lifestyle, the time you have available for a dog and the size of your home and garden. 2. Decide what room the puppy will sleep and eat in. Then make sure the room is secure and warm. 3. Contact the owner or kennel you are getting the puppy from and find out what it is being fed. It is important that the puppy gets the same food when it arrives in its new home. You can gradually change its food at a later date once your puppy has settled in. 4. A good suggestion is to get a small soft toy for your puppy to give to the owner a week or so before the puppy is collected. This way the puppy will have something familiar, in scent and texture, to keep it company. 5.Research your local vet and make an appointment to bring your puppy in for a check up and vaccinations. 6.Arrange your pet insurance. Pet health care can be very expensive, so insurance can help you with any unforeseen costs. For instance, many companies have a selection of pet insurance packages for you to choose from. 7. Put together your new puppy check list and get new items before your puppy arrives. Before you collect your pet, for example, make sure that you have your pet travel case in the car so you can then transport your new pet safely. Also, it is always a good idea to bring some wipers in case your new puppy gets car sick.

  When you’re feeling low, it’s easy to convince yourself to stay there. After all, how can you fall when you’re already on the ground? Nevertheless, your heart wants to heal so give it what it wants. Thus, help yourself get back on your feet with these five self-care tips when you’re feeling broken.
First, step outside for some fresh air. Whether you’re still a student in school or constantly working in front of a computer, it’s easy to feel congested by deadlines, projects and never-ending tasks. Make use of your mornings, lunch breaks and evenings when you’re off the clock to step outside for walks, which will help clear your head and improve your mood. Furthermore, spending time outdoors also helps improve our concentration. Even if you can’t step outside right away, just crack open a window when you can and allow nature to heal you.
Second, take a nap. When we don’t get enough sleep, our moods can take a turn for the worse and spiral down into an endless abyss. If you’re feeling cranky from exhaustion, take some time, even if it’s just half an hour to curl up on the couch and close your eyes. Once you wake up, you’ll feel better rested and you’ll make up for lost time by carrying out
your daily tasks with a fresh and sharp mind.
Third, allow yourself to be ordinary. We are all perfectly imperfect. Take a break from using Instagram filters and Facebook posts that show your life only at its best. Social media is a place where we can share our favorite moments
with others but it has also become a platform where people feel pressured to compete with others. Sometimes, it feels more like a beauty pageant instead of a second home. Your sense of self is worth more than a digitalized reputation, embrace your flaws and allow yourself to be average, simple and sincere is always better.
Fourth, clean and give your space a makeover. Cleaning doesn’t have to be overly excessive to make a difference.Whether it means organizing your bookshelf or clipping your favorite photos onto the wall, changes, big or small can enhance the atmosphere. After all, you spend a lot of time in your space. Giving it some love and attention can go a long way.
Fifth, reach out and tell someone about what you’ve been going through. Feeling down often leads to shutting down. We fear burdening others and as this develops into a habit, we suffer silently making it harder to heal. Don’t feel ashamed about your struggles, sometimes you just need someone to hear your story, and you’d be surprised with how much people understand you.
