Ok. here's the deal. Me and my husband have a tiny maltese puppy, and i want to get him a 'sister' to play with and my husband is telling me no. Im at home more than my husband (who works long hours) and I'm the one who take our dog for walks, give baths, visit the vet, feed him.etc.etc. My husband wont let me get anther dog, and he cant give me a reason why. Is that wrong of him since im the one who will care for it?
So, please help me get my puppy.
What can I tell my husband to convince him??

I took a break from horses for about 3 years due to moving and schoolwork. I was an intermediate rider before the break so I will need refresher courses. I'm going to be actually buying my first horse. I would just ride the horses in the stable at the old farm before. I'm interested in a draft horse because the place I would board my horse is also looking for a horse to plow. They made a deal that I could have a lower rent if I plowed. That would be all nice and dandy, but I haven't really heard of them doing much more than driving. I will be riding this horse in my last two years of 4H so I would like to know if a draft horse would be able to perform my favorite Western events. Any good stories with your draft horse (especially Shires)?

I have a 3yr old lab named Asher. Everytime someone goes near the front door, he knocks you out of the way and runs outside.
He pees in our neighbors yard, chases people down the street, jumps in your car if the door is open, if not he jumps on your car. He knocks people over that come to our door.
I've been trying to get him to stop and he won't.
I've tried teaching him how to sit and stay.
I've tried teaaching him he is not allowed in the livingroom.
I've tried a firm voice, "bad dog"
I've tried rewarding him for good behavior at the door, I keep a can of treats at the door so if he does what he is supposed to, he gets a treat.
NOTHING WORKS!
Please help, he drives everyone, including the neighborhood nuts.

If I found any problem with any of my pets, I would take them to the vets ASAP, not ask people on yahoo answers. I keep seeing questions like, my dog has a lump, or my cat is being sick and not eating. Am I the mad one who would not waste any time and get them to a vet to get a professional opinion

My rottie is only a year old, and it seems quite sudden that this lump has appeared on his elbow. He isnt in any discomfort but although i will take him to the vets i would just like a little advice as i am worried. Its bigger than a golf ball, squidgy with hard bit in center. ive heard of lipomas but am not sure

Hit and run
How should the law treat people who run over a animal and dont even stop to check if the innocent animal needs help?
it happened today.. a dog was run over and a 5 yr old boy witnessed his little dog get runover and the murders kept on driving so i followed them and called police.... thank god there is a law for that type of crime where i live .....the good news they have been charged..........where you live what type of charge would be fitting for people like that?
I think 5yrs

My parents are letting me get a dog and I think Boston terriers are just so cute. If anyone has one...can you tell me if they're essentially all-around good house dogs?

I am starting a new 10 gallon aquarium (actually its in a computer monitor that I just transformed into an aquarium) and I've been reading about cycling and I have a question...If I put my filter in an established 20 gallon aquarium (for a few days maybe?) would it build up enough bacteria for me to put it into my aquarium and have no need for cycling? From what I've read it seems that if I did this and also added some of the water from the gravel of the established aquarium when I add my fish that everything would be fine. There would be bacteria in the filter and the established water's aquarium, and the fish I add would be creating ammonia. It seems to me that it would be a perfectly functioning aquarium. Has anyone tried this, or know whether this would work or not?

does anyone know if flea treatment u get from the vet can cause a cats hair to fall out and the skin to get red and bumpy. i have had two cats in the past and every time i got them flea treatment about a week after having them. then about a week later i notice hair falling out...then later i notice redness on the skin and bumps. is this from the treatment or some other condition.NOTE:i did not have the cats at the same time, it happened two seperate times.

What can I do for this hair loss? It started close to his tail up his back for 2 inches and down his back legs; around his neck and a bit on his tummy.

Will this hair grow back? I have been told that this happens sometimes in Poms. But we get really cold winters and I am concerned not that he goes out for more than 2 minutes at a time.
