Q: Before you strike up a conversation you’re your spouse about having kids, take some time to examine your own reasons for wanting to have kids. Write them out in as much detail as possible to help you prepare for a conversation with your spouse. Consider whether your motivation is internal or external. Do you want to have kids because you think your friends and family expect you to do so? Or do you have an internal desire to have kids? How can you tell that your desire is rooted in yourself? Don’t approach your spouse at the end of a stressful day or when he or she is distracted. Instead, plan your conversation for a time when you and your spouse are relaxed and can devote your full attention to the matter. For example, you might plan to talk on Saturday morning after you have had breakfast. Make sure that you sit down face to face and put away all distractions (cell phones, laptops, etc.) when you have your conversation. Be honest and tell your partner why you want to have kids. Use the notes that you made to help you explain point-by-point why having children is important to you and why you want to do it now. State your case in a calm, clear voice and be as detailed as possible about your reasons. If your partner is not ready to have children, then it is important for you to hear about the concerns that he or she has about the process. Ask your partner to share his or her concerns with you and to be as honest as possible. Even if your partner is 100% against having children, it is important for you to listen to your partner with an open mind and to show that you respect his or her desires. Make sure that you maintain eye contact, nod to show that you are listening, and ask questions if your partner says anything that you do not understand. If your partner is in favor of having kids, then you will need to talk about your readiness and determine if there is anything that you need to do before you get started.
A: Think about your own reasons for wanting to have kids. Find a good time to talk. Say how you feel. Ask your partner what concerns he or she has. Listen with an open mind.

Q: The alkaline substance will help to neutralize acidic smells from fish, sticky spills and some leftovers. The box of baking soda should be replaced every 30 days, because the top of the baking soda can crust over as it absorbs moisture, limiting its absorption process. Alternatively, you can use a commercial freshening product. It is likely to be emanating from things that have been in there over a week. Clean out your refrigerator every week to avoid "mystery smells". Flush the food down with water for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, to make sure it travels all the way down your pipes. Pulse your disposal with ice cubes and lemon wedges every week to get rid of stuck food, and then rinse thoroughly.
A: Place an opened box of baking soda in your refrigerator to remove smells from your refrigerator at a constant interval. Clean out your refrigerator if you cannot find where a smell is coming from. Clean out your food disposal every week.

Q: Epilepsy often occurs at a young age, typically beginning around 6 months to 5 years of age. Seizures or fits then occur for the rest of the dog's life. Dogs can have different types of seizures associated with their epilepsy. These include:  Focal seizures: These are associated with bizarre behavior, such as repeatedly and compulsively rubbing of one part of the body or 'fly-catching' behavior, where the dog snaps at invisible objects in the air. This type of seizure is also known as a complex partial seizure or psychomotor seizure. Generalized seizures: This type of seizure affects the whole body. The dog is unconscious and unaware of what's happening to it or around it. The dog is unable to stand and usually collapses to one side. The body goes rigid, the limbs often move in a paddling motion, and the mouth may close tightly. Typically this lasts for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, after which time the dog recovers and regains consciousness. Status epilepticus: This is where the dog enters a seizure but does not wake up. The seizure continues indefinitely or consists of several seizures but the dog does not regain consciousness between them. It is essential to seek veterinary attention if your dog is having this type of seizure, as brain damage can occur during status epilepticus. Dogs with epilepsy are prone to groups of seizures spaced apart. Seizures often occur in cluster or groups, within a 24 hour period. How frequent these groups are depends on the individual. For example, a dog with mild epilepsy may have one seizure every six months, while a severely affected individual may have groups of seizures every couple of weeks.  After the first seizure, contact your vet. They can medicate your pet to make another seizure the same day less likely. If you can, record a video of one of the seizures on your cellphone so that you can show it to your vet at a later date. This may be useful for your vet and can help them make a diagnosis. Abnormal electrical behavior in the brain can cause your beagle to behave strangely before, during, and after a seizure. This is yet another sign that your dog may have had a seizure. This behavior can include being aggressive and attempting to bite, in a dog that is otherwise sweet-tempered.   Be aware of this and be extremely careful about allowing children close to the dog, as a child may accidentally get bitten. Also record videos of this behavior to show to your vet. As an owner, your first step is to recognize your dog is having seizures and take the dog to the vet. However, it is important to keep a diary of how many and how often your dog's seizures are. This helps the vet determine the seriousness of the condition and the amount of medication that might be needed. The terms "seizure" and "fits" are often used interchangeably with "epilepsy," but there is an important difference between them. Epilepsy is a medical condition, whereas a seizure is a symptom.  This is equivalent to pneumonia being a medical condition, but a cough being the symptom. Seizures can be triggered by a variety of different things, such as ingesting a toxins, kidney disease, a porto-systemic shunt, brain cancer, meningitis, or other such medical or physical conditions.
A: Be on the look out for seizures. Be aware that there may be additional seizures. Pay attention to strange behavior after a suspected seizure. Make a record of your dog's seizures. Determine the difference between epilepsy and seizures.
