We will do our best in the next year to try to post more often, we do have a fun adventure already planned for next year 😉 We wanted to share a few photos from this year of some of the adventures we had together, most notably the times we got our pups together and they had a blast!

We LOVE pizza rolls! But sometimes they can be a little expensive in the store or you just don't have room in the freezer to store them. We found a delicious recipe for HOMEMADE pizza rolls by Tasty that allows you to store them in the refrigerator instead of the freezer. These are also healthier than the regular pizza rolls you buy in a pack and are perfect for a party. What ingredients are you adding to this? Let us know in the comments or send us an email at [email protected]!
Since we last did a COVID-vaccine update on our site, Johnson and Johnson has come out with their new vaccine called the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. Now compared to the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine (which are similarly made and work the same way), this one is different in how it is made, dosage and efficacy, so we would like to briefly go over if anyone is hesitating getting it.
How is the Janssen vaccine made different from the others? Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines work by delivering mRNA instructions for the spike protein inside of a lipid ball that enters your cells, triggering the immune system. This technology has been researched before now, but the common vaccines you have gotten up to now don't use mRNA. The Johnson and Johnson vaccine works like other common vaccinations you get throughout your lifetime (such as the yearly flu vaccine). They use a harmless cold virus to deliver instructions to our cells for making the spike protein used by the COVID-19 virus to get inside our cells. The immune system then responds to the spike protein, thus creating antibodies. Another difference between the two is that the Janssen vaccine only requires one vaccination compared to the two needed for Pfizer and Moderna. How effective is this new vaccine? The Janssen vaccine has 66.3% effectiveness overall and 74.4% effectiveness in the United States against preventing COVID-19, which if you compare it to other vaccines made the same way, such as the flu shot or pneumonia shot is around the same effectiveness similarly. However in trials this vaccine has proven 100% efficacy against hospitalization and death from the virus, which is what's super important because that is what we are trying to focus on in this pandemic, keeping a mass amount of people out of the hospital so we don't overload them at once. Does this vaccine have worse side effects than the other two? There are possible side effects with any medicine, procedure, or vaccination you get, and while you need to be informed of them before you make a decision, it doesn't mean you are guaranteed to get all (or any). The whole point of vaccinations is to strengthen your immune system, so it is likely to experience side effects afterwards. But it's a good thing to get side effects, because that means your body is doing it's thing, and learning how to make the proper antibodies. Some possible side effects of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is, pain, redness, swelling at the site, alongside headache, muscle pain, fever, chills and nausea. Overall no matter what vaccine you end up getting, what's important is that your building immunity to protect yourself and others against COVID-19. Mostly it depends on the site you are getting the vaccine from, and what they are able to stock.
