This is something everyone should see. This xray is of a 2 week old puppy.

When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown - around 12-18 months depending on their breed, you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

Fireworks can have many negative effects on wildlife, including:

● Startling and disorienting
Loud noises and bright lights can cause wildlife to flee, become disoriented, or even panic. This can disrupt their natural behaviors, like feeding, breeding, and migrating.
● Injury and death
Birds can be startled into flying into power lines or buildings, and may even fall to their deaths. Animals confined by fences can become injured or die.
● Habitat disruption
Fireworks often take place near bodies of water or in natural areas, which can disrupt wildlife habitats and nesting sites.
● Toxic chemicals
Fireworks release toxic chemicals and heavy metals into the air and water, which can contaminate the surrounding environment. Wildlife may also mistake these chemicals for food and ingest them.
● Wildfires
In areas prone to wildfires, embers from fireworks can start fires that destroy habitats and kill wildlife.
● Nesting disruption
Birds may abandon their nests due to the shock of fireworks, leaving their young vulnerable to predators.

We have all seen it happen! πŸ‘€

One second, your baby is sitting on the floor in your view practicing tummy time and the next… They are gone and on the move! πŸ‘‹πŸ»

The sudden changes in mobility can come as a surprise to not only us as parents and guardians, but also our dogs!

This is where our active, awake, aware adult supervision becomes even more important! Once a baby reaches mobility, we usually need double management (like a baby gate and X pen or a crate) when we aren’t able to actively be supervising to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety!

Another way to help increase success once your baby on the move is implementing this Family Paws Phrase:

β€œDog and Baby on the scene, Parent in Between!” πŸ’š

In these moments of change, it is important to remember that this is all new for our dogs too even if they have been around babies in the past!

Each dog and child are unique and require different things to feel safe! Always watch your dog’s body language for clues as to how they may be feeling about a certain situation and adjust accordingly!
