READING A postcard from Greece. Dear James,
This vacation is wonderful. I arrived by ship to the island. The island is beautiful and the weather is hot and sunny every day. I arrived on Saturday morning and then I went to Agios Sostis beach. I took a long swim and then I sunbathed until noon. Next, I had lunch at a tavern on the beach. Also, I met some boys from Romania and we played volleyball with some of the local people. They are all very friendly.
In addition, I loved the hotel because it is fantastic, very modern, and it also has a pool. I liked the town, I walked around and took some photos. Then, I went to Delos to visit the ancient ruins.
Finally, I went shopping yesterday and I bought you a nice present.
I hope you like it. See you when I get home.
Love, Helen

There are a number of aspects in the care of the dog on which to focus:
grooming;
washing a dog;
walking;

Grooming.
To care for your dog's coat should from the very young age. This case the breeder must take the time every day. Requires not just vigorously brush the fur of the animal. You must properly brush and comb. The brush will also massage the skin, improve its blood supply, thereby making the hair more thick and shiny.
Washing a dog
Bathe your dog often with special shampoo or powder, impossible. It will not make the hair more pure, and will only hurt the animal, as the wool will slip away natural fat grease. The consequence would be that the dog will lose such an important quality of their wool, as the water resistance, which is often ill. Before bathing and after the dog is thoroughly combed. In order to choose the right shampoo for your animal, you need to go to the vet. Dogs also can be washed with shampoo designed for humans, for example, suitable soft shampoo for children.
The paddock
The best way to teach a puppy to a leash in a small garden or any other enclosed area. It is recommended to carry out dog walking early in the morning or in the evening, during sunset. In order to preserve the health of the dog, don't let her too much to jump or climb stairs and slopes. This can lead to the fact that her fragile bones can bend.
Vaccination
Each animal must be vaccinated in a timely manner. You need to be vaccinated at the age of 2-3 months. Modern veterinary stations offer a comprehensive vaccination, instead of the usual three. It has certain advantages, but for the body of the animal it can be very hard. Some small dogs can even be laid up for a couple of days, as will feel tremendous weakness and malaise.
