Article: Kitty litter does a great job for both cats and concrete because it's highly absorbent. When it comes to kitty litter cleanup, you do not want the expensive, clumping kind. You want the inexpensive kind that happens to be super absorbent. Use a generous amount, and completely cover the oil stain. Wait for a bit, and give the litter a chance to work. If it's just a little bit, 10 to 15 minutes should be enough. For bigger spills, let it sit a couple hours, or even overnight. Using your grubby shoes, crush the litter on the oil, breaking it up and grinding it into the oily spot, like a scrub brush. When you're done scrunching, sweep up and discard the dirty litter. Using a concentrated detergent and a stiff brush, scrub the area in a circular motion. Be vigorous where the oil is, and then continue scrubbing beyond the spill, with a lighter touch. This will even out the difference between the scrubbed area and the rest of your driveway. After you've scrubbed, rinse away the detergent, and check to see how well the litter and detergent and your elbows have done their job. If it looks good, clean up, and call it a day. If it's still too stained, use more detergent and scrub more.

The tried and true approach. Go for the cheapest. Spread the litter. Patience is a virtue. Crush the litter. Replace the oil with elbow grease. Rinse and repeat. Be aware that if the oil sat too long on the concrete, the stain may need up to a year to totally fade.
Article: ) out of a piece of paper. You can find a template online or you can freehand it. Make the body a little on the chubby side so you have room to attach the wings without drawing away from its size. Cut out the foam to match the template. This project looks best if you have about 6 or so bats. They need friends! Punch two holes on each wing, close to where the wings would attach to the body. Leave a little space around all sides so the holes don't turn into rips. Also punch a hole at the bottom of the body, to attach a string later (around where a tail would be). The holes just have to be big enough to put a metal brad through. This is how the wings will flap. Since there are two holes on each side, use the one that's closest to the wing tip. Place a paper fastener or a brad through the hole and secure loosely (it's best to use a black fastener or color your gold brad). That's why you pierced two holes in each bat initially! You'll probably want at least 10 inches (25 cm) of string (or dental floss), so the string is easy to grab. This is how you'll manipulate the wings. When you hang your bat up, you can just give the string a tug and away he'll go! Thread the ribbon through the bottom hole to hang the bat upside down from your wall or ledge. Tie it in a loop and knot. Then, make red eyes with sequins. Googly eyes work, too!

Cut a body, two wings, and the head of a bat (with ears! Trace your template onto black craft foam. Punch several holes into the bat to join the pieces together. Align the holes on the body and the wings together and fasten with a brad. Thread a string through the empty holes and tie in a loop. Attach a ribbon and red sequin eyes.
Article: Improper tube feeding, by overfeeding or putting the tube down the trachea instead of the esophagus, can lead to aspiration pneumonia in young puppies. If you tube feed your puppy, doing it correctly can prevent another bout of aspiration pneumonia: Make sure no air bubbles are in the milk formula. Before inserting the feeding tube, measure it from your puppy's mouth to its last rib. Place your puppy on its side to do the measuring. Slowly thread the tube over the puppy's tongue and down the throat. Run your thumb and index finger along your puppy's neck to make sure you can feel the trachea and the feeding tube. Do not hold your puppy by its abdomen after the tube feeding. When giving oral liquid medications to a puppy using a syringe, it can be easy for that medication to end up in the puppy's lungs, causing aspiration pneumonia. To prevent aspiration pneumonia when giving liquid medication: Hold your puppy's head in your non-dominant hand and the syringe in your dominant hand. Place the syringe in your puppy's mouth and angle it to the side. Do not angle it toward the back of the throatthe medication could end up in your puppy's lungs. Slowly empty the syringe. Place just a few drops in your puppy's mouth at a time, giving it time to swallow and breathe. If your young puppy has cleft palate, it will likely need surgery to prevent aspiration pneumonia from happening again. During the surgery, your vet will close the opening in the top of your puppy's mouth, lessening the chance of liquid or food going into the lungs. Surgery could also be needed if your puppy breathed a foreign object into its lungs. If you decide on surgery, your vet will take special precautions to ensure your puppy does not accidentally breathe anything into its lungs before it has fully woken up from surgery. Surgery can be expensive. If you have financial concerns, discuss these with your vet when deciding on whether your puppy should have surgery.
