In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you suspect that your dog is pregnant, it is worthwhile to visit the vet to confirm your suspicion. There are various methods a vet can use to definitively confirm pregnancy. The vet will examine the dog and pay special attention to gently feeling her tummy.  By palpation (feeling from the outside of her belly) the vet can sometime feel the womb and the outline of a puppy inside. However, this is much more difficult than it sounds because it is easy to mistake a puppy for feces in the bowel, and vice versa. The ideal time to feel a pregnancy is between day 28 - 35 after conception. Before this, there is not enough difference to feel to tell the vet she is pregnant. After this, the puppies can be mistaken for other things such as food in the gut. In late pregnancy (week 6 onwards), the vet can sometimes hear fetal heartbeats by holding a stethoscope to the dog’s belly. However, this is much more difficult than for human babies because of the rustling of the dog's fur coat and the fact that dogs have round, not flat, tummies. The gold standard to test for pregnancy is for your vet to run a blood test that looks for the presence of a pregnancy hormone called Relaxin.   The hormone is only reliably present after day 28 of the pregnancy. If the test is run before this date it is possible to get falsely negative results, where you believe the bitch isn't pregnant when she is.   A positive result at any point, even before day 28, does confirm pregnancy. The method that can confirm pregnancy the earliest is an ultrasound.  A skilled ultrasound operator can pick up puppies on the scanner from around day 16 onward.   In a docile bitch the scan can be done without sedation. The operator will need to clip fur on the tummy of very furry dogs so that the probe can make good contact with her skin. With the widespread use of ultrasound, the need for x-rays in pregnancy has decreased. The main reason to x-ray a pregnant bitch is in late pregnancy, to count how many puppies are present in the womb. This information is useful so that the owner knows when all puppies have been safely born.  It can alert an owner that the bitch's labor has stopped but she still has a puppy inside.
Summary: Visit a veterinarian. Get a physical examination. Check for heartbeats. Perform a blood test. Have an ultrasound. Ask about getting an x-ray.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Stand tall with your back straight and your legs about hip-width apart. Position yourselves about 6 in (15 cm) apart with your feet slightly off center from each other. Keeping your body close to your partner’s will help you stay together while you’re dancing. Wrap your right arm loosely around your partner’s side under their left arm. Then, position your right hand at the middle of their left shoulder blade, keeping your palm flat. Don’t press down into their skin. Keep your hand soft against their shoulder blade. Lay your left arm over your partner’s right arm and put your left hand just above their right bicep. Gently grip their arm so that it will be easier to follow their movement. Don’t dig your fingers into their bicep or squeeze down too hard. Hold your arm out to the side at about shoulder level. Use a firm but comfortable grip to hold your partner’s hand. Keep your arm loose with your elbow slightly bent.  If you’re the lead, use your left arm to hold your partner’s hand. If you’re following, use your right arm. You don’t want to be perfectly centered because it will make it hard for you to see. Both partners should be about a step to the left rather than directly centered. Make sure you can see over your partner’s right shoulder so you’ll be aware of your surroundings. If you can’t see over their shoulder, take another step to your left.
Summary: Stand close to your partner and face them. Put your right hand on your partner’s left shoulder blade if leading. Place your left hand above the lead’s right bicep if you’re following. Use your free hand to hold your partner’s hand. Stand to the left so you can see over your partner’s right shoulder.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When there is a good chance that your area will be affected by a tsunami, your local authorities will likely issue a warning to alert residents. They'll also tell you if you have to evacuate based on where your home or school is located. It's important to follow those instructions carefully and as quickly as possible. Because you've practiced your evacuation route with your family, you should know exactly where to go and how to get there.  Official tsunami warnings and evacuation orders are usually shared via TV or radio news. You can also find information on the internet. If you're away from home at the beach or other low-lying areas when a tsunami warning is issued, move inland immediately. If possible, run uphill so you reach higher ground where the waves can't reach you. Don't ever stay to watch a tsunami. If you're close enough to see a wave, you're probably close to run away from it. If you can't escape to higher ground quickly enough, the best option is to climb to the roof of a tall, sturdy building or a tree. Trees can be uprooted during a tsunami, though, so be sure to choose one that is large and strong. When you're evacuating, you must make sure that you've accounted for all of the family members who live with you, including your parents, siblings, and grandparents. However, make sure that you find all of your pets as well. If a situation is dangerous for you, it's dangerous for your animals—and they usually don't have the means to protect themselves. To avoid losing your pets during an evacuation or tsunami situation, keep animals on leashes or in carriers. Even if your home is in an area that's not vulnerable to the tsunami, make sure to watch them so they don't wander off. If you live in a coastal area, you may actually feel the earthquakes that cause the waves. It's extremely easy to get injured in an earthquake, so if you feel the ground shaking for more than 20 seconds, drop to the ground and take cover under a desk or table, making sure to hold on tightly. As soon as the shaking stops, round up your family and evacuate as quickly as possible. The earthquake is usually a sign that a tsunami is only a few minutes away. A tsunami can cause destruction to buildings, power lines, and other items. Make sure to avoid buildings from which heavy objects might fall or large trees that may be uprooted or lose branches. Don't go near downed power lines either because they may be live and you could electrocute yourself. Bridges can become unstable during the earthquakes that accompany tsunamis, so take care if you need to cross any when you're evacuating.
Summary:
Pay attention to official evacuation orders. Remember your pets. Protect yourself from an earthquake. Avoid hazards as you evacuate.
