Broken With My Mother In Law

“Peanut, let him go.” A dog barked. I looked down and panicked. Well, it grabbed Donald’s leg and didn’t let go.

“Let go, let go,” Donald yelled as he tossed his leg, trying to toss the dog away. If I hadn’t pulled it away, he would have suffered, even though he had been bitten a little. 

I read from an article that if you’ve been bitten by a dog, it’s important to tend to the injury right away to reduce your risk of bacterial infection. You also should assess the wound to determine the severity. 

In some instances, you’ll be able to administer first aid to yourself. In other cases, you’ll need immediate medical treatment.

Whether the dog is yours or someone else’s, you may feel shaken after being bitten. If you need medical attention, call for help rather than driving yourself to the doctor or hospital.

In addition, the first thing you should do following a dog bite is to put distance between yourself and the dog. That can eliminate the chances that you may be bitten again. But of course, the dog was not mine but I knew them so it’s fine. I will make sure that he will not get bitten again. 

Once there’s no longer an immediate threat, it’s important to determine if the dog has been inoculated against rabies. Of course the dogs that I walk with were already vaccinated. 

If the dog’s owner is nearby, ask for the dog’s vaccination history, making sure to get the owner’s name, telephone number, and veterinarian’s contact information. If possible, also ask to see some sort of ID. That’s already done, I’m sure the dog that bit him is getting enough nutrients and vaccines. 

Of course, it’s also possible to be bitten by your own dog. For this reason, make sure to keep up with your dog’s rabies inoculations. Even a friendly, gentle animal may sometimes bite. 

In the case earlier, I think the dog was just mad or because he didn’t know him that’s why he bit him. But I am sure it is nothing serious. 

“I’m sorry he bit you. I mean, they’ve all had injections. It should be okay.” It was so unfortunate that it hurt him, so now I took him and some dogs to my room to treat his wound.

“Seriously, don’t worry, it’s just a little skin.” He said it didn’t matter, but the dog I pulled bit people. I can’t ignore it. In that case, I am too cold-blooded and ruthless.

I am trying to remember the article before about the first aid of a dog bite. The type of first aid you administer will be determined by the severity of the bite.

If the skin wasn’t broken, wash the area with warm water and soap. I can also apply an antibacterial lotion to the area as a precaution.

If the skin was broken, wash the area with warm soap and water and gently press on the wound to promote a small amount of bleeding. This will help flush out germs.

If the bite is already bleeding, apply a clean cloth to the wound and gently press down to stop the flow. Follow up with an application of antibacterial lotion and cover with a sterile bandage.

All dog bite wounds, even minor ones, should be monitored for signs of infection until they’re completely healed. I said in my mind. I was so busy treating him that I did not notice him staring at me. When I looked up, I saw him looking at me then looking at the surroundings, which is already my room. 

When I am almost done, I notice that the one thing I need is not beside me. So I stood up and looked for it. 

When I took a peek at what he was doing inside my room, I said, “Get out.” 

Since I saw him go inside checking my things. It should not be the behavior of a man especially if they are in other people’s rooms. Much more, I am a girl, so I don’t need him rummaging through my stuff. 

“Have you just moved in?” He looked at the brand-new tables and chairs next to me and asked me that as a girl, she would always take care of these furniture.

“No, I’ve been moving in for a year and a half.” I took my bag off my shoulder and threw it on the table

“Nice place.” I chose my own room. Of course, it’s nice. I only say this because it’s nice to have a place to stand.

“I should have hydrogen peroxide here.” As an independent girl, I will prepare some petty belongings in case of emergency, so I can find hydrogen peroxide to treat his wound.

“What is this?” He picked up something on my desk.

“I am a yoga teacher.” I answered. 

“What do you do as a yoga teacher by the way?” He asked casually as if he is interested in being a yoga teacher. 

“Well, a yoga teacher is a fitness and wellness professional who leads group classes in yoga. They teach students how to perform the various stretching poses, practice meditation and promote mindfulness in addition to overall wellbeing. These professionals are also often referred to as “yoga instructors” and “yogis.”” I said, quoting the lines. 

“The specific responsibilities often includes, instructing small or large groups of new, intermediate or experienced yoga practitioners

Demonstrating stretching poses, including alternative, advanced and adjusted positions to provide more accessibility to students of different levels. Advising students on ways to improve or refine their practice, including at-home routines, positions for certain benefits and techniques to make positions easier, safer or more challenging

Helping individual students perfect their form, including offering manual adjustments during lessons. Leading groups through quiet meditation by talking through the process of letting thoughts go and relaxing each part of the body and sharing the basic spiritual and intellectual principles of yoga.” I explained patiently, watching his reaction. 

He was just staring at me with mouth hanging so I cleared my throat to get his attention. Actually it is not hard being a yoga teacher. You just need to get an education. 

Education requirements for yoga teachers are focused on their understanding of and practice in yoga, meditation and its spiritual principles. To prove their educational qualifications, they are often required or preferred to hold a certification in yoga instruction. 

Yoga instructors come from a variety of educational backgrounds. Some teachers may have some secondary education, a high school diploma or any level of post-secondary education. Though traditional education is not often required, some employers may prefer candidates to have a high school diploma or even a bachelor’s degree. Some relevant degrees these professionals may pursue include education, sports medicine, sports management, physical therapy or other health science. All of these degrees would be transferable for yoga teachers also interested in serving as fitness instructors, personal trainers, athletic trainers or teachers. Depending on employers, advanced education may result in increased earning potential.

After that, there is training. These professionals gain much of their training in yoga through years of individual practice, taking classes, learning new and advanced poses, and getting advice from practicing yoga teachers. Some of these fitness professionals attend yoga retreats or enroll in a series of classes, and do so over many years, before pursuing a training program and becoming a teacher. Aspiring yoga instructors can gain experience before certification by observing the practice of their teachers and even helping fellow students on their own.

Before selecting a training program, aspiring yogis must choose which type of practice they want to specialize in, such as ashtanga, restorative, hatha, bikram and hot yoga. Each practice has its own methods, principles, pose combinations, transitions and intended level of practice. Some programs offer training in a variety of practice types, though some may specialize in one or two.

Yoga teachers typically complete an instructor training program that has been certified through the internationally recognized Yoga Alliance’s Registered Yoga School. Training programs may vary in setting, length, requirements and cost, but RYS-certified programs follow the training-hour designations selected by the Yoga Alliance to ensure students who complete training can be properly certified.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“What about this?” He asked, changing the topic. 

“Coach of a small club, walk the dog, host a party, I told you I was a temporary employee.” After years of unsuccessful love search, I found another way to live, that is, to work multiple part-time jobs and earn enough money. Well, that’s it. I opened the door of another room as I walked.

“That’s not true. She’s a very talented artist.” Dylan rebutted what I said, and came out of my open room with a book. I don’t understand. Does he know me very well? I think so. After all, we are friends.

“Dylan, Dylan,” I whispered to him, signaling him to stop talking.
