Real life living with a puppy

11/26/2019

1 Comment

 
So if you follow me regularly you will know that we recently got a cockapoo puppy.....we have had him 3 months now and it has been wonderful but challenging!
 
I have spoken about this on my social media A LOT...it was really tough...
 
I have never had a dog...any pet for that matter and so it was a really big shock...many times during those first few weeks I questioned whether I had done the right thing.....it was as hard as having a baby!
 
But with perseverance.......patience and lots of time we have got a lovely little doggy now.....he is toilet trained and is really getting a character and has certainly become part of the family..it was the sleeping that was the hardest...we had him downstairs in our kitchen and he just really wasn't getting on with it....waking at 4am every day if not more than that during the night and we just couldn't take it anymore.....
 
But I had always said I didn't want him upstairs...
 
Eventually we caved and he now sleeps in with my daughter and we have never had a disturbed night since...it seems he was lonely...
 
So to anyone reading this thinking about getting a puppy, my message would be it is super hard and you need to be prepared for that........it changes your life and you always have to think about the dog going forwards....getting back for him...not leaving him too long..daily walks.....toilet training is tough...you will say he is isn't going in this room or that but they probably will........
 
BUT
 
We wouldn't be without him now and I am pleased we got him.....here is Alfie who will be 6 months next week

Are you stressed?

11/11/2019

Today is National Stress Awareness Day..this is something that the charity MIND arranges each year on the first Wednesday in November and it is just to get us talking about stress and what we can do to reduce it..
 
I did a poll on my Instagram story yesterday and simply asked the question Are you Stressed?
 
It was a pretty much 50/50 split on answers so that is half of us that are stressed currently.....
 
I had a great guest on my radio show yesterday to talk about this...Faye is a hypnotherapist and also is an expert in reflexology and massage and she shared her top tips...you can listen back HERE
 
She advised speaking with your GP as a first point of call but then these pointers may help as well....
 
1. Get some exercise.......staying active whilst it won't get rid of stress in our life will help us handle it better
 
2. Spend time with family and friends and talk to them about how you are feeling and don't bottle things up
 
3. Me time...making time to just do something for you...be that a bath, getting your nails done, meeting a friend for coffee...I chipped in that having a cuppa and watching Loose Women helps me!
 
4. Challenge yourself...trying a new hobby, doing something new
 
5, Reducing unhealthy habits, so watching your caffeine and alcohol intake
 
6. Volunteering apparently is a stress reliever as we are doing things for others
 
7. Be positive...every day look for the 3 things that have happened that day that have gone well......always look for the positives
 
I hope that has helped if you are stressed at all.......get in touch and let me know
