For Your Information 3 by Dr. Janice Aluin and Dr. Everett Turner Durham Veterinary Clinic Introducing a New Baby and Pets Many people are concerned about the reaction of their pets when they are having a new baby. The following protocol is not foolproof, but it can certainly help to ease the transition. Before the baby arrives, get the pet used to a schedule that is realistic to continue with an infant present. Get the pet's feeding and walking schedule schedule set so that all the changes don't happen when the baby arrives. Set aside a block of five or ten minutes that you spend totally on the pet's needs. Use this time to play with and pamper your pet. Remember to be realistic realistic and don't feel guilty. A block of time devoted completely to the pet is probably more than you give your pet INSIGHT SMALL BUSINESS A Weekly Feature for Entrepreneurs Borrowed Money What are demand loans, and how do they differ from term loans? The provision of money is divided into two categories: "ownership money" money" and "borrowed money." Ownership money is equity financing financing together with the reinvestment of profits generated by the business. Sometimes called "debt financing", financing", borrowed money is the most common kind of financing. Operating loans or demand loans, are advanced on a revolving or fluctuating fluctuating credit basis subject to annual review. review. These loans are usually granted for general operating purposes and arc useful when there arc normal, recurring recurring or temporary financial requirements. requirements. ■ A retailer who requires a seasonal inventory of air conditioners is an example example of someone who could apply for a demand loan since his need is temporary or seasonal. In the case of clothing retailer, there arc generally at least four distinct seasonal build-up periods each year, as well as specific high-volume periods within a season, such as Christmas sales. This example of seasonal inventory inventory build-up shows that operating or demand loans arc usually self liquidating. liquidating. If a demand loan is used to grant credit during a peak selling season, the loan will be repaid when the invoices invoices are paid and the accounts receivable receivable arc reduced to a normal level. Another characteristic of an operating operating loan, aside from the fact that it is usually secured, is that the interest rate at the time of signing may be lower lower than a term loan. The repayment of the loan can be demanded at any time by the lender, but usually this only occurs when payments payments are in arrears, or when there is a serious deterioration in the affairs of the business. at one time, even now. If you have a dog, start instituting a leash walking schedule that you can maintain. If you have difficulty walking walking or controlling your dog on a leash, work hard now to gain control. Before the baby arrives, allow the pet to explore the area where the baby will sleep or be changed. Let the pet become used to the new smells, but do not allow the pet to sleep in or on any of the baby's furniture. When the baby is bom, have your spouse bring home some used articles of the baby's. Allow the pet to sniff these and keep them around the house. When the baby comes homes, one adult should hold the infant and the other gain control of the animals. Dogs that jump may need to be put in another room until the baby is settled. Once the initial excitement has died down, the animals should be allowed in to sniff and explore, but control must be maintained if any signs of aggression aggression are seen. Never hold out or dangle the baby in front of the pet. If a cat or dog appears aggressive, remove them from the room until they have calmed down. Then try to introduce them again. When only one spouse is home with the infant during the first few weeks, the pets may need to be confined confined or restrained while the baby is being tended to. If the pets have accepted accepted the baby with no problems, they can be allowed free access to the baby after about three weeks. Close observation is always necessary, however. however. A pet should never be allowed to sleep with or in the room of an unattended unattended infant. Use a baby monitor and keep the door closed. Infants cannot push a pet of any size off them and the pet could accidentally smother the baby. Most pets adapt well, but serious problems can and do occur. If you have any doubts or questions, please contact the staff at your pet's veterinary veterinary clinic.
