Q: You should take your new puppy to the vet within 48 hours of adopting it. Most breeders, shelters, and rescues have a small window when they guarantee the health of the puppy, so it is best to get it checked during this time in case there is something wrong with it. Even if there are no guarantees, you should still get the puppy checked within this time frame so you can catch any possible health problems as soon as possible. Your vet will explain about the necessary vaccinations, feedings requirements, and any other health problems facing your puppy, such as worms and parasites. Feel free to ask your vet any questions you have about owning the specific breed you have or about puppies in general. When you adopt your puppy, ask the breeder, shelter, or rescue what they were feeding your puppy while it lived there. This will help make the transition easier on your puppy. The puppy will already be stressed because it is changing its environment and leaving its family, so making sure its food stays constant will help make any stomach issues it experiences better. Try to at least start the puppy on the food it was accustomed to before. If you want to change its food, do so gradually by weaning it off the other food and feeding it more of the food you want it to have. Just make sure you are feeding it puppy food, not adult dog food. If the puppy has diarrhea, but seems healthy otherwise, don't worry. This is a common response to stress. However, if the diarrhea continues for more than 24 hours or if the puppy seems unwell, take the puppy to a veterinarian. There are some diseases that are common in puppies, such as parvo, distemper, kennel cough, and gastrointestinal issues. The more severe conditions, such as parvo and distemper, have vaccinations that fight against them. This means it is imperative that you get your puppy vaccinated as soon as possible. Other issues can be combated with a healthy and balanced diet. This helps keep the puppy's immune system up, which helps it fight any possible disease that could attack it at such a young age. If you notice any change in behavior, any general listlessness, or excessive diarrhea or vomiting, take your puppy to the vet immediately. The earlier you catch an illness, the better the puppy's chances are.
A: Take your new puppy for a checkup. Get the right food. Watch for sickness.

Q: While the bread is toasting, slice the banana.
A: Make the toast as usual. Spread each slice with one half peanut butter and one half chocolate spread. Arrange banana slices over the spread on each slice. (Optional) Sprinkle with shredded coconut and/or chocolate chips. Serve immediately.

Q: If there are any cracks, holes or leaks the tube should be replaced. There should be a floor drain near the condensation pipe located by the furnace/air conditioner central unit. The pump should activate and pump the water out and to the drain. If the pump doesn't remove the water, the drain pan is probably overfilling and the pump will need to be replaced by a technician.
A: Check for leaks in the tubing where the water is pooling. Find the drain where the water condensation should be draining into. Clean the drain of any debris if the water seems to be pooling on top of it. Pour water into the condensation drain pan and watch for the condensation pump to start working.

Q: Verify that the gun is not loaded by putting the ramrod down the barrel and measuring the distance that it can reach. It must reach all the way to the location of the touch hole in the pan. Use your cleaning rod to clean the barrel of any black powder residue, dirt or dust that may have accumulated. While loading the gun, keep it aimed straight up in the air and avoid putting your face over the barrel at any time, even while you're loading it. Most muzzleloaders will come with a swab (a piece of cloth used to lubricate the rifle) fitted to the slot in the cleaning rod. Apply gun lubricant to the inside of the barrel. Do not apply too much, as it can get in the touch hole and prevent ignition. A thin layer is sufficient, no more than the amount of sunscreen you'd put on your face Pour black powder from your horn or flask into the powder measurer to the appropriate mark, then pour the powder from the measurer into the muzzle. Tap the side of the rifle a few times with the flat of your hand to settle the powder. Using the smaller end of the bullet-starter, push the bullet into the barrel. Be gentle. When you get to the end of the starter, pull it out and use the longer end to push it farther down. Use the ramrod to seat the bullet securely on the powder charge. Use a short but firm motions to seat it, don't jam it in a stabbing motion like you see in old Civil War movies. There's a mark on the ramrod that will let you know when the bullet has been seated. When that mark lines up with the end of the barrel, the bullet should be seated properly. It's important to make sure the bullet is seated firmly on the charge, leaving no gaps between the powder and the bullet. With the gun pointed in a safe direction, use your priming tool to seat the cap on the nipple. Make sure the safety is on, if your rifle has one, or that you're at half-cock, if you're using a side-lock rifle.
A:
Check the barrel. Lubricate the barrel. Measure your powder. Load your bullet. Load your percussion cap.
