article: When you make the appointment, indicate what time of day and what day of the week will work for you. To be sensitive to a pet owner's needs, veterinarians will typically schedule a euthanasia at the end of the day, when there are no other appointments. The day of the week will also be important. You may want to schedule the euthanasia for the end of the week, when you will have the weekend to process what happened and start the grieving process. If you know the euthanasia will be hard for you, bring someone with you to the appointment. Check with them before making the appointment to make sure they will be available. Check with your local health department about home burials for pets. Local laws may not allow pet owners to bury their pets in their yards. If you live in an apartment, or in the heart of a city, it is unlikely that you will be able to bury your hamster. Your veterinarian can recommend professional pet burial or crematory services. Contact them before your appointment so those arrangements can already be in place. Your veterinarian may also work with a pet burial or cremation service. Your hamster may be very sick, but he will probably appreciate you spending time with him in his final days. Although you may feel sad, or maybe even guilty about having him euthanized, do your best to remain calm around him. He could pick up on whatever you are feeling, so stay as positive as possible. No matter how much you have prepared yourself for putting your hamster to sleep, the actual act of having your hamster euthanized may be difficult for you. Your veterinarian will make sure the euthanasia will be quick, painless, and peaceful for your hamster. Your veterinarian will most likely administer a lethal injection into your hamster's belly and your hamster will pass away as a result. Your veterinarian will check your hamster for a pulse to ensure that he has passed away. It is your decision whether you want to be in the room for the euthanasia. Some pet owners cannot stand the thought of seeing their pet euthanized, and others want to be close to their beloved pet until the very end. It is also your choice in how to say goodbye to your hamster. You may want to say a few things to him before and after he has passed on. It is up to you.

Go down the halfpipe at an angle. Be patient and stay relaxed. Begin to try slide turns. Allow yourself to get a little air. Land properly."
article: Take a run or two at least before trying the halfpipe. You want to be limber and warmed up before attempting the halfpipe. While you can usually take the lift, it is better to hike because this will strengthen you and your legs. You will need strength and power to ride the halfpipe so hiking will help you get in shape. This protects you from injury because you can seriously injure yourself if you drop in from a wall improperly. Most halfpipes will have an entry ramp at the top, which makes it easier to get into the pipe safely. Traversing means that you will go back and forth down the halfpipe while keeping your shoulders facing uphill. Face the direction that you are going, using your arms to keep your balance. This is very similar to the way you first learned how to snowboard. Stay on your heel edge and go right and left up the walls while swinging your arms in unison like a pendulum of a clock. While in the flat you should let your board remain straight and flat. Don't try to get air the first times you try the halfpipe. Simply try to move right and left while keeping balance and stability. Make sure to maintain your balance and stability by keeping your knees bent while landing. This will be similar to the falling leaf exercise except you will be going up the sides of the halfpipe. Going straight across will make you lose speed but to gain height in the halfpipe you will need a bit of extra speed. You can also get extra speed on the flat by pumping your legs. This means you bend them then straighten them into the wall. Extra speed means extra height. Speed is everything in the halfpipe so make sure you keep your speed up while snowboarding the halfpipe. The halfpipe is quite difficult so you must be patient with yourself and stay relaxed. Being relaxed and loose is one of the most important aspects of riding correctly in the halfpipe. Be patient and don't get upset if you can't get above the lip at first. Start out by going only slightly up the walls of the halfpipe. Don't expect to get above the lip on the first day. While it is good to push yourself you also do not want to cause injury. Know your limits. Once you are feeling comfortable traversing the halfpipe you can try making slide turns. Slide turns mean that you will be going up the wall on one edge and coming down on the other edge. Go higher and higher when you are feeling more comfortable. For example, you will be turning from heel edge to toe edge, keeping your same foot in front. Once you are starting to feel comfortable you will likely begin to get a little air off the lip of the halfpipe. Let this air come naturally when it happens and keep working on making a turn in the air to land with the same foot forward. Allow your body to move downhill naturally while in the jump. A common mistake made by beginners is to land straight below where they take off on their downhill edge and readjust to angle their board slightly downhill on their uphill edge, creating a double turn. You rather want to allow your momentum to carry you forward while in the air, landing downhill from where you took off. This will create a rounded line for your path through the halfpipe. When you are in the air bring your knees to your chest for optimum balance and landing ability. Keep your knees bent in the landing and pay close attention to where you land. You do not want to land on the deck or the flat, where you can easily injure yourself. You should land instead as high in the transition as possible to maintain speed into the next wall of the halfpipe. You want to land with your body weight on your front foot to help carry you properly into the next side. The most important aspect in landing is confidence. You must be aggressive to land properly with your weight on your front foot. Be confident and let the transitions carry you up and down each wall. As confidence grows, you can add in single vertical 'pump' movements as you go down and up each transition, to gain speed.

Don't insist that you go see the movie that you want to see, or spend the time at a place you like. Ask her the things she prefers to do and try to make sure you spend a lot of time doing those activities too. Don't be afraid to show her something you like, but always keep track of how much fun she is having. Be fair. Compliment her looks, her personality, her sense of humor, and everything else. Don't overdo it, just be sure that you actually say it out loud when you feel one of those things. This will make her feel special and she'll probably like you more. For example, "you're way better at math than I am. It's really nice dating someone so smart." Another example - "I really like hearing your opinions about other people. You're always super perceptive." If you have trouble starting a conversation with her, ask her how her day went or what she wants to do. Don't be afraid to talk about whatever you have been thinking about that day, or interesting things that you saw. She'll probably think it's cool that you are sharing your life with her. Planning your dates ahead of time is a great idea. This way you'll have a chance to be more creative without the pressure of the moment. Try to avoid doing the same thing over and over again. For example, if you went to see a movie last weekend try going on a hike this weekend. It's a cliche that girls need presents all the time, but it's always nice to get a gift. Flowers are always appreciated, but you can also surprise her with a more personalized gift. If she really likes running, buy her a new running backpack or watch. You don't have to do it on her anniversary or anything gifts that come out of the blue are sometimes the nicest ones. It's important that the people who are close to your girlfriend think that you are a good person too. She'll appreciate you taking the time trying to get to know the important people in her life and they might even end up putting in a good word for you. It's also important that she knows you are serious about the relationship. Introducing her to your family and acting proud of her will show her that you want this to work out long term.
