healthyfoodhouse--2020-07-17--These Fairy Cabins Let You Escape Reality In The Most Magical Way

From time to time , we all want to escape our everyday life , full of stress and tension , and retreat .
An isolated cabin in the mountain is the place to go , as these tiny homes are an ideal opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the simplicity of life .
Have you seen some of the work of cabin-builder extraordinaire Jacob Witzling before ?
He is now building a truly enchanting place called Cabinland , together with his life partner , Sara Underwood .
Their idea is to create eight-to-ten handcrafted , artisan cabins amid the peace under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in the temperate rainforests of Washington state .
The cabins will offer a unique chance to enjoy time off-grid , as they will be built using reclaimed wood and other materials scavenged from construction sites , thirty miles from the nearest town , and will be cut off from modern utilities .
Power will be provided by portable generators , water currently comes from the nearby stream , and there will be a composting toilet and outdoor showers .
Two cabins have been completed since the beginning of the year .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ almost entirely blends into the surrounding forest .
Its hexagonal base is topped with long beams tapering upwards to a diamond-pointed roof .
There is a living room with a stove and furniture on the ground floor , and a ladder-accessible loft space outfitted as a bedroom .
There is an outdoor shower and hot tub , where they have installed a propane on-demand tankless heater to provide warm water .
It is a magical place to hide away from the rest of the world !
The second house , called the Pump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heaped with moss , and a triangular-patterned door .
It holds the entire filtration system , and will house the pump for the new well .
In the meantime , the two keep their clothes and things stored away in the new wardrobe cabin , which has an asymmetrical and pitched roof clad in the same lush moss .
The community will be interconnected via a network of trails .
“ We like to make our structures do many—sometimes contradictory—things at the same time .
We want them to look as though they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were also built to stand out .
We want those who view them to think they look natural in their surroundings , yet at the same time , supernatural.
” Witzling came up with the idea when he was a child , and read his father ’ s copy of Handmade Houses : A Guide to the Woodbutcher ’ s Art .
When he was a teenager , he moved into a 1920s cabin tucked into a wooded forest near his parents ’ house .
He explained that he was always drawn back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and enjoyed the life filled with simple pleasures .
“ Inside was a wood stove that I fed and stoked through the harsh winter nights .
I had my freedom and my fire .
They were all I needed to be happy.
” At the age of 22 , he built his first mainly-upcycled cabin for a mere $ 800 , and with the help of his family and friends , designed and constructed several other off-the-grid cabins in forested spots around the US .
They are all built in a unique @ @ @ @ @ @ @ walls and doors , and moss-covered roofs .
The cabins measure no more than a couple of hundred square feet at the base and have loft spaces for bedding and extra storage .

Have you seen some of the work of cabin-builder extraordinaire Jacob Witzling before? He is now building a truly enchanting place called Cabinland, together with his life partner, Sara Underwood.
Their idea is to create eight-to-ten handcrafted, artisan cabins amid the peace under the trees, ferns, and woodland, in the temperate rainforests of Washington state.
The cabins will offer a unique chance to enjoy time off-grid, as they will be built using reclaimed wood and other materials scavenged from construction sites, thirty miles from the nearest town, and will be cut off from modern utilities.
Power will be provided by portable generators, water currently comes from the nearby stream, and there will be a composting toilet and outdoor showers.
Two cabins have been completed since the beginning of the year.
The first one, the Diamond House, almost entirely blends into the surrounding forest. Its hexagonal base is topped with long beams tapering upwards to a diamond-pointed roof.
There is a living room with a stove and furniture on the ground floor, and a ladder-accessible loft space outfitted as a bedroom. There is an outdoor shower and hot tub, where they have installed a propane on-demand tankless heater to provide warm water.

The second house, called the Pump House, has an angular roof, heaped with moss, and a triangular-patterned door. It holds the entire filtration system, and will house the pump for the new well.

At the age of 22, he built his first mainly-upcycled cabin for a mere $800, and with the help of his family and friends, designed and constructed several other off-the-grid cabins in forested spots around the US.
They are all built in a unique style, with polygonal frames, geometric-patterned walls and doors, and moss-covered roofs. The cabins measure no more than a couple of hundred square feet at the base and have loft spaces for bedding and extra storage.
Underwood is a popular model and an actress, and now, the couple dreams of creating this wonderful Cabinland together. They met several years ago when she contacted Witzling to use one of his cabins for a photoshoot.
Soon, they discovered their shared passion for cabins, and after brainstorming the idea for Cabinland, they constructed the Truck Cabin, a 40-square foot cabin built into the flatbed of a 1979 Ford pickup.
They toured the states to find the perfect place for their vision and eventually chose the beautiful Pacific Northwest. The 15-acre plot of land is the ideal spot for this self-sufficient vision.
They estimate to complete the project in two years, and by now, they keep the exact location in secret. Yet, the document the entire journey with a YouTube series and a dedicated Instagram page.

His aunt, Nikki, posted a follow-up image of the boy and explained she went to visit Bridger at his home. She explained that “ “his wounds are looking so much better”, and that the boy “is in great spirits, and his awesome personality is intact.”
The Walker family feels no animosity towards the dog or its owners:
“I’d also like to mention here that the dog’s owners are really great people who have been nothing but kind to Bridger and his family.
We feel no resentment toward them at all, and if anything there’s only been an increase of love between our families as a result of this incident.”
Numerous celebrities shared the story and praised the body for his courage!
Anne Hathaway commented:
“I’m not an Avenger, but I know a superhero when I see one. I can only hope I’m half as brave in my life as you are in yours, Bridger. Wishing you an easeful recovery, and many cool looking rocks.”
According to the family, Ruffalo, Tom Holland, Hugh Jackman, Zachary Levi, the Russo brothers, and Robbie Amell are among those who have reached out to them.
What a boy! What a hero!

healthyfoodhouse--2020-07-18--Rescue Dog Is Totally Convinced He’s One Of The Cats

Adopting a new pet is a challenge , as things might not always turn out as they initially seem .
Fortunately , nothing can go wrong with pets !
Bethany Castiller and her family wanted to adopt a dog that would get along with their two cats , Pecan and Gizmo .
Yet , when they went to a local rescue to adopt a dog , their dog , Mako , made it clear that he would be leaving the place with them .
Castiller , 21 , from Mount Pleasant in South Carolina , said : “ We joke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him , he picked us .
When we went to the rescue shelter he had his back against the cage so we started petting him and he looked over his shoulder and gave direct eye contact and we just fell in love with the little guy.
” Staff at the shelter told them that Mako would surely become a friend of their cats at home , as he acts like a cat himself !
The family soon realized that their dog thinks he is a cat too !
Everyone believes the dog has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his favorite things are classic cat activities .
He adores cat treats and sitting on top of cabinets and counters , and he doesn ’ t bark !
The first time the family found him on a table and a counter , they thought it was weird .
Over time , they just accepted it , and say that they have basically adopted another cat instead of a dog : “ We went online and found a dog toy that looks like a cat one so we go to the backyard and he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cats .
He also likes to lay on the tables with my cats and look out the window at the birds with them .
When he sees one of my cats lay on their backs for a tummy rub he comes over and does the same thing !
” This funny dog loves hanging out with his siblings .
“ Whenever Mako sees the boys on the counters or cabinets , he hops up to join them .
He really just wants to be around the cats all the time .
If he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of us humans , he ’ s with the cats.
” Mako chases his toys and jumps like cats , and his family has found him in hilarious places , not typical for dogs , of course , like on the top of the fridge , and sitting on a window sill with his siblings watching birds .
Mako is not a typical dog , but he is definitely an awesome one !

healthyfoodhouse--2020-07-19--Summer Safety: Saltwater A Lethal Threat To Dogs

If you have a dog , you have been blessed to be loved unconditionally .
Our dogs are truly our best friends , fun , affectionate , and loyal .
Therefore , it is our duty , privilege , and honor , to ensure their health and wellbeing , even if this means that we have to deprive them of some pleasures in life .
Apparently , this involves the amazing ocean dips in the summer heat , as spending too much time in the salty water might be lethal to dogs .
Back in July 2017 , Christopher Taylor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of South Florida at the time , took his Labrador retriever , O.G to Honeymoon Island Beach in Central Florida .
They had a very strong bond , as the dog has been his companion for over six years .
The dog enjoyed the time at the beach , but he spent a lot of time in the water .
“ He was like any other Lab .
He loved to play in the water , loved people , and was a big old goofball .
We were swimming and having a good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I made him drink fresh water , but we just stayed out too long.
” In the past , his dog suffered from diarrhea and vomiting after spending too much time in the water , but these symptoms would disappear within a few days .
This time , the condition of O.G .
aggravated over time , he lost his appetite and became exhausted , moody , and lethargic .
Christopher said that he wandered around the apartment , stared at the wall , and when he would call his name .
the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Unfortunately , Christopher discovered the reason for this when it was too late .
He took his dog to the vet , but there , O.G suffered a seizure due to swelling in his brain .
“ They put him on a standard IV and tried to get some electrolytes back in him , but he wasn ’ t really responding to that .
The last-ditch effort was a drug called mannitol , which reduces swelling in the brain .
But the vet said if he doesn ’ t respond well to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can do for him.
” His best friend died from salt water poisoning .
The excessive intake of salt water can severely dehydrate the body of a human or a dog .
This raises sodium levels in the blood , leading to hypernatremia .
To balance the high sodium concentrations , cells dump their water into the bloodstream , and can ‘ shrivel up ’ , leading to severe dehydration on a cellular level .
In case brain cells are affected by this , one experiences a fatal seizure .
Fatal cases of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases , dogs experience mild symptoms , and after the consumption of plenty of fresh water , they recover .
Yet , long periods in the ocean could cause irresistible damage , like in the case of O.G .
“ The body works very hard to regulate the balance of salt and water .
Dogs can also drive their body ’ s salt content too low if they drink too much fresh water when swimming in a lake or pool .

If you have a dog, you have been blessed to be loved unconditionally. Our dogs are truly our best friends, fun, affectionate, and loyal.
Therefore, it is our duty, privilege, and honor, to ensure their health and wellbeing, even if this means that we have to deprive them of some pleasures in life. Apparently, this involves the amazing ocean dips in the summer heat, as spending too much time in the salty water might be lethal to dogs.
Back in July 2017, Christopher Taylor, who was studying at the University of South Florida at the time, took his Labrador retriever, O.G to Honeymoon Island Beach in Central Florida.
They had a very strong bond, as the dog has been his companion for over six years. The dog enjoyed the time at the beach, but he spent a lot of time in the water.
Christopher explained:
“He was like any other Lab. He loved to play in the water, loved people, and was a big old goofball. We were swimming and having a good time. We took breaks, and I made him drink fresh water, but we just stayed out too long.”
In the past, his dog suffered from diarrhea and vomiting after spending too much time in the water, but these symptoms would disappear within a few days.
This time, the condition of O.G. aggravated over time, he lost his appetite and became exhausted, moody, and lethargic.
Christopher said that he wandered around the apartment, stared at the wall, and when he would call his name. the dog would not even acknowledge him.
Unfortunately, Christopher discovered the reason for this when it was too late. He took his dog to the vet, but there, O.G suffered a seizure due to swelling in his brain.
The young man explained:
“They put him on a standard IV and tried to get some electrolytes back in him, but he wasn’t really responding to that. The last-ditch effort was a drug called mannitol, which reduces swelling in the brain. But the vet said if he doesn’t respond well to the mannitol, there’s nothing we can do for him.”
His best friend died from salt water poisoning. The excessive intake of salt water can severely dehydrate the body of a human or a dog. This raises sodium levels in the blood, leading to hypernatremia.
To balance the high sodium concentrations, cells dump their water into the bloodstream, and can ‘shrivel up’, leading to severe dehydration on a cellular level.
In case brain cells are affected by this, one experiences a fatal seizure. Fatal cases of saltwater poisoning are rare. In most cases, dogs experience mild symptoms, and after the consumption of plenty of fresh water, they recover.
Yet, long periods in the ocean could cause irresistible damage, like in the case of O.G.
Dr. Heather Loenser of the American Animal Hospital Association, explains:
“The body works very hard to regulate the balance of salt and water. Dogs can also drive their body’s salt content too low if they drink too much fresh water when swimming in a lake or pool. If your dog’s behavior changes after swimming in either fresh or salt water, take him to the vet immediately for bloodwork.”
The signs and symptoms of saltwater poisoning include dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst, appetite loss, lethargy, excessive urination, and seizure.
At the vet, the dog will receive intravenous fluids to flush out the salt buildup, as well as other medications to control seizures, diarrhea, and vomiting.
In ideal cases, the water and electrolyte balance will be restored over a period of 2-3 days. During this time, the dog typically remains hospitalized.
As you already know, each season is a new challenge when it comes to your dog. To prevent dehydration during the summer, bring the dog inside, or allow it to cool in a doggy pool.
When at the beach, do not allow the dog to stay in the ocean longer than a few minutes. Take a break away from the water every 15 minutes. Afterward, give him plenty of fresh water.
Help your dog during the warm season, and walk him at the coolest time of the day. The mornings are perfect, as the asphalt is not warm. The dog house should be well-ventilated and placed in an area shaded from the sun.
Make sure its fur is regularly groomed, but not too much, as it acts as an insulator. Also, scrub it down with a flea-repellent shampoo. Make sure you always have iced treats at home, so your best friend can enjoy the summer just like you do!

healthyfoodhouse--2020-07-19--Crows Are Able To Hold A Grudge And Remember Your Face If You Are Mean To Them

Crows are known for their adaptability and intelligence .
Apart from their bad rap , these black birds are actually fascinating , brainy creatures , and together with other corvids , they ’ re some of the most intelligent animals in the world .
Yet , one thing that surprised many is that these birds do not let karma do their dirty work !
In fact , it has been reported that crows can remember faces , so if you have a grudge with a crow , it will come to settle scores !
This trivial went viral after a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ Crows not only hold grudges , they tell their friends and family about them ” .
Back in 2011 , John Marzluff from the University of Washington decided to study this claim .
The study findings revealed that crows and humans share one thing in common , they can retain images of faces , and they can associate those faces with polarizing feelings .
Researchers found that crows memorize the faces of people who have wronged them and if they see the person later on , they may even bring in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Crows have something similar to the amygdala in humans and other mammals .
This area of their brain is responsible for recognition , and it functions in a similar way as the one in the brains of mammals .
The follow-up study showed that when they spot a familiar face , their brains light up much like the human mind .
This was the first time such research was conducted on a bird , and Marzluff explained that this organ in the birds is analogous to the amygdala of mammals : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vertebrate brain where negative associations are stored as memories .
Previous work primarily concerned its function in mammals while our work shows that a similar system is at work in birds.
” The study , detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , indicates that caretakers might be able to lower the stress of captive animals by treating them well and consistently .
Dr. Marzluff added that these findings could be used to make better-behaved crows : “ By feeding and caring for birds in captivity their brain activity suggests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ valued social partners , rather than animals that must be feared.
” “ If you can learn who to avoid and who to seek out , that ’ s a lot easier than continually getting hurt .
I think it allows these animals to survive with us and take advantage of us in a much safer , more effective way.
” Therefore , we strongly advise you to think twice before picking up a fight with a crow again !

We’ve left a crow family alone in our yard for 20+ generations (and talk to them when they turn up). Each year the parents bring their fledglings to the yard, to be introduced to us. We never get swooped, they leave our vegetables alone, and they chase away pest bird species. — Stuart (@StmacR) June 28, 2020

healthyfoodhouse--2020-07-19--Woman Captures The Adorable Sounds Of A Baby Squirrel Snacking

Animals are sweet , baby animals are adorable , but baby squirrels are irresistible !
While the sight of a baby squirrel enjoying its snack melts our hearts , can you imagine the sound of it ?
For several weeks , a zoologist and wildlife photographer from London , UK , Dani Connor , had the role of an adoptive mom to four orphaned red squirrels , at home in a Swedish forest .
When she moved to a small village in rural Sweden , she started photographing the red squirrels in the area and became especially fond of one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the poor squirrel had been hit by a car and had died , leaving her babies behind .
Dani was determined to help .
As soon as she found them , she started delivering them food on a daily basis .
“ I was very lucky to find where the baby squirrels were !
I spoke to several wildlife sanctuaries and the advice I was given was that the baby squirrels are too small to survive on their own and if their mother had been killed by a car , they need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I watched over the baby squirrels and I was so happy to see them eating the food I had left them , I decided that if they have teeth and that they can eat , they should be able to survive in the wild.
” Surely , it is a very generous and compassionate gesture by Connor .
But it has its own delightful benefits .
She has gained their trust in return , and she got the chance to have a closer look at their everyday habits .
One day , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she noticed that her camera is not registering all the sounds .
She said she was missing “ the amazing noises they make when eating.
” Therefore , she positioned the microphone closer .
At this moment , she heard something incredibly sweet : along with the munching noises they made while eating , she heard another faint sound — a sweet symphony of happy squeaks .
“ When I heard it with headphones at home , my heart melted .
I have been told it is the same noise they make when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she ’ s spent over 100 hours with them , so her squirrels are used to her company and her filming them .
She believes they will soon be fully self-dependent : “ They will learn to live on their own .
Squirrels are highly adaptable animals .
I have already seen them cache food and no one has taught them this behavior – they learn from instinct , trial , and error .

She said:

You can always substitute an ingredient in cooking !
People knew the benefits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the social restrictions that do not allow us to go and borrow an ingredient from the neighbor .
Therefore , if things go in the right direction , but you lack an ingredient , do not worry , as there is always a way out !
Among the numerous recipes her grandmother left her , Amanda from Totally the Bomb also got a chart of cooking substitutions , and it is life-saving !
As she claims , “ you are going to want to keep this information for future reference !
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to all the grandmas out there , for being so incredibly amazing , and knowing all the answers to all the things !
” We can not agree more !
Yet , if you still lack an ingredient and it is not listed above , cookbook author David Joachim of The Food Substitutions Bible has a three-step process that can help you : • Access the situation , and think about any other item that is similar and you have it in the kitchen • Think of the function of the ingredient you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
Will it impact the structure or texture of the dish ?
• Think about an ingredient that might work best .
He says : “ Some people think that substitutes are magical and that one ingredient equals another .
The results will be a little different.

The coronavirus pandemic has dramatically changed our lives , that is for sure .
Yet , while the future looks grim , or uncertain at least , it seems that nature enjoys the break we all took .
This April , two pandas have finally got the chance to enjoy their privacy and mated for the first time in a decade !
Ocean Park Zoo in Hong Kong has been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic , and after years of encouragement by their handlers , the 14-year-old pandas , female Ying Ying and male Le Le , have finally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be bad at breeding , especially in captivity , so this news made the staff at the zoo ecstatic !
They mentioned nothing about the coincidental timing , but stated that the couple had clearly learned to copulate after years upon years of “ trial ” .
The zoo shared photos of the event , and officials explained that they hope the encounter will lead to a pregnancy .
Yet , they won ’ t be able to learn about the good news until about 14 to 17 days before birth , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be needed to confirm the pregnancy .
Michael Boos , Ocean Park ’ s executive director in zoological operations and conservation , added that the chances of pregnancy through natural mating are much higher than artificial insemination : “ Since Ying Ying and Le Le ’ s arrival in Hong Kong in 2007 and attempts at natural mating since 2010 , they , unfortunately , have yet to succeed until this year upon years of trial and learning .

Ocean Park Zoo in Hong Kong has been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and after years of encouragement by their handlers, the 14-year-old pandas, female Ying Ying and male Le Le, have finally mated.
Giant pandas are known to be bad at breeding, especially in captivity, so this news made the staff at the zoo ecstatic!
They mentioned nothing about the coincidental timing, but stated that the couple had clearly learned to copulate after years upon years of “trial”. The zoo shared photos of the event, and officials explained that they hope the encounter will lead to a pregnancy.
Yet, they won’t be able to learn about the good news until about 14 to 17 days before birth, and around that time, an ultrasound will be needed to confirm the pregnancy.
