Got an email today about this adorable book, and the story behind it!
Studio 904 salon owner Kay Hirai came to a profound realization–her Jack Russell Terrier, Yumi, was the four legged embodiment of all she had incorporated into her successful business during the last 20 years. That realization led to Hirai to author Yumi’s Life Lessons, a book detailing the six principles Kay observed and learned from Yumi during her life.
Hirai also believes every person and animal fortunate enough to have a good life should become a part of her network in giving back. Hirai relates, “I used to always tell Yumi how lucky she was to be owned by me and would often wonder what Yumi could do to affect a change for the better for other animals who are not as fortunate.”
So you’ve got a new dog and you’re wondering what to feed him. The market is full of commercial diets, and you’ve heard that some people feed their dogs raw meat. What should you do?
Dogs are omnivores which means they require meat, fiber, and other nutrients to stay healthy. Generally, adult dogs need a diet that consists of 22-25% protein and 15-19% fat, although puppies, pregnant dogs, and active dogs will have different nutritional requirements.
Pomeranians are energetic and sharp dogs that are taught with no trouble, but like many small dogs housebreaking a Pomeranian can be a bit of a test. The solution to effectively potty training your Pomeranian is to begin early on and keep up a planned and prepared training timetable.
One fact you have in your support is this “Pomeranians are very hygienic by character”. They dislike dirtying the place where they sleep and eat. What’s more, dogs automatically build up behavior about where they do their job. A few dogs like to go on grass, while other dogs on gravel. Determining out what your dogs likes better and using that to your benefit can assist in your house training duty.
