Problem: Article: Once the male dog has been deemed acceptable for breeding his semen will need to be collected. Male dogs will become aroused in the presence of a female dog in heat, which is the prime time her body emits pheromones or chemicals that excite the males. When he attempts to mount, or breed, with the female the penis is redirected into an artificial vagina into which he ejaculates.  In some cases a female at the correct stage of heat is not available. Frozen cotton swabs that were wiped in the vagina of a female dog at the peak of heat can be thawed and swiped on the tail end of any dog, which causes the male dog to respond. In some cases semen can be collected and stored before a dog dies to be made available after his death; in others injury may make it impossible for a male dog to breed naturally yet he may still be able to produce semen. After the semen is collected, the sperm cells in it will be examined under a microscope to make sure they are normal. This means that there will be sufficient numbers, shape, and activity. Chilled semen is used within 24 hours or else it will need to be frozen. Semen is stored in liquid nitrogen containers at subzero temperatures. This way semen can be used years later. The best success rate comes from use of fresh semen. With chilled semen the success rate drops to 59-80% and with frozen it falls to 52-60%.
Summary: Collect the male dog's semen. Have the semen evaluated. Chill or freeze semen that it not used immediately.

Problem: Article: Get in a good brushing session in the morning, after lunch, and before bedtime. Make sure that you brush your teeth, gum line, and gums. Sing the “Happy Birthday” song in your head while brushing to make sure that you’ve gone long enough. Brushing your teeth regularly and correctly can reduce bad bacteria and plaque in your mouth.  If you have a young child who suffers from rotting teeth, you may want to supervise their brushing. Over-brushing can wear down your teeth over time and lead to cavities. Try not to brush your teeth more than 3 times per day, unless your dentist suggests otherwise. Flossing removes hidden food and plaque between your teeth. It also helps protect your gums from gingivitis, which can cause rotting teeth. Try to floss at least once a day. Rinsing your mouth with mouthwash after brushing is also a good way to kill off the bad bacteria in your mouth. Be aware that most mouthwashes are not okay for children to use, even if they suffer from rotting teeth. Sugars create nasty bacteria in your mouth that eat away at your teeth’s outer surface. Instead of drinking sodas or juices, choose water or unsweetened tea. Avoid sugary snacks and go with fresh fruits and veggies. Replace sugary candies in your diet with sugar-free gum.
Summary: Brush your teeth 3 times daily. Floss and use mouthwash before and after brushing. Limit your consumption of sugary treats or drinks.

Problem: Article: You don’t want to exactly copy anyone else’s style, but you should pay attention to what other people are wearing. What styles are you most drawn to? Once you start paying attention to what you like, you’ll know whether you are more into a crisp preppy look or if you favor a more laid-back street-style vibe. Identifying your style can help you be more fashionable. If you’re slender, you might want to wear horizontal stripes and dress in lighter colors to make you look more muscular. If you’re broad across the middle, dark colors can make you appear slimmer, and a belt will make your waist appear smaller. If you have an athletic body type, wear slim-fitting shirts and straight-leg jeans to show off your muscular figure. If you have an "average" build, you can wear almost anything — just avoid loose or saggy clothing. Check out fashion magazines, style blogs, Pinterest boards, and pictures of celebrities to get ideas of the kind of style you’re into. Remember that you’ll be wearing these looks to class, so look for styles that are appropriate for school. George Clooney might look great in a tuxedo, but it might not be the right outfit for history class. Sometimes the only way to know if something looks good on you is just to wear it. You might be all about the skater vibe, only to discover that you don’t like the way it looks on you. On the other hand, that shirt that your aunt got you might not seem like your style at first, but it could grow to become your favorite after you pair it with the perfect jeans. Middle school is all about finding yourself, so don’t be afraid to experiment with your look. You should know the difference between what you really like and what’s a trend right now. Think about looks from previous decades that look really dated. You probably wouldn’t wear wide-legged skater jeans from the 90s, or cut your hair in a mullet in the 80s today. Classic pieces like well-fitting jeans and button-down shirts or t-shirts are always in style.
Summary:
Pay attention to what other people are wearing. Know what looks good on your body type. Find inspiration in magazines and online. Be willing to experiment. Don’t fall victim to trends.
