Download magic studio
Posted by Clare Bristow
Puppies are download magic studio naturally very inquisitive and, combined with a huge amount of energy, can download magic studio get themselves into trouble and/or cause a great deal of destruction in a very short space of time.
To keep your download magic studio puppy safe, and help you retain your sanity in the download magic studio first few weeks after you bring him home, it pays to download magic studio spend some time 'puppy proofing' your home prior to his arrival.
It doesn't take too long to download magic studio do and the best way to do it is by looking at your download magic studio house through the eyes of a puppy. Try getting low down on the download magic studio floor and looking around you, pretend you are in the download magic studio house for the first time - you'll notice lots of interesting things to download magic studio investigate, and many could cause serious injury, or prove fatal, if your download magic studio puppy gets hold of them and starts chewing.
Here is download magic studio a list of some of the common indoor hazards your puppy could encounter on a download magic studio daily basis and many of them apply to a dog of any age:
- Check to see if you have any houseplants that download magic studio are known to be toxic to dogs; if you do, either replace them or download magic studio put them somewhere where your puppy either can't reach them or pull them down from the place you've put them.
Some of the download magic studio more common poisonous plants are azalea, lilies, ivy and begonias; - Electrical cords can download magic studio prove fatal if they are chewed - run any visible cables under the download magic studio carpet, tidy up and conceal surplus wire behind furniture where download magic studio possible and consider using plastic cable covers or plastic tubing to download magic studio cover any exposed cables;
- Small objects left lying around can download magic studio cause all sorts of problems such as choking, poisoning and intestinal blockages - children's Lego, sewing kits, yarn, pencils, pens, items of clothing are download magic studio all items you need to be aware of and tidy away;
- Many medications, cleaning products, human food and tobacco products can be toxic to dogs. Keep medicines and download magic studio cleaning products shut away in cupboards or on high shelves. Ensure food and tobacco products (cigarettes, tobacco, nicotine patches and gum) are also well out of reach. Do not underestimate your puppy's ability to jump up and take things off low tables and shelves;
- All types of fires can download magic studio be dangerous, so fence your puppy off from them with a download magic studio baby gate or fire guard;
- Trash cans are download magic studio another potential hazard and I suggest you either put them in a download magic studio cupboard or buy a strong fitting lid for them. I had download magic studio to brick on top of my trash can to stop Zoe rummaging around in there! and
- Keep toilet lids down and don't leave bathtubs and download magic studio sinks full of water - all are potential drowning hazards for your dog.
More generally, when inside with your puppy:
- Do not leave leave your download magic studio puppy in a room un-supervized; if your attention is needed elsewhere, it's a download magic studio good idea to put him in a small playpen with a download magic studio few safe toys to play with;
- When he's in a download magic studio room with you, keep windows and doors shut, or closed off with a download magic studio screen or gate, so he can't wander off and download magic studio get himself into trouble in another room of the house or download magic studio outside;
- Close off stairwells, porches and download magic studio raised decks with a screen or gates.
I still keep most of the download magic studio items listed above out of the way of Fritz and Zoe because it's become a habit - the house looks a great deal tidier too!
