If a giraffe died, how would you bury it? Because the hole would be huge?

I have 2 very young mini dachshunds. At first we wanted to breed them later on , but after talking to a few people including our vet, I'm not so sure anymore. People say that there can be a lot of complications and the female will also lose her disposition. I heard that miniature dachshund especially females develope problems with their spines especially with pregnancy. I am really considering getting them fixed now. What do you all think....any tips or pointers?

other old lady who had him all his life up and died last week at age 90, what would you name the little old guy? Since his hearing is lousy, I don't think a name change will confuse him much. Right now he goes by "Radar" due to the fact that he always finds his way around even outside to pottty. However, I am thinking of a more classical, perhaps Greek or Roman name. Wasn't there a blind philosopher? Anyhow, aside from the fact that this pitiful doggie geezer is blind and deaf, he's healthy as a poodle can be. And tor someone who in dog years is 98, that's pretty amazing. Names, please!

Okay, so many of you know about 5 months or so ago, we adopted a rescue pit (yes, it is a pure pit...) anyway, he was 11 months when we got him. He isn't the smartest dog or obedient. He is strong willed, as pits sometimes are... here is the problem. He has shown aggression towards small children, witnessed by my ex who has him. I saw a bit of if when we got him, but it seemed like a little bit of "excitement", not loading, now he is loading and the question is, do we place him out? with a no children/cat home, or do we put him down? talking to his "old" owner, he had done this and nearly nipped a kid, gee, they tell me this NOW....uh, hemm...anyway that is why they "really" gave him up, they lied, we have the problem and are willing to visit different solutions....FYI, I have been around working breeds, and pits for over 25 years... we have always culled any human agressive pit bulls, especially those towards kids...BUT, my ex feels this is inhumane and is trying to find another way

Why when I come here why do I feel like I am in coversation with a bunch of six year olds?? I am a responsible pet owner who would love ADULT questions not "what do I name my new puppy" or "should I breed my Chipoodlebugdalmationpit" again....there really needs to be some sort of child versus adult forums here....venting in 2008! Happy new year! I know this is not really a question but I am sure many of you have felt the same way. I know the kids need the animal questions but where are the adults??

I've got a 150 gallon tank and would like to plant a nice aquatic garden and then add fish. The more research I do, the more options I come up with, the more confusing it becomes. Everything from speciality products like eco-complete to play box sand, kitty litter, garden loam - help! Real life suggestions from real people would be greatly appreciated. (I really don't think I would ever try the kitty litter, but some people use it...)
Thanks.

can you please explain the reason? If you think it's cruel or wrong - that's fine - but I really want to hear from the people who support cropping and docking and the reason they think it's important or a good idea. Thanks.

I just got her 2 days ago and she is supposed to be 4 months old. She has a pretty big belly yet her backbone can be easily felt. Could she be pregnant???

... is it just for showing purposes? We met a miniature Yorkshire Terrier puppy today - and the adopting couple told us that the breeder had already docked the tail. Why? I don't get it. The dog is just going to live in their house - and be a dog. If a tail is set to grow a certain length - isn't it best to just leave it that way? Are dog shows kind of like beauty pageants for dogs? Shouldn't the breed be seen as it was meant to be? (like with a long tail and floppy ears - if that's what it naturally has). If not - then what's the reason behind the cropping and docking? I really want to understand this - so any insight you could provide would be great.

We have a 12 wk old dane girl she is fawn with a black mask just so sweet and goffy. I've read a lot about not feeding any type of puppy food. 24% or less of protien and 12% or less of fat. Is this so? I want the best for her and only adult foods what is good and where can you get it Petsmart...Wal-mart and so on. Our last dane we didn't know this and feed him puppy food until he was 1yr old the breeder said puppy LG breed. Now I'm reading different. Which that was 10yrs ago also. And what size crate / pet taxi should I buy now I don't want to have to buy a new one every month.LOL I know most people keep the danes outside but our girl is a house dog!!!! She has natural ears and just that dane look. We are teaching her how to sit now and I hope to start with her to heal next. We have 2 small children and we want her to know she can't jump on you. Any other dane info will help a lot thanks so much to you all and Happy New Year and God bless.

I had to board my cat at the vet for two weeks while I was away. She just got home today, and she's being very shy. She is generally a very laid-back, sweet, affectionate cat. She was super hyper when she first got home, running around the apartment. But she acts like she doesn't even know me. I know it will take time for her to get back into the swing of things, but do you think it's possible that she doesn't remember me? I've had her for about 4 months. I just ask because I don't have a lot of experience with cats, and we've never been apart like this.

In the past few days my boy friend and I have told a friend that we would watch their cat while there out of the country. And their cat is a female cat. And our cat is male who at the end of November got fixed, and he was 1 year a 1 month old at that time. now he is 1 year and 2 months old. My foster cat is about a year and she was fixed around 7 months. Now my question is, my cat wont stop like running after her in a playful way as if trying to get it on with her. Is it possible that since he got fixed at 1 year old that he still know the feeling if being horny? If so, is there anything I should worry about? Or should I just let it run it's course?

I was wondering if many people let their dogs sleep in their bed.

I myself let my Chihuahua sleep in my bed because she is small, clean (I bathe her regularly), and she doesn't disturb my sleep...plus, she is so darn cute!

1. Budgie Calcium - I know some ways are cuttlebone and boilled egg.
Do we give the parakeets the shell of the egg or the inside?
Oh and what part of the inside if we give the inside?

2. Two of my budgies are sneezing? Do they have a cold? Or is that normal?

3. I think one of my budgies have a sprained leg, i have put a cover over their cage with 2 cloths and made the cage warm. Do i have to make it any warmer? Oh and How warm should it be?

Thankyou, Angie.
