How to Train an Abused Dog
by @ How to of the Day
Tue Mar 27 01:00:00 PDT 2018
Dogs who’ve suffered abuse may be withdrawn, depressed, inactive, and distrustful. While not all fearful and shy dogs have been abused, abuse can make the dog hesitant and nervous around humans. While it takes time to help a pup overcome its past, abused dogs can become loving pets if the right person comes into their life. If you’ve rescued an abused dog, then you’ll likely want to train it. Before you can train your dog, you need to take care of the dog’s health and safety so that it can learn to trust you. Then you will be able to housebreak your dog, teach it basic commands, and help it overcome its past.

Hi! I'm a little freaked out!I had my baby Nov 28th, after going into labour at work. I was supposed to have the rest of the week off for vacation. However, because I had my baby, they said I started maternity leave and did not give me vacation money.I submitted everything on the 11th (work submitted ROE just this week) and realized today it can take up to 28 days to receive first cheque. I'm bummed out because that means I'm short on funds until then. I thought the week waitin period was how long it takes between submitting a claim, and receiving money. (Im kicking myself for reading this wrong!)i was just wonderng other mothers time frames between submitting a claim, and recivieing money, in hopes some are waiting less than 28 days!

How to Transfer an Image Onto Glass
by @ How to of the Day
Tue Mar 20 17:00:00 PDT 2018
Putting an image onto a glass object—such as a glass, mason jar, mirror, or window—is a way to personalize and decorate your living space. You can transfer any type of image that has been printed from a laser printer, or that you find in a book or magazine. To transfer an image onto glass, fix adhesive packing tape to the image you’d like to transfer. Soak the image and tape in warm water, then remove the paper and stick the image onto a glass object. Alternately, you can use a gel transfer medium to move the image directly on to a glass surface.
