Article: Once you have brainstormed your poem, you should sit down and create a first draft. You may decide to focus on certain scenes with your friend that illustrate your friendship. You should use sensory details to describe the scene, such as any smells in the room with you and your friend, any colors or eye catching details, any sounds, and any items that you held or touched. Using sensory details will help the poem feel vibrant and engaging. You may decide to focus on a scene of when you first met your friend or a where your friend did something brave and wonderful for you recently. You should try to describe the scene from your perspective and then discuss why you think what your friend did was so great or so interesting. For example, rather than just write "I met you when I was in high school", you might say, "There I was, my hair in braids and my braces flashing in the light, when I ran into you with your dyed black hair and platform shoes in the hallway and thought, who's that girl?" Make the poem personal to you and your friend by including personal traits about your friend that you admire or find distinct. You may also include personal traits that you both share and discuss how these traits make your friendship stronger. For example, in Mia Pratt's "A Toast to Our Friendship", the author notes personal traits that she shares with the friend she is writing about, comparing them to "a female Jordan and Scottie Pippen", who "both share identical shoe sizes, body weight, and consumption of iron pills" as well as "identical patterns of speech". These details make the poem feel personal and unique to the friendship the author shares with her friend. Though you can decide if the first person or the third person is a good fit for your poem, the first person perspective will help the poem to feel more personal and intimate. The first person "I" perspective will allow you to discuss your friendship from your point of view and address your friend directly by referring to "you" as well as "we" when you are talking about the two of you together. After you have created your poem, you should read it out loud to yourself to hear how the words sound together in each line. Notice if any lines should awkward or not quite right. Check for any words that seem too vague or unclear. You should also make sure you are using specific detail and sensory descriptions to make the poem feel engaging. You may want to mark up the poem to note any awkward lines or words. You can then edit the poem for clarity and tone, focusing on the sections you have marked. Once you are satisfied with your poem, you should share it with your friend as a surprise gift or casually hand it to her the next time you see her. Showing your poem to your friend will allow her to read about how much you value her and appreciate her friendship. She may even be inspired to write a poem about you and share her perspective on your friendship.

Article: If you cannot physically control your dog or cannot place safety equipment (like a muzzle) on it, you should seek help from a board-certified animal behaviorist. Do not attempt to deal with the dog's aggression on your own unless you feel safe and prepared to do so. Using a muzzle, gentle leader, or harness will help you control your dog and protect other dogs as well. Your dog will need to get used to wearing a muzzle, gentle leader, or harness, so practice putting it on, leaving it on for 15 minutes or so, and taking it off several times. Reward your dog during these practice sessions. Make sure the muzzle, gentle leader, or harness fits properly! Dogs are sensitive to the moods of others, especially when they are in a state of aggression. The more calm you are when other dogs are approaching the less likely your dog will be to exhibit aggressive behavior. Avoid tensing up the leash, forcing your dog to move quickly, or raising your voice if you anticipate a aggressive outburst. Instead, calmly lead your dog away from approaching dogs or if they are already displaying aggressive behavior. Remember, the calmer you are the calmer your dog will be. If you see another dog approaching, move to the other side of the road, walk to another side of the park, or take a safe distance and wait for the dog to pass. Creating space between your dog and the other dog will help you avoid any aggressive interaction. Try using a blockade, like a car or tree, when another dog is approaching. Avoid pulling back on the leash when pulling your dog away from other dogs. Instead, pull your dog to the side and calmly lead them away. The more frequently and consistently your dog interacts with other dogs the less likely they are to display aggressive behavior. Scheduling regular play dates with other dogs, walking calmly by other dogs, and have brief encounters with dogs at the dog park with help desensitize your dog. Keep a long distance when first desensitizing your dog to other dogs. Once they seem comfortable continue approaching at a steady rate and stop and wait once their aggression is triggered again.
