   How to Understand Dogs Your dog may be telling you something through signals 005 Is barking a form of language among dogs with precise significance, or just playful noise? Dogs exchange information among themselves less by voice than by a wide range of facial expressions, body postures and gestures, as well as by various scents. Dogs, who bark at night, are probably working off excess energy or announcing their presence, and this is undoubtedly the only message conveyed to other dogs within ear shot.  When a dog goes to his owner and deliberately barks, it is simply meant to attract attention. You must try to guess his general behavior, rather than from the circumstances and his general behavior, rather than from the particular form or pitch of bark he makes. The howling or baying of hunting dogs is an instinctive hunting cry informing the pack that the dog is on a trail. Barking at strange noises is a warning as well as a threat display. A lonely dog who bowls may be sending out a

 Acid reflux or heartburn, is it indigestion or what? Here's the answer -009 What is acid reflux though? It is the liquid in the stomach regurgitating into the oesophagus (gullet). Much of this liquid is acid produced in the stomach which is harmful to the walls of the oesophagus. Reflux happens to most people but because we spend much of our time upright, gravity ensures that the liquid returns to the stomach unnoticed. In addition, we swallow frequently which again returns regurgitated liquid to the stomach and saliva contains bicarbonate which helps to neutralise the acid in the stomach liquid. It doesnt do to ignore repeated instances of painful indigestion though, as it could be symptomatic of something much more serious. That refluxing acid can cause lasting damage to the lining of the oesophagus, which, if left untreated, can lead to other conditions. A friend relates that when she was a child, her father was always chewing on Rennies, a well known antacid in the UK. He used

There are others hidden in the mind that make a person unprepared for the fatigue of the sexual process - and therefore whoever complains of this phenomenon must search for those reasons, if they exist, and then treat them without resorting to a doctor. Anxiety, lack of preparation, and use in engaging in sexual intercourse make it end in failure - and every sexual intercourse must be preceded by more time between the spouses to sit together in silence, and there is no harm in starting a conversation that includes some joking and lau
