The man has taste

No need pretending. The 2 men don't love each other. No need to honour the invitation

Hello petlanders , I've a 4 month old gsd who has refused to eat anything except Arion puppy food . Unfortunately I don't know where to get as the sample gotten from the breeder has been exhausted.
I'm in Anambra. If anyone has a link to where I can buy 1, ill appreciate.
Thank you

The Beorbel looks healthier than the cane corso and better fed too. The canecorso looks underfed, neglegted and depressed too. P.S. Canecorsos look better with their ear cropped, that is their trademark.

No matter how underfed you think he looks , it can't hide his real traits ...The dog looks good

YOUR DOG AND YOUR CHILD

Adetoyi Eunice: Canine Education

Having a dog in the family can really help to give young children a sense of responsibility early on in life. Children raised with pets have been shown to be more sociable as adults, both with people and animals. They also tend to have better communication skills, and are much less likely to develop allergies towards pet fur. Even so, children can often be over enthusiastic (to say the least) in developing a relationship with a pet, so a little education and adult supervision are required, especially at a young age.

New babies

When it comes to newborn babies, the way individual dogs will respond will depend upon their genetics, personality and experience.
To keep any disruptions to a minimum, make sure your dog's bed, feeding and water dishes, toys, litter tray etc. remain in a private position away from busy areas. If necessary, they can be re-sited (if the 'dog's room' has been turned into a nursery, for example).

Once the baby becomes a toddler, your dog will want to eat, rest and sleep in a safe area that can be sealed off with a baby gate. An indoor kennel or crate makes an ideal den for a dog, installed plenty of time before the arrival of the baby to allow your pet to get used to it. Knowing that the dog is in the den will help you to relax, knowing your child is safe to wander around, as well as providing a safe haven for the dog.

The arrival of a baby can affect the normal scent profile of your dog's territory, leading to a possible upheaval in moods. Some sulk, some get agitated and some try to get more attention from older members of the family.
Tasty treats and offering more attention are both useful tactics to help associate the baby's presence with good things! Dogs shouldn't be petted or comforted when worried by the arrival of a new baby, as this only reinforces their anxiety. Instead, wait for them to relax or start to play and then cuddle them in another room. But many dogs naturally take on a nanny role with a new baby, becoming useful protectors and playmates for a growing child. Try to avoid the high chair becoming a source of food, with your dog waiting nearby for dropped morsels!

Older kids

Most dogs love having babies around, because it means more visitors and more attention for them as well! But the time children start to become independently mobile is when the novelty will start wearing off for. A crawling or toddling child can take a dog by surprise and his or her squeals and shrieks can be frightening.
Providing places of retreat for the dog is even more important at this stage. Dogs don't like being chased around by owners or anyone else trying to be nice to them; the sudden uncoordinated or persistent chase of toddlers can be very disturbing. Parents should always supervise interactions between their children and dogs until they are sure that the children are old enough and wise enough to approach calmly, handle gently and read the signs to gauge if attention is welcome - and when it isn't. Young children should never be allowed to try and pick a dog up until they are strong enough to hold the pet properly.
But playing 'hands-free' by throwing balls and toys for the dog to chase, sitting quietly near a dog or perhaps stroking and grooming if the dog enjoys it, are all good ways for children to get to know about dogs and respect for the different moods and needs of another creature. Again, making the experience pleasurable for the dog and child alike by reinforcement, with praise or a treat for the dog, and praise for the child, can slowly help build the right type of interaction and relationship.
When older, children should also be taught how to help train the dog, and share responsibility for walking and exercising him when the time is right.

A few tips

-Teach young children not to chase the dog.
-Teach them how to stroke your pet gently, and train the dog to respond to the child's instructions in return for rewards.
-Teach children where best to stroke the dog - the top of the head and along the back.
-Tails should never be pulled.
-The dog should always

Nice

Ghana launched a fleet of drones Wednesday to carry medical supplies to remote areas, with President Nana Akufo-Addo declaring it would become the "world's largest drone delivery service."

The craft are part of an ambitious plan to leapfrog problems of medical access in a country with poor roads.

"No one in Ghana should die because they can't access the medicine they need in an emergency," Akufo-Addo said in a statement to mark the launch.

"That's why Ghana is launching the world's largest drone delivery service," Akufo-Addo said. "It represents a major step towards giving everyone in this country universal access to lifesaving medicine."

The drones have been flying test runs with blood and vaccines, but the project was officially inaugurated Wednesday at the main drone base in Omenako, 70 kilometres (40 miles) north of Accra.

Omenako is the first of four distribution centres which, when fully operational, will each have 30 drones serving 500 clinics within an 80-kilometre (50-mile) radius.

Operator Zipline, a US-based company, said the three other sites should be up and running by the end of 2019.

The drones are planned to ferry 150 different medicines, blood, and vaccines to more than 2,000 clinics serving over 12 million people—roughly 40 percent of the population.

Bumpy roads

Zipline first began delivering blood and medicine in East Africa in 2016, deploying drones in Rwanda, a country dubbed the "land of a thousand hills" where access to many villages by road is difficult.

Now the company is expanding on the other side of the continent.

"Millions of people across the world—in both developed and developing countries—die each year because they can't get the medicine they need when they need it," said Zipline boss Keller Rinaudo.

For Ghana, a country of nearly 30 million people scattered across a land area about the size of former colonial ruler Britain, poor roads and a lack of ambulances are major challenges to health care access.

Drones, not dependent on bumpy roads that can take hours to navigate, offer a way to get medical supplies to clinics before a patient bleeds to death, for example.

"We are a developing country," said Douglas Adu-Fokuo, a spokesman for the Ghana Health Service, noting that almost a third of maternal deaths are due to blood loss—easily preventable with a transfusion provided supplies are available.

"We can't achieve everything in one go," he added. "We have to start somewhere."

Parachute drops

The four-year contract to Zipline has a hefty price tag of $12.5 million (11 million euros).

But the company says the cost is "on par with the current cost of delivery, which is usually a car, truck or motorcycle", yet faster and more reliable.

Medics can order blood or medicine by sending a message by mobile phone.

Each battery-powered flying machine has a delivery distance of 80 kilometres (50 miles), speeding at 100 kilometres (62 miles) an hour and carry up to 1.7 kilogrammes (3.7 pounds).

Each drop can bring three units of blood, with deliveries made by parachute.

The drones are stoked at their depot to ensure that vaccines and supplies are kept cold, cutting the need for expensive cold-chain storage systems in remote areas.

Once the programme is up and running, plasma deliveries can be made for the first time to Ghana's most remote northern areas. The journey by road was too long, and the expiry date of plasma too short, to make this possible until now.
