Article: It is important not to breed dogs that have hip dysplasia, as it will be passed onto their puppies. To reduce the incidence of hip dysplasia, good breeders now screen breeding stock for the condition. Thus, only dogs screened by the Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals and found to have good hips scores should be used for breeding.  By breeding from Rottweiler's with healthy hips, in time, the breed's health will improve and countless owners will be spared the heartbreak of seeing an active dog struggling to move and in constant pain.  Make sure any Rottweiler puppy you purchase comes from a reputable breeder who actually follows these guidelines. This is important for the future health of a dog you adopt. It is also important to avoid supporting breeders who continue to encourage this problem through bad breeding practices. The deterioration can be hastened by a poor diet that is not balanced to provide the slow, sustained bone growth of a large breed such as a Rottweiler. To this end, it is best to feed a special diet designed for "large breed growth." Excessive amounts of exercise in a puppy can also make the joints more vulnerable to damage. This can accelerate the onset of the disability caused by dysplasia.  Try to give your dog low-impact exercise. This means exercise that is easier on the joints, such as walking or swimming. This will allow the dog to burn off some of its energy, while not threatening the future health of its joints.  Older dogs with bad joints need to have controlled amounts of exercise as well, but they usually do not have the energy or youthful enthusiasm that makes this kind of exercise likely.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't breed dogs with the condition. Feed your dog special large breed food. Avoid excessive amounts of exercise for puppies.

Problem: Article: Your doctor will not be able to diagnose your pain, understand the root of the symptoms, or prescribe an effective pain medication if your descriptions are vague. Tell your doctor exactly where on your body you experience the pain, and if the pain travels or moves from one location to another, be precise about that as well. For example:  Rather than saying, “My back hurts,” say something like, “I feel pain between my shoulder blades, and sometimes a stabbing feeling shoots up my neck.” “My pain is all in my legs, but during the course of the day it moves from a sharp pain in my ankles to a more throbbing pain in my knees and hips.” “Pain” itself is a fairly broad term; it can cover a tremendous variety of symptoms, from mild discomfort to tremendous suffering. To help your physician better understand your specific pain, use descriptive terminology. The better your doctor understands the experience of pain that you’re going through, the more accurately they’ll be able to prescribe a helpful pain medication. Your doctor will most likely only prescribe you pain medication if the source of your pain is consistent with an acute injury or a debilitating chronic medical condition that you suffer from, so make sure that you describe it clearly and accurately. Use words like:   “Dull” or “aching.” “Throbbing” or “pounding.” “Stabbing,” “sharp,” or “shooting.” “Burning” or “tingling.” Make sure to show your doctor any MRIs, X-rays, or other medical records that display important parts of your medical history. Especially if you’ve had a severe injury or condition, your doctor will be more inclined to prescribe pain medication. Whether you have a degenerative joint disease or an acute injury, your doctor will evaluate your potential need of pain medication and if so, what type on a case-by-case basis.
Summary: Describe the location of the pain as specifically as possible. Use precise language to convey how your pain feels. Provide your doctor with your medical documents.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: These varieties require some extra work and insulation. The hilling technique insulates and covers the rose bush, keeping it frozen and protecting it from the sunlight and wind. You don’t want to scrape up the soil around the plant, since this can damage the root system and decrease the plant’s chances of survival. Instead, buy bagged, well-drained topsoil from a local gardening or home improvement store.  “Well-drained” soil simply means it has a good structure, with gaps between the soil particles to allow air and water to flow easily.  You can also use compost or straw in place of soil. If you live in a particularly cold area, you may want to add an additional straw cover to your topsoil or mulch. Fill your shovel with the well-drained soil you brought in earlier and mound it up around the base of the rose bush. Keep adding more soil until you’ve covered the canes with a small mound, about 1 ft (30 cm) high and 1 ft (30 cm) wide. If you use compost for your hilling mound, add another 6 in (15 cm) of compost or straw to the top and sides of the hill. To keep your hilling material from blowing away, you can add a layer of gutter screening, chicken wire, a commercial collar, or several layers of newspapers folded in half. This will hold everything in place and ensure proper insulation over the winter. If you don’t secure your hilling materials, you may need to add more throughout the winter to replace what’s blown away. Take away the securing layer and slowly pull back the soil, mulch, or straw mound. Spread it around the garden with a rake, like compost.

SUMMARY: Use this technique on hybrid tea roses, grandifloras, and floribundas. Bring in well-drained soil from outside your garden. Use a shovel to pile 1 ft (30 cm) of soil around the base of the plant. Secure the mound in place if you’re expecting strong wind. Remove the soil gently in the spring when the ground starts to thaw.

Tell your friend how important they are to you, and that you miss them. While it may be tempting to get this talk over with as soon as possible, cutting corners could work against you. This is the opportunity to wear your heart on your sleeve. Again, avoid one-liners like, "Let's bury the hatchet" - such contrived phrases might put your friend on guard. Again, it's best if you approach the conversation without preconceived notions of how they're feeling or what they're going to say. Keep an open mind, and give them as long as they need to say whatever it is they need to.  They may need a cue from you, like "I'm sure I made you feel pretty awful," or "I'd love to be friends again. Do you think that's possible?"  Listen without interrupting, even if what they say triggers certain responses in you. You may have been ready to talk things through, but perhaps your friend wasn't quite. Both of you might need time to process what the other has said. You've made a big, important step initiating this talk - now step back a bit so your friend can consider.  This is especially important to keep in mind if you don't receive a positive response at first. In a few weeks or months, your friend may still come around.  It may be difficult to take a step back from your friendship, but it may be necessary for your friendship to heal.
