Q: If you're going to be on trails with steep drop-offs or rocky cliffs and your dog will be off-leash, it's better to have a dog that watches her step and has good balance than to get a dog that in her excitement might slip and fall. An agile dog will be an excellent companion for hiking because they'll be able to navigate tricky paths and trails without much assistance from their owner. Some dogs that fall in this category include: Weimaraner Akita Dogs that are easy to train usually make excellent hiking companions because they can learn the trails and how you expect them to behave quickly. They will also usually interact well with other hikers and dogs. Some of these breeds include: German Shepherd Labrador Retriever Norwegian Buhund Some dogs (like the Pitt Bull and Rottweiler) are prone to aggression unless trained very diligently. Others are difficult to train like Huskies and Akitas. Be careful when choosing one of the following breeds as a hiking partner: Pitt Bull Rottweiler Shiba Inu Husky A greyhound or a whippet, for example, will probably not enjoy a 10 mile (16km) hike because they are bred for sprinting, not endurance. Additionally, flat-faced breeds such as English Bulldogs will struggle to breathe on long hikes and in hot weather, and so generally shouldn't undertake endurance activities. Some breeds with high endurance include: German Shepherd Chesapeake Bay Retriever
A: Find a breed that is agile. Choose an easily trainable dog. Be cautious about certain breeds. Look for a dog with good endurance.

Q: The fan leaves are the large leaves that have five distinct points a large, long point in the center and two smaller points on either side. Fan leaves can be plucked with your fingers or clipped with scissors or shears. Some people choose to clip their fan leaves later, after they've cured the plant. This slows down the drying process and produces more flavorful buds. The sugar leaves are those that emerge from the buds themselves. They are so short that their stems cannot be seen. Only their tips are visible. Use your scissors to snip them off. Generally, it's a good idea to leave the buds you want (the ones close to the top of the plant) on the plant in order to slow the drying process. If you're in a high-humidity environment, you might need to remove the buds in order to advance the drying process. When the bud-bearing branches have been removed and partitioned into individual pieces, they must be cured (dried). Using string or twist ties, hang the branches on your laundry line so that all parts are exposed to air. Hang your plants in a room with a temperature of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) and no warmer than 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius). Use heavy ventilation in the form of a fan or a draft to help dry the branches at first. As they dry, gradually decrease the ventilation to increase the moisture in the room, but never let the moisture exceed about 50%. Don't expose your harvested plants to direct sunlight, heat, or moisture. The latter is especially bad, as it can produce mold, which can ruin a crop. The goal is for your branches to slowly, naturally dry, so that when you smoke the buds, they produce a pleasing flavor. This may take upwards of a week. After removing all the buds, clip the rest of the leaves from all of the branches. There's no right way to do this. A firm tug on each leaf stalk might be one person's preferred method, while clipping might be another's. Once a marijuana plant has been totally trimmed of its buds and leaves, it should be disposed of. Place it in your compost bin or put it out with the rubbish.
A: Clip the fan leaves. Trim the sugar leaves. Leave the buds on the plant. Hang the branches to cure. Dispose of your plant.

Q: Though you may feel that you have done nothing wrong, determine if there is anything at all that you can improve on. You might yell at her sometimes or rarely clean up after yourself. Though you can't control your mom, you can control yourself and work to minimize the issues you have with her. Domineering mothers often have a hard time letting go of control of their children and letting them be adults. Show your mother that you are responsible so that she feels comfortable letting you make your own decisions. Complete your chores, take on more responsibilities in the home, and keep your promises to your parents. Your mom's control might stem from simply trying to be involved in your life. Though she displays this desire in an unhealthy way, try to find a way to let her in. See if she'll let you stay out later on Saturday night if you do more chores that morning. If she is nervous about you going away to college, set up a communication plan and safety plan so she feels more secure. Your mom might be so domineering that you feel scared around her at times. However, begin to establish assertiveness in small ways. Look her in the eyes during conversations. Speak up, keep your voice strong and steady, and hold your head high. Your mom's control over you is probably so frustrating at times that you want to scream. Instead of lashing out at her or others, find a more productive way to channel your anger. Take up a hobby like painting, drawing, or writing poems. Sit in a hot bath to soothe yourself or meditate. You can also vent to someone you trust. Perhaps your dad, second mom, step parent, aunt, uncle, or grandparent is far less domineering than your mother. Sit down and have a talk with them to see if they can help you or give advice. They might be able to talk to your mom for you or have a tip on how to deal with her. Pull them aside and say something like, "Hey Dad, I'm not trying to go behind Mom's back or anything, but I'm starting to feel smothered. She won't even let me close my bedroom door to do homework. Do you have any advice or can you talk to her for me?"
A:
Assess your own faults. Show that you are responsible. Compromise together. Be assertive. Find an outlet for your anger. Enlist the help of another family member.
