Pets - 18 August 2006

I like owning new or exotic pets every once in a while. This time, I'm thinking of owning a baby 3 inch water turtle. Two pet turtles actually. Of course, i would feel uncomfortable if I bought a turtle without researching them. So I stayed night and day researching turtles. The most bothersome topic that drills in my head is a baby turtle's diet. My only question is, what in the world should I feed my new baby turtle? I certainly would never want to see an unhealthy turtle suffer because of my actions. I won't beg, but...help me!

She will let you pet her but then outta no where she walks just a few inches out of reach then turns her back to you.
I let a stray in my house to eat his name is Mr.Miaggi and he is so friendly it is unreal. He purrs, drools, rubs against you, throws himself down on your feet, ect.
Are girl kitty's more aloof than boy kitty's?
And why doesn't Lucky play with Miaggi?
She just looks at him and does nothing else.

my large dog got on a freshly sealed street and is covered in tar. I tried Goo B Gone and Dawn dish soap.

Knowing my luck, noone out there is going to know the answer to this question BUT I figured I'd ask anyway.

I have had 4 different sets of Cockatiels set up with Nestboxes to breed for quite some time now BUT none of them have done anything. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may be happening or what I may be doing wrong?

Please advise!

about 4 months ago i transfered my goldfish from his tiny bowl into a filtered gucci tank. weeks later i introduced some mountain minnows (4) a small loach and another goldfish. they all get along fine and with the extra room in the tank the goldfish has nearly doubled in size and looks active and healthy.
its only over the past 2 months that the transformation has taken place, and slowly its changed from gold to white.
there is still flex of gold in its fins but thats it.
i dont really mind as i think its getting quite old now and maybe its going gray or something, i am just intrested to know if anyone else has an explination.
thanks.

Does anyone have that poem that deals with having to have your pet put to sleep? A friend of mine found out today that her cat has to be put down because he has an enlarged heart and will die a horrible death if she doesn't put him down.

Can anybody tell me Pluto the dog's name in the debut film? According to others, it's NOT the answer easily found through online research! Help. It's a trivia contest that I need to find the answer to by 4:20 PM Eastern time.

There are 2 dogs that keep coming to our garden and messing everything. They have done this at least 5 times. We have warned the owners but they didnt do anything. We have gates that should prevent them from coming but still they manage to get in. We tried to block the paths so many ways, e.g. putting extra woods against the door, but they still managed to get in.

What can we do to stop them getting in our garden?
Is putting barbed wire or nails on the gates a good idea?

We are only allowed dogs from size small-medium that don't bark excessively. What type of dog do you think would be best?

If the pet owner didn't have the funds to pay the full bill, which should be about $1000. The dog needs to have new ear canals made and it's an expensive operation. There are sites to help people but haven't found one for pets. Thank you.

She tries to jump out of my arms within 30 seconds of being held. Otherwise she is a very attention-seeking cat who loves to be petted, purrs constantly, and sleeps on our bed all night.

I would think that when a cat walks by a mirror, it would look at itself out of curiosity, but it doesn't. Isn't it curious about the other cat? Of if it knows the other cat is himself, isn't he interested in knowing what his own image looks like... even for just a second? Instead cats seem to avoid looking in the mirror.

Aren't I nice (details)......?
Every Saturday I invite the neighbors and there kids over for dinner. I usually make hot dogs. They say I make the best hot dogs in town! The way I give the the extra kick of flavor is to defrost them in my dog's butt (Get it, a hot dog?). All you have to do is slide them in and out, in and out. I am saving electricity also by not defrosting the them in the microwave (Go Earth Savers). Ms. Ann wanted to know how I give my hot dogs an exta kick.


Questions:
Should I tell Ms. Ann the secret of the great tasting hot dogs?
Aren't I such a kind and thoughtful neighbor?

I've been cracking up all day. I got my dog a pig's ear (I know it's gross) and she will bury it, leave it for about 10 minutes, then get it and bury it again somewhere else. She's done it about 15 times now. If she knows that I know where it is, she dig it up and bury it somewhere else! She uses her nose to bury it. It's too funny! I love my dog!
