Since you'll be measuring the dog's girth and length, you'll need a measuring tape, pencil, and paper. It may also help to have someone assist you in holding the dog steady while you take the measurements. Have plenty of treats available that you can use to reward your dog and encourage him to hold still. Get your dog to stand up so that you can measure the circumference around his ribcage (the girth). Try to measure the widest part of the dog's chest, which is generally located just behind the points of the elbows. Ask a friend to feed your dog treats by holding the treat just above your dog's nose. This will get your dog standing as tall as possible. Hold one end of the measuring tape on your dog's spine, just behind his shoulders. Roll the free end of the tape down along his side until it reaches the bottom of the widest point of the ribcage. Wrap the tape underneath the rib cage and back over the opposite side of the body to join the tape where you started. Make sure the tape is snug, but not tight against the skin. The widest point of the rib cage is just behind the front legs behind the points of the elbows. This is equivalent to the part of the elbow a person leans on, when resting her elbows on a desk. Once you've wrapped the measuring tape accurately around your dog's girth, write down the final measurement. Use the measurement you see at the point where the free end of the measuring tape touches the beginning edge. Get your dog to stand upright in order to measure the length of your dog's body between the base of the neck and beginning of the tail. Your friend may want to feed treats to your dog to encourage him to stand upright. Place the beginning edge of the measuring tape at the base of the neck, where it joins the shoulders (the nape of the neck). Extend the free end of the measuring tape along the length of the spine until it reaches the base of the tail. If you are not certain where this is, it helps to visualise where you want the coat to sit around the dog's neck and measure from that point to the base of the tail, since this is the length of coat you wish to purchase. Once you've extended the measuring tape across your dog's spine, use the number you see where the free end of the measuring tape touches the base of the tail. This is your dog's length measurement.

Summary: Gather your supplies. Locate where to measure your dog's girth. Measure your dog's girth. Write down the measurement. Locate where to measure your dog's length. Measure your dog's length. Write down the measurement.


Ask for assistance from a dealer if necessary. When purchasing a handgun, you should take several factors into account, including:  Decide on the intended use for the handgun. A range gun—or a gun primarily used for recreation at the gun range—is different than a concealed carry gun, or personal protection gun, which in turn might be different than a home defense gun.  Virtually any handgun can be a range gun, no matter how large or impractical. Concealed carry guns should  be smaller and lighter. Polymer frame guns and small steel frame guns are ideal. But keep in mind that the smaller and lighter the gun, the greater the recoil.  Handguns for home defense can be larger than carry guns, because the user doesn’t have to worry about being weighed down throughout the day. Just don’t get anything so large you have to worry about overshooting—passing through wall—and hurting an innocent bystander. For most people, guns are expensive purchases. You’ll want to make sure that you like the way your gun feels and shoots before you commit to it. Some sporting goods stores and gun dealers have shooting ranges where you can “test drive” a gun you’re looking at. Save yourself some potential embarrassment and familiarize yourself with the reasons you wouldn't pass a background check. You will be required to submit to one before you can complete your purchase. Felons, illegal aliens, persons who admit to being addicted to drugs, servicemen who have received a dishonorable discharge, persons who have renounced their citizenship, persons under restraining orders, persons convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence, those adjudicated mentally ill, and fugitives are all prohibited from purchasing a handgun. Before you can buy a handgun, you’ll have to submit to a background check. The only thing that you’ll need for the background check is a Wisconsin driver’s license or ID. Out of state licenses are not acceptable.  The background check is conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ), acting as a middleman for the FBI. Typically, a background check will only take minutes, but it can take as long as five business days. An extra $13 charge is added to the purchase of the firearm for conducting the background check. Wisconsin limits gun sales to those who are 18 years of age or older. While there was at one time a 48 hour waiting period, this was repealed in 2015.

Summary: Select the handgun you wish to purchase. Try before you buy. Make sure you can pass a background check. Submit to a background check.


Buy some bed sheets and pillows for your bed. If you want a really girly-looking bed, buy some blankets and a bunch of toss pillows to put at the head of your bed. If you want a more simplistic look, just stick with the bed sheets. Do whatever you want. Just because you're a girl doesn't mean that you have to be a 'girly-girl'. Buy some funky blankets with some adjoining cushions for your bed. Mirrors aren't just for girly-girls. If you love makeup, a good mirror will be handy when you're putting your makeup on. You can buy a full-length mirror so that you can see your outfits, too. Buy a mirror that has a cool frame, such as a mosaic with different colors of glass. Cork boards are really cool because you can display photos of your family, you, your friends, your pets, as well as other things like concert tickets and postcards. If your cork board is ugly, paint it a color that goes with your room, but not a very dark color, or put some cool fabric over it. You can also buy cork boards with fabric over them already. Put up posters of your favorite bands and celebrities. Put up pictures of your family and friends. Put in stuff that you like and that gives your room personality! Art projects, sketches, whatever you want. If you're the artist type put up your drawings, or paintings. Make it yours; after all, it is your room. Add lamps and maybe some dangling lights, such as butterfly or fairy lights. Fairy lights can be improved by sticking on motifs in the intervals between the lights.

Summary: Get some stuff for your bed. Add a few mirrors. Get a cork board. Make your room yours! Add cool lighting.
