California makes it easy to access and create a power of attorney document. The California Probate Code offers a form that complies with California law. In addition, the California Office of the Attorney General website provides a standard power of attorney for health care form. Between these two forms, you should be able to create a valid power of attorney that addresses the concerns you have. When filling out either form, the first step will be two identify each party to the power of attorney. First, you will include the principal's name, address, and contact information. Next, you will need to include the name of the agent or agents that were chosen. If you designate more than one person to act as an agent, you will need to designate the way in which decisions will be made. If you want each agent to be able to act on their own, simply state that the agents can act separately. If you want all of your agents to act together, state that the agents must act jointly. Each form will have a section for you to check off powers you want the agent to have, and each form will provide space for you to write out clear directives. Using the California Probate Code form, you can grant powers by simply initialing next to the powers already laid out. In order to withhold powers, simply avoid initialing next to that power. The subjects included in the form are: real property transactions; tangible personal property transactions; stock and bond transactions; commodity and option transactions; banking and other financial institution transactions; business operating transactions; insurance and annuity transactions; estate, trust, and other beneficiary transactions; claims and litigation; personal and family maintenance; benefits from social security, medicare, medicaid, or other governmental programs, or civil or military service; retirement plan transactions; and tax matters. In the health care form, the agent will be authorized to make all health care decisions unless exceptions are explicitly provided. With the different types of powers of attorney in mind, you need to determine exactly what needs to be accomplished. Durable powers of attorney are often appropriate for long-term care of someone experiencing serious medical issues who is in danger of becoming incapacitated. Durable powers of attorney are also often granted to trust administrators and conservators so the trustee can manage the estate without having to seek signatures on every document. For most other situations, a general or limited power of attorney will suffice. Even if the power of attorney will be valid for a long period, such as a period of incarceration or until a child turns 18, you should only take or delegate as much authority as necessary. The final part of a power of attorney should include specific powers you do not wish to confer. You want to include these exclusions in order to make clear the limits of the agent's powers. For example, if you do not wish to allow the agent to make real property decisions, including the purchase and sale of real property, explicitly state this in your power of attorney. Also, there are some issues that cannot be legally included in a power of attorney. For example, in California, an agent cannot make or change the principal's will.

Q: A healthy bitch can continue to eat a normal diet during the first part of her pregnancy. As her body weight increases, her food intake can be increased gradually. Keep her food intake the same for the 5 to 6 weeks of pregnancy. After the sixth week, slowly increase her food intake. By the time she's ready to birth, she should be eating 35-50% more food that usual. Feed her at least twice daily -- morning and night. It's better to feed her 3 times a day -- morning, noon, and evening. Some breeders recommend adding an additional protein source to your pregnant dog's diet, such as evaporated milk, eggs, meat, or liver. Providing small, frequent meals can help your pregnant dog feel more comfortable. Choose a place that is warm, dry, quiet, and separate from other dogs. Create a roomy box that has low sides. Bring her into the box every day so that she gets used to the area. Pet her and make sure time spent in the box is a positive experience for her. Create a whelping box well in advance, so that your dog has time to get used to it. You can purchase a whelping box, build one from wood, or repurpose a large plastic container. Husky gestation lasts about 63 days. When the arrival of the puppies is getting close, gather some supplies. Some things you may need include: Newspaper for bedding Bath mats or towels for bedding Towels for cleaning the puppies Paper towels for cleaning the whelping box Thermometer to check the bitch's temperature Heating pad to keep puppies warm Dental floss (unwaxed) for tying the puppies umbilical cords Sharp scissors to cut the umbilical cord Iodine to clean the umbilical cord. At the time of the birth, you may want to line the box with newspapers so that it can be changed several times a day. After a few days, you can switch to towels or other soft materials. These will still need to be changed about once a day. A few days before she is ready to give birth, your bitch may stop eating and start creating a "nest." About 1 day prior to giving birth, your bitch's body temperature should drop to around 99F (37C). During the first stage of labor, her cervix will dilate. Contractions will begin and she may whine and appear distressed or confused. You might notice her panting, straining, or moving around restlessly. This stage usually lasts 6 to 18 hours. Ideally, your dog will build her birthing nest in the whelping box you provided. When her water breaks, this signals the second and final stage of her labor. The water looks like straw-colored liquid. Her contractions will get more intense after this and she'll go into labor very soon after her water breaks. Puppies will appear sporadically every thirty minutes or so once full labor begins. Labor typically lasts about 4 hours. Most dogs will give birth easily without the need of human help. In most cases, mother dogs will give birth all on their own without much assistance. However, make sure you have your veterinarian's phone number and the number for local emergency animal clinic ready in case of emergency. Contact your vet if: The mother appears to be in extreme pain. The mother has powerful contractions for more than 45 minutes without the birth of a pup. More than two hours pass between the delivery of puppies. The mother dog is trembling or shivering. The mother dog collapses. A dark green or bloody fluid comes out before the birth of the first puppy. (After the first puppy, this is OK.) The mother shows no signs of labor 64 or more days after mating.
A: Feed your pregnant dog nutritious food at least twice daily. Prepare a whelping box. Prepare for the arrival of the puppies after 63 days of pregnancy. Line the box with newspaper right before she gives birth. Watch for the first signs of labor. Watch for her water to break and full labor to begin. Know when to contact a vet.

Article: Wear heavy duty clothing, gloves and eye protection as you never know what you will encounter. Many construction companies use the city dumps to dispose of material that they can't use or that they feel is not worth reclaiming. But you won't have the labor costs involved to strip paint from old windows and doors or to remove nails from lumber that the company would have, so it could be a great find for you.
