It is a wonderful, memorableevent and if managed correctly will be the start of a long and happy home environment for both you and yourpuppy. Read on for some useful tips to help you prepare to welcome a puppy into your home.1. Firstly you should choose a breed that is suitable to your living situation. For example, a large dog willrequire a garden and wouldn’t be suitable for apartment living. Think about your lifestyle, the time you haveavailable for a dog and the size of your home and garden. 2. Decide what room the puppy will sleep and eatin. Then make sure the room is secure and warm. 3. Contact the owner or kennel you are getting the puppyfrom and find out what it is being fed. It is important that the puppy gets the same food when it arrives in itsnew home. You can gradually change its food at a later date once your puppy has settled in. 4. A goodsuggestion is to get a small soft toy for your puppy to give to the owner a week or so before the puppy iscollected. This way the puppy will have something familiar, in scent and texture, to keep it company. 5.Research your local vet and make an appointment to bring your puppy in for a check up and vaccinations. 6.Arrange your pet insurance. Pet health care can be very expensive, so insurance can help you with anyunforeseen costs. For instance, many companies have a selection of pet insurance packages for you to choosefrom. 7. Put together your new puppy check list and get new items before your puppy arrives. Before youcollect your pet, for example, make sure that you have your pet travel case in the car so you can then transportyour new pet safely. Also, it is always a good idea to bring some wipers in case your new puppy gets car sick.✕ 你選的

His voyages to the South Pole have acquired epic status and he is consideredone of Britain's greatest explorers. Shackleton was born on 15 February 1874 in Ireland. His family moved toLondon where he was educated. He then joined the merchant navy when he was 16. In 1898, he qualified as amaster mariner and was keen to explore the poles.In 1901, Shackleton was chosen to go on the Antarctic expedition led by British naval officer Robert FalconScott. Shackleton and Scott trekked towards the South Pole, which had yet to be reached by humans, inextremely difficult conditions. They got closer than anyone had come before, but Shackleton fell seriously illand had to return home.In 1908, Shackleton was able to persuade wealthy backers to fund his own expedition, so he could returnto the Antarctic as the leader of his own expedition. The expedition made many important scientific discoveriesand set a record by coming even closer to the South Pole than before. The success of the expedition earnedShackleton knighthood on his return to Britain.Shackleton made his third trip to the Antarctic with the ship 'Endurance' in 1914, an expedition that hasacquired epic status. The plan was to cross Antarctica via the South Pole but in early in 1915, the ship becametrapped in the ice, and ten months later sank. The crew had already abandoned the ship and set off in threesmall boats, to Elephant Island. From there six crew members including Shackleton and the captain planned tosail to South Georgia to get help. They used a lifeboat across the treacherous seas of the South Atlantic. Theymanaged to reach the island of South Georgia and were able to get help from the Chilean government. InAugust 1916, the men left behind on Elephant Island were rescued. In the end, Shackleton was able to lead all27 of his men to safety.After World War I was over, Shackleton organized another expedition, which aimed to circumnavigate theAntarctic continent.
