In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are rushing to get there, you won't have time to calm yourself down before your massage. Being calm will help it go more smoothly. How tense or relaxed you are transfers to your muscles, and you want your muscles as relaxed as possible. Plus, getting there early gives you time for paperwork. During massages, therapists may apply oils to your skin to help with the massage process. However, if you are allergic to a certain oil, powder, or lotion, they'll switch to something else. Your therapist will likely ask you about this, but if they don't, you can bring it up with them. That includes earrings, necklaces, rings, and watches. That way, your therapist can access all of your muscles without any restrictions. You may want to leave these at home to make it easier. You don't have to strip down for a massage. Just take off what your comfortable removing. If you want to leave most of your clothing on, be sure to pick something that's soft and comfortable. If you decide to take off more of your clothing, keep in mind you will be covered by a sheet most of the time. The therapist will only lift the areas of the sheet to reveal the parts they need to work on. If something doesn't feel right or if you'd prefer they didn't touch an area that they're working on, you can speak up. Don't be afraid to communicate your wants and needs. For instance, you might say, "Hey, that feels a little painful. Can you maybe go easier on that spot?"
Summary: Arrive at your appointment ahead of time. Make the therapist aware of any allergies you have to oils or lotions. Take off any jewelry you're wearing. Remove only as much clothing as you'd like. Speak up if you're uncomfortable.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To play tug of war, show the dog the rope and let him take it in his mouth. Hold onto the other end and pull the rope a little, but not so much it hurts his teeth. Let him pull it back and forth, then let him take it, while you smile and look happy. Growling is normal in this context, not hostile. Some dogs might interpret tug-of-war as a game of dominance. Most dogs love raw hides, bully sticks, and other natural chew toys. Durable, nontoxic rubber chew toys are a longer-lasting option. Either way, supervise the dog to make sure she doesn't injure her gums from over-chewing or from splintered pieces of bone. These toys usually have a hidden container that you stock with treats. This could be a good choice to entertain your dog while he's home alone. There are all kinds of other toys for different kinds of dogs. Here are a few to consider: If your dog loves to run, get a supply of balls for him to chase. Some dogs prefer soft fabric balls, but these quickly become dirty and worn. Many dogs grow attached to animal toys. Get stuffing-free toys from a pet store, since stuffing can be messy and could injure the dog if eaten. If you have cats, see if the dog likes cat toys. Some dogs enjoy laser pointers and string. This can upset or alarm the dog. If your dog acts violent or overprotective around toys, food, or other objects, learn about resource guarding and how to change the behavior.
Summary: Play with rope toys. Give the dog chew toys. Buy the dog puzzle toys. Explore other options. Do not forcefully remove a toy.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Combine a 50/50 mixture of baking soda and water in a bowl and mix until it becomes a thick paste. You will need enough of the paste to completely cover the rust, so keep the bowl, baking soda, and water nearby in case you need to make more. Baking soda is generally best at minor rust removal. Severe rusting may respond better to other methods. Add a squirt of lemon juice to the paste for strengthened removal properties. Dab the paste on a brush or sponge and apply it to the rusty bike. Do not scrub or remove the paste immediately: it will need time to set and break down the rust. Let the paste sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. The baking soda paste should be thick enough to evenly coat the rust patch without dripping off of the bike. Using a plastic scrubber or steel wool, scrub the baking soda solution. As you scrub, you should notice the rust breaking down and detaching from the bike. If you do not notice this, add more of the baking soda paste to the bike and scrub with more force. Use a toothbrush as an alternative if no scrub pads are available. After you are finished scrubbing, leave the baking soda on for about 10-15 minutes to reach stubborn rust. Then, wipe off the paste with a dry microfiber cloth. Make sure the bicycle is completely dry to prevent further rusting. Store the bike in a cool, dry place to keep the rust from returning. If there is still some rust left over, repeat the same process again or try another method.
Summary:
Mix baking soda and water in a bowl. Put the paste directly on the rust for about 15 minutes. Scrub the baking soda with a scrub pad. Wait about 10 minutes before wiping off the baking soda.
