The most popular handicrafts in Bora Bora are the pareos, which are wraparound skirts traditionally worn by Tahitian women but, today, it applies to any wraparound cloths worn around the body. It is the equivalent of sarongs in Malaysia or lavalava in Samoa.

These colorful cloths usually have floral designs and tribal tattoo motifs. You can use them not only as beach wear but they also make nice wall hangings or table cloths.

On your visit to Bora Bora, you can see a demonstration of how pareos are painted as well as different ways of tying or wrapping them around your body. Pareos are one of the best souvenirs to bring home.

One of the most well-known handicrafts in Bora Bora is the Tifaifai, a handmade quilt which is traditionally used in weddings to wrap around the newlyweds. Today, these magnificent cloths are also used as blankets and bedcovers. Many hotels can arrange tours to villages where you can see traditional Tifaifai quilt-making.

One of the best places to secure handicrafts and other souvenir items in Bora Bora is in the local crafts market known as “Te Fanau Tahi”. If you will be shopping for handicrafts and other knick knacks to bring home, take note that shops in Bora Bora and other neighboring islands are usually closed on Sundays, except shops in hotels. Te Fanau Tahi is open on weekends when there are cruise ships. If you are preparing to make a hard bargain, it is better if you save it for another trip as bargaining is not a common practice in these parts.

To the north of Hotel Bora Bora is Boutique Gaugin, another popular store with a large selection of handicrafts, black pearls and other souvenir items. This is also a good place to find artistic pareos. Boutique Gaugin is welcomes shoppers daily.

There are numerous boutiques in the island where you can shop for pareos and other handicrafts produced by local artisans such as Boutique Bora Bora in the village of Vaitape which sells a wide variety of items from woodcarvings to black pearls. While Vaitape is the main area in Bora Bora for shopping, there are plenty of shops along the islandÂ’s main road. Other popular handicrafts in Bora Bora that you can take home include hand-woven baskets, straw hats, flower and shell leis, fans, headbands and other handcrafted accessories made from coconut leaves and fibers, pearls and other natural materials.

It seems like you have been waiting forever, but its finally time for your new Doberman puppy to come home. Every puppy needs to be taught and trained on how to adapt to his new family, and the family has to adapt to having a new puppy in the house. The new puppy may be a little scared and sad to be away from his litter mates, or he may be excited and curious to explore his new home. Either way, there are some basics in caring for your new Doberman puppy.

It is important to have a crate for your puppy. Put a blanket or towel in the crate and introduce your Dobie to the crate as soon as possible. Leave the door open so he feels like he can go into his “den” whenever he wants. You can also put a toy in the crate. If your puppy gets tired, or overwhelmed, he will likely appreciate his own special place to rest. The first few nights at home can be difficult for the puppy and the family. You can expect the pup to cry and whine most of the night. Something we found helpful was to put a large stuffed animal in the crate. We found a stuffed dog that was bigger than our puppy, and she immediately cuddled up to the toy like she would with her litter mates. After a few nights your puppy will get used to sleeping in his crate. If you can place the crate in an area of your home where it will not be isolated, this is best, especially at night.

The best food for your puppy is a premium quality dry kibble, formulated especially for large breed puppies. This special formula insures the proper amount of protein and other nutrients while preventing the puppy from growing too big, too fast. Rapid growth does not allow the bones and joints time to develop properly, which will cause problems as the puppy matures. We also give our Dobermans a human grade, all natural pet vitamin. This provides supplements not in the dog food and not naturally produced by your dog. Omega fatty acids and antioxidants are beneficial for your dogs healthy immune system.

Dobermans at any age do not like to be alone and away from their family. Your Doberman puppy will need lots of attention, but this is a good thing…who doesn’t want to play with their puppy as much as possible? Socialization is especially important for a Doberman puppy. Any family members, neighbors, friends of your kids and neighborhood pets that will be around your new Dobie should be introduced early on. This way your naturally protective new family member will know there is no threat or danger to “his” family.

Puppy kindergarten is a good idea for your new Doberman puppy. This provides several important benefits. It will get your pup used to traveling in the car and being out in public. It will be an excellent, positive opportunity for socialization, and it will give your busy, active puppy someplace to focus his energy. Dobermans are very intelligent and highly trainable. They are happier if they are challenged physically and mentally. Basic obedience classes will help your puppy learn manners and will make him much easier for you to control. Believe me, a Doberman will try to be the boss if given the chance!

Dobermans are a working breed and they like to have something to do. This is a breed that requires a lot of attention, even beyond the puppy stage. They are great companions and family dogs. If you take the time to work with your puppy, he will grow up to be a cherished member of your family.

Has anyone ever left a dog or puppy home alone for a week while traveling? And someone to come by once a day?

The person would give him water and food for the entire day, take him out, clean out the wee wee pads. It’s just so expensive to put him in doggie day care, wondering what the problems would be.
Well right now it’s going to cost me about $35 each day, for 7 days to get my dog walker to take my puppy to her home while I am gone (my puppy I just got 2 1/2 weeks ago and my dad doesn’t know abt him, my parents are taking care of my first 2 year old pug). It’s just I don’t want to spend that much on pet care. I have been thinking of leaving him alone and having her come once a day, but she said that $35 is 3 walks a day, and I know she will prolly take him out with her when she goes out on walks.

Having a petsitter is great choice, but they should make more than one trip a day…at least two. When I petsit, I go 4 times a day.
Some things to consider…
Make sure you have numbers to your family vet and emergency clinic in case of problems.
Make sure your petsitter has very clear instructions on what to do in case of emergency, even for serious, life threatening situations.
Make sure you leave numbers you can be reached.
Call your family vet and let them know you are leaving, and if there is an emergency what you want them to do.

People usually do not prepare for emergencies and the petsitters are often faced with very difficult decisions when something goes wrong. Talk about finances, talk about CPR…it is not a good subject, but if there is a problem, you will be glad you did.
