Q: You'll want to pick one that fits in your pocket, purse, or backpack; whichever place you would like to carry it. Choose one in your favorite color or with a fun design so that it is aesthetically pleasing. Ensure it has enough pages and is organized in the way you prefer; some have a page per day, some have two pages per week, etc. There are different types of planners with different layouts. Some also have smaller sections while others have larger. Choose one that suits you the best. If your planner is too plain, consider decorating it. If you can't buy a planner, check out How to Make Your Own School Planner. You should do this ahead of time for an entire semester or year. Block out a space for each subject or course so when the time comes to write in it, you'll know exactly where to put each assignment. Keep your classes organized by day. For example, if you have Math and Science on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, put those sections next to each other. You'll likely have other things to do than homework, so make a section to record other engagements such as sporting events, concerts or recitals, dances or other school functions, work or chores, etc. You could schedule in free time as well. Consider creating separate sections for school-related activities and extracurricular activities. For example, a school ball game could be in one section and a concert in another. Write in birthdays, holidays, and other special events ahead of time. That way, when you look at a week or month you'll know if there are any occasions that could change your schedule or take up extra time. You can also add information such as first and last days of school, holiday breaks, etc. You don't need to write in every single birthday--just focus on your friends and family. If you plan on doing something special on that day, such as a party, make a quick note of it.
A: Choose the right planner for you. Create sections for every subject/course you take. Create a section for other events. Add birthdays and holidays.

Q: Browse mitts that are specifically designed for either catcher or first baseman. Catcher's mitts are the biggest; their circumference typically exceeds 30 inches. First baseman's mitts resemble gloves, with less padding and more length than a catcher's mitt. Adult sizes range from 12-13". On your way to the mitt section, grab a ball and bring it with you. Judge your ability to grip it securely through all that heavy padding. For younger first basemen, especially aged 10 and under, be sure they are able to close the mitt. If this is too difficult, use an infielder's glove instead. Although all mitts will feel heavy in comparison to gloves, avoid buying a mitt that feels too heavy. Be sure that the mitt's weight does not impede your ability to transfer the ball to your free hand for a quick throw to your teammates.
A: Choose the right mitt for your position. Test the fit. Judge the weight.

Q: If you can't find a notebook, get some 20 to 24 gauge metal wire from a bead shop or an art shop. It can be any color you like. If you want to make two earrings, snip another loop off. You will end up with one (or two) metal rings. Be sure to cut the "hook" off the end of end of your metal ring as well. If you are using a metal wire, cut about 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) off with a pair of wire cutters. Wrap it around a pen or marker to shape it. Do not use scissors, or you will dull them. For a fancier earring, add a smaller bead to either side of the larger one. If you want a dangler use a pendant or charm from a necklace or bracelet instead. Pinch the cut end of the wire with the pliers, and fold it inward. This will make the earring "softer" and more comfortable to wear. If you added any decorations to your earring, these loops will also keep them from falling off. Use your fingers or a pen to curve the earring back into a ring shape. Keep a small gap between the two folded loops. Pull the earring apart until you can slide the gap part onto your earlobe. Carefully close the earring until it stays on.
A: Get a notebook with the metal rings. Use a pair of wire cutters to snip a loop off. Consider slipping a pretty bead onto the wire. Use a pair of round nose pliers to twist each end of the wire inward. Re-shape the earring, if needed. Wear the earring.

Q: CAD is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that other causes of itchiness must be ruled out before CAD can be diagnosed. CAD is the second most common canine skin problem behind FAD, so your veterinarian will probably want to rule out FAD first. Treatments for FAD include medicated flea and tick shampoos, flea and tick sprays, and topical flea preventatives. Use the spray in a well-ventilated area. Use these products according to the product label instructions, as well as your veterinarian's instructions. You can also get rid of fleas by vacuuming your home more frequently and washing your dog's bedding hot water. If your dog is still miserable and itchy after being treated for fleas, then FAD can be ruled out. Interestingly, fleas can trigger development of CAD. After ruling out FAD, your veterinarian will test for other skin parasites called mites: demodex, which causes demodectic mange, and Sarcoptic scabei, which causes sarcoptic mange (scabies). He or she will take a superficial skin scraping to check for mites under the microscope. If your veterinarian does not see mites in the skin scraping, he or she will likely rule out mange. Even if no mites are present, the skin scraping may reveal bacteria or yeast, indicating a secondary skin infection caused by the scratching. Your veterinarian will treat your dog for these infections. Food allergies can make your dog feel itchy. After the external parasites have been ruled out, your veterinarian will want to rule out food allergies. Proteins are a common trigger for food allergies in dogs, so your veterinarian will recommend switching your dog to a hypoallergenic food that contains a protein he has not been eaten before (e.g., duck, kangaroo). A food elimination trial involves feeding your dog only the new food for 8 to 12 weeks to see if his allergy symptoms go away, then re-challenging him with his old food to see if the symptoms come back. If your dog's itchiness persists throughout the food elimination trial, your veterinarian will likely rule out a food allergy. Hypoallergenic foods are available through your veterinarian.
A:
Treat your Golden Retriever for flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Test your Golden Retriever for mange. Conduct a food elimination trial.
