Q: If you want to maximize the shelf life of your dried bay leaves, you can't do better than to freeze them. Take the leaves out of the jar or bag they came packaged in and place them in an airtight zipper bag or plastic food storage container, then stash them in your freezer until you need them to create your next culinary masterpiece. Freezing bay leaves will preserve their flavor and aroma for years, if not indefinitely. No matter which storage method you choose, it's important to ensure that your bay leaves are exposed to as little heat, light, and moisture as possible.
A: Store your unused bay leaves in the freezer to make them last longer.

Article: Wear safety goggles and gloves at a minimum. Put on an apron to keep wood dust from getting on your clothes. Heavy work boots are also recommended both to keep sawdust from getting in your shoes, as well as to protect your feet in case a cut branch or log falls on them. Also, obtain and wear heavy-duty earmuffs to protect your ears from the loud sounds of machine-assisted wood cutting. If the log still has any branches attached, you will need to remove them with a hacksaw or pruning saw. Hold the saw blade at a 45 angle, with the teeth touching the branch, then move the saw back and forth while applying downward pressure. Discard each branch you remove until the log has been completely cut. If you're using a chainsaw, cut the limb on the side of the log opposite where you are standing for extra safety. Place the log into a vise with the cut end facing upward, then hold a drawknife over the open face, with the teeth positioned over where the bark and sapwood meet. Move the drawknife back and forth while pressing downward until a piece of the bark comes loose. Repeat until you have shaved all of the bark from the log. You can also hand-peel the bark from the log. Make sure you are wearing safety gloves. Grip a piece of loose bark from one end of the open face of the log, then pull it up and off the log. Repeat this process using other loose pieces of bark until it's all been pulled off. If some of the bark is hard to peel off, slide a knife blade or 5-in-1 painter's tool between the bark and the sapwood to loosen it. It's easiest to hand-peel bark from logs that have been dead for a year or 2, since this will give the wood and bark plenty of time to dry out. Sapwood is the outer, lighter-colored wood where water and sap flows, and it is susceptible to fungus. Place the handsaw teeth on the open face of the log where the sapwood meets the inner layerthe heartwood. Saw the sapwood off by moving the saw back and forth and exerting downward pressure on the teeth. Sapwood is also harder to seal than the heartwood, because it has a lot more moisture in it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Put on personal safety equipment. Cut any limbs or branches off the log. Remove the bark from the log with a drawknife. Eliminate the sapwood with a handsaw.

Q: Take care of your dog's teeth by getting into the habit of regular tooth brushing. Use a special dog toothbrush or a finger mitt. Wet the brush with water and gently rub it on the outer surfaces of the teeth. Once the dog is happy with this you can introduce a blob of dog toothpaste onto the brush. These pastes are tasty to dogs, don't need rinsing, and are free from substances harmful to dogs if swallowed, such as fluoride. Comb the dog through daily, and brush out at least once a week.Cavaliers have a soft, silky coat that can become knotted, especially when the dog is outdoors and gets leaves tangled in its fur. Regular brushing will keep the tangles under control, so they don't become matted. It's best check your dog over after each walk. Look for grass awns or burrs that may be lodged in fur around the ears or paws, in addition tangles and debris. Become familiar with your dog's body so you have a good idea of what a healthy body shape is for it. A dog in good body condition should have a waist line when viewed from above or the side, and you should be able to feel its ribs easily, but without the ribs standing out through the skin. If you inspect your dog's body regularly, for example when you brush it, then you will be able to spot changes more easily.
A:
Brush your Cavalier's teeth. Brush your dog regularly. Assess your dog's body while you brush it.
