Why Dogs Bury Their Favorite Bones
You may find it crazy that your dog buries his favorite bone or chew toy, only to dig it up a day or two later, but there is actually a reason behind it-it is simply in their nature. For thousands of years, dogs have buried their bones. The practice itself started long before dogs were even pets when they had to bury bones to survive.
When dogs lived in the wild, sometimes food was scarce. If they were able to find food, dogs became very protective of it. Sometimes they would have more bones than they could eat for one meal. To keep other dogs and animals from stealing their bones, dogs would bury them in the ground. When it was time for the next meal, they would dig up their bones and enjoy them again. This would continue until the bones were gone.
Even though most dogs have plenty of food to eat today, their instincts still tell them to bury their bones and favorite toys They do this to keep other dogs and animals from stealing them, just like their ancestors did. Some dogs keep at least two bones buried at once. When they want to dig up one, they will bury one more. This may leave a backyard full of holes and bones.
How do dogs decide where to bury their bones? A dog cannot bury a bone just anywhere. He must first find the perfect spot. This involves using his nose to find a spot that is free from other dogs and animals. Often it is near a tree or a large rock, but it could be anywhere in the yard. Once the dog finds the perfect spot, he uses his front paws to dig a hole, drops the bone in and covers up the hole to protect his treasure.

You can always try the exercise that uses your own body weight. The secret to success is to exercise the right way without hurting yourself.
At home, you can train at your own time. You are not affected by the timings of your gym or your trainer. This is an excellent solution for stay-at-home moms, and those individuals who work from home or have an irregular work schedule. With the number of tools available today, it is simple to set up a gym atmosphere in the comfort of your own home.
To get results at home, you need self-motivation and discipline, since you"re going to be on your own. It"s not as hard as you think and can be enjoyable and beneficial. When you are committed mentally to pursuing a leaner, energized and dynamic fitness level, changes happen much faster.

In fact, as a recent study says, exercising at home is just as beneficial as working out at a health club. It also found that people who trained at home were more likely to stick with their program than those who exercised at a club.

Secrets About Professional Chocolate Tasters
①People's faces light up when I say I taste chocolate for a living, but it's not always delicious ,I also have to taste bad chocolate. I'm usually in a small room and sit in front of a computer to record information. Sometimes the room has red lighting . So I can evaluate chocolate only by taste, not appearance.
② I can sample as many as 30 chocolates per day. To taste them professionally ,I spit the sweets back out. That's another not-so-sweet part of the job. Between samples ,I wait 30 seconds to let my senses rest, and I chew half an unsalted biscuit and drink plain warm water.
③ First I smell the chocolate and record it. I also listen: Old chocolate doesn't make a clear and sharp sound when broken. Then I put a tiny piece in my mouth and leave it there for a few seconds. I let it melt and record the four basic tastes-sweet, sour , bitter and salty.
④ I love chocolate. The bottom part of my refrigerator is filled with chocolate from different parts of the world. My favorite types are very high in cocoa(可可粉). Before I started tasting chocolate professionally, I ate a lot. But now I don't eat so much.
⑤Many people don't know how to appreciate the taste of chocolate. As a taster ,I want to help others do what I do. To retrain your taste buds to enjoy better quality chocolate, try simple kinds that aren't filled with ingredients like nuts. Look at food with curiosity and love. Notice its color, smell and taste. Then you' Il know good quality.
