Q: Mothers usually care for newborn puppies including keeping them very clean. If at all possible leave the bathing of a newborn puppy to its mother for the first four weeks. Newborn puppies do not really need to be bathed at all, so resist the urge to try to bathe them. Make sure to keep the space for the mother and puppies clean.  Line the space with newspapers, cloth, or towels and change them regularly. Use a material that does not contain dyes or chemicals. The mother will take care of all the feeding and removing waste for the first month or so. Just give her a nice clean space. Check to make sure the mother cleans her puppies. In rare cases a mother may abandon or neglect some puppies.  Only clean a newborn puppy if the mother is not cleaning it herself.
A: Leave newborn puppies with their mother. Keep the area clean. Check in regularly.

Q: You’ll need an account to bid on items and track your purchases. Creating an account is free, and only requires a name and email address. In order to buy, you’ll need to enter contact information. Search for the item or type of item you are looking for in the Search bar. If there are a lot of returns, try refining your search using the Advanced Search tool. If you don’t know exactly what kind of item you want, you can browse eBay listings by category to see all of the items listed. When you find the item that interests you, read the listing completely. Does it tell you everything that you need to know? Is it clear, detailed, and easy to understand? Does the listing tell you if the item is new or used? If these things are not clear, or you have questions, e-mail the seller and ask for clarification. What the seller tells you becomes part of the sale deal and provides a reason for return if the seller misleads you. It is better to be aware of everything than to throw away money in the hope the item will live up to your expectations. Check product listings and other web sources to ensure that what is described in the eBay listing is what you are looking for. Many products have similar models with different features, so it pays to be well-informed about the product you are looking at. If photos are provided, look closely at them. Are there any features that stand out? If you can enlarge the photos, do so. There is also no harm in e-mailing the seller for extra photos if desired, along with any questions you have about the images. Pay extra attention to the condition of the item in the photos. Are they only showing the picture of the box? You should be able to see the condition of the item in detail. This is a trap for many buyers. The item seems like a great price -- until the shipping and handling costs are factored in. If they are not displayed, e-mail for the costs to your part of the world. Also be aware that some sellers will not ship to some locations. Overall feedback and comments are a good reflection of the seller's good faith, successful previous sales and even speed of shipping. Anything above 95% is usually an indication that the seller is good - some negative feedback is to be expected in the world of sales and may simply be a reflection of a difficult customer or someone who had expectations that were unrealistic. Check how many transactions the seller has performed. While it may not be wrong to do business with someone with only a few transactions (they may be new!), you are more likely to receive good service from sellers that have performed a large number of sales. A seller with a lot of sales will usually process your order faster and work to ensure that you are satisfied. PayPal is one of the most common payment methods on eBay, as payments can be processed immediately. If you don’t have a PayPal account, it is recommended that you set one up before you begin bidding to make the process smoother. Don’t purchase from sellers who only accept cash. Avoid these sellers. This will give you the average prices paid for the item in the past which lets you make a comparison and gives you a notion whether the "Buy It Now" price or the auction listing prices are fair or not. If you are bidding, as opposed to buying immediately, it gives you an indication of how much you should be willing to bid.  You can perform a Completed Listings search by clicking the "Advanced" link next to the search bar. Check the "Completed listings" box in the "Search including" section. Enter in your search keywords and then click the Search button. Listings in red will be completed listings.
A: Register for an eBay account. Find an item that interests you. Learn all you can about the listing. Research the item through other sources. Use the photos. Check for shipping and handling prices. Check the seller's feedback. Check payment methods. Do a "Completed Listings" search of the particular item.

Q: After a month or so of dating, you may want to take the relationship to the next level. This can be complicated if a child is involved and you and your partner need to be able to communicate openly about where things are headed.  Define the terms of the relationship. All relationships come with a set of expectations that develop naturally over time. After a certain point, however, you should have an open discussion about what you both expect. How serious are you about one another? Can you picture a future with this person? If so, how should you proceed? If not, is it worth it to continue dating for the time being? In terms of physical intimacy, a child can complicate things. Sex may have to occur when the child is out of the house and it may not be possible for you spend the night. Your partner might not be comfortable having you stay overnight until you've been together for awhile. You want to make sure you're respectful of your partner's wishes and boundaries. If you're in a serious relationship and your partner as a child, you should have a talk about the future. You need to know where you stand in the frame of your partner's family.  Do you see yourself ultimately ending up with your partner? Do the two of you want the same things in regards to family and career? Do you share similar values about raising children? Can any big differences between the two of you be reconciled in a healthy manner? In the event you get engaged or married, how do you factor into the child's life? Would you be a step parent? Would you be granted any legal rights in regards to custody? Would the child refer to you as "Mom" or "Dad" or keep using your first name? Meet the ex. At some point, your partner's co-parent will want to meet you. He or she will be invested in what kind of person you are as you'll be spending a lot of time with his or her child. Talk to your partner about meeting his or her ex and what the expectations are for your behavior during this meeting. In the event you marry or become engaged, you'll become a step parent to the child. You need to make sure you're ready for this kind of commitment.  Remember, needs should come before wants. Once you're a step parent, you're no longer the child's friend. You need to be able to set rules and encourage the child to their chores and homework and go to bed on time.  You and your partner will need to start creating new family traditions. Once you become a step parent, there will be a whole new family unit. To help the child feel like the three of you are a family, introduce new activities like board game nights, family dinners, and special games and events around the holiday season.  Communicate openly with your partner. It's unlikely to the two of you will always be on the same page in regards to parenting. You should keep communication open throughout the course of your relationship so that any disputes can be resolved smoothly.
A:
Talk to your partner about taking the relationship forward. Have a serious discussion about the future. Consider becoming a step parent.
