Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clean your pet's bedding. Eradicate fleas in your home. Make a natural spray. Make a flea trap.

Answer: Fleas can live for days or even weeks in carpeting and pet bedding. Wash all bedding and linens your pet has touched with hot water, and dry them using the hot cycle. You should do this a few times as you are fighting the infestation.  This is so your pet doesn't get re-infested with fleas from her environment as you are working on getting rid of them. You should wash any other materials that your pet has come into contact with, including blankets and pillows. Just like your pet's bedding, fleas and ticks can live in carpet for a long time. Fleas lay eggs on your pet and then the eggs drop off their skin into the carpet and other fabrics in your pet's environment. In order to keep the fleas from hatching, you need to get rid of the flea eggs and any fleas that may be in your carpet. To do this, vacuum your house extremely well. Make sure you vacuum off upholstery and fabric, crevices in your furniture, corners of the room, and any place that your pet has been. Once you vacuum and launder all washable materials, you can make a spray similar to your bathing solution to spray on your carpet and pet bedding to help get rid of the fleas. To make this solution, combine a gallon of ACV, 1/2 gallon of water, 16 ounces of lemon juice, and 8 ounces (230 g) of witch hazel in a large tub. Fill a large spray bottle with the solution. Spray every portion of your house, including carpets, wood floors, crevices and corners, windowsills, and furniture in a thick coating of the spray.  You may need to repeat this method for 2-7 days depending on how bad your flea infestation is. If you are just trying to prevent infestation, you can do this once a month.  Let the spray dry before you return objects to the wet areas. If you don't have a really bad flea problem but want to catch any fleas that might be lurking in your home, you can try a flea trap. Position a few night lights around the room in outlets close to the floor. Under each light, place a dish of water that has cap full of dish soap poured into it.  Check the dish every morning for dead fleas. Throw out the fleas and fill the dish with fresh soapy water every night. You can use this method to check how well the natural spray is working. Once there are no more fleas in the dish, you can stop the spray treatments. You can use tea light candles for this method as well, but you have to be around the flea trap all night so you don't risk the possibility of a fire.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check the horse’s stall for damage. Handle the horse from the ground to assess its basic temperament. Ride the horse to observe how it moves and responds to guidance. Ask a vet to conduct a pre-purchase exam on the horse.

Answer: A good temperament is one of the most important features in a horse. Search the wooden railing and walls in the stable for any signs of kick marks and chewing. These indicate an unruly horse or a bad temperament.  Avoid purchasing a bad-tempered horse unless you are an experienced rider and trainer. If the owner doesn’t offer to show you the stables, ask them to give you a tour. Bring a knowledgeable friend with you to meet the horse and view its stall if you are not an experienced horse owner. Ask the owner of the horse if you can brush, lead, saddle, and bridle it. This is a good way to observe how it responds to being handled. If you are unable to saddle and bridle the horse, it is best not to proceed with the purchase, unless you plan to train the horse yourself.  Check for any blemishes on the horse while you brush it. If you are concerned about any marks, ask a vet to give you a second opinion. If the horse seems nervous around you, ask the owner to stand beside you to help settle the horse. Ride the horse slowly at first to give you and the horse time to get to know each other. Once you feel comfortable on the horse, attempt to turn in different directions and increase the pace to watch how the horse acts in different situations. Look for a horse that responds quickly and accurately to your aids and is comfortable in different situations. Ride the horse in a ring at first and then venture to open fields, trails, and roads. This allows you to observe how the horse responds to different environments. This is a great way to find out about any injuries, diseases, or infections that you are unaware of and can assist you in making an informed purchasing decision. An examination will usually between cost between $150 and $600. Contact your local equine vet to make an appointment. If you are buying an expensive horse or a competitive horse, ask for an examination that includes x-rays.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fill in the gaps or sand off the excess glue. Assemble the parts to complete your model. Wait for the glue to dry and cure. Paint the model, if needed, or make any touch-ups. Apply any decals, if needed.

Answer:
Remove any tape, clothespins, or rubber bands first. Sand excess glue off with a file or a craft blade. Fill in any remaining gaps with modeling or epoxy putty. Use a mini metal spatula to smooth the putty down.  Wait until the putty cures before moving on. If the putty still is not smooth, you can sand it down with a file. If you painted your model previously, you will need to paint over the putty so that it blends in. Take out the instructions that came with your kit. Read through the instructions once more, then glue the individual parts together to build the model. Remember to apply the glue or cement to both parts before pressing them together. You may have to do this in several stages by completing smaller parts first, then assembling them into larger parts. How long this takes depends on the product that you are using, so read the instructions label carefully. Most model glues and cements will have 2 drying times: a handling time and a curing time. In this case, you should refer to the curing time. If you handle your model before the glue or cement is done curing, the model may fall apart. If you didn't paint your model earlier, now is the time to do so. If you already painted your model, inspect it carefully and note any areas with chipped or scratched paint. Fill these areas in using a small brush and matching paint. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on. How you do this depends on the brand that you are using, so read the instructions carefully. In most cases, you'll need to dip the decal in water, then set it aside for 20 seconds. After that, you'll slide the decal off with tweezers, and place it onto the model. Trim the decals down with scissors before you begin. This will make them easier to work with and reduce seams and borders.
