Article: You might have an easier time getting the urine sample from your male dog if you have some help. Ask a friend or family member to either walk your dog or position the container in the urine stream. If you're not able to get a urine sample, don't worry. Simply contact your vet and let them know. They can give you extra guidance or suggest having their staff collect the sample for you. If you choose to have the urine sample collected at the vet's office, one of the staff members will take your male dog outside to get a sample when you arrive. If that's unsuccessful, the staff may use another method, called cystocentesis, to collect some urine. To perform a cystocentesis, several staff members will place your dog on its back while another staff member carefully inserts a clean needle directly into your dog's bladder and draws up the urine.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Have someone help you. Contact your vet. Allow the vet's staff to collect the sample.
Article: Plan out in your mind exactly what you want to tell the person. This will help you be clear, and will also help you stay focused on what you need to say if you start to lose your courage. Have answers ready for any questions you can anticipate the other person asking. He or she will almost certainly want to know why this is happening, and if there's any chance you will change your mind. Be specific about the grievances that have led you to this decision, and be clear about the fact that the relationship is over--this is not up for negotiation. Plan to say something like, "Because of X, I need to break up with you," not "I've been thinking maybe we need a break from each other." If you can, talk over what you plan to say with a trusted friend beforehand. Ask your friend to tell you if anything seems unclear, and what questions they might anticipate the other person having. You can also ask your friend if you are being too harsh, or if anything you are saying might give the other person false hope. Ending a relationship is hard. It will be difficult, both for you and the other person. Expect an emotional reaction, and do your best to steel yourself for it. Think about what kind of support you may need after the conversation. Make plans in advance to do what you will need to do to take care of yourself. You may need some time alone afterwards. Or, you may want to meet with a friend. Think about what will be most helpful to you and make arrangements.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Think about what you want to say. Get some feedback. Prepare yourself, mentally and emotionally.
Article: Once again, take the cushions off the couch. Also, tape off any areas you don't want to get spray paint on, using painter's tape. Tape those areas off thoroughly, as spray paint has a tendency to drift. Glue together any major cracks or use a patch. Sand the area down before painting. Create thin layers of spray paint on the paintable areas. Thin layers are very important when it comes to leather. Hold the spray paint well above the area, moving it around slowly to create an even, light layer. Start in an inconspicuous area to test what it looks like. Spray paint can become tacky and peel if you don't let it dry between layers. Make sure the painted area is completely dry before you add the next layer. You may need as many as twenty layers when painting a couch with spray paint. Once the couch has an appearance you like, stop adding layers. Let it dry completely. Leave it to cure for about at least two days, so you know it's completely dry and cured. Use a soft cloth to rub down the painted area so that you remove any paint that didn't get absorbed.

Prepare the couch. Apply the paint. Let it dry between coats. Wipe it off.
