Puppies explore their new world through their mouths. So they will probably bite you during their exploration or when they are playing. Puppies don’t know that their teeth can feel like razors piercing our skin when they gnaw on us, which is why it’s important to train your puppy not to bite at an early age. Puppies don’t know how hard their biting can be. When you are playing with your puppy, allow it to mouth on you if it is doing so already. When it bites too hard, yelp or let out a loud ‘ow!’ Doing this will startle your puppy and make it stop biting you.   Ignore your puppy for 10 to 20 seconds after it has bitten you, or walk away for 10 to 20 seconds. Then go back and resume playing. When it bites too hard again, say “ow!” again and ignore it for another 20 or so seconds. Doing this teaches your puppy that gentle play continues, while painful play stops. Once your puppy has stopped biting you very hard, you can begin to teach it to not bite even moderately hard. Repeat the steps listed above when it bites you moderately hard. Continue this process until your puppy only mouths on you gently or doesn’t mouth on you at all. If you puppy likes to ambush your feet while you walk, carry a toy in your pocket. When you puppy begins nipping at your foot, freeze, take out the toy and wave it so that it gets his attention. When your puppy has started chewing on the toy, begin walking again. Eventually your puppy will learn that chewing on toys is better than chewing on feet.  If you don’t have a toy, freeze when your puppy begins nipping at your feet. When it stops, praise it and go get it a toy. When you see your puppy chewing on something like a shoe, furniture, or sock, take the object away from him and scold him verbally. Direct its attention to something it can chew on, such as a favorite toy, and praise it when it begins chewing on that instead. Doing this teaches your puppy what objects to chew on and what not to. If your puppy continues to chew on things it shouldn’t be, you can use a taste deterrent, like bitter apple, to get it to stop chewing on those objects. You can buy taste deterrents at your local pet store. Bitter apple works well, as the bad taste will cause your puppy to stop chewing on the object immediately.

summary: Know that your puppy doesn’t intend to hurt you when she bites. Teach your puppy to be gentle. Stop your puppy from nipping at your feet. Stop your puppy from chewing on things it shouldn’t be chewing on.

Since henna is temporary, it gives you a lot more options of where you might want to display your art. There are some factors you will need to consider when making your decision:  Will the weather permit me to reveal more parts of my body so it can be shown? Do I have any formal events to attend in the next couple of days that may call for location discretion? Questions like these can help narrow down what part of your body you want the henna to be drawn. Popular locations are the hands, arms and feet. Choosing a henna design can be a little bit overwhelming. Henna designs are unlimited, even within the traditional realm.  Picking a design is easy if you have a visual representation of what you want to do; you can also play around with you own design. Go on the Internet and look up “henna designs” in your search engine. There are many different foundations that you can choose from. Most people like floral designs; some people like paisley designs, or free hand patterns. Depending on where you want to apply the henna, wear clothing that will not get in the way. If your hair might get in the way, tie it aside in the opposite direction of the henna. Make sure to clean the area with soap and water; you want to apply the henna smoothly.

summary: Figure out what part of your body you want to apply your henna. Choose a design. Get that body area ready.

Peel away the plastic wrap covering the black pudding. Do not slice it or remove the skin. With the casing damaged or removed the sausage would absorb water and become soggy. Take care not to break the skin casing when removing the outer plastic. Fill a stock pot with water and heat it until it comes to a boil. You can also use a deep pan to simmer the black pudding, though this will take longer and require regular turning. The pot or pan you use should be big enough to hold the entire pudding. Simmering will work best with thinner sausages. The bulky girth of thick sausages makes heating them in a pan impractical. Carefully place the black pudding into the boiling water. It will submerge when placed in a stock pot. If you’ve chosen to simmer the pudding in a pan, you will need to turn it every few minutes to make sure it gets cooked through.  Turn simmering sausages using long-handled tongs to keep from burning yourself. Boiling sausages will need to be checked periodically to ensure that the skin hasn’t ruptured. If it has, remove the black pudding from the water immediately, slice and finish cooking on a skillet or in the oven to salvage the flavor and texture of the sausage. Allow the pudding to boil or simmer for 6-8 minutes. You can test the consistency of the sausage as it cooks by squeezing it lightly with a pair of tongs. Once most of its firmness has given way and it has taken on a soft texture, it is ready to serve. Thicker sausages may need to be cooked longer in order to be a consistent temperature throughout.
summary: Remove the plastic wrapping from the black pudding. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put in the pudding whole. Heat for 6-8 minutes. Finished.
