INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Size is an important consideration for tattoos because it limits what kind of designs you can choose from. For instance, a very detailed portrait will not work for a very small area of skin. Alternatively, a very basic design like a music note might look odd if it is stretched out over a large part of the body. Consult a tattoo artist for advice on size, design, and placement of your next tattoo. If you have a low tolerance for pain, opt for a smaller tattoo that will take less time. Before deciding to get a tattoo, you should decide how visible you want it to be and how it may be altered as your body ages. If you are not free to display your tattoos at work, do not choose an open area of your body to tattoo, such as your hands, wrists, ankles, lower arms, or neck. Ask your tattoo artist for advice about placement to avoid tattooing an area of the body that will stretch out and distort your tattoo, such as your lower abdomen. You should decide right off the bat what color scheme you want your tattoo to have. If you want a more subdued tattoo, a white or black and gray design is your best bet. If you want something bold, colorful, and fun, a full color tattoo is a great choice. If you are unsure about this decision, note that you can always add color to your tattoo down the line. Before contacting tattoo artists to start planning your tattoo, you should know how much you are willing to spend on it. Good tattoo artists may charge $250 or more per hour for their work, and some tattoos will require multiple sessions. Be clear with any artists you speak to about how much you have to spend and get estimates for what the tattoo you envision will cost in total. Factor in a tip amount of at least 20% for your tattoo artist. Before settling on a tattoo design, make sure that it is something you will enjoy looking at for the rest of your life. If you love nature, for example, a tattoo of a sunrise, bird, tree, or butterfly will reflect your personal affinity for the outdoors. Avoid settling on anything popular or trendy that does not actually bring you joy. When you have a few options sketched out, take your time and just look at all of them. Which one brings you a sense of pleasure? Which one feels like it's about you? Go for that one.

SUMMARY: Figure out how large you want your tattoo to be. Choose the placement of your tattoo. Decide between a full color, white, or black and gray tattoo. Work out your tattoo budget. Make sure to choose a design that makes you happy.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This might mean that your dog asks to be let out more frequently. He may also be more insistent, as though every time is an emergency. Increased urgency is a tell-tale sign of UTI. You might also notice repeated urinating behavior (squatting or leg-cocking) without urination. The dog might feel like he or she needs to urinate, but be unable to urinate when let outside. This might be hard, as dogs usually urinate onto grass. If you suspect your dog might have a UTI, though, watch the urine stream mid-air, before it hits the ground. If it looks like it has blood in it, take the dog to the veterinarian immediately. Older dogs with heath issues like kidney disease or diabetes tend to drink more water to deal with their condition. This can lead to "subclinical infections" due to increased urination. There's bacteria present, but not enough to cause observable signs of discomfort. The only way to test for a subclinical infection is having a vet test a urine sample. Some vets recommend doing this as part of older dogs' regular medical routines. If your dog has a history of subclinical infections, have its urine tested every three to six months. The "infection" part of UTI signals the presence of an infectious agent like bacteria. This needs medical treatment, so you need to take your pet to the vet as soon as possible. If you can, collect a sample of the dog's urine to take with you, as this may speed up the diagnosis. If you're taking steps to keep UTIs at bay, but your dog keeps getting them, they might be an underlying health problem. This problem may be weakening your dog's immune system or bladder tissue, resulting in increased UTIs. Identifying and treating the problem will reduce the chance of UTI. Ask your vet to run tests to identify potential causes for your dog's problems. This might include: Blood tests: The vet can check for conditions that may make the dog drink more and have weaker urine (kidney, liver disease, diabetes) Imaging: An ultrasound can check for the presence of polyps, bladder cancer, bladder stones, and other issues which can affect the bladder lining. Urine sediment exam: The veterinarian urine sediment under a microscope for crystals that might explain the dog's issues.

SUMMARY: Watch for increased urgency of urination. Look for blood in the urine. Have older dogs tested regularly. Take the dog to the vet if you suspect a UTI. Have a veterinarian address repeated infections.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . Make sure your back is straight and your feet are shoulder length apart. Complete knuckle pushups on a soft surface like carpet, a workout mat, or even grass.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To play it cool, you have to show that while you enjoy talking to your crush, your life does not revolve around him or her. Here are some ways to make this clear; Don't talk to your crush every single time you sign online. Talk to him or her every second or third time you sign on. This will show that you're not only going online to continue your conversation. Don't respond to everything he or she says too quickly. If you respond the second he or she asks you a question, this will make it look like you're obsessed with your conversation. If you don't answer right away, your crush will see that you're talking to other people, or doing other things too. Get a secret screen name that no one knows about to see what your crush is doing when he thinks you're not online. This can help you have a better sense of what your crush really thinks about you, and can help you cool it during your interactions. If you see that your crush isn't online much when he doesn't think you're online, this can suggest that he's online for the same reason you are--to continue flirting! If you see that your crush is just always online, it may mean that he'll talk to whoever--whenever. This may also suggest that he doesn't have a life. Log on to your secret screen name after you say goodbye to your crush. Does your crush sign off right away? This may show that he's only sticking around to talk to you. It's great to show that you think your crush is an engaging, exciting, and fun person, but if you overdo it, you may end up looking too obsessive. Here are some things to avoid: Minimize your use of "LOL" or "hahaha"--this will make it look like you're trying too hard to be funny. Avoid too many emoticons. This can get annoying and will make you look immature. If your crush doesn't respond right away, don't immediately follow up with a series of question marks or say, "Where did you go???" This will make it look like your world revolves around your crush's answers.

SUMMARY:
Don't be too eager to talk to your crush. Don't underestimate the secret screen name. Don't be too enthusiastic during your conversation.
