Q: Canine diabetes can start when a dog is heavier than average. The best way to see if this could be an issue for your dog is by checking your dog's rib cage. Run your hand along your dog's rib cage. You should be able to feel the ribs easily. If not, your dog may be overweight. Some dogs have incredibly long and thick coats which may make it more difficult to feel their ribs. Another good test is to feel for their back hip bones. If you can feel them by pressing down lightly, then your dog is probably not overweight. If your pet is overweight, talk to your veterinarian about safely decreasing calories and increasing exercise. There are special diets that may be appropriate or you may achieve success with your dog by cutting down on treats and snacks and adding in a few more walks per week. Diabetes usually develops in dogs between the ages of seven and nine. As your dog gets older, decreased exercise can lead to weight gain. This usually indicates increased levels of glucose and an insufficient level of insulin, which leads to diabetes. Some breeds of dogs are more commonly affected with diabetes, although any dog can develop the disease. Miniature Poodles, Mini Schnauzers, Dachshunds, Beagles and Cairn Terriers are well represented on this list. Mixed breed dogs are not immune to developing diabetes. Intact females (unspayed) are more prone to diabetes. A high-risk dog is an overweight, intact female from an predisposed breed such as a Dachshund or Beagle.
A: Recognize that overweight dogs are more likely to become diabetic. Take note if your dog is older than seven. Know what breeds are more susceptible.

Q: If your tattoo is quite small or light in color, it may be possible to cover it up with an airbrush spray tan. These spray tans not only darken the skin but also even out skin tone and cover imperfections. Call into your local tanning salon to see if they offer airbrushing services. Show them your tattoo and ask them if they think the treatment would effectively cover it up. At-home spray tan products such as Sally Hansen airbrush legs can also be used to try to cover up small, light-colored tattoos.
A: Get an airbrush tan.

Q: You do not need to chop chicken into smaller pieces but can cook whole drumsticks or thighs. Always wash your hands after handling raw meat. Slice the onion in half lengthwise, then peel it. Placing the flat side of the onion on the chopping board, thinly slice the two halves. Peel 4 cloves of garlic, then use the flat end of your knife to crush all 4 cloves. Chop the cloves into very small pieces. Taste the sauce to see how much pepper you want to add. Cover the bowl and put it into the refrigerator. 1 hour is all it needs to marinate, but if you are working on a time crunch, you can marinate for only 30 minutes. If you have a lot of time, you can marinate it overnight.
A: Chop pork into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the onion. Peel and chop the garlic. Mix the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl. Marinate for 1 hour.

Q: Guide your horse next to a mounting block. From the block, push down and lean into the saddle with your hands, allowing it to feel your weight. You may need to try this multiple times so the horse is used to having weight in the stirrups without moving away. Mount your horse and sit calmly in the saddle for a few minutes before dismounting. Knowing how to mount a horse properly will help you as a rider, and help your horse get used to the sensation. Your horse will get used to the motion of being mounted and dismounted. It will also get comfortable holding the weight of a rider. Remain in the saddle in short periods of time and don't move. This will build their strength and prevent injury to joints or muscles. When you're in the saddle, gently squeeze your horse with your legs to begin walking. If it doesn't begin walking, you can gently tap it with your heels. Low-impact, low-speed exercise done in sessions of 30 minutes to 1 hour are best for your horse's training and health. Your horse is ready for walking if it does not flinch or resist when being saddled or mounted.
A:
Use a mounting block to climb in the saddle. Mount and dismount from the saddle in 10-minute intervals. Begin walking your horse while in the saddle.
