INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When the dog is reaching her fertile phase, known as estrus or heat, her vulva will begin to swell. This can be seen on the outside of her body if you look at the area directly below her anus. The vulva will be puffy and will appear red in color. By the time she is in full heat, the vulva will swell to about three times its normal size. Along with the vulva swelling, she will also have bloody discharge coming out of her vagina. This discharge begins before the dog is fertile and lasts until after she has ovulated and is no longer fertile. Vaginal bleeding usually starts a week or so before the dog actually ovulates. Sometimes it is hard to spot the vaginal bleeding because the dog cleans herself quickly and does not allow it to become evident. In cases such as this, you should look for increased licking. During her fertile period, a female dog may urinate more than usual. This is a sign that her hormone levels are changing and that she may be ready to mate. The urine passed by a female dog in heat contains pheromones that signals to male dogs that she is in heat. There are tests that can be used to identify when a female dog is fertile and ready to mate. These can be done by veterinarians at their veterinary practices. One test is a vaginal cytology test. This is a non-invasive vaginal smear test that examines vaginal cells to look for changes associated with ovulation. To assess when your dog is fertile it may take several tries. The other test is a serum progesterone test. This is a blood test that looks at progesterone levels. It is very accurate and popular but does require that your dog's blood be drawn.

SUMMARY: Look for swelling of the vulva. Spot vaginal bleeding. Watch for increased urination. Consider getting your dog tested to determine when she is fertile.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An icon located on your desktop typically designates this program; if not, you can also locate the program by going to the "Start" menu, selecting "All Programs" and searching for the program. This will prompt a window to open allowing you to browse through the video files you want to compress. This will automatically put the file name of the AVI to be compressed into the "File Name" field in the video file selection window. This will then bring up a window showing the video file's importing progress. Do so by holding down the left mouse button and dragging your cursor over every video file component to highlight it. Do this by continuing to hold down the left mouse button and dragging the highlight components into the "Timeline" section located at the bottom of the Windows Movie Maker screen. This will prompt a "Save Movie Wizard" window to pop up. Click "Next." Your AVI video file will then compress to a smaller bit size. After video compression, the "Save Movie Wizard" will prompt you to finish the video compression and view your movie. To do so, simply press the "Finish" button.

SUMMARY: Open your Windows Movie Maker program on your PC. Click on the "Import Video" option underneath the "Capture Video" title in the column along the left hand side. Select the AVI video file you want to compress by clicking on the file to highlight it. Click the "Import" button. Select all of the video file components that have just been imported into Windows Movie Maker. Drag the video components into the "Timeline" feature. Select "Save to my computer" located in the column on the left hand side. Type in a file name in designated field in order to differentiate your original AVI video file from the newly compressed video file; then click "Next" Select the new size you want your AVI video file to compress down to from the video size dropdown menu.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether you are using a neti pot, a syringe bulb, or a different irrigation device, ensure that the device has been properly cleaned. Fill the device with a saline solution that has either been store bought or made at home using sterile water. Once you've drawn water into your irrigation device, you'll need to get in place. Lean over a sink to avoid spilling water everywhere (especially water that has been through your sinus). Tilt your head sideways over the sink. Some experts recommend tilting your head at a 45-degree angle to facilitate the best flow of water without any getting into your mouth. When you're ready, press the spout of your irrigation device gently into the nostril that is closer to the ceiling (the "upper" nostril, when your head is tilted). Do not shove the spout deep inside the nose or against the septum, as this may cause discomfort or injury. Once you're in position and have inserted your irrigation device, you may begin to irrigate the nose. Proceed slowly and carefully, especially if this is your first time irrigating your sinuses. Breathe through your mouth. Do not under any circumstances attempt to breathe through your nose, as this may cause water to go into your lungs and could present a choking hazard. Slowly raise the handle of your irrigation device. If you are using a syringe bulb, you may now begin to gently squeeze the saline solution out. If you are using a neti pot, simply let the water pour slowly into the nostril. Once you've irrigated from one side, you'll need to repeat the entire procedure for the other nostril. Switch the angle of your head to put the other nostril "above" the one you just irrigated. Sesame oil used as nasal drops can help to moisten and soothe your nasal passages, and it may also help to flush them out further. Try using a nasal oil blend to lubricate the inside of your nose after you flush your sinuses.

SUMMARY: Fill your irrigation device. Get into position. Irrigate the sinuses. Switch sides. Follow up with a few drops of a nasal oil that contains sesame oil.
