In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Bruises happen when you bleed under your skin. Since a dog with low platelets has blood that doesn't clot correctly, bruises can occur due to your pet's normal activities, like playing or going for a walk. Keep in mind that a single bruise doesn't mean your dog is sick. You may notice the dog lying around a lot, and it might not be as interested in play. Additionally, it may resist going for a walk or playing with its favorite toys. If your dog seems generally tired and uninterested, it likely needs a vet check. There are many different causes for lethargy in dogs, so don't assume your dog has a low platelet count. Its nose may feel extra wet and sticky, or you may see the mucus dripping down its nose. Also, your dog may wipe its mucus on its fur or around your home, so be on the lookout for mucus streaks. Like with the other symptoms of low platelet counts, mucus streaks have other causes, as well. Excessive mucus may lead to coughing, which won't go away easily. Your dog's cough may sound like a hacking cough or might produce phlegm. If your dog is coughing, you need to take it to the vet to find out why, regardless of the cause. This happens from blood in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. If your dog's blood isn't clotting right, then it may have bleeding in its digestive system, which will result in very black feces. You might be very scared when you see your dog's poop change colors like this, but there's no need to panic. Your vet can find out what's causing your dog's symptoms and then treat them. Don't try to take your dog's temperature or pulse yourself. It's very easy to make a mistake when you aren't trained. Instead, ask your vet to evaluate your dog to see if it has these symptoms. It's not safe to take your dog's temperature at home, as the dog might move and get injured. Furthermore, feeling the dog's nose or ears is not a reliable way to take its temperature. Both of these serious symptoms require immediate vet care. However, your vet may still be able to help your dog recover if you get it treated in time. If it's after your vet's normal office hours, search online to find out if there's a 24-hour emergency vet service in your area.
Summary: Watch for sudden, unexplained bruising. Notice if your dog seems lethargic. Check your dog's nose for excessive mucus. Watch your dog for excessive coughing. Notice if your dog has dark, tar-like stools. Ask your vet to check your dog for a fever or heart murmur. See your vet immediately if your dog collapses or has urinary bleeding.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Quiet time can involve you reading various gospel oriented books or listening to devotionals or even Christian music. Just taking some time off to sit and think about certain verses or passages from the Bible would also amount to quiet time. It's frankly just isolating yourself from this noisy world and letting God know that you are waiting on him. So quality quiet time would surely make you feel closer to Jesus. It doesn't matter what church, as long as it is Bible based and teaches the truth. Be sure when you are attending you try to engage yourself in the mass. When hymns are being sung, sing along from the heart, when scripture is being read listen intently and focus your attention on the words. Being engaged in church can have you learning much more fulfilled and feeling closer to Jesus. If you belong to a church that has sacraments (the Roman Catholic church, for example) talk to a priest about receiving the sacraments. And before each one, study what their meaning is and how they will affect your walk with Jesus. Whether it be your first communion (receiving Jesus's body) or Confirmation (confirming that you will follow Jesus), think about Jesus and pray to him to prepare yourself. Be sure to read your bible (as stated in the last step). The Lord has blessed you with the Bible so that you can get to know Him better, among many other reasons. So, take advantage of having this great book with you by exploring it and enjoying it. Try to also follow the instructions He has given in the Bible. Try to analyse how each verse or passage can be applied in your life. For instance, Psalm 46 verse 1 says "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." So next time you see trouble brewing at your workplace, school, college etc, you can look it in the eye and recite this verse aloud. This will surely bring you closer to Jesus and you will feel His presence in you. To Jesus you are his precious child. He loves you no matter what problem you are facing. Tell him what you are up to or what your plans are or why you are sad or what you need and so on. He is your Father. He wants what's best for you and most of all he wants you! Go to him for everything and you will feel closer to him in no time. He wants you to pray in the Spirit as well as in the understanding and He wants you to pray for other people so that they will repent and so that they will be healed.
Summary: Spend quality quiet time with Jesus. Attend church regularly. Receive the sacraments. Read the Bible. Talk to Jesus through prayer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's imperative that you talk to your subject in a way that calms and relaxes him or her . Practice speaking slowly, with some rhythm and melody and no harsh or discordant tones. Use this as an opportunity to practice your script; if you struggle with what you want to say during induction it will break the subject's focus. You also should not sound like you're reading off a script. Practice will help you sound natural. You will want to make sure that he or she is relaxed. Inform him or her that you might touch him or her lightly, so that he or she is not surprised in a way that would cause him or her to break focus. If your subject is wearing a skirt, give her a blanket to put over her legs so that she does not need to worry about the way she positions herself. Similarly, tell your subject that is okay if he or she coughs or moves. If he or she is struggling to suppress a biological function, it will likely break his focus. Similarly, tell him or her to keep his or her legs uncrossed, otherwise he or she might get caught up by repositioning his or her legs. If he or she is wearing glasses, have him or her remove them. A distinct sense of fear will prevent him from falling into hypnosis. You want to let him know what you will not be able to manipulate them and that he will not be endangered by the hypnosis. Simply indicate "This is a perfectly safe procedure. You will enter into a state of increased relaxation and focus, but you will be in control the entire time." Always begin by asking if he r she is ready to be hypnotized. Establishing consent is important for ensuring that he or she is mentally ready and should calm him or her as well. A simple, "Do you agree to be hypnotized?" should be sufficient Hypnotic subjects need to be willing to engage in the procedure and psychologically susceptible. Studies have shown that approximately 80% of subjects are moderately susceptible, 10% are highly susceptible, and another 10% have low susceptibility. Susceptibility is positively correlated to how well the subject is prone to fantasy and empathy. His or her ability to focus while, for example, reading, also correlates to susceptibility. It is often thought that hypnosis is easier in a relaxing environment with few external sounds or distractions. While this sort of hypnosis certainly won't hurt, some studies indicate that hypnosis is equally as easy to reach in disturbing settings
Summary:
Practice speaking in a soothing tone. Prepare your subject mentally and physically. Tell your subject that he or she has nothing to worry about. Ask for permission. Beware that not all people respond the same way.
