They mention a free daily email newsletter called the Skimm that provides concise news updates. The Skimm is recommended for staying informed without internet distractions. The Calm app is praised for its mindfulness and meditation features. Jenna shares a funny story about meditating with the Calm app and being startled by a loud noise. Bunny, their dog, recently injured her paw by stepping on a sharp piece of scrap metal. Bunny required stitches and was treated at an emergency vet without being put under anesthesia. Bunny had difficulty with a cone after her injury due to sleep startled reactions and her long face. Bunny's trauma from the cone led to a distressing incident where she ran into a wall and was nervous. They decided to remove the cone and directly supervise Bunny to prevent further distress. 13:40
Dog's recovery journey and owner's recommendations. The dog has been recovering well, wagging its tail for the first time since the incident, showing signs of happiness and improvement. The owner has been cautious, carrying the dog up and down stairs to prevent excess movement and ensure minimal stress on the injured foot. Despite the challenging experience, the owner appreciates the support received from followers and emphasizes the importance of knowing one's pet well, even if it means deviating from vet recommendations. The owner opts for a hard cone over softer alternatives to ensure the dog's safety, prioritizing prevention of further injury. The actual injury, a cut requiring stitches, is deemed less problematic than the cone, medication, and vet visits, highlighting the unexpected difficulties in the recovery process. The dog's first visit to the vet was relatively smooth, with the owner reflecting on the overall experience and the importance of being prepared for unexpected challenges. A mishap with pain medication for the dog leads to a scare, but the vet reassures that the dose consumed is safe, highlighting the need for vigilance in pet care. The owner shares humorous anecdotes about the mischievous behavior of other pets in the household, particularly a dog named Peach, known for her food-stealing antics. The owner recommends using the Calm app for meditation and relaxation, emphasizing its benefits for mental well-being and sleep quality.
