You know those people in life, the ones that make you feel automatically cooler by just being around them? Maryal and Chris are those type of people and they also happen to be bright lights of personality, energy and kindness. And they are completely gorgeous to boot.
When Maryal and Chris, voices behind the blog Love & Specs, reached out about their upcoming wedding I was immediately drawn to their vision for such a special day. Their wedding, like their engagement session, is going to be dripping in romantic elements with just the right amount of hip. With the beautiful Arizona desert landscape as a starting point, they decide to style their session with a vintage car and throwback to the rockabilly era. I am completely smitten with these images and this couple. Here are some of my favorites from the first half of their session, be sure to check back for a dreamy part 2!

Introducing Business Units
When we recently updated the Settings part of our PIEmatrix online project management platform, we made business units accessible to all of our customers. PIEmatrix has supported business units for a while on a requested basis, but now each organization can add and manage their own business units in their accounts. What are Business Units?
Business units can be different functional groups within your company or organization. For example, they can be IT, Marketing, Finance, or HR. A business unit can also have child BUs. For example, Finance can have A/R, A/P, or Reconciliation. Business units can also be set up geographically, such as for the USA, Europe, or Asia. Each business unit can have its own pie templates and projects, and you can control what each user has access to by giving them different privileges in each business unit.
Let's say we have a user named Sue, who works in the Human Resources department. You can assign Sue to the Human Resources business unit with full privileges, which would allow her to create templates and projects, assign people to steps, and edit the projects she's made. You could also assign her to the Marketing business unit as a team member user with fewer privileges.
New Dashboard Power
With business units, an executive or director can filter the portfolio of projects by functional departments using the business unit filter. This is very powerful since you can establish separate visibility for directors locally in each business unit, while the senior executives can oversee all business units with one view. This level of filtering provides another level of filtering on top of the great tagging feature.
The Hierarchy of Business Units
Business units are hierarchical, and a user in a particular business unit will only have access to content in both the unit they are assigned to, and to content in any business unit that is a child of their top business unit. They would not have access to content in any higher level business unit unless they were also assigned to those units directly. The only exception to this is that users with authoring permissions will see PIE templates from all business units (except for sibling business units), and all users will be able to see and access any project to which they are assigned.
How to Create Business Units
To create a new business unit, click on "Settings" in the upper right hand corner of your PIEmatrix application. Then click on the "Account Settings" tab. The link to the Business Unit page will be on the left hand side, near the bottom:
When the Business Unit page loads, click on "Assign New Business Unit", give your new business unit a name, and decide where you would like it to be within your organization. You can also give a description of how project sizes should be determined for your new business unit, but this is optional.
You can add business units, or rename them by clicking the Edit button that will appear when you hover over one of your business units. If you need to move or delete a business unit, please contact PIEmatrix support at email@example.com.

Coffee cake
My first real cake, made with delicious coffee-flavored buttercream. It was really good, and simple! Because this cake doesn't require leveling, you can simply bake two layers separately, then stack them — a perfect recipe for beginners! :-)
I made my cake with normal instant coffee, but you can also use decaf coffee for same taste, but caffeine-free cake! :-)
Simple chicken teriyaki bento
This recipe is very easy and fast to cook, because it requires ready-made teriyaki sauce. Still, it's a really tasty alternative to sausages and pork, and chicken made in teriyaki style is juicy, tender and full of aroma! It also takes just few minutes, because the meat is first fried quickly, and then glazed with sauce. Fast food like a boss ;-)
Teriyaki salmon bento
I think life is too short to keep the frozen salmon in the fridge! :-) So I made a teriyaki salmon bento, which was so fast to cook, that I had too much idle time in the morning... Just be careful not to overcook the teriyaki sauce, because it may have a burnt taste. Also, optional lotus root slices will keep the fish tender and juicy for the time when you can finally devour every last bit of it ;-)
Tuna paste bento
Tuna paste is ridiculously easy to prepare and makes a great no cooking bento, cutting the preparation time to less than 20 minutes, including rice cooking time! Now, that's what I would call cooking on the go! You can also use the tuna paste for a great tasting onigiri or sushi.
Teriyaki pork strips with shallots bento
This simple recipe requires only 3 ingredients: sliced pork loin (already mentioned minute steaks or easy steaks), shallots and teriyaki sauce. It's also one of the lazy recipes — part of it you can prepare evening before, and finish it quickly before serving or packing your bento box. Plus, marinating for a long time allows increased flavors to transfer easily across the meat!

Recent Life Events
19. The initial scoring is binary. 1 if the life event has happened, and 0 if it has not.
20. The number of events that the respondent considers are still affecting them is then counted.
21. In piloting respondents reported up to 17 events in the last year, of which up to 10 were still having an affect. The average number of events was between 7 & 8, of which about half were still considered by the caregiver to be affecting them.
22. The questionnaire does not have a cut off point. It is scored on the basis that the more life events the adult has been through, the higher the score, and therefore the greater the likelihood of some form of longer term impact on the adult, child and or family. This will be particularly so if the person considers the events still affect them.
Brugha T, Bebington P, Tennant C and Hurry J (1985) The list of threatening experiences: A subset of 12 life events categories with considerable long-term contextual threat. Psychological medicine. 15: 189194. 9. It can contribute to a social history, or provide an opportunity to re-evaluate whether known events are continuing to exert an influence.
10. It is expected that it will be used mostly with main caregivers, but it could be of value with potential caregivers and separated parents.
11. In piloting it was found to be extremely useful in both initial assessment and continuing work. It raised new issues on three out of every four occasions on which it was used.
12. With new families the questionnaire gave further insight into the carers background. It put into perspective the reasons why the mother was down.
13. With respondents with whom workers were already familiar it revealed information not previously known. It identified issues that the family had not considered stressful or told me. It highlighted issues that were and were not still having an effect. One social worker reported that they were able to find out the carers view of issues.
14. It is clear that social workers should be prepared for what may emerge if this instrument is used.
15. The scale should be given to the respondent, usually a main caregiver, after appropriate preparation. This will depend on whether the context is an assessment or a review.
16. It may be helpful to acknowledge that the worker appreciates that thinking about important family events may stir up painful memories.
17. The questionnaires take about 15 minutes to complete, but discussion can take considerably longer.
18. Although not used in this way in the piloting, it could form a valuable basis for a family discussion. This would require further preparation and negotiation.
1. Life events are usually short-lived but may have more enduring consequences.
2. They can be distinguished from chronic difficulties, such as poverty or persistently discordant relationships. However life events can be both an indicator of chronic difficulties, or a precipitant of them.
3. Life events affect individuals and families in different ways, so it is important to explore how they impact on the caregivers and the family. For example, the death of a grandparent may have a practical as well as an emotional impact on the family if they have helped to support and care for the children.
4. Negative life events such as divorce, death of someone close, physical illness and unemployment have the capacity to affect any family member, not just those directly involved. Losing a parent at a young age, particularly before 11, has been reported to independently influence wellbeing in both childhood and adult life.
5. Most negative life events can be seen as involving the experience of loss, or threat of loss, including the loss of self esteem. Some apparently positive events such as job promotion may act in this way.
6. An important issue is whether an event is felt to continue to exert a negative affect. This aspect has not always been included in questionnaires.
The Questionnaire
7. This Life Events questionnaire has been developed from one devised by Brugha et al (1985), with 9 additional items.
8. The scale aims to look at recent life events, those occurring in the last 12 months and whether the respondent thinks they have a continuing influence.
However it can be used to evaluate events and impact over a longer period if desired.

As I said in my last post a month is no time at all. I've now been back a week and had all sort of plans as to the work I would get done- but time has passed by and little has been done. That's not to say I've been sat doing nothing. One of the problems has been deciding what to write about. Decisions on essay titles made a couple of months ago- or even longer seemed irrelevant and boring now and I came back from placement with so many other ideas I wanted to explore. fortunately my tutor is around college working this week so I was able to set up a meeting with her and have now sorted out new titles and a plan of work for the enxt 6 weeks. Now I'm reorganising my reading to make sense of the new subjects.
Time and its passing has been on my mind for other reasons. A year ago I was on the Isle of Wight with my son having a few days holiday before starting to pack for the move north. The time since has seemed to fly by and yet at the same time that time on the IOW seems a life time ago. I suspect its because I've changed as the year has gone on and so it feels as if it happened to a different person. This time next year i will be a curate working in my first title parish- and at the moment I have no idea where that will be. each morning I eagerly await the postman in the hope that he will bring em the elusive letter inviting me to contact an prospective training incumbent. So far I've been disappointed. Yesterday as I walked back from locking up the village church I found my self singing a very old song- from my first days as a student- The words are
In your time Lord in your
I will wait and not be anxious at the time
And though some prayers I've prayed may seem unanswered yet
I will wait and not be anxious at the time
In your time Lord in your time
It obviously came out of my subconscious as I haven't sung it for years ( and probably have some of the words wrong anyway) but it was at the heart of my prayer yesterday. Time is passing but god will bring it all to pass in His time- not mine. A lesson you would think I had learned by now.
Yesterday was also a wonderful time of meeting up with a friend who was ordained 5 weeks ago. it was a real joy to hear him share about his experience as a curate and settling into a new life and home.
So off to make a start on the reading for my essays. I'll be back when I've made some progress :)

BELLACIAO - CHERNOBYL : Hell on Earth, the world's worst environmental disaster in 1986 - Joan - Collective Bellaciao:
He took precautions but he also kept meticulous - albeit illegal - records of his own accumulating exposure. Every year the authorities told him he was "fit for duty", and when he left Chernobyl they gave him a letter saying he had received just under the safe lifetime dose of radiation. He knew he had received more than five times that amount.
What he saw in those years, he says, appalled him: young men dying for want of the simplest information about exposure to radiation; the wide-scale falsification of medical histories by the Soviet army and the disappearance of people's records so the state would not have to compensate them; the wholesale looting of evacuated houses and abandoned churches; the haste and carelessness with which the concrete "sarcophagus" was erected over the stricken reactor; and, above all, the horror of seeing land almost twice the size of Britain contaminated, with thousands of villages made uninhabitable.
It was sometimes surreal, he says. He had people beg him to leave their homes or villages contaminated because that would guarantee them a pension; he recalls how several carriages of radioactive animal carcasses travelled for five years around the Soviet Union being rejected by every state, returning to Chernobyl to be buried - train and all. He helped fill a 4 sq mile dump with radioactive lorries, cement mixers, trains and helicopters. He knows where the Chernobyl bodies are buried, he says, because he was the grave digger. "We made up the response as we went along," he says. "It was hell."

Park City girls soccer ties rival Wasatch 1-1 in 5A region debut
Facing a region opponent early on was not ideal for Park City head coach Micaela Carriel, especially considering her girls had just moved up to 5A Region 8 after spending last season in 4A.

We had buttered shrimp (of course!), sinigang na hipon, pinaputok na tilapia, calamares, stuffed squid, baked tahong, and ensaladang mangga. Saraapppp!!!! Parang fiesta. All of us were full upon finishing all the food. And I really enjoyed the buttered shrimp! Yummy!!!
Then after eating, while we were resting and waiting for the bill, Angel Locsin arrived. The boys were really having a good time just by looking at her. And she's really pretty. One of my officemates approached her and asked if it's alright to have a picture with her (as if naman tatanggi si angel! Hehe!). So when Angel said it's ok, all of the boys, one by one had a picture with her. Didn't join them anymore coz I was full. Ok na for me to see her from where I'm sitting.
Lunch at Dampa was great… looking forward to buttered shrimps again! Hehe!

Orb has announced that, instead of charging a monthly fee for their service, as initially planned, they'll be making their service available for free. But what is their service?
You know all of that media you have on your computer at home? Thousands of MP3s, recorded TV shows, home videos, podcasts, video blogs, and all of that other stuff. It's captive on your home system, and you don't have an easy way to access it from your PDA or Smartphone while you're not home. Until now.
Orb runs on your home computer, and lets you stream all of your home media to any mobile device (cell phone, wireless laptop, etc.) with a browser and a media player.
So now you can watch that episode of The Simpsons that your Windows Media Center recorded last night from your smartphone on the train on the way to work.
Way cool. I was interested when I first heard of them, but the fee turned me off of it. I'll definitely check it out now that it's free, and report on how well I can access my media from my various wireless devices.

As he climbed through the ranks to become the Dallas Police Department's No. 2 during his 31-year career, Don Stafford also became the first African-American in many positions in the department.
These days instead of blazing trails, Stafford says he's content juggling the daily demands of his small Lancaster farm. Tending horses, growing vegetables and mending what's broken keep him moving from sun up to sun down.
He's out of the limelight, but recent honors show that Dallas' former executive police assistant chief is not forgotten.
Stafford is one of two local residents who the Urban League of Greater Dallas and North Central Texas will honor for their distinction and community service at the league's annual meeting and community report luncheon. The event is planned for 11:45 a.m. Feb. 24 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel, 2201 Stemmons Freeway.
Thirty-year pharmacist Willard Stimpson also will be honored. Former Good Morning Texas co-host Brenda Teele-Jackson will moderate.
The Dallas Police Department also recently recognized Stafford. He and three others were honored as department trailblazers in December and had conference rooms in the Jack Evans Police Headquarters named for them. The others were Lowell Cannaday, Rudolph Diaz and Eva "JayJay" Farley. Dallas Police Chief David Brown initiated the effort, calling the honorees' work "extraordinary."
Stafford joined the Dallas Police Department in 1960 and retired in 1991. He then served as bailiff for a decade with Justice of the Peace Thomas Jones and retired from that job 10 years ago.
"They mean everything to me," Stafford, 77, said of the recent honors. "And I'm still available to anybody who thinks Don Stafford can be of help."
Tickets to the Urban League's luncheon are $50. Call 214-915-4632 or visit www.ulgdnctx.com.

It is mind boggling to think about how many millions of people in the world, let alone in America, still consider whatever is said in the news to be the 'truth'. Whose 'truth'?
Last week's post Colbert Shrugged: Ayn Rand Institute Responds to 'Rand Illusion' prompted such a strong reaction from fans of both Rand and Colbert that 136 comments later, truths of all shapes emerged from the heated discussion. One topic that came up time and again was the importance of media literacy.
Part 2 of my interview with Onkar Ghate, senior fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute looks at the way Ayn Rand's classic 1957 work 'Atlas Shrugged' has been mediatized in recent months to communicate political messages.
How have the political left and right used Rand's characters, stories and philosophy in the media of late to reinforce their positions within a larger audience?
I don't think liberals or democrats are making use of Rand; rather, they are attacking her and Atlas Shrugged. (I suspect that Stephen Colbert is a liberal.)
Conservatives are making use of Atlas Shrugged, but only in a limited political sense. They rarely mention the fact that Atlas Shrugged is about a moral revolution and not a political one. One major reason they fail to mention this aspect of Atlas Shrugged is that the morality of rational self-interest stands opposed to religious ethics, which demands that an individual subordinate himself to something that is supposedly higher than himself. Explicitly or implicitly, most conservatives support a religious approach to morality. And of course religious ethics is the source of the slogan that we are our brother's keeper.
On Rand's view, therefore, conservatives are not actually opponents of socialism but its enablers, because they, like the liberals, advocate the opposite of a morality of rational self-interest: they advocate selflessness and altruism.
How much of what we're seeing in the media's recent references to Atlas Shrugged is actually reflective of Rand's philosophy of Selfishness?
It is true that Atlas Shrugged depicts an America in which the government, through various "emergency" measures, seizes control of the economy. But what most commentators miss is that politics is not the focus of Atlas Shrugged. Its focus is on morality and philosophy. The story of Atlas Shrugged is about productive individuals learning fully to value their own lives and happiness, and coming to understand that this requires uncompromising devotion to their own minds and to what is in fact morally right. They must learn that to fully live their own lives and achieve happiness, they need a new morality of rational self-interest.
As one aspect of this issue, Atlas Shrugged in effect argues that only such a morality can in fact explain, justify and defend why an individual has the moral right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Contrary to the Declaration of Independence, Rand does not regard these rights as self-evident.
Notice that the rights Jefferson lists all sanction self-interest: my moral right to my life, my moral right to my freedom to think and act, my moral right to pursue my happiness. If selfishness is evil, then these rights are wrong, morally wrong.
And so in a society that regards the pursuit of self-interest as evil, like the society depicted in Atlas Shrugged and like today's society, these rights will be tossed aside as wrong. If we are our brother's keeper, as Obama declares (echoing the conventional wisdom) -- if your moral duty is to serve your neighbor and anyone else who is in need, then you don't have the moral right to pursue your own life and happiness.
As in the case of any controversial figure, there is no substitute for going to the source. To discover what Rand maintained, read her works. To understand the meaning and importance of Atlas Shrugged, pick up the novel.
Ayn Rand's work was introduced to this author when I began my first job in journalism as an eager teen. Over a decade later, Rand's books remain constant reminders of the powerful influence media has in shaping perceptions of who we are as individuals, as a society and of the great responsibility that accompanies such influence. Where broadcast media beams a one-way signal into your living room, digital media opens up the debate to non media pundits. That's you. This is where you get a voice. What's your truth around the mediatization and politization of Ayn Rand's work and about the importance of media literacy in general?

Mediterranean Vegetable Platter
Brush the zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and onion with olive oil, and grill until you have some nice char marks, about 7-8 minutes.
Arrange vegetables, olives, artichoke hearts and cherry peppers on a serving platter. Drizzle with the dressing and top with feta cheese.
I made this for 4 people, and it was much more than we could finish, so this could serve up to 8 people.

1982 Handbook of American Brewers [Minor Correction]/
Well, here's a surprising and unexpected historical treat: a handbook of American brewers and beers from 1982. It was compiled by Susan Edmunds and Lowell Edmunds. (He's a professor of classics at Rutgers and the author of Martini: Straight Up. ) [Correction to original post: I'm assuming that the Lowell who co-compiled the handbook is the same Lowell who wrote Martini. Martini-Lowell acknowledges Susan Edmunds in one of his other published works. So presumably he's the same person; otherwise, what an odd coincidence. Not great factual evidence, but .....]
I skimmed through it and it's astonishingly complete and accurate. I "tested" that by zipping to the "n" and then "s" (it's in alphabetical order) -- and sure enough, both New Albion and Sierra Nevada are listed. I know nothing about the circumstances under which the handbook was compiled.
But, again, worth a look. Tip o' the mug to the great folks at the Daily Register of the Alcohol and Drugs History Society.

Our Story: Baked Alaska was born in the spring of 2000 and was originally the concept of Chef Christopher Holen, used in mock culinary school projects such as Menus, Business Plans etc. In June of 2000 the ideas spawned a real business plan and school externship. Baked Alaska Soup Co. began as a mobile soup kitchen of sorts, traveling throughout the state of Alaska working off of a 5x8 utility trailer, towed behind a VW camper van. A sourdough bread bowl full of hot soup could be found at nearly any musical festival that summer. We've coined the phrase "Have Soup, Will Travel."
On August 31, 2000 Chris, along with his wife Jennifer, opened Baked Alaska's doors in a permanent and stationary location in beautiful old town Astoria, Oregon. The road may have ended but the dream lives on. With Chef Chris cooking and Jennifer waiting tables, this pint-sized seven table café quickly became popular.
In the spring of 2001 Baked Alaska expanded to the location it is in today. On April 20th this full service restaurant and lounge was introduced to Astoria. We'd like to give thanks to all the folks who have helped make our dream a reality. Without them, what you experience here today may not have been possible, and what you see here in the future may not be further away than tomorrow.
We hope you have a wonderful experience, and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Chris & Jennifer Holen and Crew

March is Nutrition Month
By Renée Murphy, Registered Dietitian, Dietitian Supervisor for the Miramichi Area, Mango Program
Eating healthy is hard enough but eating healthy at work can be an even bigger challenge. That is why this year for Nutrition Month, we are looking to inspire Canadians to make healthier choices at work. The theme for 2015 is Eating 9 to 5.
Healthy eating at work has many benefits: boost concentration, improve productivity and vitality and decrease missed days of work by improving overall health. So what are we waiting for?
The reality is that it can be very difficult to eat healthy at work. Rushed mornings, no time for a lunch break, mid-day slump and end-of-day dinner struggles are just a few of the eating challenges we face. Here are some quick tips to help you overcome these challenges.
Make breakfast a habit: A healthy balanced breakfast will help you feel more alert and improve your concentration at work. No time in the morning? No problem, here are a few helpful hints:
- Prepare breakfast ahead - make barley, quinoa or oatmeal porridge and refrigerate in portions.
- Mix up some muesli with toasted oats, dates coconut and almonds to add to yogourt and fruit in the morning.
- Boil your eggs on the weekend for the following week (hard-boiled eggs can last up to one week in the refrigerator).
Snack smart: Hungry between meals? Have a snack that includes carbs to fuel your brain and protein for longer-lasting energy. Here are a few examples of healthy snack combinations:
- grapes + cheese
- veggie sticks + hummus
- sliced apples + peanut butter
- dried fruits + unsalted almonds
Enjoy lunch away from your desk: Bringing lunch from home is a great way to save you money and to have control over what you eat. Bored of the same old sandwich? Think outside the lunch box! Reinvent dinner leftovers. Let your creativity to be inspired with what is available in the kitchen. Add diced tomatoes, black beans, red onions, lime juice and hot sauce to your leftover rice to create a delicious vegetarian lunch bowl.

Chihuahuas: An Essential Guide For Potential Owners
Are you on the verge of becoming a brand new dog owner? If this is the case, you will definitely want to consider checking out Chihuahuas. This specific breed of dog is actually the smallest, but this doesn't mean that your dog will be the smallest in the world! They actually vary in size and colors. Therefore, each dog is different and each one has a unique personality! So, what makes the Chihuahua so special? Within this guide, you will be able to learn everything you need to know about this precise dog breed.
A Mysterious History
Throughout the world, each individual has a specific belief regarding the history of this particular breed of dog. Truthfully, there are many mysteries revolving around the Chihuahua, which makes the breed's origin somewhat unknown. Still, there is some scientific evidence that links the animal's origin to Mexico. The most believable theory is that these dogs descended from the companion dog, Techichi. This particular type of breed was very popular among the historical Toltec civilization of Mexico.
Over the years, researchers have been able to discover dog toys, which relate specifically to the deer head and apple head types of Chihuahuas. These have commonly been discovered across the continent of North America, with most being discovered from El Salvador to Mexico. In going back in history, the oldest toys were discovered in Veracruz, Mexico at Tres Zapotes. These specific toys are believed to date back to 100 AD! The dogs are also believed to have appeared in Tennessee and Georgia sometime around 1325 AD. It is believed that the relics were carried from Chihuahua, Mexico to the states, when the Casas Grandes Site was destroyed around 1340 AD.
Of course, this specific dog breed is still astoundingly popular and has grown even more so in the previous years! The dog was originally adopted into the American Kennel Club in 1904! From this time since, the dog breed has grown increasingly popular and has made its fair share of appearances in modern media!
A Basic Overview
Overall, the Chihuahuas are instantly recognizable. They're particularly small dogs with several different varieties. The kennel clubs recognize these as the smallest breed and they also recognize two types, including the long haired and short haired Chihuahuas. Of course, the differentials do not stop there either. In the same sense, these dogs can have two different head formations. Some are blessed with an apple head, while others have a deer shaped head. When it comes to the kennel clubs and the conformation of the breed, only the apple head varieties are recognized.
General Size
The Chihuahua will vary in size ranging from 6-9" in height and will weigh around 3-6 pounds by adulthood, but it is not uncommon to find a breed that is a tad bit larger than this size. Sometimes this size can be altered, by a mismanaged diet and inactive lifestyle.
When the Chihuahua is born it will weigh around 2.5-5.5 ounces and by the first week it will weigh 3 ¾-9.5 ounces. By the time the puppy is eight weeks old, it will weigh around 11-33 ounces, so it is slowly growing into a healthy and vibrant adult.
The Chihuahua will reach his fullest potential, by the time he/she turns eighteen months old and will weigh anywhere from 3-6 pounds. You can easily weigh your puppy, by using a food scale, because it will suit his size very well.
These sizes will also vary according to the size of the puppy's parents, so be sure to keep this in mind, when you are trying to determine how big the canine will be, as an adult. You should start your puppy out with eating a healthy diet and continue this throughout his lifespan. This will keep him active and healthy for a long time to come.
Small Size but Big Personality
The Chihuahua is known for its small size, but says nothing about its personality. These dogs are very feisty and outgoing. They are not even aware of their size, because they will outshine other breeds and that is why they are suitable for competing in competitions.
Genetics play a huge part, in how the dog's temperament will turn out, so if their parent is bold and feisty, then chances are they will be also. These canines are basically like a human, as far as genetics go, because they will carry on a temperament, whether it is good or bad through the family bloodline. Socialization can also be determined, by the family genetics, as well, so if the parents are very sociable, then the likelihood of the puppy having the same attitude is very high.
Of course, if you are willing to dedicate a lot of time and effort into altering the antisocial behavior, you will find that it is possible. It will require a lot of training and socializing, with other pets and humans.
Health and Potential Problems
In the health category, these dogs are very similar to others. They are healthy generally, but can face a number of different health problems. Some of these problems will be listed below for your convenience.
Born with a Moleras – This is actually the only dog breed, which is born with a somewhat incomplete skull. In the same sense, a lot of these dogs will be born with a soft spot in their skulls, which is often referred to as a moleras. Of course, the incomplete skull isn't actually a health defect or an abnormality.
It is a natural part of the birthing process. The soft spot is developed, when the dog passes through the birth canal and develops its domed shape forehead. Almost all Chihuahuas are born with the soft spot, so precious care and handling is required, during the first six months! During this period of time, the skull will form fully. In some cases, the soft spot will not fully close and this can lead to safety concerns.
Hypoglycemia – This specific dog breed can also be very prone to hypoglycemia, which is the medical name for low blood sugar. This can present a very dangerous problem for puppies. If the condition is ignored, it can worsen dramatically and lead to even more serious complications, such as coma and potentially even death. During the dog's early months, it is vital to combat these ailments with frequent meals! This is especially true, when the dog is smaller and leaner than others.
Also, it is a good idea to make sure that you keep a sugar supplement on hand, at all times! Honey, Karo syrup and Nutri-Cal can all be very beneficial and prevent problems. If you need to raise the blood sugar level rapidly, you can apply some of the supplement to the roof of the dog's mouth. When looking for signs of low blood sugar, you should look for sleepiness, unstable walking and neck spasms. Fainting and seizures can occur, if ignored.
Eye Injuries – When looking at this type of dog, you can instantly see that they have large protruding eyes. Although many dog lovers believe that this is cute and it is, it can also cause problems. This makes the dog very susceptible to eye injures and infection. This can cause tear staining, if you do not take the necessary actions. Wiping the eyes on a daily basis can help to prevent complications and keep the eyes clean and stain free.
Trembling and Shivering – When you notice your Chihuahua trembling and shivering, you should not panic right away. This can be a result of many different things and doesn't always mean that an illness is present. These dogs can exhibit this type of behavior, when they're cold, excited or stressed out. Short haired Chihuahuas are much more prone to coldness, so you will need to provide them with a warm blanket or access to the sun's rays. They'll also seek warmth on your lap!
Dental Care is a Must – This dog breed is highly prone to dental issues! It is absolutely vital to provide you dog with constant dental care! Make sure to brush their teeth and take them to the vet on a regular basis.
Overfeeding – Although these dogs can be picky eaters, they're also constant eaters. Once you finally manage to get them something that they like, you will have difficulty trying to get them to stop! With this in mind, these dogs are very prone to obesity. It is absolutely essential to make sure that you prevent over-feeding, at all costs. In the same sense, providing the dog with a sufficient amount of exercise is vital!
Remember that obesity can present a lot of complications and can lead to further health problems. For instance, obesity will result in an increase in the potential for joint injuries. Other obesity related complications include chronic bronchitis, tracheal collapse and even a shorter life span. With these facts, you should understand how important a healthy weight really is!
Average Life Span – When it comes down to it, each individual dog will have a different life span, which is difficult to pinpoint. By keeping the dog healthy and active, it is possible to maintain a longer lifespan. Although the average is around 12 to 20 years, it is possible for Chihuahuas to live longer.
Overall, these dogs are very similar to others and have specific health complications that are common for the breed. Be sure to do your best to curb their complications and your relationship with your dog will blossom.
Feeding Schedules
It is crucial for your furry friend that you develop a healthy and suitable feeding schedule for him. Of course, when the puppy is weaning from the mother's milk, you should let him eat, as much as he wants to. This is called free-fed, which means that he can eat, whenever he feels hungry. This will not only suffice his appetite, but give him time to adjust to this huge change.
You should provide him with a dry puppy food that contains calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron and vitamins. You can mix a little warm water into the dry puppy food kibbles, so that it will soften for easy chewing and swallowing.
Attempt to get the 4 week old puppy to feed at least 4 times a day and continue this until the he turns 6 months old. You will then decrease him down to 3 times a day and continue this feeding schedule until he is 1 year old. At this time, you will decrease him down to 2 feedings a day and continue this feeding schedule throughout his lifetime.
Always supply your puppy with an endless amount of fresh water and provide him easy access to it.
Establish a Healthy Environment
If you're intent on becoming an owner of a Chihuahua, you will want to make sure that you design and develop a healthy environment for your new friend. Remember that these dogs are very small and might not thrive in an environment with bigger dogs. Introducing them to bigger dogs should be a slow and carefully handled process. On the other hand, these dogs aren't necessarily great for outdoors. Although it is possible for them to make it outdoors in some sense, they're better suited for indoor environments.
Remember that the overall size of the animal will make them prey for bigger predators, such as birds and other dogs. At the same time, these dogs aren't afraid of anything and will bark at everything they come across. This can cause complications, if you have nearby neighbors. Due to the dog's size, a lot of protective fencing is ineffective. If there is a way, the Chihuahua will find his or her way out of the fence! If you're going to try and keep them in an enclosed space outdoors, it is vital to ensure that it is completely enclosed! If there is an escape route, he or she will find it and you will wind up very lonely. Low fencing should be avoided, because the dog will jump it!
Overall, these dogs are best for indoors.
The Mexican Jumping Bean
When it comes to the behavior of these animals, they've very similar to Mexican jumping beans! These dogs will jump, whenever they get the chance. They see no fear and will jump from high heights. In fact, if you're not careful, your dog will jump right out of your arms! If they start getting anxious in your arms, you will want to make sure to put them down immediately or grab on tight, because they could leap for it, without notice.
If you're going to allow the dog to sit on your bed or couch, it is essential to take further precautions. These dogs have been known to leap from these types of furniture, as well! Remember that a fall can potentially cause them to break their leg! Those that intend for their dogs to lay with them on the couch will want to consider purchasing a set of stairs! This will give the dog an alternative path, instead of flopping to the floor.
Where to Find a Chihuahua
If you're interested in getting your hands on one of these adorable little mutts, you will want to make sure that you check out the right dealers and locations! Remember that there are many cruel puppy mills that are only interested in their money and nothing else! These dealers are dangerous and put their animals through harsh treatment, in order to keep the money flowing in. Instead, you will want to make sure to check with the AKC or ACA. Be sure that the dealer you choose is certified and registers their puppies.
On the other hand, you shouldn't be afraid to check with one of your local adoption agencies. Sometimes, it is best to select an older dog, which has already matured. By checking out your local animal shelter, you will be able to find dogs of all ages. This can help you find the exact dog that you want, while also helping out! This can provide you with more of a rewarding experience, while also allowing you to bring home a little bundle of joy.
Puppy Accessories
Your Chihuahua is most likely going to be an indoor pet, so he will require several accessories to make his life healthier and happier. A puppy bed will be the first thing that you will need to purchase, along with his food and water bowl. The bed does not need to be very large, because he will not get much larger than 6 pounds.
A smaller bed will be more suitable, because it will provide him with comfort and just enough room, so that he feels safe, when he is laying in it. You want him to sleep in his bed, so try to suffice his needs, as much as possible. They will always need a warm and clean place to sleep. Provide him with a small cushioned blanket, because they love to burrow underneath things. Do not sleep with your Chihuahua, because they are so tiny that they risk being crushed, by the human.
A harness will be the next accessory on your list. A harness will be more suitable for the Chihuahua, because of his hyperactive temperament. You definitely do not want him to jerk on the leash and injure his neck, so a soft fabric harness will be your best option to prevent this from happening.
The leash should be extremely lightweight, since the canine's size is very small. This leash will not hinder your dog's activity, since it only weighs around 3-6 ounces. If you plan on taking your Chihuahua everywhere you go, you will need a travel crate. Remember this is a very sociable breed, so he will be very active and want to be introduced to everyone he meets. This will offer your furry friend a safe quarters to stay, so that he does not get stepped on or pest others. Make sure that it is large enough for him to move around, because he still may want to be a little active.
Doggie Sweater
Since the Chihuahua is very apt to be cold all the time, you will need to purchase him a doggie sweater. This sweater will be extra small and should be constructed out of soft knitted fabric.
Make sure that you select the perfect size, because you do not want the puppy to have access to the fabric, since he may very well chew on it. Be sure to grab a lint roller, when you are in the puppy store, because your Chihuahua does have the tendency to shed. Choose the stickiest roller that you can find, since the hair will hang onto your clothing, due to static cling.
Housetraining Techniques
Since your Chihuahua is so tiny, you will need to purchase puppy pads for the housetraining task. Of course, this will take every bit of patience that you can sum up, in order to have a successfully trained puppy.
The first step of the housetraining process is to monitor your puppy's feeding schedule and as soon as he completes his feeding, you should rush him to his pad. Then follow up in 30 minutes, until he finally eliminates on the puppy pad. You will have to be diligent throughout this process, in order to pull this off, because if you are not, your puppy will not have the opportunity to learn properly.
Always place the pads in the same area, so they will become familiar with the spot. If you do take him outside, be sure to take him to the same spot every single time. You should take him out during the nighttime hours, as well, because he will not be able to hold his bladder for more than an hour. The older he grows, the longer he will be able to hold his bladder and bowels, so you will not need to take him out after dark once he becomes an adult.
At the end of the day, Chihuahuas can be an exciting dog to own and will provide you with unconditional love and enjoyment. As long as give them proper care, love and attention, your dog will be very loyal to you! Since they're one of the smallest dog breeds, they can be very suitable for various individuals and environments. Overall, anyone that is looking for a dog should definitely consider inviting one of these dogs into their home!

Time really does fly when you're having fun. We can't believe its already been two months since we waved goodbye to Sweden and all its comforts. Staying busy and not having a Monday-Friday, 9-5 sort of lifestyle does mix things up and the weeks and days seem a lot shorter right now compared to "our old life". As cheesy as it may sound, this is our life now. There has of course been ups and downs, more so than in the hustle and bustle of our old 9-5 life maybe, but we have also gotten further planning our time ahead in these two months then we had before leaving.
We are perhaps slightly wiser, definitely a bit older and possibly a bit more tanned than on the 3rd of February as we were saying our goodbyes to Ebba's parents at the airport. So what have been our highlights, the biggest issues and what are we doing from now on?
The highlights
Lets start with the good. Living on the road, traveling and doing something different definitely comes with some advantages. One of many positive aspects of this lifestyle is seeing the sunset and sunrise almost every day. Living close to lake Mälaren in Sweden we saw some pretty spectacular sunsets close to home too, but the luxury of deciding your own schedule gives a bit more room to catch the sunrise every night if you wish to. We have also been spoilt spending a lot of time of the Pacific coast where the sunsets are amazing (almost) every day of the week.
Another positive is spending so much time outside. We spend a lot of time walking, swimming and even eating outside. Our lungs are thanking us everyday for breathing in the fresh stuff instead of being stuck inside a stuffy, dusty room.
Not only are we spending time watching sunsets and being outside, but we're also spending a lot more time together than we did whilst living in Sweden. We are the sort of couple that enjoys having mutual friends and that don't mind sharing interests and spending a lot of time together. But, this is something different. Spending 24/7 together is special and something we think all couples should try! If you don't kill each other after a few months on the road, you're most definitely a good match in our opinion ?
Not to be forgotten is the experience of visiting new places, getting to know new cultures and meeting new people. This is the main reason why we've chosen to travel and although its been said before: stepping out of your bubble and comfort zone is so rewarding. We might be a cliché, but honestly experiencing new things every day is making us both feel very alive!
We have a lot of new favourite places, there honestly haven't been any places that we have disliked. Some of our top experiences, however, have been spending time in Flores, visiting Tikal, climbing Mt. Acatenango, walking around in the cloud forests in Santa Elena and Monteverde and visiting the Whale's Tail in Uvita (the posts on Monteverde and Uvita are coming soon, we promise!).
The struggles
We have been lucky in a lot of aspects so far. The few issues we've encountered have been minor ones, but we can definitely learn from them. Despite the reputation of Guatemala, we only experienced one incident that could qualify for this category and it was a minor one. We basically paid for a more expensive bus ticket from a travel agent, but were given a cheaper one. Not a big issue in the end as we made the bus after a bit of a discussion with the staff.
In Costa Rica, we stayed in a hostel that felt a bit dodgy and unsafe where visitors (non guests) could come and go as they pleased and the volunteering staff did drugs at the premises in front of all guests. No big problems here either, just didn't feel like the safest place to keep our belongings and head for a good night's sleep..
Other than these two incidents we've mainly had two issues: Ebba's health and finding time, space and tools to commit to our pre-season training. We're not sure if its been food related, bad water or some bacteria but Ebba's stomach hasn't been the most reliable part of our posse, to say the least.. Resting, cooking our own food and drinking bottled water has drastically improved her immune system though. In between stomach problems, switching locations quite often and not having much space in our bags for extra equipment – exercising and keeping to a fitness routine has been tricky. We've made it work most weeks, but we could definitely have done better. Thankfully we've got a few more months until the ski season starts so we've got some space and time for improvements.
Our future plans
Right now, we are spending a few days in San José, Costa Rica's capital. As we have already announced we will be going to New Zealand for a Working Holiday, arriving at the end of April. But before then we will be spending three weeks in Australia, mainly in and around Sydney, seeing some sights, passing time at the beach and spending some quality time with friends.
In New Zealand, we will purchase a van to travel around in. We've got one "reserved" (her name is Rosie!) that we hopefully will be able to buy during the first few days in the country. After that we're hoping to catch our friends Emma and Gareth in Rotorua before heading to National Park Village, where we will be based for a few months. National Park is where we met, a small village right next to Tongariro National Park. Have google if you'd like and feel free to come for a visit if you can! We will be based here until October.
After October, the plan is to travel around in our van exploring both the North and South Islands.
We are also planning on keeping up the blog and will try to update more often than we have done so far. So, please comment below or let us know the following: What do you like to read about? What can we improve? Please let us know! ❤
