INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Turn your jeans inside out and put them on. Pinch the waistband on each side until you get the right fit in the waist. Try to pinch an equal amount on both sides so that your jeans will sit evenly after the alteration. You can secure the pinched fabric with a large safety pin to help you as you proceed to the next step. Carefully put the pins in the waistband on each side where you have pinched the fabric, as close to your waist as possible to keep the jeans snug. Be careful not to pin your finger. Keeping pinning down the sides of the jeans where you can pinch out loose fabric. Pin as far down as you would like, depending on how you would like the jeans to fit. You can pinch and pin just along the waist, down to the mid-thigh, or even all the way down to your knee if you want a extra skinny fit. Carefully take your jeans off. Sew each side of the jeans along the pinned line. Use a sturdy denim needle, a longer stitch length than normal, and higher tension. Go over the stitches again with a backstitch (reversing back over your stitches) at the beginning and end to secure the stitching in place. Try a stitch length of 2 and a thread tension of 4 to start. If that doesn’t work, you can easily take out the stitching with a seam ripper and try again with different settings. Don’t be afraid to experiment until you are happy with how your seam looks. Try your jeans on again and check the fit. You can always take your stitching out and try again if there is something off. If you are happy with the fit, but feel like excess fabric inside the jeans is too bulky, you can cut it out. Leave about a 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) border outside the stitching to prevent the fabric from unravelling. Otherwise, you can leave the fabric in. You can also fold the excess fabric to one side and sew the end down so it lies flat inside when you wear them.

SUMMARY: Put your jeans on inside out and pinch the waist at the sides until it fits. Secure the excess fabric on both sides with straight pins. Sew next to your pins with a single straight stitch. Turn your jeans right side out and try them on.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Although your Havana rabbit should be healthy with a proper diet and habitat, she should be taken in once a year to the veterinarian for a check-up. Your vet will give her a physical examination to make sure she is growing properly, is healthy overall, and that her teeth are growing in correctly and aren't too long. If her teeth are too long, she may need to have her teeth trimmed by your vet to ensure she can eat correctly and so they won't cause problems. If you are not planning on breeding your rabbit, you should have her spayed (or neutered if your rabbit is male). This should be done when she is four to six months old. This will help prevent unwanted breeding as well as stop aggressive behaviors and prevent cancer or infections in her reproductive system. Although you take care of your rabbit, she may get sick. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, you should take her to the vet immediately. Common symptoms to look out for that signal that you rabbit may be sick include:  Decrease or halt in appetite or water consumption Diarrhea Lack of defecating for 24 hours Discharge from the eyes or nasal passage Drooling, which may be a sign of overgrown teeth Swelling or reddening of the skin Loss of the fur anywhere on her body Inability to use her back legs, which makes it difficult for her to hop or move her back legs Dark or red urine Fever, which is a temperature of more than 105 °F

SUMMARY:
Have regular checkups. Spay or neuter your pet. Look for common symptoms of sickness.
