Chaque matin de l’été, Ellie et sa grand-mère vont à la plage. Ils se baignent, érigent des châteaux de sable et, pendant que Nonna lit, Ellie regarde les autres enfants jouer. Un jour, Ellie trouve le courage d’approcher une fille plus âgée qu'elle, Piper, qui s'amuse seule dans une barque échouée. Piper a un don : son imagination est si grande qu'elle emmène Ellie dans de grandes aventures, volant haut dans les airs, nageant au fond de l’océan et voyageant partout à bord de leur petit bateau bleu, leur bateau magique. Mais quand Piper doit s'en aller, Ellie découvre qu'elle aussi possède une imagination débordante.

La llegada de un perro adulto a su casa exige tanto esfuerzo por su parte y la de su familia como la de un cachorro. Es un error pensar que sólo porque el perro haya crecido y haya sido entrenado para ir al baño en una casa, se adaptará inmediatamente al horario de eliminación de su casa también.
Eso no es realista. El perro tiene muchas adaptaciones a su nuevo entorno y no sabe instintivamente que no se permite orinar en el suelo, sobre todo porque a su anterior dueño no le importaba o no parecía importarle.
No cometa el error de suponer que, por ser un perro adulto, simplemente 'sabrá' lo que tiene que hacer. Empieza con él como si fuera un cachorro y enséñale poco a poco la rutina del horario de los orinales de tu mascota en casa.
Probablemente tengas que empezar con el adiestramiento en la caja o la restricción a un baño. A continuación, establezca un horario para los descansos para hacer sus necesidades. Los perros adultos son muy exigentes a la hora de encontrar un lugar para hacer sus necesidades en el exterior que esté alejado del lugar donde juegan, al igual que no les gusta hacer sus necesidades cerca de donde duermen o comen.
Ayúdele a encontrar ese lugar en el patio o en el exterior cuando pasee y devuélvalo allí para los siguientes descansos para hacer sus necesidades. Tienes que controlar los descansos para ir al baño durante varias semanas para aprender los patrones de eliminación de tu perro.
También tienes que establecer los horarios de alimentación por la mañana y por la noche. Es posible que no haya tenido un horario de vida tan organizado, por lo que esto podría llevar tiempo de adaptación. No te creas el viejo dicho de que 'a un perro viejo no se le pueden enseñar trucos nuevos'. Lo importante no es la edad del perro, sino la constancia del dueño.

Kate MacDougall always knew her heart wasn't really in her job at Sotheby's. All around her, friends were finding their dream jobs and whooshing up career ladders. After yet another breakage, this time of two precious porcelain pigeons, she had enough, and walked out of her snoozy, back office existence into the unknown world of the then-nascent gig economy.
London's No. 1 Dog-Walking Agency is the story of her next 9 years and the dogs (and people) she meets along the way. There's Winston, the Labrador, who isn't allowed to get muddy, even after his owners split up and then enlist Kate in their custody battle. There's the chic trio of Islington couples whose immaculately arranged dog walking schedule is thrown off when one of them gets off with the dog walker Kate has employed. There's Kate's long-suffering, dog-agnostic boyfriend Finlay, and her mother, who is always on the alert for wedding bells.
Amongst all this, there's Kate herself: trying to work out what she wants from life, and when and how to get there.
A generally accepted figure for the larger Stone Age featuring the first use of stone tools begins at 3.4 million years in the early Paleolithic Age. In a brief interim period of two thousand years following the end of the most recent Ice Age, the Mesolithic period serves as a transition to the Neolithic running from 8700 to 2000 BCE. More conservative estimates place the span of the Stone Age at 2.5 million years, ending around 3000 BCE. Modern dating systems are intended to provide approximate conclusions within large epochs, not pinpoint calendar dates, and shifts of opinion are ongoing. Grouped together, the Stone Age phases for the tripartite Stone Age are drawn from the Greek words Palaios (old) and Lithos (stone). The proliferation of sub-categorizations was designed as a method for studying early humans within a more organized set of chronologies. Before such terms came into use in the eighteenth century, the best available tracing of early man came from the Greek poet Hesiod. His categorization of prehistory followed a scheme through the Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, Heroic Age, and Iron Age. Such an arrangement is by all appearances more of a reflection of and salute to human mythology gathered by the threads of emerging and past cultures.
Something more scientific was required for scholars of the Enlightenment. The solution was provided by Christian J. Thomsen, a Danish antiquarian who relied on a three-part system of identification. In the larger picture of earth’s pre-history, his sequence of Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages gained consensus. The Stone Age’s separation into Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic brought about a clearer dividing line for epochs where humans began to work with metal.
