Even then, they give ample warning that should be heeded — stamping front feet, a raised tail, hissing, short forward charges and twisting their hind end around in your direction. Spotted skunks will even contort into a characteristic handstand, rump in the air with eyes still fixed on the threat.Move away slowly and quietly. By nature, Barbie tends to ignore these warnings, so it is important she be restrained for her own good. Tolerance Because of the lingering odor, and fear of being sprayed it may be hard for some people to tolerate skunks living under a deck or old shed. But skunks need shelter when they are most vulnerable (during the coldest parts of the winter and when raising young).

Sometimes people can have fights, but friendship is a valuable gift. Sometimes, good friends are hard to find. Acquiring friends requires making yourself seem attractive to new people, initiating conversations, and being mindful of the needs of others.

Being a loyal friend will attract other people to you who value that quality. • Part of being a friend is being prepared to make sacrifices of your time and energy in orde...

Preparing Your Dog for 4th of July Fireworks Ask any dog owner and they’ll probably tell you the 4th of July is the scariest holiday for their dog because of the fireworks. We’ve known some dogs to hide in the closet, hide under the bed, cower in the car, or sit on their owner’s lap shaking. If you want to help your dog have the easiest 4th of July ever, there are a couple of things you can do to help your dog be less afraid of the unpredictable scary sounds of fireworks, firecrackers, whistles, and even guns.

   Dog Grooming is Not Only For Appearance     Grooming is an important part of Barbie’s health, with regular brushing and combing helping to remove dead hair and dirt and prevent matting. Barbie who is regularly groomed tends to have a healthier and shinier coat because it stimulates the blood supply to the skin. Grooming Barbie can also be a good way to bond with her, and it's important to get her used to it from an early age. Many dogs learn to see their routine brushing as an alternate petting, another source of affection and attention. A good quality brush and comb will help you with your dog's coat, but also remember that your dog's eyes, ears, and nails require attention as well. Grooming is more than just a hair cut. It may include bathing, combing, brushing, clipping nails, cutting or shaving mats, cleaning ears and controlling external parasites. Grooming Barbie accomplishes much more than just making her coat look good, she has a personali...
