Keeping Small Animals Safe in the Cold
Earlier this year, I wrote an article about keeping small animals safe in hot weather. With the winter months now upon us, I figured it was as good of a time as any for a counter-article on what to do when things get chilly. As an avid guinea pig lover myself, I’ve always considered it extremely important that the owners of piggies and other pocket pets understand what to do to ensure their comfort in extreme weather. After all, many of us go to great lengths to keep our cats and dogs safe with weather changes – we can’t forget about the little guys too! So if you or someone you know is a fan of all things small and furry, keep reading for some tips on keeping guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters nice and cozy in the cold.

4 Simple Grounding Exercises You Can Do Anytime
Grounding is the process of managing anxiety by focusing on physical occurrences. The theory behind grounding is that by bringing your attention to things that are actually happening, you should be able to tune out negative or worrisome thoughts. One of the most common forms of this is meditation, a practice which involves being in a quiet place – often alone – and calming the mind by focusing on breathing or other physical sensations. This may seem like an impossible feat if you are in a situation where you’re feeling overwhelmed in a place that is public or noisy. However, there are several grounding exercises that can be done anywhere, anytime you feel the need to take a break and clear your head.
How to Combat Dry Skin this Fall with These 4 Tips
Ever so slowly, the fall season is creeping into the remaining weeks of summer. Pumpkin-spice-everything is on the horizon, school supplies are on sale, and the sun is setting earlier. While an exciting time of year, this may be the time of year your skin is at its driest. So, if you want to grab a bottle of lotion every time the heater turns on, you are not alone. However, you don't need to keep a Costco-sized tub of Lubriderm or Vaseline nearby for every time you to moisturize. There are other ways to combat dry skin this winter season that maybe you haven't even thought of yet.
