Q: Part of the fun of having a pet is handling it and enjoying its company. Handling your water dragon can be fun for both you and your pet, if done properly. As always, be gentle whenever handling your dragon, in addition to these other steps: Handle your dragon at a young age to ensure that it's accepting of being handled as an adult. Work slowly when trying to handle your water dragon at first. It will need to get used to your presence before trusting you. Don't force any interaction with your water dragon. Doing so will only cause your water dragon to distrust you. Try hand feeding your dragon first, inside the cage. Once it accepts food from your hand, you can try to remove it from its container. Never pick up a water dragon by its tail. Your water dragon will need a diet that suits its nutritional needs and matches what it would eat in the wild. The diet will consist mainly of insects, of various types, and some vegetables and fruit. This diet will help keep it healthy, strong, and happy. The main elements of the diet include crickets and mealworms. However, these tend to be low in calcium in captivity and need to be dusted with calcium powder immediately prior to feeding to the water dragon, to ensure that the dragon gets enough calcium in the diet for healthy bones. Waxworms are also an option, however, they are high in fat and should be offered sparsely. Dark green vegetables, such as kale, collard, mustard, and dandelion leaves can be a great addition to your dragon's diet. Some fruits can be included as well. Try feeding your water dragon bananas, cantaloupe, or strawberries. Large adult water dragons can eat earthworms, pinkie mice, or small feeder fish. Young dragons should be fed daily. Adult water dragons should be fed once every three days. Your water dragon won't require much grooming, however, there are some things you can do to keep your water dragon clean and happy. The two main areas of grooming that you will focus on involve the nails and bathing of your dragon. Keep an eye on your water dragons nails. If you notice the nails getting long, they can be trimmed. Keeping them short will make handling the dragon more comfortable. Find someone who can show you how to trim your dragons nails in person, as it is difficult for a beginner to do without seriously harming the water dragon. Allow your water dragon to soak in water regularly. This can help prevent constipation as well as keep it clean. As with all pets, scheduling a regular exam with your veterinarian is a critical part of maintaining that pet's health. Find a local veterinarian that works with reptiles and ask them about setting up appointments to examine your Chinese water dragon. Young dragons, under the age of four, should be checked at least once annually. Older water dragons, over four years, should be examined twice yearly.
A: Learn how to handle your water dragon. Provide a proper diet. Groom your water dragon. Schedule regular exams with a veterinarian.

Article: The classic example is a old tire or empty gardening pot. Items such as these can easily collect and hold small amounts of standing water. Discard tires properly or drill holes in them to allow water to drain. Stack and cover containers such as pots whenever they're not in use. Steps such as this are especially important to take late in the winter, preceding mosquito breeding season. Piles of raked leaves, grass, or other brush can collect small pools of standing water that you may not be able to see. They can also serve as hangouts for adult mosquitoes during the day. Dispose of these piles before they are able to do so. If you compost, be sure to turn your pile weekly at the very least. Irregularly used kiddie pools are especially likely candidates for standing water. That said, many different toys can collect small amounts of standing water that may be less apparent. Encourage and help your children put away their toys inside or in a covered area. Make sure to get the little things too: that shovel in the sandbox or that frisbee in the corner of the yard are both ideal for small deposits of standing water. Gutters can fill and clog quite quickly, and can readily collect standing water. While a gutter cover can help, you'll still need to check gutters regularly. Similarly, your downspouts and the drains or erosion-controlling troughs they pour into can get clogged as well. Check and clean your drains after any large leaf drops in the fall, and again at the end of winter. Standing water can collect in the areas of your yard that you keep watered, such as your garden. If ever you notice that a certain spot remains wet, it is likely collecting water above and below the surface. Add sand to the ground near the area to allow water to drain away from the spot. Alternatively, dig a shallow drainage trough from a frequently wet area of the garden to another lower part of the garden that dries out more quickly. If water collects in shallow parts of your yard, work to raise that area of the yard. The easiest way to do so is adding soil to the area to bring it up to grade with the surrounding ground level. Alternatively, you can dig a shallow ditch from the shallow part of your yard to an area the water will be able to drain. Tree stumps that haven't been fully removed can collect standing water that may not be readily apparent. Instead of allowing a stump to slowly decompose, continue chopping it until you can till it into the surrounding soil or remove it entirely.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Discard debris. Take care of collected yard waste. Have young people store their toys properly. Clean your gutters and drains. Drain your garden properly. Regrade your lawn if water pools in certain areas. Remove stumps.

Q: You can purchase pre-paid phone cards from local convenience stores, chain pharmacies, and national retailers, like Wal-Mart or Target. The cost of a card ranges from $2 to $30 dollars. While some cards are located on wall and spinning racks near the register, other cards are located behind the register. Before purchasing the card, ask the clerk which cards they recommend. Alternatively, you can set up an online account with a provider, like Zaptel or Tel3Advantage. By setting up an account, you can choose a phone card from a variety of options and reload your card online. Each card has an 800 number or a local access number, as well as a PIN number. In order to make a call, first dial the access number and enter your PIN. Then, listen for the prompt and input the phone number you are calling. Make sure to manually dial the full number of the party you are calling, including the international dialing code, country code, and area code. Most cards are activated at the time of purchase at the register. While some cards have a scratch off coating that conceals the PIN number, other cards will have their PIN numbers located on the receipt. Before purchasing the card, make sure to check the card's cost per minute, i.e., rate, surcharges, rounding rates, and expiration date. Rates vary depending on which country you call, as well as what kind of phone you use, for example, a cellphone versus a payphone. Furthermore, some cards have disconnect fees, maintenance fees, and surcharges of 35 cents or more. Call the toll-free number on the card to find out about rates and fees if they are not listed. Some cards employ rounding where they round up in increments, like increments of three. This means that a one minute call is charged for three minutes. Cards might also have an expiration date of 30 days meaning if you do not use the card, it will not work after that date. Other cards might charge a non-usage fee if you go a certain amount of days without using the card.

Purchase a pre-paid phone card. Input the access and PIN number. Check the fine print.
