Animals will use many parts of their bodies to convey various feelings. Being observant to how your pet uses his body can let you know if he's feeling playful, sick, or maybe even angry. For example, your horse's eyes can indicate that he is alert (fully open), drowsy (half open), or having problems with one eye (problem eye stays shut). Your dog may narrow his eyes and stare at you to indicate that is feeling aggressive. He may also avoid eye contact with you to show that he is submissive or showing deference to you. Your cat's ears may go back if he is feeling particularly anxious about something. Dogs and horses will prick their ears up and slightly forward to indicate concentration. Your dog may hold his mouth slightly open, without showing his teeth, to indicate that he is relaxing, cooling off by panting, yet alert. Most pets and other animals do not show their teeth to display pleasure, joy or fun. Of course, human beings do. Pets/animals, instead, show their teeth to prepare to fight -- as if to say, "look out, I bite," in fear, threat, anger or fun when serious or playing and wrestling! Just like the eyes, ears, and face, your pet's legs and tail can provide helpful insight about how he's feeling. For example, your horse may slowly flick his tail to swish away flies, but may flick it more quickly to convey anger or annoyance. Similar to horses, cats will flick their tails quickly to indicate anger. When your dog is holding his tail at a position that is either level to, or slightly lower than, his body, he is showing that he is feeling friendly. Your horse can use his legs to buck and show that he is feeling playful. However, bucking could also convey uncertainty. Your pet can also communicate with you through the ways in which he positions and moves his body. For example, if your dog suddenly freezes and tenses his body, he could be conveying that he is uncertain about something or possibly preparing to attack. If your horse is walking very stiffly, he may be stressed, nervous, or in pain. If you have a small pocket pet, such as a guinea pig, you may notice that he is particularly fidgety if he is feeling irritable or agitated. If your cat is lying on his back, he may be conveying two different things: relaxation (usually accompanied by a purr) or anger (usually accompanied by a growl).

Thread the strap into the buckle from behind, so that the emerging strap is pointing away from the patient's body. Keep feeding the strap through the loop and over the teeth until the belt is secured but not yet snug around the patient's body. If the buckle is centered right over the patient's belly button, it's more likely to cause discomfort or even pain when you tighten it. Instead, move the buckle to one side or the other so that it's halfway between the belly button and hip bone. Ask the patient if they have a side preferencethey may have a tender spot on one side of their abdomen, for instance. With the buckle moved to the side, pull on the free end of the strap to cinch the belt around the patient's abdomen. Make the belt tight enough that you can barely fit your fingers between the belt and the patient's clothing and body. If you can't feed your fingers beneath the belt strap, or if the patient says the belt hurts, it's too tight and should be loosened a bit. If you can pinch the fabric of the belt strap between your fingers, it's too loose and should be tightened. Thread the strap into the opposite loop (the one without teeth) from the front, so that it passes over the center of the buckle. Continue to feed it through the loop until the strap is fully tightened between the two buckle loops. In most cases, you'll end up with a fairly substantial length of belt strap hanging free. To get this loose belt material out of the way, tuck it once or multiple times into the belt where it wraps around the patient's waist. This is especially important if the excess belt strap hangs down to the floor. It could easily become a tripping hazard in this case.

You can use a variety of types of ribbon to create a hippie headband. If you like two types of ribbon, try gluing the thinner ribbon on top of the wider ribbon for a fun look. Many ribbon types will look good for a boho look. Lace Suede Satin Measure your head with the ribbon by wrapping it around your head. Pinch the ribbon where the ends meet to measure the circumference of your head. Cut the ribbon about four inches shorter than the circumference of your head. If you want to make the headband a no-slip headband, you can sew a strip of the hook side of velcro on the underside of the ribbon. Use scissors to cut about 5 inches of elastic. The elastic shouldn't be too wide, inch elastic works great for making headband. You can use elastic in any color, but if you choose a color that matches your hair it will blend and look more natural. Use hot glue to glue the ribbon to the elastic. Glue about inch of the end of the elastic to the end of the ribbon. Repeat with the opposite ends. Make sure you glue the elastic to the underside of the fabric, not the printed side. Wait about two to three minutes or until the glue is completely dry to wear your headband.
