INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stripping pulls out the outer guard of hairs once the hairs “blow”—or die and start to shed off. Only strip once the coat is blown, which will make hair removal much easier and be less likely to hurt your Westie. Make stripping a regular part of grooming your Westie. If you don’t strip your Westie regularly, you may need to strip all the way down to his undercoat layer, which can leave him looking bare. To strip your Westie, you’ll need to pull out dead hair with your fingers. Be aware that this can cause your Westie pain or discomfort if you don’t know what you’re doing. Do not try to pull out hairs that are still growing out of the skin. Grasp hairs that are sticking out further than other ones and gently pull on the hairs. If the hairs do not come out easily, then stop pulling. The hairs may not be ready to come out yet. Always make sure to pull out hairs from the coat in the direction that your Westie’s fur is growing to make pulling out dead hairs easier and reduce discomfort for your dog. Go with the grain of your Westie's fur rather than against it. If you find the coat is slippery or you are having trouble grasping hairs, then you can apply a bit of chalk to your hands and fingers. The chalk will help you keep a firmer grip on the hair and make it much easier to pull out dead hairs.

SUMMARY: Strip your Westie’s coat when you notice dead hairs. Use your fingers to pull out dead hairs from your Westie's coat. Go with the grain of your Westie’s fur. Apply chalk to your fingers if grasping hairs is difficult.

Q: Choose one with a hood.  You can find them on Pinterest. Print them off. Fold it over and cut across a folded piece of paper. Pin it to the fabric and cut through two layers of fabric, so that you have the front and back of the wings. Sew up the remaining seams by hand.  Cut a several five inch wide black strips in that length. Sew them together and stuff them with batting to make the tail.   Glue them on cardboard. Color slits into the center with black permanent marker. Allow them to dry before you wear the outfit.

Sew the wings to the back of the black sweatsuit. Measure the distance from your waist to the ground. Add the forked end of the tail by sewing on pieces of extra fabric. Repeat the template, cutting and stuffing process with two horns on each side of the hood of the sweatsuit. Cut out green eyes from construction paper.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Jesus fed the sick, poor, and downtrodden on his journey to spread the word of God. When you do acts of good like help at a shelter or soup kitchen, it's part of being a Christian. Search online for shelters in your area and give them a call during business hours to inquire about opportunities to volunteer. In Proverbs 21:13 it says "Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered." The church that you go to will probably be involved in some programs in your town to help others. Some churches will take missions to go to poorer countries and help the people there and disaster response, while others concentrate on improving the neighborhood. Call your local church and inquire about any volunteer opportunities available.  The Bowery Mission in New York City is one example of a church with volunteer opportunities to help the homeless. Things that they might have you do is feed the poor, clean up a community space, or help fix up or repair things at the church itself. In Galatians 3:28 it says, "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This can be interpreted to mean that regardless of their beliefs or nationalities, you should treat all people with dignity and respect. Instead of spreading messages of hate because your theologies differ, extend the olive branch and talk to those that don't share the same belief systems.  Treat those in the LGBT community with dignity and respect as they are also God's children. Discrimination, racism, and sexism violate the word of God. You can help simply by listening to family or friends when they are going through rough times. Be understanding and caring to those that need the help, and try to refrain from judgment. Think of simple ways to improve the lives of those around you. You can also help in other ways like stopping for someone who needs assistance on the road or helping an elderly person with their groceries.

SUMMARY:
Volunteer at a local homeless shelter or soup kitchen. Volunteer at your church. Treat people with dignity and respect. Help people who need it.
