INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For this project, which gives you a beautifully rustic transfer onto canvas, you need four basic materials. See the "Things You'll Need" section. Nothing fancy let's get started! Laser printers work best for photo transfer onto canvas; ink jet printers will not get the job done, unfortunately. How do you tell which kind of printer you have? If your toner is large, it's most likely a laser printer; if it's small and compact, it's most likely an ink-jet. The size of your image and the size of the canvas don't need to be exact, although they look best when the two match perfectly. If you photograph is slightly smaller than the canvas e.g. less than an inch (3 cm) the final product will still look professional. Get ready for the image to be reversed. If you think reversal will look strange, or you're partial to the current arrangement on the photo, reverse the image before you print it out. No need to spend a whole lot of time on this step, but do make sure that there are no gaps in coverage, or the photo ultimately won't transfer. Instead of trying to line up the whole image perfectly in one fell swoop, line up one edge first so that two corners of the canvas and two corners of the photo match perfectly. Once that side is put onto the gelled canvas, flatten the rest of the photo onto the remaining canvas in a sweeping motion. Place in a cool place devoid of excessive moisture while the gel medium dries. Using your hand, scrape away the wet paper to reveal the reversed image underneath. Continue spraying and lightly scraping until you've revealed as much of the image as desired. Don't scrape too hard or you'll scrape away the underlying image. Expect for it to be messy. Don't be afraid to leave a small amount of distress or paper on the canvas. This is what gives the image its rustic or vintage look, and it pairs especially well with black and white or sepia tone images. Allow the canvas to dry again overnight before hanging, gifting, or using.

SUMMARY: Gather your supplies. Print out your image on a laser printer. Use a thick coat of gel medium to cover the front of your canvas completely. Line the image up with the canvas ink-side down and press down to flatten. Allow canvas to dry overnight. Starting on one side of the canvas, lightly wet the surface with water from a spray bottle. Apply a final coat of gel medium to the canvas once you've stripped it of paper.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Bring your dog to the chosen spot, making sure the floor is protected with newspaper. Have your assistant hold the dog in a standing position and elevate the tail when you are ready to administer the enema. Stand behind the dog so you have a clear view of his rear end. If your dog has long fur or feathering around the rear end, then consider clipping away the long fur to reduce fecal soiling when the dog does go. Other types of enema equipment may use a pump or syringe that you will need to fill. Too fill the bulb, pump, or syringe, submerge the end of the tubing into the enema liquid. Then, compress the bulb to expel all of the air. Next, release the bulb so that the negative pressure pulls in liquid. Make sure that the water is not too hot by testing it on the inside of your wrist. If the water is too hot, then cool it down by adding a little cold water. If you are using a syringe, attach the tubing to the hub of the syringe and suck back on the plunger in order to fill the syringe. The anus is the hole through which the dog passes feces. This is easy to identify in the male because it is the only hole. In the female dog the anus is immediately below the tail whilst the vulva is closer to the ground between her back legs. Wearing your protective clothing and gloves, squirt a small volume of liquid out of the end of the tubing to lubricate it or apply some petroleum jelly to the end. Then, take the end of the tubing and gently insert it into your dog's rectum. Next, apply a bit of gentle pressure at the central part of the anus. It may also help to apply a gentle twisting movement to the tubing as you advance it. The rectum lies parallel to the backbone. Aim to direct the tubing forward in a straight line parallel to the spine in order to follow the path of the rectum. Never apply pressure or force. If the tube refuses to advance, leave it where it is and try squirting in some liquid as it might be the tip is jammed against the fecal buildup. Push the tubing about one to two inches into the anus. Once tubing is far enough into the anus, then slowly compress the syringe or squeeze the bulb in order to administer the enema. Go slow to ensure that your dog will not be uncomfortable and to prevent injury to the dog's bowel wall. Once the full volume has been given, slowly remove the enema tubing. Take your dog to his usual potty spot and encourage him to go potty. It may help to take your dog for a nice slow, gentle walk to help the fluid mix with the feces and start the softening process. If your dog does not pass feces on the first attempt, repeat the enema process 1 - 2 hours later. Remember to give your dog plenty of opportunities to toilet in between enemas. When he is ready to go, he will need to go right away. Never get angry at a dog that has had an enema and loses control. This is not his fault. To prevent your dog from having an accident on your carpet or furniture, you may want to keep him outside until he has gone.

SUMMARY:
Position your dog. Fill the enema bulb. Identify the anus. Prime the enema pump. Insert the tubing in a straight line. Administer the enema solution. Take your dog to use the bathroom.
