You owe me !!
“The relationship between the two is made apparent early in the story, and elaboratFrancis is a rich baby-faced gentleman who has almost no self-confidence with women or hit the time of their marriage was a beautiful model that made a handsome amount of money and was used to her gant lifestyle. She marrir his money, no other reason, and it is stated clearly later that she would never leave him because of that, and also because at her age if she was to leave him she could do no better. Francis on the other hand has the looks and money to be able to shop around for a new partner had he wished to do so, yet he didn’t have the nand risk losing the beautiful, if not controlling wife he had.”
Stories do not need to is of anything. They do inof things. From The Epic of Gilgamesh, for example, we know something of the people who lived in the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the second and third millenniums BCE. We know they celebrated ag named Gilgamesh; we know they believed in many gods; we know they were self-conscious of their tion of the natural world; and we know they were literate. These things we can fix — or establish definitely. But stories also remind us of things we cannot fix — of what it means to be human. They reflect our will to understand whot understand, and reconcile us to mortality.
We read The Epic of Gilgamesh, fnd years after it was written, in part because we are scholars, or pseudo-scholars, and wish to learn something about h.

There is an infinite continuity of shading, and breaking it down into divisions with names distracts the attention from its subtlety” (27). Similarly, the mind’s sensitivity to the meaning of life is impaired by fixed notions or perspectives ont means to be human. There is an infinite contineaning that can be comprehended only by seeing again, for ourselves. We read stories — and reading is a kind of re-telling — not to learn what is known but to kn cannot be known, for it is in the middle of it.
To see for ourselves the meaningtory, we need, first of all, to look carefully at what happens in the story; that is, we need to look at it as if the actions and people it describes actually took place or existed. We can articulate the questy a character’s actions and discuss the implications of their consequences. But we need to consider, too, how a story is put together — how it uses the cnguage, of events with beginnings and endings, of description, of character, and of storytelling itself to reawaken our sensitivity to the real world. The real world is the world withoventions, the unnameable, unrepresentable world — in ity of action, its shadings and blurrings of character, its indecipherable patterns of being. The stories that mean most to us bring us back to our owgible and yet immeasurably meaningful lives.

Dog tick removal
Ticks can be irritating for you and your dog. There are many different diseases that ticks are known to carry, and they can be hazardous to the health of your canine friend. If you see your dog scratching a spot repeatedly, you should certainly check it out. You also should be brushing your dog regularly and inspecting its fur. When you do this look for ticks.
Ticks are pea-sized insects that attach themselves to the skin of your dog. And once they grab ahold, they are difficult to remove. But you need to remove them because ticks are known to carry diseases and can be harmful to your pet. Ticks are known to carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Canine Ehrlichiosis, Canine Babesiosus, and Lyme Disease. Each of these can be problematic for the long-term health of your pet.
If you find a tick on your dog, you should first find the spot and hold a cotton swab full of mineral oil against the tick completely. This will begin the process of easing the release of the tick on your dog. Then you’ll want to use tweezers to pinch the tick off your dog. With the tweezers you should pinch the skin around the tick. The tick grasps its head against the dog’s skin face first. So you need to grab the head of the tick deep in your dog’s skin and lift it out.
The tick removal process can be very painful for your dog. You need to be aware of that. Because this is so difficult for a pet, you should certainly give your pet a treat as soon as the entire process is over, so it won’t be as scared when it has to be done again.
You should take some steps to make sure your pet doesn’t get as many ticks. You can do this by getting a tick collar that is designed to keep ticks away, walking your dog in a clear area as ticks like wooded areas, and check out you and your dog regularly for ticks.

Dogs need dental care too!
Every day dogs are suffering due to poor dental hygiene, diet, neglect and the ignorance of owners.
Many dogs are suffering needlessly every day due to poor dental health while their owners enjoy the benefits of daily oral hygiene. The cause of this isn’t so much a neglectful nature on the part of the owner but an ignorance concerning the importance of proper dental care in dogs.
Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most common problems seen by veterinarians. The disease begins by plaque build up on the teeth of the dog. Plaque actually harbors the bacteria that infect the gum tissue and roots of teeth. When the plaque build up has become severe enough, infection sets in and tooth loss begins.
If bacteria enter the bloodstream through the blood vessels in the gums and teeth, major organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys can become affected.
Often the first symptom an owner notices is persistent bad breath. Many owners will come in complaining that their dog’s breath could curdle milk at fifty paces yet have never even opened the pet’s mouth to take a look at what the problem could be.
Other symptoms seen with periodontal disease are a loss of weight or appetite, a difficulty in chewing food and pawing or rubbing at the mouth. Plaque is difficult to see unless stained but tartar can be seen by anyone. It is a hard, brown or green deposit that is often seen on the outside of a dog’s molars. It often reminds people of barnacles on ships even though the tartar is of a smoother nature. Many times while doing a dental it is found that the only thing holding a dog’s teeth in IS the tartar.
Diet is often a major factor in the development of tartar. Statistics show dogs given only canned dog food or table scraps have a much higher incidence of periodontal disease. Dry dog food or kibble is best for most dogs. Biscuits and the new types of foods produced specifically for dental problems in dogs can decrease the risks and affects of tartar build up. Science Diet and the Iams/Eukanuba companies are just two who make these specially formulated dry foods.
The first thing to determine if your dog has any type of periodontal disease is to have him checked out thoroughly by your personal veterinarian. If he finds that your dog does indeed have a dental problem, he will usually recommend having an actual dental cleaning done. Due to the fact cleaning and scaling of the teeth require work both above and below the gum line, a general anesthetic is usually called for.
Thanks to advancements in recent years, anesthesia risks have lowered greatly. Even the extremely old dog can often be anesthetized with little concern.
While the dog is under, a tube will be placed into his trachea to allow breathing. This tube has an inflatable cuff on it that keeps the water needed for flushing during the procedure from going into the lungs.
After the tub is in place, the doctor will begin scraping the tartar and plaque off with both an electric machine as well as hand held dental instruments.
Any excessively loose teeth will be removed and the doctor will often us a red stain to make sure all the plaque has been gotten rid of. Once these things have been done, an abrasive dental paste will be applied with a machine that has a rotating head. This paste polishes the teeth and will smooth scratches so plaque won’t have as many places to adhere to.
It is usual procedure to send the dog home that day with instructions for follow up and preventative care given to the owner. Preventative care includes a small soft toothbrush, oral paste or gel and often an antibacterial rinse. If the infection was really sever, oral antibiotics will also be sent home with the dog.
Many owners balk at the idea of brushing their pet’s teeth. They feel it is some involved procedure that the dog is going to pitch a fit over. So often the dog doesn’t really mind the brushing.
The best course of action is to start with a puppy on a preventative routine so he becomes accustomed to having his teeth brushed. Older dogs may not ever become accustomed but will usually tolerate it. The keys to being able to care for your dog’s teeth are patience, practice, and lavish praise. By encouraging proper behavior in the dog, it is possible for both of you to look on dental time as quality time spent together.

Pet bath
Step
1
Place the dog in a bathtub or the sink where it has plenty of room. You may want to put the dog on a leash and tie the leash to an object near the sink. This prevents the dog from running off or moving around while you are bathing him.
Step
2
Wet the dog thoroughly. If water runs into her eyes, gently rub them.
Step
3
Apply shampoo to the dog. First pat a little bit of shampoo on his head, his back and his rear. Clean under the belly and rib cage too. Then, massage the shampoo into the dog’s hair. If shampoo gets into your dog’s eyes, simply pour some water over his head and rub his eyes with a dry towel.
Step
4
Clean your dog’s ears. The ears usually are very oily and dirty. Use shampoo to thoroughly rub the inside and outside.
Step
5
Wash the backside of your dog. Make sure you clean the area where the dog sits (the back of the legs).
Step
6
Rinse the shampoo from the dog. If you leave any shampoo in her coat, you will have difficulty when you groom the dog after its bath.

Bad breath in dogs
Dental disease can give your dog bad breath. There may be other problems relating to bad breath but the most common cause of which is dental disease. It is important to eradicate this problem as your pet will experience pain and thus end up eating less. We can imagine the consequences following this.
Dental disease occurs in different stages. The first stage is caused by plaque build up on the teeth. This plaque nourishes the mouth bacteria which causes the bad breath. The next stage happens when plaque becomes calculus with mineral salts stuck on it. This is seen as brownish deposits on the gum margin. Calculus causes gum inflammation. This is seen when the tooth-gum margin is red and bleeds whenever you touch it.
The calculus stage is your pet’s last chance at having its tooth saved. Calculus will cause the ligaments and tissue holding the teeth to weaken. The tooth becomes loose and eventually falls out. Your pet will be suffering pain and be incapable of eating. You can check the condition of its gums. They will be red in color. Most pets object to having their mouths opened for checking their teeth so you may not be alerted to dental disease until it is very prominent. That’s why you must brush its teeth regularly at least twice a week.
To prevent the formation of plaque, feed your pet dry commercial pet food. This requires chewing to exercise the jaws and teeth. There is less tendency for dry food to stick onto the gums.
You can buy chewing toys for your pet to chew. Alternatively, if it can’t take to chewing, use toothpaste and toothbrush to remove plaque. Pet shops sell these, as well as many chlorhexidine sprays and mouth washes. It is better to brush twice a week to eliminate plaque.
If brushing is a problem then use dry pet food and dental toys as cleaners. If your pet has calculus or gum disease, it is better to visit the vet who is able to do a dental scaling. If there are defective teeth, they are removed. However, this causes pain and irritation to your pet. Prevention is better than cure. Care for your pet’s teeth before they give problems.

Clipping your dog’s nails
One activity that many dogs hate is getting their toenails trimmed. Let’s face it, as a kid did you like it when your parents would cut your toenails ? No. Because it hurt. Or so you thought.
That’s exactly how it is with dogs, too. They think it’s a dreadful activity. And unless you can convince them otherwise, it always will be an awful experience for both owner and dog. There is a trick to it, believe it or not. There’s a way you can actually make your dog not mind getting his toenails trimmed.
The best kind of clippers to use for your dog’s toes are pet clippers. There is a special kind of clipper on the market that makes a clean swipe on their claws. If you use the same clippers that you use for your fingers and toes, the clippers will pinch the nails of your pet. That’s not good. That’s what causes the pain. When you cut the nail of your dog’s toe, be sure not to take too much. You want only to clip off a tiny bit at the tip. Clip only up to where the nail starts curving upward.
If you clip too much of your dog’s toenail, you might clip the pink vein you likely can see inside his nail. If you hit that area, he’ll bleed profusely. Use some dry powder to stop the bleeding.
When you’re trying to teach your dog to get used to getting his toenails clipped, first let him get used to the sound of the clippers. As you tempt your dog with a treat or with his favorite human food, just snap the clippers a few times. Let him get used to the sound. You’ll also want to be sure to let your dog get used to you grabbing his paws in positive times. When you’re praising your dog, be sure to grab his paws and be happy about it. Then one time when you’re praising your dog, clip two of his nails. Just two. To get used to getting them cut. Don’t rush it, especially if your dog doesn’t like it. Eventually you’ll be able to clip all your dog’s nails, and he won’t mind at all.

Dog grooming instructions
A clean dog really is a happy dog. Just ask your favorite pet! Ok, I know you can not really ask him or her, but some simple observation on your part can tell you their answer. Regular grooming has different advantages, both for your pet and you. It gives you an up close view of your pet allowing you to notice symptoms and problems your pet may be having and you might otherwise miss. Your personal bond with your dog is strengthened. In addition, think of the money you will save by not having to pay a professional groomer for things that you can learn to do yourself, not to mention possible savings at the veterinarian by heading off costly illnesses.
Dental Care
Dog’s teeth can build up plaque and tartar the same as ours. Chips can occur and periodental disease is a common problem. Teeth can become loose and fall out due to receding gums caused by this. What can you do? Brush his teeth! Start when the dog is just a puppy and he will become so accustomed to it, it will be just a regular part of his or her routine. The best way to start is to use soft cotton the first few days, then slowly progress to a regular dog toothbrush. A child’s soft brush can also be used. These can be purchased at your local pet store or through your veterinarian. Do not forget the toothpaste either. Special made brands for your pets are available also. As with our own brushes, watch for wear and replace as necessary.
