INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Because of the English bulldog's skin folds, especially those on the face and around the lips, will need to be carefully examined each day for signs of infection. Normal yeast found on the body will thrive and flourish in these dark, warm, and moist crevices. These should be gently washed and thoroughly dried at least every other day, more often in those dogs prone to infections. The English bulldog's short hair coat will shed so a thorough brushing once a week with a soft bristled brush is recommended. While you're grooming, keep an eye open for any fleas, ticks, or mites, along with any lumps, bumps, or cysts on the skin. These, along with any scabs, redness, or itchy skin, should be brought to your veterinarian's attention. Brushing time is a good time to look at the nails and paws. The nails might need to be clipped. If you haven't performed this before ask you veterinarian technician to demonstrate. The procedure needs to be done correctly so you don't trim the "quick," or the part of the nail where the blood vessels and nerves are. Once a dog has been "quicked," or the quick has been cut, it will be hard to trim your puppy's nails, due to fear of pain and bleeding.

SUMMARY: Clean your puppy regularly. Brush your puppy regularly. Inspect your puppy's feet regularly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're paying for the Internet, but aren't necessarily a heavy user, there's probably an easier way to watch YouTube and check your email. Most coffee shops and an increasing number of other retail locations offer free Wi-Fi to customers, and some towns are even undertaking free public Wi-Fi projects. Likewise, most libraries have free Internet connections that you can use. Stop draining your paycheck with Internet subscriptions you could get elsewhere for free. Hackers can enter the free Wi-Fi connections, and using them can put you at risk for being hacked. If you're paying for the paper, stop. Getting access to the newspaper for free, or getting some variety of reading material doesn't require turning over your hard-earned money. College campuses regularly make newspapers available in the entryways of certain buildings. They're supposed to be for students, but public campuses are easy to walk around. Get the New York Times for free, or the campus paper. Free weeklies that focus primarily on arts and entertainment, or other niche markets, are available in most larger towns. Pick them up for free on the street, or in coffee shops, record stores, and other venues. The best place for free entertainment has to be the public library. From Wi-Fi to the daily newspaper, you can get almost anything you want for free at the library. Check out the latest DVDs without having to pay for them, read the current issues of your favorite magazines, newspapers, and books, and check out free CDs and upload them to your computer so you can keep them on your iPod. Free stuff, as long as you return it on time. Downloading music for free doesn't have to be illegal, or throw you into the deep water of the shady parts of the internet. Learning to find free legal downloads is a great way of learning about new groups and hearing new stuff on the cheap. Check out Bandcamp and Soundcloud for free singles, free downloads, and whole albums available for pay what you want plans. Enter zero and download albums for free. If you're a regular user of YouTube when you want to hear a song, you can download the audio files from YouTube videos quickly with a freeware client like YouTube to MP3 or other free programs that isolate the audio and download it to your computer. Got a big cable bill every month? Cancel it. Head to coffee shops or bars to watch the big game, or other places where the TV is on all the time. Watch TV while you're doing other things in public and you won't have to worry about paying for it at home. If you have access to the internet, watch your favorite programs on Hulu or other online venues for free instead of paying for 300 channels with nothing on. Getting in to a show for free? Why not! While it's not the most reliable way of getting into an event (at least compared to actually buying a ticket), lots of places like zoos, museums, festivals and concerts will become a bit lazier about guarding the door in the last 20 or 30 minutes before the show's over. Some places, if you ask about tickets, might even just let you go in. Can't hurt to ask. If you hear about an outdoor concert, don't bother with a ticket. Bring some lawn chairs and set up right on the other side of the fence. Free tunes on a nice night? Who cares if you can't see the stage.

SUMMARY: Use free Wi-Fi connections. Pick up free newspapers. Go to the library. Download free music. Watch TV in public. Wait until closing time at venues.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If the other party is riled up and looking for violence, words might not do any good, but it's usually a good idea to try. Physical fights can very likely end people in the ER, so avoiding them at all costs is advisable. Try to determine why the other person is angry, and see if you can talk them down. Some people may be motivated not by anger but by something else, like a mugger whose motivation is money. Trying to talk them out of the attack would be a bad idea that could cause even more trouble. In such a situation, giving up your money without defending yourself is the wisest choice to avoid harm. Physical fights very often start as a verbal fight, an argument. If you sense that a confrontation you're in might escalate to physical violence, try to quell the argument. First, lower your voice and end the shouting match. Say things like "I don't want to fight," and "I understand why you're upset" to make it very clear that you're not interested in escalating the conflict. Once the other person has calmed down some, start talking it over by conceding the points of the argument that they are right about, and what, if anything, you did wrong. While it may seem easier to fight, you should always run away rather than fight. It might wound your pride to run away from a fight, but a wounded pride is better than a wounded body, especially when a wounded body can have serious long-term repercussions. If you tried talking it out, and that didn't work, try getting away. Don't turn your back and run, as this leaves you vulnerable. Just slowly back away, while watching for any sudden moves. If your assailant is a mugger, give him your money. Chances are he has a knife or some other kind of weapon, and the money in your wallet is not more valuable than your life. Most fights with no good reason behind them start because of a combination of intoxication and miscommunication. Don't let your ego get in way of apologizing, even for something you didn't do. And keep your voice low and calm when you try to reason with the other party. This will avoid an escalation of shouting that leads to fists being thrown.

SUMMARY:
Try talking it out first. Let go of your ego and escape. Lower your voice and apologize.
