Be Merry

Christmas is Here!

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it. :) Christmas is a joyous occasion, and so my wish for you is that you'd have an abundance of joy. 

Be Merry

"Be Merry" is a piece of impromptu music that I created on 23 Dec 2020 because it's Christmas and it's a festive season. So, please check it out here: Be Merry.:) 

A Cheerful Heart is Good Medicine

As the saying goes, a cheerful heart is good medicine. So, stay cheerful and thereby stay healthy.

According to Mayo Clinic, which is a credible authority (in my view) on health-related information, laughter is good for us. Laughing is a good way to relieve stress. Laughing is not only beneficial to us in the short term, we could also reap long-term benefits from laughing. If we laugh often, I believe that our immune systems will improve and we'll enjoy better relationships with the people around us as well. 

Laughing Therapy?

Some years ago, I watched the news on TV and there was this piece of news on laughing as a form of therapy or something. I could vaguely remember watching a group of people standing around in a circle and laughing together. And their laughing, to me, was so contagious. I believe that some of the people in the group had to laugh deliberately, as in it wasn't occurring naturally then. I believe that they started laughing naturally only after the initial deliberate attempt to join the rest in laughing. 

While I was doing a google search on this topic, I came across a website where the writer says that it's been proven that laughing has an impact on virtually every system in our bodies. And being someone who laughs easily, I believe that he could be right. 

Laugh More

I'd encourage everyone who reads this to laugh more and stay healthy. Do it for yourself and do it for the ones you love.:)


Cheers,

Is Euthanasia the Only Way Out for Your Dog with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD)?

Image
Definition of Animal Euthanasia Animal euthanasia is the act of killing an animal humanely, most commonly with injectable drugs. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_euthanasia ) It's  a method of killing that minimises pain, distress, and anxiety experienced by the animal before the loss of consciousness. ( https://www.msdvetmanual.com/clinical-pathology-and-procedures/euthanasia/euthanasia-of-animals ) How Does Animal Euthanasia Work? Animal euthanasia is typically a two-step process involving two injections to make it painless and stress-free for the animal that is being euthanised.

A calming sedative is given followed by a vein injection. As the anaesthesia takes effect, it overwhelms the brain and shuts it down, quickening breathing and breathing stops within 30 seconds.

Do You Eat Dog Meat?

Image
  Around early 2022, I watched a video of a big dog being forced by a man to go up to a truck. The man was apparently a dog meat trader in a certain part of China. He was using a sharp tool to grip the dog’s neck, which obviously caused it pain and made it fearful as could be seen from its expression. There were other dogs on the truck. It was a sad sight to behold. There were quite a lot of onlookers around. I was shocked that none of them intervened. I knew it could get them into trouble with the dog meat trader if they were to intervene. But if some of them had stepped forward to help the poor dog, it was very likely to be saved. Surely they could buy it or at least call an animal shelter? How could they be so indifferent to the way the dog meat trader handle it? Dogs aren’t poultry. They are supposed to be pets doted by humans, not killed and eaten as food, isn’t it? Moreover, dogs are said to be very loyal. So how could anyone have the heart to kill and consume them? Okay, I k
