INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There is usually no reason to bathe a dog unless he has a skin infection or he smells bad. You can usually bathe your dog once a month to keep him smelling pleasant.If you bathe him more than that, you can cause skin irritation and he may scratch a lot.  Brush your dog’s coat often. This will help keep him clean in between baths, and it’s also good for his skin and coat.  If your dog has a skin infection, consult with your vet to see how best to wash and treat your dog. A mild shampoo formulated for dogs is the best idea. Look for a shampoo that has a neutral pH balance, around 7. Avoid artificial fragrances and colors, as these can also irritate your dog’s skin.  You should never use human shampoo to wash your dog. Dogs’ skin has a different pH balance than human skin, and human shampoo can disrupt that balance. Disrupted pH balance can foster bacteria, parasites, and viruses.  Oatmeal shampoo is a good basic choice for most dogs. If you're not sure what to use, it's a safe shampoo to start with. If your dog has a skin rash or other condition, he will often scratch, which will further irritate his skin. Tea tree shampoo can be helpful for some skin irritations. Avoid getting the shampoo into his mouth, as tea tree oil is toxic when consumed. Consult with your vet to determine what shampoo to use for a dog with skin conditions. Some shampoos can help prevent flea infestations. Look for shampoos containing pyrethrin, pyrethrum, or citrus oil.

SUMMARY: Avoid washing your dog too often. Choose the right shampoo.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You should only try this process if your shortness of breath is not caused by a medical emergency. This technique is useful for most causes of shortness of breath, aside from medical emergencies. Moving to a relaxing position can help you reduce your shortness of breath if it’s caused by heavy activity, emotional issues, anxiety, tension, or changes in weather or altitude. Sit in a chair with your feet flat against the floor. Relax your muscles and lean forward slightly, extending your chest out over your lap. Prop your elbows up on your knees so that you can rest your chin against your hands. Allow the tension to flow from your body. As an alternative, you can instead fold your arms on a table, resting your head on top of them. Stand about a footstep away from a wall. Relax your muscles and spread your feet shoulder-width apart. Allow your hips to lean back, resting your upper buttocks and lower back against the wall. Lean slightly forward with your arms either dangling or resting against your thighs. Imagine that the tension is flowing from your body. Stand in front of a stable piece of furniture, such as a large table or a sofa. Relax your muscles and spread your feet shoulder-width apart. Lean forward, placing your hands or elbows on the piece of furniture. Place your head against your arms, relaxing your neck. Breathe in through your nose, raising your arms above your head. As you breathe in, count to 4. Turn your palms outward to help stretch your chest wall. Release your breath through pursed lips, lowering your arms.  Rest for a few seconds, then repeat 4 times.  Pursed lips mean that your lips are pressed together rather than open.

SUMMARY: Try a relaxing position. Lean forward while sitting. Stand with your hips rested against the wall. Lean forward and rest your arms on a piece of furniture. Stretch your chest wall.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The pump and circulation systems must be kept in good condition to get the most out of your solar collectors. Routinely check to make sure the filter is effectively cleaning debris from your pool. Keep the drain systems clear of debris to allow the water to flow freely and easily. Check the pump frequently to confirm water is circulating properly.  Use pool water test kits to maintain the proper pH and chlorine levels. When chemicals need to be added, do it as far from the collector intake pipes as possible. The correct range for recreational use is 82-84°F and 78-80°F for more active swimming. If your temperatures are far above that, you are probably wasting energy. Buy a pool thermometer to help you monitor the temperature and reduce the pump speed when the water becomes too hot. Evaporation is responsible for the greatest loss of energy in pools. To prevent energy from being lost, keep the solar cover on the pool whenever it isn’t in use. The solar blanket will continue to collect energy from the sun and heat the water, while also preventing the heat from escaping. Pool covers block debris from entering the pool, which will reduce the pool’s cleaning time and chemical consumption.

SUMMARY:
Maintain your pool. Watch the water temperature. Use a solar blanket whenever the pool isn’t in use.
