Q: A good brushing every week or two will help keep your Great Dane's short coat soft and healthy. This will also help cut down on shedding and encourage skin circulation. Use this time to check for fleas and ticks. If you find them, you should use topical treatments to fight against them. You can also use this time to look for bumps, lumps, skin irritations, or scratches. Keep a check on these and take him to the vet if you notice any issues or if they get worse. When you are brushing your Great Dane, you can also check his nails. He may not need a lot of trimming since he is so large. His size and his level of activity will keep then worn down, but he may have one or two that might get too long. If this happens, you will need to trim them. Buy dog nail clippers from the pet store. When looking at the nail, make sure you look on the back side of the nail for a triangle shaped area, which is the quick of the nail that houses blood vessels and nerves. Cutting this will hurt your dog and may cause infection. If you aren't sure how to do this, ask your vet or a vet technician to show you how to do it at home or take him to have them cut. To ensure your Great Dane doesn't have teeth issues, you need to brush his teeth regularly, which is about once a week. You need to get him used to you brushing his teeth, so let him lick some dog toothpaste off your finger first, then wipe some along his gums. The next day, rub some toothpaste into his gums with your finger so he gets used to the feeling. The next day, you can try a toothbrush on just the outer side of his teeth. The inside takes care of itself. You may have to use your fingers a few times before he will allow the brush. Never use human toothpaste because fluoride is poisonous to dogs. You can also use dental formulated treats to help remove plaque.
A: Brush his coat. Trim his nails. Brush his teeth.

Q: The melody to "Happy Birthday" is a simple one that everyone knows, so practicing it is easy and you'll know right away if it sounds wrong. The first two notes (the ones that correspond to "Hap - py") are both Gs. The note you'll want to start with here is the one you get by playing the open G string. Play one note for each syllable in "Hap - py," like this:High E string:----------------B string: ---------G string: 0-0--------- D string:--------A string:--------Low E string:-------- For this section, since there's not an easy way to represent staff music or tablature on WikiHow, we're going to proceed measure-by-measure. For a traditional inscription of the melody, visit a site like Guitarnick.com or start-playing-guitar.com. Each beat gets one note, like this:High E string:--------B string: ----------1G string: 2--0 D string:--------A string:--------Low E string:-------- B gets two beats and the two G eighth notes get one, like this:High E string:--------B string: 0------G string: --------0-0 D string:--------A string:--------Low E string:-------- The third measure is the same as the first, except that the final note is two frets up, like this:High E string:--------B string: ----------3G string: 2--0 D string:--------A string:--------Low E string:-------- The fourth measure is the same as the second, except that the first note is one fret up, like this:High E string:--------B string: 1------G string: --------0-0 D string:--------A string:--------Low E string:-------- The G you start on here is an octave higher than the G you've used earlier. The next two notes descend from this G, like this:High E string:3--0--B string: --------------1-G string: --------- D string:--------A string:--------Low E string:-------- The B you start on here is made with the open B string and the final Fs are played as eighth notes on the high E string, like this:High E string:---------1-1-B string: 0--------G string: ----2------ D string:--------A string:--------Low E string:-------- Start on the open high E string here, like this:High E string:0------------------B string: -----1--3------G string: ---------- D string:--------A string:--------Low E string:-------- Finally, hit the first fret on the B string to bring the song to a close, like this:High E string:----------------B string: 1--------G string: ---------- D string:--------A string:--------Low E string:--------
A: Start with two G pickup notes. Play A-G-C in the first measure. Play B-G-G in the second measure. Play A-G-D in the third measure. Play C-G-G in the fourth measure. Play G-E-C in the fifth measure. Play B-A-F-F in the sixth measure. Play E-C-D in the seventh measure. End on C.

Q: Coffee freshness changes the moment the roasting process has completed. Buy coffee from a cafe that brews whole bean coffee, which retains more flavor when grinded. Local coffee shops are more likely to use whole beans than franchises, so frequent smaller, privately owned cafes. Black coffee has a bitter taste that can be unpleasant for new coffee connoisseurs. Add in a sweetener to your coffee if straight brews disgust you. Experiment with different sweeteners when ordering until you find the perfect balance. If you want to branch out, try gourmet sweeteners like vanilla sugar, muscovado, raw sugar, or chocolate powder. Acidic, light roasts taste best with milk or cream, which dulls its bite while letting its delicate flavor come through. The degree to which a coffee is roasted changes its flavor. Dark roasts (when the coffee beans are roasted until blackened) is generally more unpalatable for new coffee lovers. Start with the sweetest drinks (like mochas, cappuccinos, and frappuccinos) and move onto darker roasts as your palate changes. Light roasts retain the most caffeine, whereas darker roasts retain the least. If you're sensitive to caffeine, order a smaller cup. Making a morning ritual out of coffee drinking can accustom your tastebuds to the flavor. You'll also feel energized and ready to start your day. Try drinking coffee in the morning for a few weeks and see if you begin to enjoy it as a breakfast beverage. Like many acquired tastes, sometimes coffee takes time to warm up to. If you don't like your first drink, don't give up. All coffee blends taste differently: you may not have found the brew for you. If you've tried many different blends and still don't like coffee, you may just not have a taste for it. This is okay! Other beverages like tea, kombucha, and green smoothies can have similar benefits.
A:
Taste fresh coffee. Add milk, cream, and/or sugar. Try lighter roasts. Add coffee to your regular morning routine. Give yourself time.
