Since cats are extremely adaptable, a loss of vision does not usually lessen their quality of life.

One of the most striking of all canine coat colorings is the merle pattern. Often associated with the Australian shepherd, this color pattern can be found in many other breeds as well. In addition to the colorful coat, the gene that causes the merle coloration can also affect the pigment in the eyes, resulting in blue eyes, or brown or amber eyes with flecks of blue.
The condition of having only one blue eye is called heterochromia iridis. It is a genetic anomaly caused by a partial or complete lack of pigmentation in the iris of a dog's eye. While it is not necessarily linked to problems in the nervous system or other defects, Dalmatians with one blue eye and one brown eye -- and other animals, such as white cats with only one blue eye and one normal-colored eye -- are often deaf in one or both ears.

It can also improve the aesthetics of your interior space by giving your living area a more open feel. Enlarging a doorway is an extensive process that may take two or three weekends to complete. However, as long as the wall does not support the weight of the home's structure, you can complete this task using common carpentry supplies and tools.
The hearth encompasses the area in front of your fireplace or stove. Although the hearth is usually decorative to add to the fireplace, it's also preventative. Fireplaces and wood stoves put out a lot of heat; the hearth consists of nonflammable materials to absorb the heat and protect your flooring and structure. Your fireplace or stove should recommend a specific R-value for the hearth material, or it may simply recommend what products to use to build your hearth to protect wood subfloors and joists. If you're building over a concrete slab, the hearth is strictly for aesthetic purposes and you…
Building codes typically require that stair treads be within 3/4 inch of 10 inches wide. This includes the recommended 3/4- to 1 1/4-inch overhang. If your treads are 10 inches wide and do not overhang, you can add a 1 1/4-inch overhang by replacing them with treads made from 1-by-12s that are actually 11 1/4 inches wide. Replacing the staircase with wider treads will result in longer, less steep stairs. That may be a problem if your stairs need to be steep in order to fit in a small space.
Putting on eyeshadow might seem like a relatively simple task: pick a color you like and apply it generously. In reality, choosing the right eyeshadow combinations is more of a skilled art. As a general rule, choose combinations of colors that are complementary to your eye color, although breaking this rule can also provide a dramatic effect. It's best to combine colors that are close to one another in color harmony. Mixing vastly differently colored eyeshadow can produce a shocking result that will not make you look your best.

Having the right tool for a cleaning job is essential, and maintaining your tools is equally important for optimum performance. Facilitate the drying and aeration of your brooms, mops and similar items by using a broom stand that you make yourself. Storing them in a stand -- with sufficient room between each item -- will prevent crushed or wet broom bristles, and mops that develop mildew because they can't air-dry properly.
As you age, the delicate skin around your eyes starts displaying fine lines and wrinkles. Makeup can help camouflage these signs of aging. However, the thick eye makeup you used in your 20s and 30s is not flattering anymore. It can settle and cake into creases and lines, and accentuate your wrinkles. You may end up looking older than you actually are. To avoid this, learn which makeup products to use and how to correctly apply them.

The easiest way to make an attractive lollipop stand from acrylic plastic is to drill holes in a pre-made acrylic display riser. While it’s possible to make your own riser from scratch, the materials, labor and specialized tools required make this option considerably more expensive. Acrylic risers are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors; some even have two or more tiers, which is useful if you have a wide variety of flavors to display. As a rule of thumb, your riser should be roughly two-thirds as tall as your lollipops. This makes it much easier for…

Shimmery eyeshadow can be used as a light, powdery eyeliner. Unlike pencil eyeliner, it's easy to blend and blur the edges of eyeshadow for a subtle, natural look. Eyeshadow also can be applied in layers for a dramatic evening look. If you've never used eyeshadow with glitter in it, do a patch test on the corner of your eye 24 hours prior to application. Some people develop painful allergic reactions to glitter eyeshadow.
Fondue is the companionable practice of melting a cheese sauce or chocolate at the table in a suitable pot, and gathering friends or family around to dip their favorite foods into it. The practice goes back centuries in Switzerland, where it is something of a national dish. In America, fondue has been in and out of fashion over the decades. If you would like to host a fondue party but don't currently possess a set, you can improvise one using simple materials found around the home.

A balloon column, tree, topiary or arch all need a sturdy balloon stand to support them, whether you are decorating for a school dance, anniversary party or wedding. Create several balloon stands out of strong yet lightweight PVC pipe. Tie two balloons together and twist them around the balloon stand. Twist on more pairs of balloons until you create a column of color that can add drama to a large space. Create several balloon stands, making them the same height or in varying sizes for added impact.
Split-level home designs are often used when building on an incline such as on the side of a hill. Small flights of stairs separate the levels from each other, and the outside of the house might look smaller than the house actually is because of the incline the house sits on. If you think your split-level house looks smaller than you would like from the outside, adjust the coloring and the landscaping to improve the perception.
The whipstitch is basically an easy stitch to "whip" together two edges. Because it's long and loose, however, and can be adapted to any spacing between stitches, the whipstitch is well suited to making eyelashes and brows for stuffed animals and rag dolls. Remove hard button eyes from toys for small children so they don't choke, and replace them with hand-embroidered eyes. Use hard-twisted pearl cotton floss, which doesn't fray even at three or four times the stitch length of other embroidery techniques, and work from the pupil outward.
Pet ferrets sleep in warm, soft places that shape around their bodies. This is why most domesticated ferrets sleep in hammocks. Ferrets spend the majority of the day sleeping and need a comfortable place to curl up for a nap. A self-standing ferret hammock allows the versatility of choosing the hammock location in the cage or room. These beds are lightweight, easy-to-build and last for years.
A lack of conveniently-situated trees does not preclude a summer afternoon spent catching rays in your hammock. If you can't hang your hammock between trees or other pre-existing posts, a hammock stand can serve the same purpose. Bamboo hammock stands are surprisingly simple to construct and can support just as much weight as those made of wood, while weighing much less and holding up to the elements better than their lumber counterparts.
Since concrete porch surfaces usually function only as floors, the joint between separate porch slabs doesn't transfer loads or require intricate joinery. If you attempt to bond the separate slabs with a concrete bonding agent, the slabs' natural movements will probably cause cracking along the joint. To prevent damage to both the new and existing slab, fill the border between the slabs with expansion joint material. Specially manufactured expansion joint products include flexible rubber and foam strips. Alternatively, builders sometimes use a piece of pressure-treated framing lumber to separate the slabs. Framing, pouring and finishing a slab addition is labor-intensive…
Eye makeup will really pop when you add eye sparkles. Eye sparkles, also known as eye glitter, give you a glamorous look for a night of fun.

Makeup can enhance your appearance, but combining heavy eye makeup with a bright, obvious lipstick color can give you a clown-like, unnatural look.

With the right tools and the correct application methods, you can sport this popular look, too.

Make use of eye shadow to camouflage droopy eyes and make them appear wider and brighter than they actually are.
