Why Mum and Dad... why.

If you have a back door to your garden then placing the dog's puppy pads beside it will be beneficial. I put a bell on my back door and whenever the dog went outside to do the toilet I'd ring the bell. Eventually he figured out that ringing the bell means outside so now he rings the bell every time. Watch YouTube videos on puppy training for that particular dog if you can, if not generic videos will be fine. Get yourself a shit tonne of dog treats because they're going to be required to get the dog trained up on sit, recall etc As above, with crate training, you can initially put the crate in beside where you sleep to get the pup comfortable with it then as the nights get better and better you can move it slowly to where you want its permanent place to be.

The Sea Shanty one is superb

Don't know whether this belongs here or in the Schland-thread, still decided to post it as it's amusing,. When Rummenigge was asked , what he considers his biggest failure during an interview with German paper Münchner Merkur, he responded: "Signing Klinsmann as a manager!"

Don't want to tell you how to suck eggs but from my experience, this is what I'd say. Sorry if it's a bit overkill. Sounds a bit simple but puppy proof your place before they come. Anything you don't want chewed, make sure its off the floor. They will be inquisitive when they check out your home and the amount of times I've said they won't touch that and they have is unbelievable. When you bring it home, if there is a blanket that his its mothers scent on, that will help it settle in your home. No big drama's if not. Naturally your daughter will want to play all the time with it. That's fine. At that age they just can't control when they go toilet so just be aware when they are getting excited and worked up, to stick them out in the garden after 15/20mins of play to avoid accidents. Just on getting them excited too, not sure how old your daughter is but they are very bitey when they are young. Tell her to be careful when she keeps waving her hands and fingers around its face, they just think your playing otherwise. Make sure they got some chewy toys they can play/bite into. Make sure they go out first thing when you get up and before bed so they get used to going to toilet at these times. Keep a couple water bowls out whilst they are getting used to things so they keep their fluids up. I'm assuming you will probably get a crate for the puppy, which if you do, you want it to get used to going in there so don't sbut the door unless its at night so they can get used to walking in and out. Never make them scared to go in it though as punishment if naughty. Equally if they cry and howl at night, you kinda need to put up with it initially so they know your not weak. Try not to mix up the diet too much because then they will get fussy and think if they don't want it, you'll just give them something else. There are certain things under no circumstance can you feed them, like human chocolate, grapes etc as its poisonous so familiarise yourself with these things. Don't overdo it on treats initially, more as rewards for going toilet outside or when they learn to sit and stay. They are going to have accidents, its natural. Just try be patient with that till they grasp it, and they will.

There's an initiative called COVAX which is exactly that - a global scheme for equitable distribution of vaccines, especially to lower-income countries that wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise, and they expect to deliver at least 2 billion doses until the end of the year. It is backed by WHO and signed by some 190 countries, including the rich ones (except USA and Russia) that will finance 92 low- and middle-income countries through the scheme. It has been recently announced that with the current agreements in place, all those countries will be able to access doses required to protect their vulnerable groups in the first half of 2021.

Pfft @JoshBRFC

Sometimes, it's best just to keep your mouth shut. P.S Not surprised gobshite Vaughan is on here either.

Agree to an extent however geography may well be an important factor. Where the virus is most prevalent it is most likely to mutate and spread beyond. In effect the age hierarchy might not be the most ethical or the best way to reduce death. Allowing the virus to rip through under 50s could be a catastrophic mistake. One of the potential downsides to vacinnating first is that it could just come back mutated in a years time from somewhere else on the planet. Would under 40s in hot spots be willing to remain in lockdown until we have over 50s everywhere in the world vaccinated?

Forget the moral question of why countries are poorer, why do I a healthy 31 year old with barely any risk of serious illness or death need a vaccine over a health worker in Bangladesh or an 80 year old in Mali? I don't. Vaccines should be given to people in order of vulnerability, not wealth. I'm not religious but it's things like this that make me think, if there is a god, nearly all of us are damned.

Pant. A god.

Finally got around to watching WandaVision and its weird overall. You really hope they drop something by Ep 2 but then they just go back to what they were showing before. Hopefully it picks up soonish.

Surely opera (and classical music in general) is one of the most - if not THE most - complex and technically demanding genres to perform?

I was watching Naughty milfs and there was a hot 55 year old, so bad she was. Was quite a good storyline to the plot as well.

Mont Tremblant was fun - went dogsledding and finally got to see frozen lakes again, something that is hard to spot nowadays in southern Ontario. Global warming is a thing
