In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The first step to dealing with a psychic vampire is by setting firm boundaries. If psychic vampires realize you have limits, they'll back off from you and search for other victims. Be very clear about what you can and cannot do for this person. Explain, in no uncertain terms, what amount of your time, space, and energy is reasonable and what is not. Try saying something like, "I am perfectly happy to talk with you about your problems, but when you refuse to listen to any possible solutions or let me help you feel better I need to step away." Try to set boundaries on your own end, especially if you're dealing with a narcissistic psychic vampire. Try to remind yourself you should not fall in love or form a strong friendship with a person of this emotional capacity. It is not possible for them to love you back. Body language helps as well. If a psychic vampire tries to break boundaries, cross your arms and break eye contact. This sends a signal - "Back off, I can't deal with this today." Psychic vampires thrive on controlling others. If you feel like your time and space is being controlled by another person, take a step back from the relationship. If a psychic vampire is trying to control you or offering unsolicited advice, cut them off with a firm declaration that you do not need their advice. Try something like, "I appreciate you offering advice, but I need to work through this on my own." People often internalize criticism from psychic vampires. You end up with an inner critic, just as harsh as the psychic vampire. Work to shut down the voice inside yourself that tells you you're incapable of making your own decisions. If you find yourself putting yourself down, pause and think, "That's negative and unnecessary." After a certain point, you might have to break off the relationship or at least lessen the bond. If a psychic vampire continues to violate boundaries and demand too much of your time and emotional energy, you need to work on keeping your distance. Don't return texts or phone calls and limit the time you spend with this person. Take care of your body and mind by maintaining healthy eating, exercising, and personal care habits. Spend time with people you care about, as well as your pets. Treat yourself to a bath, cup of tea, or time spent on your hobby. Eat a healthy, balanced diet consisting of plenty of vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbs. Choose an exercise you enjoy, such as walking, dancing, yoga, or bicycling. Do something nice for yourself every day. If the psychic vampire has done damage, talk out your feelings with someone you trust or work with a therapist.
Summary: Set firm boundaries. Step back if you feel controlled. Stay away from psychic vampires. Keep up with your self care.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have some experience with grooming pets, see if you can set up a booth at the next community event your animal shelter hosts. You could also offer to wash dogs in exchange for a small donation. If you don't have much experience with grooming, ask local groomers to volunteer their time to help with the event. Set up a competition through your school, church, or community center and ask people to submit photos of their pets. Create different categories, such as hairiest pet, best smile, or saddest eyes. Then, ask someone to judge the photos and give out the awards. You can charge admission or simply ask for donations throughout the event. Instead of judging the photos, you could let people vote for their favorites in each category. Set up a bake sale at your school or community center. Decide if you'd like to sell treats for humans, animals, or both! If you don't mind getting messy, washing cars is another familiar way to fundraise. You could wash cars for a small fee that you donate. These are great events to do with friends or other people from the animal shelter. Don't forget other classic ways of raising money, such as yard or garage sales. You could also hold a pledge drive and participate in a marathon or sports event to raise money. Ask nearby schools, community centers, or libraries if you can come and speak about pet care. Let them know that you'll give an informative talk in order to raise money for the animal shelter. Then, determine what the focus of your talk will be. You should tailor your talk to your audience. For example, if you're speaking to a group of school children, talk about basic pet care and the types of animals that the shelter cares for.
Summary: Offer dog washes or grooming to make money. Hold a pet photo contest to raise funds. Hold a bake sale or car wash to get donations. Offer to give talks about caring for animals in exchange for a donation.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are many different reasons in support of spaying or neutering your dog. Among those reasons is the fact that they will be far less likely to bite. Spaying and neutering will change hormonal levels in your dog, resulting in more docile behavior. Your dog's instinct to wander or fight with other dogs will be reduced. Neutering your dog lowers testosterone levels, making male dogs less aggressive. Making sure that your dog is safely contained in his own yard is part of being a responsible pet owner. Keeping your dog in a limited and safe space will help protect not only your dog, but other pets and people as well. Do not let your dog roam freely. Keeping your dog contained lowers the chance of them encountering and fighting other pets. Being kept secure will also lower your dog's chances of biting during a hunt. If you know your dog may bite, or suspect they may, avoid any unnecessarily stressful situations. Do not introduce your dog to new or busy places. Watch your dog's behavior at all times for signs of stress and leave the area immediately if you see them manifesting. Don't introduce too many new people if that seems to be stressful for your dog. Large crowds can stress dogs out. Try to avoid bringing your dog to these if they are nervous. Avoiding stressful situations works. However, you may still want to train your dog to relax in them. Have a safe space where your dog can go and relax. Going to obedience training classes with your pet is one of the best ways to prevent dog bites. These classes will teach both you and your dog how to work together to avoid biting. Your dog will be socialized with other dogs and people. Your dog will learn how to deal with any fears it may have. You will learn how to properly reward or punish behaviors. Expect that both you and your dog will be learning. Ask your veterinarian for recommendations for good obedience training classes.
Summary:
Spay or neuter your dog. Don't let your dog wander or go off-leash. Avoid stressful situations. Go to obedience training with your dog.
