Being a housewife, my routine is relatively similar every day.  I wake up with my three month old baby around 8 a.m. and she drinks a bottle.  She then goes on her mat to play while I take care of my menagerie of animals and eat my own breakfast.  We then play and watch television for couple hours until she goes down for her first nap.  While she is sleeping my schedule varies a little.  I usually clean the kitchen and then sometimes clean the house, do the laundry, iron my husband work shirts, or just have a little quiet time.  After her nap, she gets another bottle and takes another nap usually before my husband gets home.  In the evening, we eat dinner and then take the baby and the dog for a walk around our neighborhood.  We usually go to bed around ten or eleven.

Dogs are one of the most popular pets for children and adults alike. They provide companionship as well as helping keep you fit. If you live in a city, when walking your dog it is important to keep it under control and for this you will generally use a leash and a dog collar. Dog collars for small dogs come in many different styles, so that most people should be able to find something that suits them and is also comfortable and safe for the dog. The most usual example is a leather strap with a metal buckle. These are placed around the dog’s neck and should not be fastened too tight. On the collar a metal disc can also be placed with information about the dog, such that if it gets lost it can be returned. If you plan to train your dog there are also various training collars which can assist. These can include slip collars which are usually a length of chain and also pinch collar which is a chain which pinches the loose skin around a dog’s neck when pulled. Both these collars can be effective in teaching the dog to come to heel.

Dogs have been around on the planet for thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years and are all obviously descended originally from wild animals. During all this time they have managed quite well with the hair they were given and I find it odd that people now want to dress them in large or small dog jackets. In some ways I can understand it in a few situations, where people live in an extremely cold country for example or for hairless dogs, but for the majority of cases I don’t really see the point. For most people it would appear to be a fashion statement, but why can’t they do this with their own fashion rather than including the dog. Dogs have hair to keep them warm and in most cases this is more than adequate and a jacket is not really required. I also think it looks a bit odd and that most dogs look pretty cool as they are and don’t really need a jacket to enhance that.

I do not get a lot of free time with a new three month old baby in the house.  However, if I do get some time to myself, I love to just sit and watch a movie with my husband.  We love to go to the closest Redbox and pick up some Chinese food to bring back home.  Neither my husband nor I really enjoy going out to the club or bar scene and we do not have the money to go out to eat at nice restaurants so this is the next best thing to a romantic date night.
