In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Both you and your dog are the most safe when your dog is securely crated in the back seat of your car. If your dog is freely roaming there are chances of them obstructing your driving and increasing their risk of injury.  If your dog isn't crate trained, use a harness and dog safety-belt to secure it in the vehicle instead. Dogs should never travel in the beds of pickup trucks. Not only will they be directly exposed to the elements, they may also suffer fatal injuries should you get into an accident. Keeping your dog in a truck bed is also illegal in some areas. Feeding your dog hours before you begin traveling will help prevent motion sickness. Provide small snacks that are high in protein during rest stops to keep your dog satisfied.  Feed your dog small portions of their regular food or small treats whenever you take a break from driving. If your dog is prone to car sickness consult your vet for remedies. Stopping frequently to let your dog stretch their legs and relieve themselves will help keep them happy, comfortable, and relaxed throughout the entire trip. Try and find dog-friendly locations to make stops at. Even if the windows are cracked cars can quickly become too hot and dehydrate your dog. In order to avoid a conflict try finding a dog-friendly stop along your route.  Enlist the help of a friend if you must leave your dog. Remember, dogs can succumb to heatstroke in just 15 minutes.
Summary: Keep your dog crated in the back seat. Feed your dog a few hours before travel and provide snacks at rest stops. Stop frequently for exercise and bathroom breaks. Never leave your dog unattended in your car.

Instead of paying for the party to be catered, try making your own food (if you feel up to the challenge). Baking your own cake will save quite a bit of money right off the bat, and you can offer simple party snacks like chips and dip, pretzels, homemade jellos and small sandwiches or deli plates.  If you don't feel up to doing all the food on your own, consider asking your close friends or family members if they'd be willing to help make a dish or two for the party. It may be best to avoid asking the parents of your guests, however, as you don't want them to feel they must bring something in order to attend. You can also opt for something relatively low-cost, like a sheet pizza and wings. For soda and juice, go with off-brand or generic beverages. Kids won't taste the difference between brand-name soda and off-brand soda, and it will save you quite a bit on supply costs. Rather than hiring a party entertainer by the hour, you can teach yourself some magic tricks or balloon shapes and provide your own entertainment. If you want to encourage an outdoor outing (weather permitting), you may want to look into having the birthday party at a nearby park, or organizing a nature walk after everyone's had cake. Look for parks and guided nature walks online to find a wilderness area near you. You can organize a board game tournament, or have the kids play traditional party games that are easy to organize on a budget. Some classic examples include pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey and musical chairs. You can also organize a bean bag toss or a game of Simon Says.  Another cheap and easy game is building an obstacle course in the backyard. You can use materials you already have, or opt for low-cost obstacles like hula-hoops and jump ropes. Just be sure that everything you use in the obstacle course is safe and will not cause any potential injuries.  You can also organize easy-to-play games like kickball or capture the flag. These games are fun and will cost virtually nothing to buy supplies for. If your budget doesn't have much room for entertainment, consider choosing a variety of DIY projects or crafts for the kids to participate in at the party. That will keep them busy and engaged, and it will allow them to work together on a common project.  One fun example of a DIY project involves using crayons or non-permanent markers to draw on cardboard to make a play castle or doll house. All you'll need is some cardboard (from moving boxes or a large refrigerator box, for example) and drawing materials.  You can also use more traditional projects, like finger painting. Or look online for cheap and easy children's craft projects.  Look into children's craft classes at a local or chain craft store, like Michaels. They often have free or low-cost (approximately $5 per child) craft classes, which could be a fun birthday outing, if your party list is small enough. Instead of buying expensive party favors, fill a paper or plastic bag with candy and stickers to give out as party favors. If your budget allows it, you may want to get one or two more expensive toys and hold a raffle to see which kid gets the big gift. If you want to get toys for the party favors, look around online to find toys you can buy in bulk. Some large-quantity toy orders, like plastic figurines, can be bought by the pound at certain outlets.

Problem: Article: In some instances, it might be best to install the yarn bomb during daylight hours. Other times, you might find it more beneficial to install it at night, when few others are around to interfere.  Yarn bombing during the day will likely make it impossible to remain anonymous, but if secrecy is not important to you, the daylight will make it much easier to see. If you want to remain anonymous, you will need to pick a time of day when very few people are likely to be around. Usually, this means installing the yarn bomb at night. Aside from your yarn artwork and installation tools, you may also need to bring a few helpers with you.  You will need to bring a yarn needle, matching yarn, and scissors to actually install a crocheted or knitted piece. If you are latch hooking or cross stitching, bring the tools you would usually use to create a piece of this nature. Take your diagram, as well, so that you can check your work against it as you move through the installation. You should also bring along a ladder if you need to reach tall places and a flashlight if you are working at night. Even if you think you can install the yarn bomb on your own, it is a wise idea to bring at least one friend with you if you are doing the work in the evening or at night. Use your diagram as a guide as you wrap each piece of yarn artwork around the appropriate part of the object. Hold each piece in place with safety pins until all of the pieces are in their correct position. If you are cross stitching, latch hooking, or wrapping, you won't have any previously created pieces to wrap around the work. Instead, you will need to use the object itself as your canvas and create the entire work on scene. Use additional yarn and a large yarn needle to stitch all the seams together, holding the yarn bomb in place more securely. Once everything is in place, you can remove the safety pins previously responsible for holding the pieces together. Use a simple stitch to make the process as easy and quick as possible. For instance, a whip stitch is usually a good choice. It is crucial that you do not cause any damage to anyone's property while installing your yarn bomb. Aside from man-made property, like benches and signs, you should also avoid damaging the plants and animals living in the area.
Summary:
Go during the best time of day. Bring everything you might need. Wrap each piece around the object. Sew seams to install the yarn bomb. Never cause any property damage.
