We only visit the gym three times a week and every second and fourth day of the week we are walking around the town. It became our habit before our vacation in the Philippines.  Below is the photo I have taken the other day while we are doing our routine in the late afternoon, the trees are all in yellow colors.

The weather is already cold as expected so I am already wearing my winter jacket when we are walking, and of course I am not going to forgot to bring my camera.

Kids would always be cute and they could be cuter if their parents got some basic skills on how to dress them up accordingly. In most cases, moms are in charge when it comes to this quest and their fashion sense can be reflected to their kids’ get up.

Lucky are those kids who have fashion sensitive moms and know some basic skills in color blocking as well as in matching because at a young age they could already look good. Most moms would choose quality with style like IKKS childrens clothing online rather than having numerous clothes at a lower price.

Just like spending a lot of time dressing up according to the place or event, these kids who clearly do not know how to look good yet, their parents should take time in choosing the appropriate outfit. There are moms who really pay for having a miniature version of whatever they have inside their closet so that it would be easy for them to dress their children up most especially during occasions like costume parties and similar events.

Usually these kids won’t mind what they look like so as don’t care on what their playmates is wearing. The real pressure is on the critic that their parents are getting from the eyes of other parents. Although they can’t please everyone but there is that certain ego that they won’t let their kids to look awful in front of other people because somehow it would reflect on themselves as well.

Imagine this: sparkling red carpet premiere of a promising family movie starring everyone’s favourite actors of the present. A well-groomed, shiny coated canine who is the real star of the movie, such as the golden lab who played Marley in ‘Marley and Me’, or Richard Gere’s co-star in ‘Hachiko: A Dog’s Story’. Now, imagine if they had a little ‘accident’. Imagine if they weren’t in the best of health…

If you have ever slipped – yes, slipped – in dog poo, you will know that it certainly is not pleasant and you feel like hunting down the dog owner and banning them from your local area until their dog’s bowel movements are back to normal and their ‘business’ can be scooped and bagged as normal. I know if my pug ever got diarrhoea again, I would ask some unsuspecting friend to take little Mathilde on a walk to save myself the embarrassment whilst I rush to the vets to book an appointment. Last time, it was the result of too many treats surreptitiously given to her under the table by my friends at Christmas (it’s not just humans that get fat in the winter season). Ultimately, neither Mathilde nor I were very happy.

Of course, it isn’t the end of the world. Canikur tablets are very effective as an anti-diarrhoea treatment, which are palatable and chewable. Containing probiotics, prebiotics and a special binding agent, they work together to support intestinal function ensuring your dog’s body fluid balance is normalised. In the case of an emergency, however, Pro-Kolin+ may be a better choice as it is designed to settle diarrhoea quickly and safely. Plus, it is beef flavoured so my pug, like many other pooches I’m sure, would easily eat it.

For a long term aid, Hill’s Prescription Diet I/D is for dogs suffering with gastrointestinal disorders that can be painful and prolonged if left unattended. Dog lovers want the best for their canine companions so address the ugly stuff is just as important as cuddling. I/D encourages symptom reduction of vomiting, flatulence, constipation and diarrhoea, all of which would be the biggest embarrassment on that spotless red carpet…
