Avoid this Top 5 While At Home (Covid19)

How are you staying at home while we are in lockdown? Are you working home or not working because of Covid19? First month, second or third is probably fine for you, just like on vacation, but we are almost 5 months now at home. Hang in there and read this tips, on what to avoid while you are staying home.

1. Overthinking, Oh dear I know I know, bills? food? nothing’s happening in your life? feeling stuck? Don’t worry to much, you are not alone, everyone right now are feeling the same way you do. But if you stop overthinking, anxiety, stress and depression will never be your friend while staying at home. Oh maybe you are thinking about your boyfriend or girlfriend not being together? There’s internet dear and this is the great time for you to spend your alone time at home or enjoy being with your family and your adorable pets. Appreciate every little things that’s happening in your life even Covid19 is out there. Stop thinking something that’s impossible to do right now, better to start organizing your closet, make-up, or find a new hobby that doesn’t require going out.

2. Sleep, Eat, Repeat, you called this a good pattern? Nah! We totally disagree, don’t let your body suffer while at home. Move your lazy ass and do some workout once in a while, we mean physical workout like jumping jacks and squat, you will not regret it, I swear. Plus you are browsing a lot of memes that saying whoever doing that pattern is lucky, don’t believe those little devil memes. You don’t have to be sexy whatever body type needs exercise for a good blood flow.

3. Social Media Addiction, I’m not saying to quit social media because I don’t agree with it either. But don’t evolve your life on just browsing that newsfeed, trying that Tiktok moves, and get upset to yourself because you can’t do it, and please stop feeling bad because that girl/boy on Instagram is so perfect on his/her photo. Stop pulling yourself down, because someone looks better than you. Social media has two sides the good and bad, don’t get stuck on the bad sides. The bad sides that ruins relationship because of so many expectations memes and photos, let me tell you this, everyone is not the same on how they express themselves, If you force your partner to be someone because on what social media saying, about being an ideal partner, you better stop. Partner is not what you are looking for, social media approval is what you are seeking. The ideal body on internet that you are trying so hard to get, because you think you are not sexy enough, you better try hard to be healthy. The side that makes your insecurities explode, then you will become someone else’s basher, because you cannot have what they had.

4. Not eating Healthy, I’m literally guilty about it but I changed, you can too. This is a great opportunity for you to add healthy foods on your diet, veggies and fruit will not hurt you while on lockdown, you can finally cook for yourself because you are not going anywhere. Yehey! No excuses right? Learn new recipes, youtube and a lot of sites with good recipes they got you. Unleash your inner Gordon Ramsey, and please, avoid artificial seasoning.

5. Bored, and thinking of getting a new pet, Guilty? Some people are thinking of getting a new pet just because they are bored, they either spend their money to get one or get from a friend who has new litter of puppies and kittens. Let me remind you that pet is your responsibility until their last breath. Having a pet means you have to give what your pet needs, food, cuddles, patience and your time. A lot of dogs and cats are being abandoned, because they can’t control their pets behavior (lack of knowledge), they can’t provide it needs, or because they just think they don’t want them anymore. So please if you are getting one, think about it, like you are having a child. Are you willing to abandon your child? If you are reading this and you think, Why would I compare my child to an animal? Please don’t get a pet PERIOD.

I had a lot to say but this Top 5 is enough to summarize half of it. I hope you guys are doing well at home. We will get through this. Stay safe everyone. You? What do you think people needs to avoid while at home?

Why you need to Spay/Neuter your pets?

It is so devastating that abandoning dogs/cats to the street is seems normal in the Philippines. Why abandoned your pets who loves you more than itself?

Is it because they cry at night? They pee on the wrong spot? They bite your favorite fair of slippers? They became more aggresive? Or because they were sick?

People actually tend to abandoned their pets just because of that. But what if the dogs wondering around are not actually abandoned? Well here in the Philippines Under RA9482: The Anti Rabies Act, Owned dogs out in public that are not under the control and supervision of their owner (i.e, owned dog allowed to roam the streets without a leash and without owner, owned dog is just outside owner’s gate but with no leash accidentally ran out) are immediately considered strays and are to be captured dor the public’s safety. Animal control officers and dog catcher do not need to ask permission from the owner to catch and impound this dogs. Dogs that have been captured by Animal Control officers are placed in the pound where they are kept for a fixed holding period. Upon the expiry of this holding period, if no one claims ownership of the captured dogs, or no one adopts them, they are euthanized (legal under approved methods of euthanasia stated in Administrative Order 13 Revised Rules on Euthanasia for Animals).The most humane way to euthanize an animal is through barbiturates.

Yes people, this is what happened when you want a dog but you are irresponsible owner. As we can see this is legal but, it is very alarming also because the Animal Officers who captured dogs or cats supposed to have knowledge on how to catch/handle them, lots of videos are uploaded on social media. Dogs and cats are captured but being harrassed. Why everytime we watched a video from other country on catching stray dogs/cats they really know what to do, they know how to get them without traumatizing them. We hope that this can be solved, don’t traumatize them, dont forget the Animal Welfare Act Section 6.

Why we want you to spay/neuter your pets? Spaying your female pet will live a longer, healthier life. Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. And behavioral benefits Your spayed female pet won’t go into heat. While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. In an effort to advertise for mates, they’ll yowl and urinate more frequently—sometimes all over the house! Your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home. An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways escape from the house. Once he’s free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other male animals. Your neutered male may be better behaved. Unneutered dogs and cats are more likely to mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. Your dog might be less likely to mount other dogs, people and inanimate objects after he’s neutered. Some aggression problems may be avoided by early neutering.
