My dog has some dirty crusty stuff in her ear and she shakes her head, favoring that ear. Can anyone give me good advice for a safe, easy way to clean her ear out? I can get her to lay on her side quietly. I know everyone's going to say take her to the vet, but if I pay the vet to clean her ears everytime they need it then what good am I doing for myself? I do all of her other grooming so this should be included.

I have a 1 and a half year old cattledog/pitbull mix. Shes a super smart girl and picks up on anything we have the mind to teach her. She currently does sit, down, off, stay, roll over, speak, high five, and jump (we are working on beg); voice commands and hand signals. We were just wanting ideas from other people for more commands we can teach her and maybe any ideas for training tips for said idea. Like I said before shes super smart and very intent on making us happy.

I just built a new computer for myself. I'm running a nvidia nforce 610i motherboard, its got onboard graphics GeForce 7050. OS is Windows XP Home. Almost (not everytime) everytime I reboot my PC the screen resolution goes back to 800X600, I normally keep it on 1024X768. The computer has only been up and running for two days, but this has been happening since I installed everything. Let me know what other information you might need.
