@jadeleeashford has been rescuing and rehoming dog

@jadeleeashford has been rescuing and rehoming dogs for almost a decade, but it wasn’t until a near-death experience that she realised her purpose; quit her job and build the ultimate doggie destination.

Every year, thousands of precious dogs lose their homes and their lives. Jade Ashford’s mission … to rescue as many as she can, give them shelter, full tummies, show them compassion and respect, and most importantly fill their lives with love. She’s also dedicated her life to proving that rescue dogs are hidden treasures waiting to shine.

“I bought a small holding in Botha’s Hill and started with two puppy areas and one member of staff. Soon afterwards, along with six other dedicated animal lovers, we were heading to a small fishing town in the Northern Cape, where we were faced with hundreds of homeless dogs, no local animal shelters and the closest SPCA was 150kms away.”

Jade returned with 53 dogs and pups and felt confident they’d be able to rehome them fairly quickly. But the riots and floods that followed in 2022, dashed those hopes. With so many homes damaged, people were giving up their dogs and Jade’s little rescue centre grew overnight.

Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness W $Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness We all know exercising is essential for our well-being. But those workouts or walks, runs or cycles sometimes bring on the aches and pains. Strains and sprains, stiffness and soreness ... which can range from being uncomfortable to being completely debilitating. Biokineticist Kevin Oliver tells us more about sports injuries and helps us understand inflammation, which is the body's natural response to injury or trauma, and many sports injuries - including sprains, strains, fractures, and tendonitis - involve inflammation, characterised by swelling, pain, heat, redness, and loss of function. Read what he has to say here - https://shorturl.at/oAKT2 Managing inflammation is essential to avoid a prolonged or chronic inflammatory state, to reduce pain and restore functionality. Conventional treatments may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid medications. However, many people pursuing healthy lifestyles prefer natural and holistic solutions that are free from side-effects. If you prefer to go the natural route, there are plenty of plants with anti-inflammatory properties - peppermint, rosemary, ginger and eucalyptus are a few. The Aromatic Apothecary Sport range includes roll-on, spray on and rub-on products that can be frequently applied on-the-go and provide quick relief throughout the day. The Sport Roll-on Relief is gel-based, and the roll-on applicator not only delivers active ingredients that are quickly absorbed into the sore muscle or joint, but it’s also a mini-massage. The Sport Spray-on Relief is a water-based solution, so perfect for larger, sore areas, such as an entire foot or shoulder, with no massage necessary so no sticky or oily hands. And the Sport Rub-on Relief is an easily absorbed cream that needs just a brief rub into sore muscles and joints for targeted relief. There’s also a massage oil, and the magnificently effective Sport Mustard Milk Soak Bath Crystals.

Proper nutrition for cats and dogs is essential to

Proper nutrition for cats and dogs is essential to their health and well-being. By understanding their needs, providing balanced diets, and following veterinary advice, you can ensure your pets thrive at every stage of life.

MACRONUTRIENTS
Both cats and dogs need macronutrients such as protein, fat and carbohydrates in their diet. Protein is particularly important for both species, as it provides essential amino acids that are necessary for various physiological functions. Good sources of protein for cats and dogs include meat, fish and eggs.

COMMERCIAL PET FOOD
There are many commercial pet foods available for both cats and dogs, including dry kibble, wet food and raw diets. When choosing a commercial pet food, it’s important to look for products that are endorsed or approved by pet nutritionists and vets.

OBESITY PREVENTION
Maintaining a healthy weight is important for the health and longevity of cats and dogs. Overfeeding or give your pet too many high-calorie treats can contribute to obesity. It’s important to monitor their body condition and adjust their diet and exercise routine accordingly.

Retirement generally involves downsizing, which of

Retirement generally involves downsizing, which often also means losing a garden. However, retirees who no longer have a garden can still enjoy the benefits and pleasures of easy-to-care-for houseplants.

This #NationalGardeningDay, we’re helping you do exactly that! Here’s a few surprising benefits of growing houseplants in your home …

On a practical level, indoor plants purify the air and increase humidity, which helps to ease dry skin and respiratory issues due to dry air. More importantly, plants induce a sense of well-being. They bring a room to life, especially flowering plants and the pleasure that we get from them goes a long way to reduce stress, anxiety and even loneliness.

For retirees with time on their hands, caring for plants can become a rewarding hobby, giving a sense of purpose.

According to research in Australia, time spent daily with plants ‘can reduce the likelihood of dementia by up to 36 %’. This has emerged from a 16-year study of 2 800 older people at St Vincent’s Hospital in New South Wales. They found that using plants to stimulate the senses, and keep people active, helped to reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

For glam celebrations or casual dinners ... salute!

With 5 stars in the Platter’s 2024 SA Wine Guide, this @lerichewines Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is the one to bring out for special celebrations. Fruit forward - delicious fresh black fruits, and firm tannins assist in creating a voluptuous, creamy mouthfeel which is balanced by a long, appetising finish.

No matter how it is prepared, salmon is always delicious. And to take it to the next level ... serve with a glass of Muratie Isabella Chardonnay. This full-bodied, subtly oaked Chardonnay - with an enticing peach-blossom fragrance, ripe stone fruit, melon and citrus flavours with hints of hazelnuts and vanilla cream perfectly complements the richness of salmon.

The vegan-friendly Journey’s End V1 Chardonnay 2022 is elegant, refined, with a gorgeous aromatic freshness (think citrus with vibrant lemon and lime notes and hints of floral orange blossom), and a silky smooth palate - with subtle coconut and peach notes. From the same estate, the V3 Shiraz 2020 is an easy-drinking wine with an expressive aromatic delivery of blackcurrants and violets with notes of white pepper and dried coriander.

PS: The exquisite next vintage of Cavalli Chardonnay 2023 has been released ... a burst of bright tropical flavours and delicate white stone fruit!
