To all you dog lovers and education enthusiasts out there, we needed to advertise the Miami Career Centers Mock Interview program so we created this little video to help the cause. Tina, my dog, was phenomenally well tempered about the situation.
EDIT: sorry, had to edit this. Posted the wrong video.
I asked Pax to show me her happy face, and this is what I got.
Have a happy everyone!

Dezeen : Seatbelts inform Steady walking aid for elderly dogs
The pet Ill never forget: Cocker the cockerel, who made my life a misery
A trio of design students from in has developed a walking aid for that uses a mechanism similar to a car seatbelt to provide support while allowing a good range of movement.
Steady was designed as a non-motorised support system for elderly dogs that are susceptible to mobility issues due to disc problems, arthritis and bone dislocation.
Steady is a walking aid for dogs
Based on their own experiences of living with and assisting senior dogs, students and set out to create a walking aid that prioritises autonomy, flexibility and adaptability.
They teamed up with fashion design student and experts from the 's faculty of veterinary medicine to develop a solution that ensures a secure and comfortable experience for the animals.
The device uses a seatbelt-style strap
Based on their research, the designers identified limitations with existing products that can prevent the dogs from behaving normally during their daily walks.
"We discovered pain points where dogs using wheelchairs or other assistive devices couldn't mark freely or smell scents along the roadside," Lee told Dezeen.
"Therefore, we aimed to design a structure that utilises the structure of seat belts to provide some degree of freedom but also firm support in the event of impact."

The designers sought a solution that could work on different terrains to protect the animals from stumbling or tipping over when they encounter an obstacle.
They took inspiration from the way seatbelts are manufactured to allow some freedom of movement during use while holding the body firmly in place if an impact occurs.
Steady's vertically descending straps attach to a harness that can be used alongside joint-protective clothing. The wide harness supports the dog's belly from behind, creating a free area below to allow for normal walking.
The walking aid can be adjusted to fit small to medium-sized dogs
The straps unravel and retract like a seatbelt so they can constantly move with the animal. In case of a sudden stop, an integrated locking mechanism tightens and holds the dog securely upright.
The straps are attached to a two-wheeled walker that rolls along behind the dog and incorporates a foot brake so both pet and owner can safely pause at any time.
A knob on one side of the stem releases a telescopic slider so the device can adjust to fit small to medium-sized dogs. The handle can be folded to make the product easier to store.

Steady also incorporates sensors that measure and analyse the dog's walking data. Users can view this information on an app designed to help detect inconspicuous signs of joint issues in older animals.
According to Lee, the designers hope to one day bring the product to market "and contribute to improving the lives of senior dogs." In the meantime, they have been invited to participate in a support programme for aspiring entrepreneurs studying at Korean universities.
Other designs for canines that have recently been featured on Dezeen include a and a .

Tips for dealing with a highly neurotic/nervous cat
Shine behaves normally most of the time but absolutely cannot stand being held and often runs if approached.
I mostly just need to trim his claws. I've heard something like wrap them up in a thick blanket so they can't hurt you and hold them until they chill Sounds like he'd just panic at least at first

Leia is asking very politely for you to give her a treat
My work desk is but a step away from the arm of my couch (450 sq ft Tiny House). So frequently one of the puppies will come up on my desk to try to distract me from work.
The youngest puppy just came up and gave me a very gentle tongue lashing kissing my face. He ever so gently puts his paw on your face as he does it. He's such a sweetie, but he can take your breath away with his love.
Badam cat insists on curling up next to my head today, it's adorable and I can hear his heart beating between the gentle purring. Also, my neck hurts!
Tried moving him but a) he's a big cat b) he refuses to be moved, claws in pillow c) I'm enjoying this, except the neck hurting part
do not make good , unless your idea of a good pet is one you never pet.
When young and foolish, I once tried to have a wild mouse as a pet that I found as a (eyes about to open) pup. I put food by my hand (but not directly touching it) and it reward me by running up to my hand and chomping down hard and not letting go when it realized it would have to go past me for the food. I have *never* had a domestic mouse behave like that, and frankly, it makes me feel less bad about wild mice constantly getting eaten by predators.
