How To Medicate Your Dog With a Pill

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 06:47 PM PST

Dogs are extremely lovable pets and when they get sick it will surely break your heart. However, diagnosing problems does not come easy because dogs love their owners to an almost worshipful level such that they won't exhibit any sort of obvious behavior or emotion that will give their owners the slightest hint of being sick. It is actually entirely up to you, the dog owner, to be sensitive and observe signs that your dog is not as healthy and vibrant on a given day. For instance, if your dog will only eat when prompted, that's a sign. Even when prompted, he eats less, that's also a sign. Your next step would be to prepare your dog for a check up and take it from there. Your dog will most likely take a needle or get medication intravenously or better, a regular pill feeding on vet-recommended time intervals.

Here are the steps you need to take to medicate your dog with a pill.

How To Measure Tire Size

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 06:25 PM PST

What's a car without tires? Answer: Nothing. Indeed, a car that's missing tires won't go anywhere. Even Fred Flintstone knows this. Therefore, the importance of tires should never be taken for granted.

How To Measure the Layers of Curly Hair

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 06:23 PM PST

Why is it that many women look better with stick-straight over curly hair? If you've heard this before, that's a baseless observation, especially if you've been born with curly hair and turn blue in the face each time a woman with straight hair walks by.

You've seen this scene often enough. While at the library, a girl tries to reach in vain for a book on one of the top shelves and fails miserably despite a second attempt.

This just goes to prove that: One, chivalry is not dead. Two, the tall guy exhibits precise Shoulder Flexion Range of Motion.

Just what exactly is Shoulder Flexion? It's a complicated name for a motor function that simply allows your muscles and joints to reach up high for something like a book on top of a shelf, a volleyball over the net, a tennis ball to hit with your racquet, and block a shot in basketball.

How To Make a Paper Football

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 04:36 PM PST

When you can't get enough football games on television, you need a piece of paper to get more. This is where paper football comes into play. You need a table and two players to play this game, flicking the paper football with fingers. When the ball comes to the edge of the table, the 'kicking' player earns six points.

Real football, despite sharp warnings from medical society and conservative groups, draw criticisms. Notoriously dangerous, more and more players are hospitalized and rehabilitated. Protective gear and heavy helmets complemented by sharp focus and alertness is a matter of survival in the playing field. To gain victory, the essentials include speed, endurance, teamwork and power play.

In contrast, paper football is a child's game. It does not even break your nails, no matter if you flick the ball for weeks. You merely have to flick the paper football to and from the table. You can even eat pizza with your other hand while at it.
