I remember driving to work on March 12th, 2020, the day a public health emergency was declared in my city. I walked into an eerily quiet clinic and gathered with my coworkers, waiting to discuss how we were going to proceed. For the next year and beyond, work and life took on a bizarre, unfamiliar shape. I fortunately came through without suffering any major personal tragedies, and slowly pieces of pandemic life fell away. On May 11th, 2023, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officially ended the Covid-19 public health emergency.

There’s nothing worse than being jolted out of a deep sleep by the intrusive sound of a classic alarm. If you prefer to wake up peacefully, the SmartSleep Wakeup Light by Philips does the trick. It lights up slowly, simulating sunrise and stimulating the body to wake naturally without noise. It is especially helpful during the time of year when natural daylight hours are short and the desire to hibernate under the covers is high. Afraid that light alone won’t wake you up? Rest assured; it also has built-in audible alarms that you can set simultaneously for backup.

With the busy life of a veterinary professional, any help we can get to streamline tasks or make them more enjoyable in our daily lives—personal or professional—is always a plus.

“Above-Down, Inside-Out” is a statement of chiropractic philosophy. It means that the brain is the control center of the body; the “Above.” The control of the body then travels “Down” the entire body on the “Inside” and finally flows “Out.” It is a very simple phrase born at the turn of the 20th century to express a very complex process.

“I find that too many people think ‘my dog is just getting older’ or ‘my dog is more tired the older it gets’ and do not realize their pet is in pain. Older dogs should still remain active and not have a considerable ‘slow down,’” shares Douglas Stramel, DVM.
