A good place to learn the ins and outs of the dog walking business is under someone who is already in it. Look for a large, local dog walking agency and contact the people there to ask if they need any help. This can be a way to both learn about the business and animal safety. In the long run, this is often the best path to your own business. You probably do not want to invest a lot of time and money into a business until you understand things like how to write a contract, how to find customers, and how to be licensed to operate a business. This is a good way to learn all of those things. Programs like dogTEC’s Dog Walking Academy will teach you about a variety of dog safety and training subjects. Though they cost money, you can earn the money back. Clients will be reassured by the fact that you have professional certification. You can parlay this into higher rates or more clients. Go to a library to check out dog books or subscribe to dog magazines. You want to know enough about dog breeds to determine which dogs you should be careful around. You should be able to understand dog body language, how to implement dog training strategies, and understand pack behavior.

A document cannot be entered into evidence unless someone lays a foundation for it. This means that the person offering the evidence must produce testimony sufficient to prove that the item is what the party claims it is.  For example, a person cannot just get up on the stand and argue that a photograph shows you hitting another car in an intersection. The witness must first establish: that the photograph is actually of the intersection in which the accident occurred; how she knows that it is the intersection (e.g., she drives through it daily), and how she knows the day and time the photograph was taken. If a witness fails to make these connections, then she has failed to lay a proper foundation, and the evidence may be excluded by the court. The judge will ultimately determine whether the witness has provided sufficient evidence. Some documents are self-authenticating. For example, domestic records that are sealed and signed, certified copies of public records, newspapers and magazines, as well as acknowledged (notarized) documents do not require a foundation. Generally, a duplicate is admissible. But you can challenge its admissibility if you argue that it is not authentic, or that only a partial duplicate of the original is being offered. For example, if in a criminal trial the prosecution sent off the murder weapon to the lab to test for fingerprints, then the defendant should look through all of the reports describing the movement of the weapon. If the defendant can find a time when the gun is not accounted for as being in police custody, then the chain of custody is broken. The defendant could move to have the evidence thrown out.

If you decide not to play these cards, it will keep other players from being able to get rid of their own cards. No one can play their low or high cards out of sequence so you have the power to stall the game and increase your chances of winning. Of course, if these numbers are your only playable cards, you can’t pass but have to play them. When the game starts, each player puts a chip into the pot. The people with the least amount of cards in their hand put an extra chip in the pot to even the playing field. Every time someone passes, they have to add a chip to the pot. The winner of the round or game gets the whole pot.  Use tokens, pennies, or even candy instead of chips. You can attribute money to the chips for real gambling or not, if you choose. To speed up the game, scrap the rule that says you can only lay down one card at a time. For example, if you have a four, three, and two of spades, you would be allowed to lay down all three as a run.  This variation only applies to one suit at a time. You can’t lay down an eight of hearts, nine of hearts, and ten of diamonds. Even if you have numerical ordering, the cards have to be in the same suit to lay them down as a run in one turn. After someone gets rid of their cards, use a piece of paper or notebook to log how many cards each player has left. Each card equals 1 point. Start a new round, and keep track at the end of each. Once someone reaches 100 points, the game is then over and the winner is whoever has the smallest score. For shorter games, only go to 50 or 25 points, depending on how much time you have. Some people order the cards starting with the ace, and going up from the two to the king as the highest card. This will only slightly change the order of the layout. On the left side of the two you will lay cards out to the two instead of the ace and on the right side the run will end at the king.

One-sentence summary -- Hold on to your sevens, sixes, and eights as long as possible. Use poker chips to raise the stakes. Allow people to play more than one card. Keep track of how many cards you have left for scoring. Use the Ace as the lowest card instead of a two.


Keep mixing them until they are evenly combined. There should be no streaks or swirls of condensed milk visible. The all-purpose cream must be chilled so that it is thick. If it is too warm, it will be too oozy and not allow the fruit cocktail to "float." If you need to, break or cut the crackers along the perforated lines so that they fit. The entire bottom of the pan should be covered. Save the remaining graham crackers for further layers. Take a graham cracker, and crumble it until it resembles a coarse grain—sort of like sand or coffee grounds. Use this to fill in any cracks between the larger graham crackers. Use a rubber spatula to scoop up a generous amount of the cream mixture, and spread it across the graham crackers. The cream mixture should be thick, sort of like custard or pudding. If it is too thin and oozy, cover it with plastic wrap and put it into the fridge for about 15 minutes. If you are using a clear pan, be sure to push some of the fruits right up against the sides. Remember to fill in the spaces between the graham crackers with more crushed graham crackers. If you still have lots of ingredients left over, you can repeat the layers in your pan until you have none left. You can also fill up a second pan. A popular garnish is to crush graham crackers into a fine crumble (like coarse sand or coffee grounds), and them spread them across the top of the cake in a grid-like fashion. Each "grid" equals on serving, and gets topped with a piece of fruit cocktail. This will allow the cream to harden up and the flavors to blend together. Slice the fruit graham with a sharp knife, and serve it with a spatula. Immediately refrigerate any leftovers.
