First off, as it looks like we\u2019re all going to be stuck at home for a while longer yet we will start with one that might help your whole mental state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meditation with a dog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The lovely people at SpareRoom who deal with flatmates and house shares, are aware that not everyone can have a pet. Sometimes that\u2019s because the humans are renting but it can also be with through work or health it simply can\u2019t happen. They wanted to help people without a pet be able to spend some quiet time with a dog. They have put together a lovely calming meditation video featuring dogs. If you need to relax for a few minutes then it is a great way to do it. We\u2019ve included the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Care of the Dog\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yf7QtSTrXB0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding your best friend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogsforgood.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dogs for Good <\/a>who train assistance and community dogs also set out to help other dog owners.

He was in a really funny mood yesterday. He was so unsettled. He kept standing in front of her and barking for no apparent reason. I must admit she rather ran out of patience with him. He didn\u2019t want anything. He was just in one of those moods. Mum even shared her turkey sandwich with him at lunchtime and he still wasn\u2019t happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Help for everyone.
