In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It’s a good sign if your ex seems willing to talk with you on the phone. At some point during the conversation, ask them if they’d like to meet and do something brief and light. For example, you could bring up attending an art gallery, visiting a farmer’s market, etc.  Say something like: “I heard that there’s a new photography exhibit at the art museum. I’d like to go and it should only take about an hour. Would you be interested in joining me?” If your ex agrees and the hangout goes well, ask them if they’d like to do another similarly fun, light activity. This will also work as an effective way to gauge their interesting in rebuilding the relationship. Your ex will doubtlessly be curious about why you’re reconnecting with them. Be honest. This is also the time to be a little romantic even, although your ex may not be interested until they see that you’re sincere in wanting to reconnect. Say something like:   “While we’ve been apart for the past couple of months, I’ve realized how much I miss you.” “I’ve processed things emotionally after we broke up, and I figured out that I’m not happy when you’re not a part of my life.” This is a delicate subject to bring up, and you shouldn’t do it on the first date. Wait until your ex has agreed to see you a second or third time, and then talk about your feelings. It’s best to be open and honest: state that you still have feelings for your ex, and that you’d like to consider getting back together.  Reconnecting and getting back together with an ex can be a time-consuming process. Don’t expect your ex to immediately agree to jump back into a relationship. Depending on how your ex feels, they may still harbor anger towards you, or may have moved on altogether. Once you’ve explained your romantic feelings to your ex, your ex may make it clear to you that they are not interested in getting back together and do not have any lingering romantic feelings. In this scenario, honor their wishes and abandon your plan to reconnect.  It may be appropriate to make a final appeal. Say something like, “I’m not asking for us to get back together right away. I just want one more chance to show how much I care for you.” If your ex still declines, move on and give them the space they want.
Summary: Ask your ex to meet. Tell your ex that you miss them. Explain that you still have feelings for your ex. Respect your ex’s feelings.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Let your vet know that your dog has started giving birth. This will put them on alert. If there is an emergency, they will be able to help you as quickly as possible. Your dog and puppies should be examined by a vet within 24 hours of birth, even if they appear healthy. The dog will typically release the placenta fifteen minutes after a puppy is born. Occasionally, two puppies will be born followed by two placentas. There should always be one placenta per puppy. If there is not, call your vet. Your vet may give the dog a shot of oxytocin to help it expel the placentas naturally. While a little bit of panting is normal immediately after birth, your dog should not be trembling or shaking. If this behavior continues several hours after birth, it could be a sign of complications, such as milk fever. If the dog has been straining or contracting for 30 minutes without giving birth, a puppy may be stuck. Your dog may need an emergency C-section.
Summary: Notify your vet at the beginning of whelping. Make sure that there is one placenta for every puppy. Take your dog to the vet if it is trembling or shivering. Get help if the dog has been having contractions for over 30 minutes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The first big step to getting your dream job is identifying what roles, positions, or skills make you feel happy and fulfilled. Your dream job should be a position that you truly love to do, day in and day out, despite any challenges or obstacles that you may come across. Think back to any times when you were happiest and the most fulfilled.  This could be something you enjoyed doing as a child, such as drawing or writing, which could then lead to a dream job in the arts like graphic design or creative writing. Maybe you loved building structures with legos as a kid, which could lead to a dream career as an architect or a builder. You should also consider activities you do now on your off time that you enjoy, such as a recreational sport or a hobby. If you love playing hockey for example, you may consider getting into the retail sport business or starting your own hockey club. You may be doing certain skills or roles in your current job that you enjoy and may want to leverage as ways to transition into a dream job. If you like the people management side of your current role, for example, you may want to consider a career in human relations or a more people focused role. When you think about your dream role, you should think about your personal values and ideals. Your personal values are the core beliefs or ideas that are the most important to you. Identifying your personal values can allow you to really focus on what you are passionate about in your career. Consider some guiding questions to help you identify your personal values:  Identify at least two individuals you respect or admire. Think about why you admire them. What characteristics do they possess that you admire or appreciate? Think about what you would change or shift in your community. This could be a small issue or a larger issue. Consider what issues or problems get you the most riled up when you talk to others. Try to identify any themes or common ideas in your answers to these guiding questions. These could then be your personal values, which can help you identify your priorities in life. You can use these priorities to get a better sense of what your dream job might entail. . Personal goals can motivate you to pursue a certain career option or an educational option which could then become your dream job. Writing down your personal goals forces you to be self reflective and consider what activities or moments are meaningful to you. You can then use these goals to focus on what you are passionate about and how you can achieve your passions, or your dream role. Create a schedule for your personal goals so you are motivated to achieve them. Depending on how complex or simple the goals are, you may have different timeframes for each personal goal. This exercise can help you to visualize a best possible future self and home in on your dream job or role. Even if you do not have a clear picture of your best possible self, it will help you get better insight into your goals, motivations and passions for the future. It will also require you to be self-reflective and use critical thinking to determine where you see yourself in several years.  Use a prompt to do this exercise: “Think about your life in the future. Everything in your life has gone as well as it possibly could. You have achieved your life goals and realized your dreams. Write down what you see.” Write to this prompt three days in a row for 20 minutes a day. On the fourth day, read over your responses. Underline or circle any themes, goals, or ideas that appear multiple times in all three writing responses. These repeating ideas could be useful guides for where your passions might lie and how you can achieve them. A big element of achieving your dream job is having the necessary skills to acquire the job. Depending on the skills required for the job, you may be able to learn these skills or work toward learning these skills while you are doing the job. You should consider what skills you already possess as you pursue your dream job, as this can give you the confidence boost you may need to really go for the job. For example, if you already have a background in human resources and have several years experience working closely with others in teams, you may be able to translate these skills into practical skills for a dream job working as an HR representative. If you have extensive knowledge of hockey and strong connections to individuals in the sports community in your area, you may be able to lean on these skills to start your own hockey club.
Summary:
Think about what makes you feel happy and fulfilled. Identify your personal values and ideals. Write down your personal goals Do a best possible self exercise. Determine your skill set.
