I have goldfish and I need to use bottled water to fill the tank because I have unacceptable well water. My dad tried to chemically treat it, but we don't use it to brush our teeth or cook! We just use bottled water at my house for everything.

Both of my 7 and 8 year old cats have excessive hair loss. Everytime I pet them I get a lot of fur. I brush both cats every day, but the excessive shedding never seems to end. Wherever they lay I find a big clump of hair afterward. They both eat Purina dry cat food- Complete Formula (sometimes soft food as a treat). I live in chicago where it has been around 85 degreese all summer (near 100 almost all of this week). What type of brush do you reccomend?, and what can I do to stop all of the shedding?

I am going to be setting up my first aquarium tomorrow. A brand new 10gal tank with one goldfish. My only problem now is that I have been keeping goldie in a bowl and been using spring water in the bowl. This isn't such a big deal because I buy the water anyways for my betta bowl also, but these are both small bowls. Now I am getting a 10 gal tank, but I don't have town tap water, I actually have well water which my dad tries to maintain with chemicals. I don't want to spend over $10 getting a bunch of bottled water, but I'm afraid my well water will not be acceptable for the tank. What to do? I don't think water conditioner will be able to correct the well water either. At our house we don't even use the tap water to brush our teeth or in cooking, we used bottled! Does this mean I have to go out and buy a bunch of water? What do i do?

She is my daughter's dog and vet checked. She seems reasonably happy,considering, but we're worried about pressure points, skin condition, etc. She seems to like a bath once she's in it....to ease her pain? Vet says she has no pain. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

A German Sheperd, a Toy Poodle, and a Doberman were awaiting their fates at the Veterinarian's office. The Poodle asks the Sheperd."So, what are you in here for?"
"Well, I'm a digger. I feel compelled to dig all the time. My owner tried to sedate me, tie me up, lock me up in a room. Nothing helps. The last straw was I dug up the leather couch, so I'm here for the lethal injection. What are you in here for?"
The Poodle says,"I'm a barker myself. I will bark at anything, at all hours of the day and night. I can't help it. They tried to sedate me too, it didn't help much, so I'm here for the lethal injection too."
Then the Doberman says,
"Oh, well...I'm a humper. I just can't help it. Everything looks so good to me I just jump on and hump my brains out. The last straw was when my owner was getting out of the shower this morning. She bent over to dry her feet and I hopped up onto her back."
The other two look at him and say "Lethal injection, Huh?"
"Naw," he says, "Just a nail trim."

My aunt and her family have an Australian Shepherd puppy. She wants to have a litter for her children to "experience birth." I am SO against this. I have informed her that she will be teaching her children irresponisilbility, and for every puppy she is breeding there is a dog that dies in a shelter that could have gone to that home. SHe has absolutely No experience with dogs beyond a family dog and in the past she brought this up to me and I had convinced her not to.
Today she brought up the fact that she is adament and going to go through with it.
Money is not an issue for her, she wants to hire a vet to come to her house and help her deliver the puppies.
There was a video that I recieved by email that had innocents dogs and puppies dying in shelters because they have no homes, my aunt thinks that they only put sick animals down in shelters, does anyone know where to find this video, have any great points for my argument? lets hear from some breeders........

My little girl kitty is so spoiled and fat, probably around 25-30 pounds. She loves ice cream, tuna, cheese, and butter and I admit I give her these as little treats every now and then. I know she needs to go on a diet and I need more self-restraint when feeding her. But when I withold her treats, she refuses to eat her kibble. It's like she's pouting. How do I slim my fat girl down?

Since last Sunday, I've got 13 fish from Wal-Mart & they've all died except 2. I've had 2 double-tailed goldfish {one for me & one for my brother, both in separate tanks}, Mollies & 1 Angelfish that is still alive, along with one mollie :]
I'd LOVE to breed some fish & have some little fishes in the tank, but they just seem to die =/

Any ideas or suggestions please? I'd just like to have some fish that'll stay alive.

I played with my dog today, and he's always so hyper (he's a beagle), and as he swept his rear on my knee by accident, I felt something moving on my knee. So when I checked, there was a white, short, and sticky worm on it. It was still moving, could it possibly be a tapeworm? it was very sticky... and how quickly is it transmitted to people? Please help!
