Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for persistent scratching or biting behaviors. Check for rough, patchy, or thinning fur. Keep an eye out for scabs and sores on the skin. Check your pets' fur and bedding for flea dirt.

Answer: If your pet is being bitten by fleas, it will likely be intensely itchy. You may notice your dog or cat scratching itself constantly or biting and chewing on areas that it can't reach with its claws. An animal being harassed by fleas may also act jumpy or irritable. If your pet is scratching and biting itself a lot, it may begin to damage or wear away its fur. Additionally, allergens in the fleas' saliva can cause hair loss. Check your pet for bald spots and rough or unusually dirty looking fur. Cats with flea allergies often lose hair over large portions of their bodies, while dogs typically lose fur around the base of the tail. A flea-bitten pet may have obvious spots and scabs, especially in areas where they scratch or chew the most. Look for sores and scabs in areas like the tail, rear end, legs, and neck. You might also notice general redness and irritation or areas where the skin is thickened or discolored. If your pet is allergic to fleas, they may develop sores that ooze or crust over. Even if you never see the fleas themselves, they often leave behind tell-tale black flecks in your pet's fur and bedding. Try running a comb through your animal's fur to see if you can find flea dirt (feces) and live fleas. Try combing your pet over a white surface, such as a piece of cloth or paper, so that any falling dirt or fleas are more obvious. To prevent the fleas from escaping and moving around your home, you can also comb your pet over a sink or tub with a little soapy water in it. This way, any fleas that you comb out of your pet's fur will die when they land in the water. Since flea dirt is primarily composed of blood, it will turn red or reddish brown if you mix it with water. Focus on the parts of your animal where fleas are most likely to be active. For example, fleas most commonly gather on the ears, neck, lower back, and base of the tail on dogs. On cats, fleas may concentrate on the back of the neck and top of the head.

Answer: ID tags should have your dog's name and your current phone number. That way, if someone finds your dog, that person can locate you. Be sure to update the tags if your information changes. A microchip is a harmless chip that is inserted into the back of the neck. The chip contains an ID that any vet or shelter can scan for. The ID can then be used to find your contact information so that vets or shelters can call you when they find your dog. Be sure to update your information as it changes, as out-of-date information will not be useful to your dog. One reason you should microchip and have ID tags on your dog is because collars can come loose when dogs are outside. The tags are then lost, which won't help anyone get your dog back to you. Make sure you don't have any holes in your backyard fences or anywhere that makes it easy for your dog to escape. Also, be careful when opening the door, making sure your dog isn't waiting to dart out. You can purchase a tag that goes on your dog's collar that has GPS tracking. If your dog gets loose, you can use your phone to track her down. For a more advanced option, microchips are available with this same technology, which would be embedded in your dog's skin, so it couldn't be lost.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be private. Be pleasant. See beauty. Fall in love. Avoid negative people.

Answer: You can keep things to yourself. So much stress comes from talking about problems with others. While its always ok to share with others if that feels peaceful and freeing to you, never feel obligated to talk about your problems or journey unless you want to. Let no one interfere with your inner needs. Avoid gossip. Friends who want to talk about others or who leave you feeling drained are toxic to your emotional health. Be kind and courteous. It warms your heart as well. See the beauty in everyone and everything. Noticing what is good about others, instead of what is bad, will help you to feel peaceful with the world. Fall in love with everyone you meet. Enjoy the spirit in others. Caring for others can bring peace to you. You can also care for animals, which can help you feel valued and loved. Limit time spent with people that make you feel negative in any way. Remember the famous saying, "He who angers you, controls you."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand other reasons why delays occur.

Answer:
Occasionally, the BART system encounters delays due to reasons ranging from medical emergencies on trains, equipment issues on trains and tracks, and police activity at stations. If it is very critical for you to be somewhere at a particular time, please aim to take a train that is expected to get you to your location well in advance. If arriving at a particular time is critical, check before entering the system whether there are any system-wide delays. You can use the BART service advisories and also check for announcements displayed at the station. If the BART delay occurs when you are already in a downtown San Francisco BART station and need to go to a location in San Francisco, consider using the Metro system (which shares station locations with the four downtown San Francisco stations). You can also consider using Uber, Lyft, or other car-ordering services. Order the service when you exit the train so that it arrives by the time you are out on the street. However, keep in mind that car-ordering services may experience significant surge pricing during system-wide BART delays, so check the surge multiplier before you use them. Keep in mind that during system delays, stations can get very crowded. This can make them unsafe to navigate. It can also make it harder to get Internet access through your cellphone, because a large number of people stuck in a small geographical area may be trying to use the Internet to while away their time and communicate to their friends and colleagues that that they are stuck, thus clogging the network.
