I can't believe its been a week already ❤ Its been exhausting but so worth it. I may be biassed but I think that he is the cutest Black Labrador Puppy equal only to Alfie 🫶 I read and watched so many RU-vid Videos about introducing an older Dog to a puppy and so far I have learnt that you have to take it at the slowest pace possible, watch every movement both dogs make at all times as their body language will tell you what they are feeling. One of the most Important tips I can give you is to offer your older dog as much space as they need, let them go off into another room and be on their own if that is what they want. Keep any worry or anxiety away from your dogs as they are able to sense what you are feeling so if you worry or feel anxiety they will worry or feel anxiety too, not what you want! Enjoy every minute of it, take loads of photos and videos as puppy time flies by 😭 What would your top tips be for other new dog owners or dog owners introducing their existing dog with a new puppy?
Having a new puppy in the house isn’t easy for someone with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis I’m exhausted my pain levels are high but that little face with the biggest personality is bringing so much happiness to our home. I live everyday of my life in extreme pain and exhaustion yet now I’m laughing, I have the biggest smile, and my heart is full 🫶 Do you have a pet and a chronic illness or disability? What are your top tips ?
No offence but I find getting a puppy as someone who’s also disabled with CFS/ME and so much more to be super irresponsible and unfair to that dog knowing you can’t give it the life it needs and deserves. Unless you have fully abled body partner or carer to take that dog out and give enough exercise and socialisation you got the dog for pure selfish reasons of just owning one. I can barely look after myself, feed, cloth, wash my own body, get out of the house for other reasons than hospital visits and I can’t even fathom getting a hyper and needy puppy. You could have gotten an older/mellow dogs from shelters that could be a perfect fit for you… or even an adult cat that could also bring you happiness and laughs and would be much more reasonable to look after than a literal PUPPY. You can’t rely on the pee pads forever.
@pocaluneksmierci Thankyou for your comments and for many cases I agree with you. I did a huge amount of research when we got our first dog Alfie and I don't know what I would have done without him, I truly believe that he is a gift from God. ME has taken too much of my life already. ME has taken too much of my families life already. I am going to be severely ill with ME if I have a dog or not and filling my home with my beautiful boys gives me the biggest laughs, not just for me but for my family too. I promise you that my boys will never miss out on anything, I will give them the most love a dog could ever wish for and the absolute best of everything.

I would like to ask, has anyone's Doctor, Physician or Specialist done an Arterial Blood Gas TesT to measure the... "An arterial blood gases (ABG) test measures the acidity [Lactic acid] (pH) and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood from an artery.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Ear Seeds, Dragons Den & Why we can't let this happen again! Today, I talk about something that's deeply personal to me and affects millions of people worldwide - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or ME. Click here to watch the video in full Severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis | My thoughts on Dragons Den cure for an illness with no cure! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iPPb6uk-PJ4.html Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a chronic illness that I have been living with since 2012. It's a condition that can affect almost every aspect of your life. Extreme fatigue, pain, and cognitive issues are just some of the daily challenges that people with ME face. Recently, you might have heard about a controversial moment on an episode of Dragons' Den, a product was pitched as a cure for ME, a condition for which there is no cure. This has raised many questions and concerns within the ME community. As we grapple with the fallout from the Dragons' Den controversy, it's imperative that we move beyond mere outrage and towards tangible action. This includes advocating for increased research funding for ME, reforming medical curricula to include comprehensive education on ME, and holding media outlets accountable for the dissemination of accurate and responsible health information. Join me on this journey, and let's raise awareness together.
