WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Are we raising a generation of kids who look at life only through a lens?
"It was like my third arm," says Reynolds High School student, Baker Kenan, about her smartphone. "I would always have it."
And Wake Forest University psychology professor, Deborah Best, thinks there is a price that many in the millennial generation will pay for being busier recording everything around them, instead of simply experiencing it as it happens.
"When you have divided attentions, you have divided emotions, you have divided social interactions," says Professor Best. "What you see with these teenagers who are doing this, they are watching the game, they're shifting back to recording, they're talking to a friend - they're not really experiencing any of those activities, one-on-one, the focus is not there."
Baker and her fellow high schoolers, Ben Dost and Hartley Anderson, are all strong students with active social lives, but much like how their parents and grandparents were warned that watching too much TV would stunt their development, these teenagers are aware of what living behind the lens can do to kids their age.
"Spending time with friends would look a little different," without a phone, says Hartley.
"Be aware of it and have a balance to it," says Ben. "Don't be addicted to it, but you don't have to put it away."
See what you think of the recorded life so many teens are living, in this edition of the Buckley Report.

"Oh yes, Louise, how I love you! You can't conceive of the happiness you offer me by promising to be that companion of whom I dreamed such a long time: From earliest adolescence, I felt that I needed an angel descended from heavens to fufill the needs of my heart. You are that angel, so good and so loving, I so fear losing you, you my sister, my friend. I belong to you before God; I swore to be with you before God... Divine soul, shall I ever be able to offer you the happiness you deserve?"
Letter from Hippolyte to Louise Colet, October 1834

Fast forward to when I was 25, married and expecting my first baby! I became less active and ate way more. I knew it wasn't the right thing but the excuse "I'm eating for two" just kept coming up. My son was born and I stayed at home and continued the bad eating habits. Every so often I'd say I'd get fit and lose weight but that would always last for a day or two. Then I attempted weight watchers, fitness challenges on facebook, you name it. It all worked for a bit and then I'd give up and go back to my bad eating habits and no exercise. Then it was time for baby number 2 and the weight kept creeping up and up. From there I had even less time to prepare healthy meals, eating became something that I did on the go when the kids weren't in need of anything. Time for exercise was non existent. At least that's what I would tell myself. I finally realised that excuses count for nothing and that I needed to do this.

One year ago exactly I discovered the Michelle Bridges12WBT. The program cost a fair bit of money but I figured it provided a meal plan, a shopping list, exercise programs and support. I signed up and completed the 12 weeks and was so happy with the results. Then I signed up for another round because I just couldn't continue on my own. Well that was a wasted round and so were another 2 after that. Whatever I managed to lose in the 1st round a year ago has been put back on.
Image Source: https://www.facebook.com/12WBT
But it's not all bad. In the last year I've learned some great things about nutrition and exercise. I did Crossfit with my brother, which I didn't enjoy. I can't explain what I didn't like, perhaps it was the killer WOD or doing things for time but in the end it just wasn't for me. I did my first running event, the Sydney Bridge Run which is a 9km course and completed it and managed to complete it in 1 hour 29 minutes. I discovered my outdoor training group who I've been training with since december which I absolutely love. If it wasn't for tekniQ training, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Sure not much has changed weight wise but I have become fitter, I have become stronger and I'm less whinny when it comes to exercise and just suck it up and do it (and we all know that muscle weights more than fat). I've discovered that I love boxing and lifting weights and I even have a before and after of my biceps which I'm so proud off! The beautiful trainers at tekniQ know your weakness and know how to make you feel great and push you that little bit more to complete a session. Besides the trainers, the other Tekniqers are friendly and helpful and there is always encouragement from others. Another thing that keeps me going back there is the variety. I've been training with them for 6 months now and I don't think I've ever had a repeat session. There is a wide range of exercises that we do and there is never a dull moment.
In saying all of that, I've decided to do another round of 12WBT to get my eating habits back in check.
Image Source: https://www.facebook.com/12WBT
So here is to a successful 12 weeks and seeing some more amazing results. I'm so grateful to have a wonderful husband who supports me and looks after the kids while I exercise. I also have a wonderful brother who is fitness freak who will push me to do more and who does happy dances with me about my calorie burn during a workout session. If you haven't heard about the program head on over to their website and have a look around. The meals are amazing and nutritious and by no means looks like "diet" food.
Are you doing a weightloss program? Does it work for you? What is your favourite exercise?

North Carolina, unfortunately, has a rich history ... in outsourcing. With Phillip Morris recently announcing plans to close its Concord plant, the feeling is all too familiar; our state is known for waving "bon voyage" to our original cash crops as companies move production overseas. Furniture, textiles, tobacco -- our livelihood for generations -- where has it all gone? In 1977, North Carolina's "Big Three" products accounted for 22 percent of the gross state product. Now it's 7 percent. Indicators of the steady decline:
• 2007: Philip Morris will close a cigarette manufacturing plant in Concord, eliminating 2,500 jobs. Symptomatic of declining U.S. tobacco sales, they sell four times more cigarettes abroad.
• 2005: Thomasville Furniture lays off 588 workers as demand grows for cheaper imports.
• 2003: Pillowtex in Cabarrus and Rowan counties goes bankrupt, forcing 5,000 people out of work, the largest layoff in N.C. history.
• An estimated one million jobs have been lost nationwide in the textile- and apparel-manufacturing sector since the enactment of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994; 193,000 of those losses were in North Carolina.

Recent NOTD: Barry M Indigo with Nfu Oh 40
What you're looking at here is two coats of Barry M Indigo topped with one of Nfu Oh 40 (and then my trusty Sally Hansen Insta Dri top coat).
The Barry M on its own was quite fetching and shiny, but no way I could leave it alone when I had that new bottle of blue/green flakies sitting there tempting me.
I got lots of compliments on this one from sale clerks and friends alike. Even muggles can see flakies are special.

News > Article
By Paul Norman - Friday, February 09, 2018 9:23
The agreement will see an increase in Four Seasons' term loan from £40m to £70m, while the interest rate is reduced from Libor plus 6% to Libor plus 3.75%.
"We are very appreciative of H/2's willingness to consider expanding its already substantial commitment to Four Seasons Health Care and for the continued support of all parties in pursuit of a consensual agreement," said Four Seasons' chairman Robbie Barr, Chairman, Four Seasons Health Care in a statement.
"We believe that this incremental liquidity and initial steps toward a revised governance structure lay the foundation for a consensual restructuring that benefits all stakeholders, and in particular provide continuity of care for our residents."
The parties are working on a full restructuring plan in March, which will see H/2 take control of the chain from Terra Firma, which bought Four Seasons in in 2012 for £825m.
H/2 is understood to be set to appoint Baronness Ford, the Labour peer and well known real estate figurem to lead the group.
The move comes after Four Seasons Health Care agreed a deal in December to defer a £26m debt payment in an attempt to prevent the collapse of the business.
Four Seasons Health Care and its lender, the US investment firm H/2 Capital Partners, issued a statement at the time deferring the debt payment, which was due today, until 2 April 2018. The move postponed key arguments about how to restructure the business.
The deal followed prior warnings from Four Seasons Health Care that it might not honour the payment. The warning prompted fears that the care home operator could fall into administration given the business had only £24.8m in cash on its books and is £540.2m in debt.
In October of 2018, the notes issuers behind the Four Seasons Health Care bond group announced long-anticipated plans for a financial creditor and leasehold estate restructuring via negotiation with its landlords to ensure the long-term stability of Britain's biggest care home operator.
In May the group, which runs 370 homes, raised its fees for the elderly as it bid to shore up its finances ahead of the crucial restructuring.
The increase, agreed with local authorities, was needed to offset rising food, energy and staffing costs and came in a year when Four Seasons' debt climbed from £509.9m in April to £565m at the end of December 2016.
Four Seasons confirmed then it would have to refinance later this year to ensure the continued operation of the business.
The company has struggled with the interest payments on its debt after being bought by Guy Hands' private equity business Terra Firma in 2012 in an £825m highly leveraged deal.
It has annual interest payments of £55.3m on its £565m debt, meaning it is not making the money it needs to pay its bondholders.
The restructuring aimed to deliver an improved capital structure via: the contribution of the 24 homes that sit outside the High Yield Bond Group by Terra Firma via FSHC Group Holdings Limited; the day one impact of Non-High Yield Bond Group contribution results in an EBITDA increase of £18.9m and cash flow increase of £17.1m; and the further upside potential from the leasehold estate restructuring.
In addition senior secured net leverage will be reduced from 7.2x to 5.7x and total net leverage reduced from 10.3x to 6.5x assuming no rent savings are delivered through the leasehold estate restructuring.
The existing £40m super senior term loan facility was refinanced on 16 October 2017 with a new £40m super senior term loan with a maturity date in March 2019. Under this the lenders have agreed to support the proposed restructuring and to negotiate with a view to entering into a new super senior term loan facility with a further maturity extension.
It is also proposing two year maturity extensions via the new senior secured notes and the new senior notes and the reduction of the cash interest burden via partial equitisation of the senior notes and reduction in the cash pay notes coupons.
It also flagged enhanced noteholder protections with new senior secured notes receiving a tighter covenant regime.
The parties said the restructuring was being announced as despite recent improvements in operational and financial performance, with care quality ratings, customer satisfaction and occupancy being above historical norms, the business has faced significant industry-wide challenges over the past five years, which have adversely impacted earnings.
These challenges in the health care services sector include historical and on-going underfunding, increased regulation and related compliance obligations and costs, and own staff shortages resulting in an increase in agency costs.
The factors outlined above contributed to a decline in reported EBITDAR from £143.9m for FY2013 to a low point of £88.5m for FY2015.
Despite the industry-wide challenges, the management and colleagues have delivered an operational turnaround over the last two years that has resulted in significant operational and financial improvements, including an increase in EBITDAR from the 2015 low point to £99.9m for LTM to June 2017.

Kansas officials are rethinking a decision to house prison inmates in a county jail and have moved all of them back to a state facility after four escaped, including a convicted murderer, reports the Associated Press. The remaining 18 prison inmates who were held in the Ottawa County Jail have been returned to the state prison in Ellsworth. Overcrowding at Ellsworth had led the department to transfer inmates in January to the county jail.
The escape Wednesday morning from the jail in Minneapolis, a small town about 120 miles west of Topeka, also spurred debate among state legislators about prison overcrowding and keeping inmates in county lockups. Two inmates remained at large: Santos Carrera-Morales and Eric James, both 22. Carrera-Morales was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for a double-slaying in 2007, while James was serving time for 2008 convictions of aggravated robbery, burglary, kidnapping and criminal damage. A state prisons spokesman said the department was "reassessing our jail placement in Ottawa County right now."

Our highly trained staff will discuss treatment options and procedures with each patient to inform and involve the patient in the planning of diagnosed dental care. Our dentist is highly trained and your dental procedures will be treated thoroughly and completely even for the simplest dental cares. Basic preventive and restorative treatments such as cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, and denture repair are some of the more common dental procedures completed during a regular dental check up.
Composite Fillings
A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling.
There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth. As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable, and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.
When a tooth is cracked, decayed, or damaged, a dental crown may need to be fitted onto the tooth. A dental crown is a permanent covering that fits over the original tooth. Crowns can be made of porcelain, gold or a combination of both materials. Porcelain crowns typically have the most realistic appearance, although they tend to be less durable than other materials when used on the back molars. Dental crowns can whiten, reshape and realign existing teeth, adding to a healthy and vibrant smile.
Full and Partial Dentures
A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.
There are two types of dentures - complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A Partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting.
- A Complete denture may be either "conventional" or "immediate." A conventional type is made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking 4 to 6 weeks. During this time the patient will go without teeth. Immediate dentures are made in advance and immediately placed after the teeth are removed, thus preventing the patient from having to be without teeth during the healing process. Once the tissues shrink and heal, adjustments will have to be made.
- Dentures are very durable appliances and will last many years, but may have to be remade, repaired, or readjusted due to normal wear.
The word periodontal means "around the tooth". Periodontal disease attacks the gums and the bone that support the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva. If plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus (tartar). When plaque and calculus are not removed, they begin to destroy the gums and bone.
Periodontal disease is characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.
Four out of five people have periodontal disease and don't know it! Most people are not aware of it because the disease is usually painless in the early stages. Not only is it the number one reason for tooth loss, research suggests that there may be a link between periodontal disease and other diseases such as, stroke, bacterial pneumonia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and increased risk during pregnancy.
Researchers are determining if inflammation and bacteria associated with periodontal disease affects these systemic diseases and conditions. Smoking also increases the risk of periodontal disease.
Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits can help reduce your risk of developing periodontal disease.
Signs and symptoms of periodontal disease:
Bleeding gums - Gums should never bleed, even when you brush vigorously or use dental floss.
Loose teeth - Also caused by bone loss or weakened periodontal fibers (fibers that support the tooth to the bone).
New spacing between teeth - Caused by bone loss.
Persistent bad breath - Caused by bacteria in the mouth.
Pus around the teeth and gums - Sign that there is an infection present.
Receding gums - Loss of gum around a tooth.
Red and puffy gums - Gums should never be red or swollen.
Tenderness or Discomfort - Plaque, calculus, and bacteria irritate the gums and teeth.

Establishment (Colonization by Russian Empire)
Alyeska was discovered by an unknown/disputed Russian sailor in 1847. The first little fishing port "New Petersburg" was established on 24th April 1849 and was just west of OTL Anchorage. As this fishing port/small village grew, new ports sprung up (most being established by Polish or Ukrainian people). By 1850 Alyeska was home to just over 500 permanent residents. A flag that represents the Alyeska people is proposed and passed on June 17th 1860.
Tensions with British Empire (mainly Dominion of Canada)
In 1867 the Dominion of Canada was formed, but differently then in OTL. In this timeline the Dominion of Canada gained all of British Canada (from Newfoundland to B.C.). Do to this and the fact that the border between Alyeska and British Canada had been under dispute since the day when both Russian and British settlers arrived at OTL Vancouver Island, the Alyeska Border War was set to begin.
The Alyeska Border War
the Alyeska Border War was a conflict that occurred in 1868 and went on until 1871. In 1868 the British (who had been angered by years of Russian settlement in "British" or "Canadian" lands, of which Vancouver Island was of particular emphasis) decided they had enough of this Russian menace and declared war on the Russian Empire. Russia responded by taking their Pacific Navy (which was brand new and consisted of 15 of the finest ships Russia had) and loading it with over 10,000 troops (all of their Eastern forces). The ships may have been crammed to the brim with troops but Russia would be damned to allow the British to just take their land. The 1500 citizens of Alyeska all pitched in as an untrained Militia to add to Russia's army. Once the army arrived and the Militia joined them 8,500 the 11,500 men launched an offensive at Victoria (a port city on the coast of mainland B.C.) where they eventually won. the other 3000 men stayed in Vancouver (or New Moskva depending on who you asked) to defend the city. The British responded with the seizure of Mikora (a newly established village on the border of Alyeska and OTL Yukon). The British slaughtered everyone. Men, Women and even Children/Babies of the village. The outraged Russian Tsar ordered 25,000 more men (transported by the Atlantic navy) to arrived as quickly as possible. After 3 years of fighting and the arrival of many new Russian troops, the British (who had been slowly pushed out of B.C. altogether) sued for Peace. The treaty of Alyeska was signed. Britain had to disarm the regions around Alyeska and to seed Alyeska B.C. The British hesitantly accepted the terms, although Canada to this day still disputes the treaty. Shortly after the war in 1875, the USA (trying to become a world power) offered to buy Alyeska (including B.C.) for $10 million. The Tsar respectfully declined the offer and the USA accepted this and moved on to other places.
Beginning of the Dominion of Alyeska (1885)
When Nicholas II became Tsar in 1885 he was inspired by the British idea of Dominions, so he allowed Alyeska (which, even though it had lost approx. 25% of it's citizens in the Border War had rebounded and now had 50,000 permanent inhabitants -remember B.C-) to semi self-govern and named it the Dominion of Alyeska. Not much happened between 1885 and World War One.
Alyeska in World War One and the end of the Dominion (1914-1917)
World War One broke out exactly as in our timeline, except with the Dominion of Alyeska alongside Russia. The war also loosened tensions between Alyeska and Canada, as they were both part of the T. Entente. Although that didn't mean Canada would just forget about British Columbia however. Alyeska sent their whole army (although in separate groups as opposed to just one group) of 15,000 troops both with Canadian troops (although Canada made strict policies with Alyeska about troops entering Canada) as well across the Bering Strait and into Siberia. Alyeska troops would serve on both the Russian front and the Western (French & Belgian) Front. When Russia collapsed in 1917 the Dominion was officially over and a new, independent state would be established. Canada decided that if Alyeska would pay them $1.5 million they could keep B.C. (albeit with Canada still claiming it).
The New, Young and Proud Alyeska Republic (1917-1920)
The Republic of Alyeska is a nation that's span is from OTL Alaska to the northernmost regions of OTL Washington state (this is because of Alyeska settlers settling small parts of Washington and the USA deciding that because Alyeska isn't Communist like the Soviets they can keep this land). The Pacific in this timeline is not dominated by the USA and Canada, but rather the USA and Alyeska. The Alyeska flag debate started in late 1919 as citizens tried to decide if they should keep their flag or change it to a new flag. A flag by a young boy named Benny Benson catches people's attention. Benson's flag is made the official flag of Alyeska on 13th July, 1920. The people cheer as the old flag is replaced with the new one.
The Great Depression (1928-1939)
The stock market crashed in 1928. This affected many other nations worse than it did Alyeska. Alyeska would survive this era, but it was affected slightly as imports fell by 5-10%. Not much can really be said for this era.
World War 2 (Alyeska was only involved 1941-1945)
Alyeska was hesitant to say the least about World War 2. At first, Alyeska citizens voted No for getting involved. Alyeska did passively support the Allies though. In 1941 however, after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor (Alyeska was allowed to use the base along with their American buddies) Alyeska joined the USA in the war. Of the Alyeska population of 150,000, 25,000 were troops. Alyeska loaned all 25,000 troops to the USA for the duration of the war. the Alyeska United Army was a major help to the British and Canadians in liberating the Netherlands in 1944 (Netherlands is liberated much faster in this timeline).
Cold War-Present
Nothing really notable happened in Alyeska post-ww2. The economy did boom in the 1950's as it did in most other countries. Rock N Roll becomes popular in Alyeska in the early 60's. Alyeska is loosely associated with The Anglo Alliance. The cold war tensions the 4 nations have against the Soviets does effect Alyeska, as they are involved in N.O.R.A.D. Present Day Alyeska is home to 1,050,250 people and is one of the world's larger nations at approximately 3,245,125 km².

The Pug remains one of the most popular breeds to own. Pugs may be small in stature, but they have big personalities and are extremely intelligent little dogs. They are confident by nature with an affectionate and mischievous side to their natures that endears them to just about everyone they meet. They adapt well to family life and other lifestyles which are just some of the reasons they have remained popular today. Pugs are incredibly people-oriented and hate it when left on their own for any length of time, but once you've shared a home with a Pug, there'll be no going back.
Although the exact origins of Pugs remain unknown, they are considered one of the most ancient breeds on the planet. Originating in Ancient China where only Emperors could own a Pug, these little dogs found their way over to Europe when China allowed Dutch explorers to trade in their lands. It is said that sailors smuggled these little dogs out of China and once back home, they were an immediate hit with the nobility and upper classes due to their small size and sweet natures.
Pugs were first seen in England in the 17th Century with records of William III owning one. They became the "official dog" of Dutch royalty around the same time before gaining popularity in other European countries including Spain, France and Italy. At the time, Pugs were different to the dogs we see today because they had longer faces and legs.
In 1860, a new type of Pug was imported from China and these dogs boasted shorter noses and shorter legs. Their "pug noses" were an immediate hit with Queen Victoria and very soon the breed was once again popular with many royals. It was Queen Victoria who banned people from cropping a Pug's ears because she deemed it cruel.
- Pugs are a brachycephalic breed.
- Napoleon's wife, Josephine owned a Pug called Fortune.
- Groups of Pugs are referred to as "grumbles".
- Pugs should have two curls in their tails.
- Pugs are susceptible to catching colds because of their short noses.
Pugs are compact, robust and well-proportioned, slightly square looking little dogs. However, their heads are quite big in relation to their bodies and they are round with short, snubbed black noses which are quite large in relation to the size of their heads. Their defining physical features are their expressive, large, dark eyes and the adorable wrinkles around their faces.
A Pug's ears are small and they feel like velvet to the touch. There are two kinds which are the Button Ear and Rose Ear. Their mouths are very slightly undershot which adds to their overall appeal. They hold their strong and thick necks slightly arched which gives the Pug their proud look.
Feet are tidy and neat with well-defined toes and black nails. A Pug's tail is tightly curled and set high and double curls are looked on favourably as a breed standard. Their bodies should have well-defined hard muscles which should not be confused with a Pug being overweight.
When it comes to coat, a Pug has a short, glossy, smooth and fine coat with a well-defined black line that runs all the way down their backs. They also boast a nice dark mask and their markings in their coats are well defined. These markings should always be as dark as possible which includes any moles a dog has on their cheeks, diamonds on their foreheads or thumb marks found on their bodies.
Silver, Apricot, Fawn, Black
Colours are clearly defined so that contrasting colours on a dog's face and other parts of the body are evident. Their markings should be nicely defined
Pugs are compact, strong dogs and when they move it is with purpose, having a true "action" when seen from the front and the side. Their front legs move strongly and their back legs move freely with feet always facing forward.
Pugs are renowned for their kind, sweet natures which is why they have remained such popular companions throughout the centuries. Some people say that sharing a home with a Pug is more like living with a small child than a dog, which is especially true when it comes to their need for attention. Pugs are ultra-sociable and they thrive on being around people.
Being highly intelligent, Pugs also need to quite a bit of training and it's important to handle them gently yet firmly because they can be mischievous and naughty at times. It would be fair to say that Pugs need more time spent on their training than a lot of other breeds just for this reason. It's also worth bearing in mind that these little dogs remain extremely puppy-like throughout their lives which is why they are such great fun to have around.
The breed is known to be extremely friendly when they are around people they don't know. Another nice trait is that although they are very affectionate, Pugs are not clingy, but when they have been given enough attention, a Pug will quite happily go off and do their own thing. Pugs need to know their place in the "pack" and who is the alpha dog or they might show a more dominant side to their characters.
A well socialised and trained Pug is a joy to have around and they thoroughly enjoy being the centre of attention loving nothing more than to play the clown.
Are they a good choice for first time owners?
Pugs are a great choice for first time dog owners providing they have lots of time to spend with their canine companions. Pugs form strong ties with their owners. It can also take time and patience to house train a Pug puppy with some dogs taking months to learn where to
What about excessive barking?
Pugs have funny voices and are not known to be overly vocal although some of them are barkers. They are intelligent and can be taught not to bark for no reason, but this needs to be done without being too hard on a young Pug. This typically ends up with them expressing their feelings through excessive barking.
Do Pugs like water?
Pugs do like swimming and will instinctively take to water when the weather is warm. It's best to wait until your Pug is that much older. Because of their short noses, care should be taken when a Pug goes swimming because water can easily get up their noses which can cause them all sorts of breathing issues.
Intelligence / Trainability
Pugs are intelligent little dogs however, they do boast a bit of a stubborn streak in them which means it takes a firm, yet gentle hand when it comes to training them. It is also essential for owners to be consistent and always fair, because Pugs are quite sensitive by nature even if they are stubborn at times. Rules and boundaries must be established early when living with a Pug and they need to be taught their place in the "pack".
Pugs respond well to positive reinforcement. If this is done too harshly it could have an adverse effect on a dog rather than a positive outcome. Pugs are renowned for testing boundaries and limits which means being firm and consistent throughout a dog's life remembering that it's in a Pug's nature to see how much they can get away with before being told off.
Children and Other Pets
Pugs are renowned for their genuine love of children. They are robust little dogs that enjoy being around kids even when playtime gets a bit on the rough side. It's always best to supervise children when they are around dogs to make sure things stay calm and that things don't get too boisterous.
Pugs are also known to be good when they are around other pets and animals which includes cats. They rarely show any sort of aggressive behaviour towards other dogs or pets which is another reason why they are so popular the world over as family pets. However, as with any other breed, Pug puppies need to be well socialised from a young age so they grow up to be confident, outgoing and well-rounded mature dogs that take everything in their stride.
The average life expectancy of a Pug is between 12 – 14 years when properly cared for and fed an appropriate good quality diet to suit their ages. Because Pugs have a relatively small gene pool the breed is known to suffer from a few hereditary health issues. These include the following: Eye Disorders, Cataracts, Entropion (Eyelids Folding Inwards), Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Muzzle Problems, Elongated Soft Palate (ES), Luxating Patella.
Because Pugs have remained so popular and therefore in high demand, the breed's health is of the utmost importance. At Little Rascals, we do our utmost to ensure that all their breeding dogs are sound and healthy so that any offspring they produce are less likely of inheriting hereditary problems the breed is known to suffer from.
Caring for a Pug
Any time a Pug looks off colour and they are not acting like their normal selves, the earlier they are examined by a vet the better because most health concerns when caught in their early stages are that much easier to treat and the outcome is therefore a lot more positive for the dog.
Looked after correctly, Pugs are pretty low-maintenance little dogs. They need to be groomed on a regular basis to make sure their coats and skin are kept in tip-top condition. It's important to keep the wrinkles around the faces nice and clean to avoid any sores developing. They also need to be given regular daily exercise so they remain fit and healthy. On top of this, Pugs need to be fed a good quality well-balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs throughout their lives.
Caring for a Pug puppy
Getting a Pug puppy into a routine from the word go helps them through what can be a stressful and anxious time. The routine means feeding a puppy at the same time of the day and establishing a daily grooming schedule which helps reinforce the bond between owner and puppy.
Your puppy would have been wormed by us, which is information that will be included in their paperwork along with details of microchipping, but it is important for them to be wormed again when the time is right once they arrive in their new home. They should be wormed regularly as follows:
Puppies should be wormed monthly to the age of 6 months old and then quarterly.
Pug puppies can be quite boisterous, but care should always be taken making sure that playtime never gets too rough. It's also important for their new environment to be safe for them to roam around in which includes both indoors and outside in the garden. Puppy proofing a home and a garden can take a bit of thought and time.
Puppies also need to have a quiet corner where they can relax and sleep because they need to take lots of naps throughout the day. Puppies can sleep for anything up to 12 hours a day. Their bed or crate should be away from too much traffic, but somewhere that is not too out of the way so you can keep an eye and ear on them. It's also important for puppies not to feel they are on their own.
Feeding a new puppy
At Little Rascals we always give new owners a sheet showing what they have been feeding their puppies and the frequency of their meal times and it is important to keep to this to avoid any digestive problems.
Pug puppies are full of energy and when they play, they play hard before collapsing and going to sleep again. They need to be fed a high quality, nutritious diet that meets all their needs so they have the energy to play and enough left over to promote good growth. We recommend Royal Canin. Puppies need to be fed several times a day which is typically 4 times in a 24-hour period.
It is essential to feed a puppy at the same times every day and to make sure their meal times are evenly spread out so that they don't develop hypoglycaemia, a condition where a puppy's blood sugar levels drop rapidly which can make a puppy very ill. From 6 months puppy should be fed twice a day.
If there is one thing that Pugs enjoy, it's being groomed because they love the one to one attention it involves. Being heavy shedders, Pugs need to be brushed most days and it not only strengths a bond between owner and dog, but it keeps their coat and skin in tip top condition too.
If you are about to get a Pug puppy, it's important to start grooming them as soon as possible so they get used to the brush and all the other tools you would use to keep their coats looking good. You should also teach a puppy to have their nails touched which means that when and if they do need trimming, you would be able to trim their nails without any drama or stress.
When it comes to bathing a Pug, this might need to be done on the odd occasion and ideally it should be when the weather is warmer so that a dog does not catch a chill. Pugs in general enjoy being bathed. You also need to make sure a Pug is thoroughly dried after having been given a bath, paying special attention to the wrinkles around their faces.
Pug puppies should not be given too much exercise because it could have serious consequences on their well-being. Puppies are still growing and developing and as such only need to be given a little exercise to avoid having too much pressure put on their joints and backs. Pug puppies should not be allowed to run up and down stairs or jump up on furniture. They should always be lifted into a car too. Being allowed to run around and play in a garden is all that a puppy would really need in the early stages of their lives.
Mature dogs don't need a lot of exercise, but Pugs need to be taken out for a brisk walk at least once a day for 20 or so minutes. If you have a secure garden, there's nothing these little dogs enjoy more than spending as much time as they can out in it when you are at home and the weather is fine.
Care should be taken during the hotter weather because a Pug can easily get overheated not just when they are out on a walk, but also if they lie in the sun for too long. During the summer, it's best to take a Pug out for a walk early in the morning.
A lot of Pugs don't particularly like going out when it's raining or cold outside and will refuse to take a step outdoors when the weather is bad. If it is very wet and windy, it's best to just take them out for a really short walk because weather conditions like this can hurt a Pug's eyes. It's also important to keep an eye on their breathing when they are out on a walk to make sure they are not straining to catch their breath which can lead to them overheating.
However, it's important for Pugs to be given enough exercise otherwise they will happily turn into couch potatoes. A problem that Pugs are prone to suffer from and carrying too much weight can seriously affect a dog's health and wellbeing.
If you have just got a Pug puppy from Little Rascals we will have provided you with feeding instructions so they are fed the same amount of food at the same time of the day which helps avoid any digestive upsets. We would also recommend a puppy be fed the same type of food to begin with for the same reason. We recommend Royal Canin.
Puppies need to be fed more frequently than adult dogs, and ideally this needs to be either 2 or 3 times a day. At 6 months, puppies can safely be fed twice a day.
Older Pugs should be fed a good quality, well-balanced diet to suit their ages making sure it contains the correct levels of nutrients to meet a dog's needs.
Pugs are not generally fussy eaters and in fact, quite the opposite is true because some dogs tend to like their food a little too much which means keeping an eye on a dog's weight and to always make sure they are getting enough exercise to burn off any excess calories. Ideally, an adult Pug should be fed a smaller meal in the morning and then a larger meal in the afternoon or early evening. As a rough guide the amount of food a mature, adult Pug should be fed daily is as follows: 121g to 190g depending on a dog's size and build.
Average cost to keep/care for a Pug
If you are looking to buy a Pug, you would need to pay anything from £500 to £1500 for a well-bred pedigree puppy. The cost of insuring a male 3-year old Pug in England would be £22.01 a month for basic cover, but the premium rises to £40.81 a month for a lifetime policy (quote as of March 2016). An insurance company factors in quite a few things when calculating a pet's premium and this includes where you live in the UK and a dog's age and their breed.
When it comes to food costs, you would need to buy the best quality food whether wet or dry for your dog throughout their lives and it must be one that suits the different stages of their lives. This would set you back between £40 – £50 per month. On top of this, you will need to factor in veterinary costs if you want to share your home with a Pug this includes their second vaccinations, the cost of neutering or spaying your dog when the time is right and then their annual health check visits.
As a rough guide, the average cost to keep and care for a Pug would be between £60 and £90 a month depending on the level of pet insurance you opt to get for your dog.
Breed Specific Buying Advice
When visiting and buying any puppy or dog, there are many important things to consider and questions to ask of the breeder. You can read our generic puppy/dog advice here which includes making sure you see the puppy with its mother and to verify that the dog has been microchipped.

Four Reasons Why I Hate Walt Disney World
I recently took my family to Orlando's Walt Disney World, our first visit to the "House of the Mouse." For my two kids, this was certainly one of their trips of a lifetime, and they're itching to go back for more. The whole place is an incredibly impressive experience, and the Disney memory-making machine is certainly a well-oiled success. In 2010, almost 17 million people visited the Magic Kingdom alone; the company's worldwide parks and resorts generated a mammoth $11 billion in revenues in 2011. Big numbers aside, though, there were some areas where I left feeling a little disappointed. Here's why.
Food Fit for a Princess? Hardly.
I wasn't expecting gourmet food and knew that everything would be theme-park prices, but the food we had at both the Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios was a huge letdown. We even tried dinner at the Animal Kingdom Lodge's more upscale Kidani restaurant and left feeling that even its more exotic menu was dumbed-down for mass consumption. Given the huge demand and global clientele, I think Disney's missing a trick in introducing bolder, more imaginative flavors to its theme-park fare. Yell at me all you like about tasting the food at Epcot, but why can't this be a resort-wide focus? Perhaps then I might feel less aggrieved at parting with $40 for lunch for a family of four.

Highlights of a Disney Dream Family Cruise Vacation
Disney Dream docked at Castaway Cay (Kara Williams)
As one of the lucky media types invited to preview the brand-new Disney Dream a couple weeks ago for its Inaugural Christening Cruise, I was frankly bowled over by this 4,000-passenger ship. Forty percent bigger—and two decks taller—than its sister ships the Wonder and the Magic, the Disney Dream is chock full of amenities and services that delight families, from the live musical productions in the 1,340-seat Walt Disney Theatre to incredibly tricked-out kids' clubs to its crowning glory: the AquaDuck water coaster, a first in the cruise industry.
That said, a Disney Dream Bahamian cruise may not be ideal for all families. With a call at Disney's private island Castaway Cay, guests step off the ship to enjoy a ton of gorgeous white-sand beach, but not one iota of authentic Bahamian culture. What you give up in genuine Caribbean experiences, however, you gain tenfold of all things Disney—from the show tunes piped into the public spaces to the "Hidden Mickeys" (subtle Mickey head-and-ears symbols) woven into the shower curtains to the Donald Duck, Pluto, and princess characters you'll see all over the ship, all day long, meeting and greeting their fans.

Top Ten Places to Live Like a Pirate
AHOY, MATEYS!: The Flying Dutchman at Disney's Castaway Cay (courtesy, Disney)
The Away.com office has been abuzz with pirate talk this week after the somewhat surreal events off the coast of Somalia, no doubt pleasing one of our staffers who is one of the world's biggest pirate-philes judging from his yearly Halloween pirate fest. But beyond all our swashbuckling pirate wit, it got us thinking about where to travel for some good old-fashioned pirate action—without getting in the crosshairs of AK-47-wielding Somali sea bandits (or indeed sharpshooting Navy SEALs). Here are our top ten picks; tell us if you know any other good pirate hideouts in the comments section below.

Vulgaris are basically sacs stuffed with fluid that take the presence of montage. Most usually, in reality poor ovarian this case, currently being absorbed inside the liquid within the ovarian Cyst again trigger collapse fibroid of the poor, burst ovarian and just fades of its a few monthly cycles. Cautious, disease Vulgaris Cause Infecundity You quite often complain as a result of pain inside the abdominal place to divide to the lesser abdomen.
In this form of Ovarian Cyst Removal Operation the patient will be given local anesthetics so that they happen to be unconscious or maybe they will go through the pain. Research indicate that insulin-resistant females have further likelihood of finding PCOS an equal female interior reproductive appendage cells that area product active in the development of the teeth and your hair can even bring about dermoid vulgaris.
I have a great polycystic ovarian syndrome and an ultrasound prior to my own surgery proven cysts that you write in the cue section ovary. Various other cancers just like breast and ovarian cancers in girls; as well as for prostatic cancer in men, exhibited a steady enhance. INTRODUCTION: Significant simple lean meats cysts quite often tend to end up being symptomatic with vauge pain being the most frequent symptom.
Consider a time when you might wake up prefer not to find that slow pain inside your abdomen, consider starting a single day fresh and able to go. Consider putting each of the worry of anything to carry out with Ovarian Cysts directly to the back of the mind, and forgetting regarding it for good.
Bilateral Hemorrhagic Ovarian Cyst:
The most interesting part is the fact these vulgaris exhibit symptoms, which have extraordinary similarity to pregnancy. Inadequate immune system: A weak immunity mechanism invites problem, as it is unable to put up an all-natural fight against ovarian cyst triggers. Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy… ovarian tender spot surgery with regards to short.
The authors of your present survey demonstrate two cases of submental epidermoid cysts in children. Hemorrhagic cysts that rupture are much less common. Out of ultrasound, we could know the "growth" in the ovary is either cyst or sound. If the egg is certainly not fertilized or perhaps pregnancy, this kind of cyst vanishes over a period time Dermoid cyst — this is linked to tissues creating the skin, your hair and the teeth.
For women following menopause, virtually any surgery mixed up in treatment of a great ovarian cyst will often entail both ovaries. The more rapidly you start a great ovarian cyst treatment the better. Yet , not everybody with proven ovarian cancers will have a great abnormal CA-125 results.
Hemorrhagic ovarian vulgaris have changing wall fullness, and often several circumferential vascularity can be seen. A long way there is no manner of working of reniforme cysts affected individuals examination and treatment.

Should your cyst explodes, you need to go to a doctor immediately. Hemorrhagic cyst occurs when the cyst ruptures or perhaps twists. This can be a recurrent tool applied to diagnosing a mysterious condition just like ovarian vulgaris where a person has abs pain or perhaps sustained an accident to the tummy.
Massive challenging ovarian vulgaris can cause obvious signs or symptoms or may well not show signs at all. Hemorrhagic ovarian vulgaris are a form of functional cyst. The bottom line is this kind of, by changing lifestyle behaviors you can often remove the dependence on pills or perhaps surgery, with regards to relief from a ruptured ovarian cyst.
It is also possible to be entirely unaware, nonetheless, that you have a cyst and can come and go not having your knowledge. My own mother and two friends were entirely shocked and distressed; my own mother, who's 65, realized all about ovarian cancer mainly because she acquired friends considering the disease, although I had never read about it.
