You can find the ingredients listed in the ingredients section. Peel cucumbers and slice into long quarters. Then, using a spoon, remove all the cucumber seeds. Dice the cucumber and drain with a sieve to remove the excess liquid. Excess liquid can cause the tzatziki to be too runny. Peel and chop the amount of garlic you'll think you need. This may be just a few cloves or a whole head, and should be done to taste. Chop the garlic and put it into a food processor with olive oil. Blend the mixture until the chunks are gone. Line a sieve with coffee filters and then pour in your yogurt. Drain for about 15 minutes, stir carefully (do not disturb the filters) and allow to drain for another 15 minutes. Place the garlic, cucumber, and yogurt together in a large stainless steel or glass mixing bowl. Then add in salt and pepper to taste. Top off with the lemon juice, if desired. Beat mixture with a whisk or large spoon until all ingredients are totally mixed. You may want to taste a little and adjust the ingredients to your taste. Remember, the taste will grow a little stronger as the flavors mingle. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 to 3 hours before serving. This gives the garlic a chance to really unleash its flavor.

Get the fly to an area you can more easily swat at it, like a small, clean room with lots of flat open surfaces. Wave your hand near it to disrupt its current resting place and move it in the direction you want.  Close off interior doors in your house to contain the fly to one room. This will give it fewer objects to land on, and help you see it and keep track of its movements in a smaller space. You may also use an object like a newspaper or magazine to help shoo the fly by “fanning” or moving the air around the fly with it to help guide it in the right direction. Find a suitable surface for swatting at a fly effectively with your hands or another object. Look for hard, flat, and even surfaces that will make it easier to hit the fly.  While a vertical surface like a wall may work sufficiently, a horizontal surface like an empty tabletop typically works best, as you have the additional help of gravity when swatting downward. It helps to pick out several possible surfaces in the fly’s area that it might land on and that you can be ready to approach slowly. Be sure that any surface you have in mind is clear of items that might get disrupted or broken by a heavy swatting motion. For instance, avoid a wall with hanging pictures or a glass-topped coffee table. Once you’ve ushered a fly into the room you want, wait until it lands on one of the surfaces you’ve picked out as good for swatting. Be patient in waiting for this to happen.  Try waiting earlier or later in the day to catch a fly if you can. Houseflies are more active in the hottest part of the day, when their food sources are decomposing quickest, so they will be harder to catch resting in any one spot.  You can also try to tempt a fly to one of your ideal surfaces by placing a small amount of moist food containing proteins or sugars on it. Try a small dab of fruit jam, for example, or even a little piece of raw meat.

Make sure she's clean of any trace of blood, placental fluid, or fecal matter. Good hygiene reduces the risk of bacterial infection following birth.  You may see leaking fluids, called lochia, for several weeks after giving birth. These fluids are natural and normal, resulting from the shedding of your dog's uterine lining. Healthy lochia should be odorless, and may range in color from greenish-brown to blood-red. If your dog hasn't licked her pups clean within a few minutes of birth, you should wipe the puppies' face and nostrils with a damp, clean cloth to remove the placental sac. Give the pup back to its mother immediately. If your dog appears uninterested in cleaning her new pups, you may need to rub them with a clean cloth to stimulate breathing. You may want to take your dog outside for a pee and/or poop while another person replaces bedding with clean, dry cloths.  Continue to replace soiled bedding regularly, ensuring that the area remains clean. Keep a stash of clean bedding near your whelping box for easy access. Your dog may sleep for several hours following the birth, while her pups nurse or sleep. When she wakes, she should appear alert and interested in her new puppies.  If your dog doesn't appear interested in her new pups, this may be a sign of infection.Check her for other signs of distress, such as whining, dilated eyes, or foul-smelling discharge. If these are present, contact your veterinarian immediately. Though your dog may sleep more than usual, you should be attentive to any signs of discomfort or restlessness. If your dog doesn't want to drink water, try offering her chicken broth.
