Our guidelines will help pet owners identify common ailments, but you should medically treat your pet only under your vet&apos;s supervision.
Warning signs: Some symptoms of aging can indicate a more serious health problem. Seek immediate medical attention for:
Slowing sign: Lethargy, difficulty rising, and a stiff gait. Severe pain can make an animal sedentary.
How to help: Your animal needs supervised, restricted exercise, so take your dog for short, slow walks around the block. Boost bone health by giving a supplement with glucosamine, like Joint Solution (jefferspet.com; $6). Your doctor may also recommend anti-inflammatory drugs.
Slowing sign: As in humans, vision degenerates with age. Look for cloudy eyes, lack of response to toys or other stimuli, or bumping into furniture.
How to help: Keep food bowls in the same place so your pet can find them, and don't move the furniture around.
Slowing sign: Decreased appetite and weight loss. Alternatively, some animals will gain weight because low energy levels lead to a decrease in exercise.
How to help: Monitor food intake to make sure your pet eats twice a day. Your vet can screen organs to ensure normal function, then prescribe an appropriate diet. If your animal isn't absorbing nutrients very well — he can't gain weight — try a liquid meal supplement like CatSure or DogSure (petsmart.com; $8).
How to help: Increase the number of times you take your dog out, and keep your cat's litter box in the same place, so he knows how to get to it fast. Make sure to provide a constant supply of fresh water. Your vet will probably prescribe a special diet for bladder stones or antibiotics for cystitis.
Slowing sign: Inadequate dental care can lead to bacteria and plaque buildup and, eventually, to teeth falling out. One sign: Bloody gums after your pet chews on a toy.
How to help: Get her teeth cleaned twice a year. Give her dry, crunchy foods and safety-knot bones to encourage slow chewing and prevent plaque buildup.
Do you remember the first days of your relationship with your spouse? If you were like me, your heart would flutter at a meaningful glance, flirtatious comment, or in my case, the handsomest guy I had ever met knocking on my door holding Belgian chocolate chip ice cream and asking if he could pray with me! After years of marriage, kids, demanding jobs, and hectic schedules, those fluttery feelings are distant memories. That doesn’t mean we can’t be romantic, it just means in our distraction we put it down and we need to pick it up where we left off.
One night as my husband, Mark, and I were driving home, I was feeling a little romantic. He was driving which gave me total music control, so I decided to play him a Tony Bennett song that we love. So crazy how one little switch on a playlist can change a boring car ride into a fun (or funny if you could see us singing) and romantic sing along serenade.
I’ve come to realize that one of the best parts of being married is always having someone to flirt with because at the end of the day, flirting is simply turning the ordinary moments into extraordinary moments. Unfortunately, we can forget that in the middle of our busy, distracted lives.
So here are 10 ways to flirt with your husband to make the ordinary moments in your life together extraordinary:
