PETS CORNER - Canine Separation Anxiety…
your dog’s behaviour is caused by anxiety and so doing everything you can to reduce anxiety at other times as well as during separations will be a great first step. Ensure when you are getting ready that you are calm, organised and relaxed and when you return do so equally calmly and don’t fuss your dog immediately on return Does he/she soil the house or destroy things while you’re gone? Is he/she generally anxious when you’re getting ready to go out?
It’s great you have a loving dog that is your constant companion but the reality is we can’t be with our furry take your coat off, put the kettle on friends all the time and that and make it seem like a normal event sometimes means that our dogs can not like you’re greeting a long lost get very anxious when left alone. friend as this makes you going and Simply put dogs with separation returning more stressful for your pet. anxiety are usually overly attached to or dependent on one or more family At first, it’s usually best to find an members.

However, separation anxiety can be Resolved.
During retraining it is key to develop a routine. Start to introduce periods where your dog is asked to stay on a mat or the floor away from you for period of time and then reward them if they settle like this for a while with the attention they want. Increase this to being left in another room and then short periods alone in the house. At first the period alone in the other room may only be very short but you can then increase and progress. It can be a slow process but well worth it.
When you leave don’t make it a big thing or make too much fuss of the dog. It is also good to make your leaving a positive experience by giving the dog something nice, that they don’t have at other times and something that will help keep them occupied while you are gone.

Becky’s Movie Previews Things are heating up in the cinema now with the mid-year blockbusters starting to roll out. So here’s what’s coming up this month.
Coming Soon…
Sabotage
He wasn’t lying when he said he’d be back, Arnold Schwarzenegger is bringing the action once again in new shoot-em-up Sabotage. As the saying goes, ‘if it ain’t broke…’ Arnie stars as the leader of an elite team of DEA agents that also includes the likes of Joe Manganiello (Magic Mike), Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Josh
Holloway (Lost). The team goes out on a drug raid that results in the capture of the leader a drug cartel and the recovery of $10 million. Soon the team start to realise that something isn’t right when the money that was recovered goes missing and some of the team are found murdered. It’s not long before the team are investigated for the theft and they have to find out who is setting them up before they all wind up dead. This is definitely not one for the younger generation as its packed full of death and destruction that we have only come to expect from the likes of Schwarzenegger. One for the die hard action fan. Release date: 07.05.14
Godzilla
I think it’s safe to say that everyone is familiar with the concept of Godzilla as it has been known in popular culture since its Japanese release in the 50’s. This film is a reboot of the first franchise and retells the origin of Godzilla in modern times as well as being faithful to the original films.
Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston stars in the epic as well as Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass) and Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene). This may be one of the blockbusters of the year and with its 3D status, it will no doubt draw a substantial crowd. Release date: 15.05.14
From the looks of the trailer the effects look immense (it will also be in 3D) and this is definitely a film that is worth a reboot, unlike so many others from recent times.

X-Men: Days of Future Past
This is the seventh in the X-Men series so far and is the third to be directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2). Days of Future Past sees a mix of stars from the original trilogy as well as the recent films which looked at the origins of the Mutants. This film acts as a sequel to both X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: First Class as well as a follow-up to The Wolverine. These all come together for what may be the last of the films with the entire ensemble cast. The X-Men all come together to fight a war for the survival of the species across two time periods. The characters from the original X-Men trilogy join forces with their younger selves in a battle for their lives. The film sees Wolverine sent back to the past to convince the
Maleficent Now is another origin story of sorts and another in 3D, but this time it comes from the House of Disney. The film follows the untold story of the villain from 1959 Disney classic Sleeping Beauty that reveals the events that hardened Maleficent’s heart and drove her to curse the baby, Aurora. The film is told from the perspective of Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) herself and is the re-imagining of the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. She is driven by revenge and a fierce desire to product the land in which she resides, so she puts the curse upon the King’s new-born infant. As Aurora (Elle Fanning) grows, she is caught in the middle of the Chesterfield 1st

younger Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) of what will come to be and to prepare for it in an effort to change the course of history. This is not an easy task as he isn’t the same man he later becomes (Patrick Stewart). Could this finally be the end for the species of mutant kind? There have been rumours of a similar origin story for the character of Mystique, recently played by Jennifer Lawrence so this may not be the last we’ve seen of the X-Men. Release date: 22.05.14
seething conflict between the Forest Kingdom which she holds in her heart and the human kingdom that is part of her legacy. Maleficent soon comes to realise that Aurora may hold the key to bringing about peace in the land and is forced to take drastic action that may change both of their worlds forever. This is the directorial debut of the production designer Robert Stromberg (Alice in Wonderland and Oz: The Great and Powerful). So this is sure to be an impressive set piece if nothing else but I’m sure with the following that Disney has both young and old, I’m sure this will not suffer at the box office. Release date: 28.05.14

Russell Grant’s Monthly Horoscopes
ARIES March 21st - April 20th Early May is ideal for getting a makeover, updating your wardrobe, or undergoing a cosmetic procedure. Negotiate a raise during the first week of the month; a high powered executive will admire your tenacity. If you can't get the salary you want, you can arrange to work from home, at least part of the time. This will save plenty of money on commuting and meals. It will also allow you to enjoy more time with your family. Let your best friend or romantic partner spoil you throughout mid-May. You're overdue for some tender loving care. The Full Moon on the 14th will allow you to pay off a long standing debt. Your newfound freedom will come as a profound relief. A stalled relationship will move forward toward the end of the month. Disappointing news will arrive on or around the 28th. It will be difficult to communicate with a moody relative or neighbour. TAURUS April 21st - May 21st Spend time on solitary creative pursuits in the opening days of May. An invitation to join an exclusive educational or cultural institution will come your way on or around the 4th. This membership will improve both your personal and professional prospects. Don't let a repressive friend, lover, or business partner dampen your enthusiasm in the first half of the month. If you get turned down for a job, don't panic. A better opportunity will arrive near the 14th, probably through a personal contact. Celebrate a loved one's good fortune in the second half of May. A lavish dinner and sentimental gift are definitely good ideas. The New Moon on the 28th finds you arguing about money. You may not be able to get the salary you deserve, partly because an organisation has an unrealistic view about the work you perform. Stay patient. Your chances for finding a lucrative position will improve as May turns to June. GEMINI May 22nd - June 21st You'll find a receptive audience for your ideas in early May. Spend the first week of the month making proposals, negotiating deals and arranging meetings. Confusing
16
instructions from an authority figure make it difficult to do your job throughout the first half of May. Fortunately, your colleagues will help fill in the gaps. The Full Moon on the 14th marks the conclusion of a challenging work assignment. Fortunately, you'll get a handsome reward for all of your diligence and sacrifice. Friends will promote your talent during the second half of the month. The more networking you do during this fateful period, the higher your star will rise. The New Moon on the 28th will tempt you to change your look in some radical way, but don't do it. You're better off maintaining a classic, professional image.

Judge Doesn’t ‘fix it’ for Bob The Builder Tycoon’s Daughter… Two recent high profile divorce cases show just how the complexities of divorce law can continue to surprise and dismay. Victoria Luckwell, daughter of the director of a company behind the creation of Bob the Builder, enjoyed a lifestyle which stemmed largely from her father’s money, including a substantial property that he had transferred to her. When she married Frankie Limata he signed pre-marital agreements confirming that he wouldn’t claim against family assets. The couple had children and were financially assisted throughout the marriage by Victoria’s father.
compared to Victoria. Mr Limata was awarded £1.2 million overall, which included a house/flat, funded by Victoria, not exceeding £900,000 – although she would recover 45% of that when the youngest child reached adulthood. Victoria’s only personal substantial asset was the property that her father had given to her. She confirmed that her father would stand by his decision not to continue to financially support her following the divorce, and she would have to sell her home to finance the settlement, leaving her and the children impoverished. She said that the judgment created a ‘gold digger’s charter’.
It is hoped that recent Law Society proposals on prenuptial agreements When the couple divorced Mr Limata will re-address some of the sought a larger settlement than was uncertainty caused by this kind of agreed in the prenuptial agreement. case by making prenuptial Victoria’s father said he wouldn’t agreements more legally binding continue to financial assist her if Mr than they presently are. Limata’s claim succeeded, nor would he make up any financial loss she Contrast this with the case of Mrs suffered in the divorce - inferring that Sharland who brought a case against he felt it would open future claims in her husband, claiming that her similar circumstances. original divorce settlement was unfair due to undisclosed financial matters The judge ruled that, despite the within divorce proceedings. She prenuptial agreement, proper thought that had they been known provision must be made for the settlement would have been Mr Limata, including housing, and different. Whilst finding that that the children would be affected if Mr Sharland had been dishonest, the court left him impoverished, fraudulent and had purged himself,
the Court of Appeal dismissed her claim with a 2-1 majority, saying that the settlement wouldn’t have been significantly different had the relevant information been known. The court said that in the interim, Mr Sharland’s fortunes had changed and his parents’ financial position was now largely as he had said it was, albeit untruthfully, in the divorce proceedings. Is this a licence to lie, and do we have another subscriber to the ‘cheat’s charter’, given Mr Sharland’s ability to mislead his spouse about financial dealings and get away with it?

May In The Garden Don't rush to do your borders , baskets and pots as you may get caught out by late frosts. Unless you have some means of protecting your plants the best advice is not to buy your bedding until late may.

Planting up baskets, pots and borders this should be completed late this month to ensure a colourful summer display. One thing you must do is to feed your plants regularly to keep them healthy and flowering to their full potential. This can be achieved by using purpose made slow release fertilisers or liquid feeds which are high in potash (K) which promote buds and flowering . To find out which feeds are suitable look on the container and you require the highest number to be on the right which is under K (potash) the other two elements are N ( nitrogen ) used for leafy growth and P ( phosphate ) used for good root formation. Tomato fertilisers are a good example of feed high in potash. Remember to water regularly as baskets and containers dry out very quickly so anything that will retain
moisture is useful, including water retaining crystals or if you have any old floristry oasis cut it into small cubes and add this to your compost. Other jobs this month include: Earthing up potatoes, and plant any still Outstanding. Regularly hoe weeds from borders and veg plots. Open greenhouse vents and doors on warm days and nights. Mow lawns weekly. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of daffodils and other spring flowering bulbs.

A Masterpiece For £50… Local Artist, Keith Arrowsmith, studied at Art College in his youth, but decided to get a "proper" job in order to pay the rent. He kept up his artwork as a hobby, but after retiring decided to try his hand at selling portraits. He found he could provide a product at a quality and price pleasing to people. Using digital photography to capture the character and detail for an accurate portrait, Keith usually arranges a free photo session at the subject's home. Working in oil pastels Keith's striking portraits hang in pride of place in dozens of homes. Unusual pets including ferrets, rabbits and racing pigeons as well as people portraits are to be found in his portfolio. " It's important to capture" that look" of the subject in the photo, and agree the choice with the
customer- that's what I feel makes the difference.. Because it's still my hobby, i take the pictures and deliver a painting free of charge, which means I get to enjoy the reaction to my work" Working with pets can lead to some funny situations..... " A local lady phoned to ask for a portrait of her "pudding". She explained she had several photos of her old cat that might be suitable. On visiting I carefully selected one I could use, I sympathised " It's a pity she's not with us". "Yes it is really".....came the reply......" but she usually comes in for her tea about five." I returned with my camera the next day to find pudding sat in an armchair facing the TV. " She's very skittish and doesn't like men so you'll only get one" explained the owner. I took three identical photos of the immovable pet who was totally engrossed in the TV and the owner agreed it made for a lovely portrait.!"
