Article: Your vet will need a stool sample that is soft and pliable in order to test for parasites. Don't take the sample too far in advance and don't pick up stool that is old and dried out. Wait until a time close to your appointment to collect the sample, but be sure not to wait so long that your dog doesn't have a bowel movement when you need it to. If you can't get a really fresh sample, for instance your dog only poops in the morning and you have an appointment in the afternoon, then store the sample in the fridge. This will help to keep the stool fresh enough so that any tests that are run on it will be accurate. Make sure that the sample you bring in was collected within 12 hours of the appointment. Be sure to place the sample in the container inside of another container, such as a plastic bag, and keep it well away from the food in your fridge. You may also want to put a note on it to warn any other household members about what is in the container. Only place the sample in the fridge as a last resort in hot weather if you have nowhere else to keep it cool. While you probably only have one fecal sample to deal with, and thus won't get it mixed up with other ones in your fridge, there are likely quite a few in your veterinary office. To avoid any possible confusion at the veterinary office, label your sample with your dog's name.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Get a fresh sample. Store the sample in a fridge before the appointment. Write your dog's name on the sample container.
Article: Talk to your little sister about fun activities that you can do together. Try to find something that you both want to do. If you can't, compromise by doing one activity that she wants to do and one activity that you want to do. Ask her about her favorite activities by saying: "What do you like to do for fun?" "What fun things do you like to do at school?" "Let's play together! What do you want to do?" Since you're older, you have a better understanding of schoolwork than your little sister. If she's struggling with a math problem or has trouble spelling, offer to help her. Carefully explain the assignment and help her answer each question on her own. A great way to hang out with your sister is to do quiet activities together. First, invite your little sister into your room to hang out or go into her room. Next, tell her that you want to do quiet things while you hang out. This can include: Reading books Playing video games Drawing Playing on your phone Many of us get bored with our regular schedules. Add some excitement to your hang-out time by going somewhere fun. However, make sure you have your parents' permission to leave the house with your little sister. Examples of fun places to go include: The park A local fair or festival A mutual friend's house If you're too busy to spend a lot of time with your sister, you can still show her that you care. For example, if you have a driver's license, see if you can take her with you on a few errands. Other examples include: Making her breakfast in the morning Leaving a nice note in her lunch box Taking her with you when you hang out with friends

Article: Pour 2 cups (470ml) of vegetable oil into a deep pan and adjust the stovetop temperature to a high setting. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil as it heats. Once the oil has reached the desired temperature, use a slotted spoon to carefully place 1 pocket into the pan. Set the timer for 20 seconds and use a slotted spoon to remove the pocket once the time is up. You may be able to fit more than 1 ravioli pocket in the pan at a time. Just make sure that the pockets aren't touching, otherwise, they will stick together as they cook. The short deep-frying time of only 20 seconds is necessary so that the deep-fried beer remains alcoholic. The ravioli pockets need to be more soft than crispy when making deep-fried beer. As each ravioli pocket is removed from the pan, transfer it directly onto a plate that is covered with paper towels. This will help to absorb the extra oil. Place the ravioli pockets next to each other rather than stacking them. When the deep-fried beer pockets have been removed from the pan, they will be hot and may burn you if you touch them. Leave them to cool on the paper towel for a few minutes before enjoying your first taste of deep-fried beer! Hold the deep-fried beer pockets upright as you eat them, otherwise, the beer will spill. You can serve the deep-fried beer pockets with cheese sauce for dipping.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan until it reaches 325F (163C). Deep-fry the ravioli pockets in the oil for 20 seconds each. Place the ravioli pockets on paper towels to soak up the excess oil. Let the deep-fried beer pockets cool for 3-4 minutes before serving.
