In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you decide to bring a new pet into your home, you may want to consider how your current pets will react to a new addition. Think about how your current pets might react to a new pet and use this information to help inform your decision. Considering how your pets might react will also help you to develop a plan for introducing the new pets into your home. For example, if you have dogs and you are thinking about bringing a new cat into your home, how might the dogs react? Are they familiar with cats? Have you ever had a cat before? If so, how did your dogs act around the cats? Did they chase the cats or ignore them? Coming into a new home is a frightening experience for a pet, so you should create a safe, quiet space for your new pet to escape to when necessary. You may use a spare bedroom, a quiet corner of your living room, or a hallway. Whatever area you choose, make sure that you make it a safe space where your new pet can escape to if needed.  For example, if you are bringing home a new cat, you could place a litter box and some food and water in a room where people seldom go. Allow your new cat to stay in this room for the first week in your home to get used to the sounds and smells of her new home. During this time, let your dog sniff the door and get used to the smell of the cat. This will be helpful when you introduce them to each other. Make sure that you visit your new pet often and allow your new pet some time to roam the house as well. Keep in mind that providing a safe space or room should only be a temporary measure to help your pets get acquainted with each other. Baby gates are a great way to allow your cat and dog to coexist. By having baby gates placed in a few doorways in your home, you can prevent your dog from going into areas where you keep your cat’s food, water, and litter boxes. Baby gates also provide an easy way for your cat to escape from your dog if necessary. If your cat is older and cannot jump the gate, try placing the gate higher up so that your cat can fit under it but your dog cannot.
Summary: Consider your current pets. Prepare a room or safe area for your new pet. Put up baby gates.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a large, flower-shaped cookie cutter to trace flower shapes onto colorful cardstock. Cut the shapes out with a pair of scissors when you are done. How many shapes you trace is up to you.  Don't use construction paper. It won't be sturdy enough. If you can't find cardstock, use poster paper instead. You can draw simple flower shapes instead. You will need 5 to 6 petals for each flower. Make sure that they are big enough to hold your chocolates. Draw a line of hot glue down the center of the flower, from top to bottom. Press the stick into the glue, so that it sticks out of the bottom of the flower. You want the stick supporting the entire back of the flower, otherwise it will flop over.  If you don't have hot glue, you can use tape instead. If you can't find green florist sticks, get some short, thin dowels or wooden skewers, and paint them green instead. You can also use a glue dot instead. You can find rolls of glue dots in an arts and crafts store. Do not use actual glue for this. Use a small chocolate that is no larger than 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) Small, chocolate squares work the best for this. Use the same color for each petal, and a different color for the center. You can match the color of the chocolates to the paper, or you can use a different color. You don't really have to do this, but it will make the flowers look more interesting. Cut some leaf shapes out of green cardstock, then glue 1 to 2 leaves to the center of each stem. If you need to, use a serrated knife to trim the foam down so that it fits into the vase. If you can't find floral foam, you can use vase filler or regular Styrofoam instead. Arrange the flowers in staggered rows. Push the ones in the first row as far down into the foam as you can, and the ones in the last row just a little bit. This will give your bouquet some varieties in height.
Summary:
Cut flower shapes onto colored cardstock. Hot glue a green florist stick to the back of each flower. Place a piece of double-sided tape onto each petal and flower center. Press a small, wrapped chocolate onto each petal and flower center. Consider adding some paper leaves to the sticks. Place a piece of floral foam into a vase. Stick the flowers into the foam.
