Everything with fur seems to be cute..whether it be kittens, puppies, or the furby. Would the once repulsive snake be loved if it too had fur to pet?

The sheet of acrylic I need is 6 feet by 2 feet. It is the bottom of the tank that cracked.How hard will this be to fix and is it possible to fix it? I don't know too much about fish tanks but it cracked because of too much pressure when we tested it with water. We build a better stand for it to take pressure off the glass. does anyone know about tanks? I want to try fixing this, but I don't want to spend the money and then find out it wont work. ANY ADVICE???

Behaviorists, medications, training etc. We adopted him 3 years
ago. Essentially, he bites under ciertain circumstances: If we try to
take away something he has that does not belong to him, he'll growl and bite. He will do this when he is resting and doesn't want to be bothered. We have learned to manage the situation in that we know the circumstances where he will bite and we avoid these situations.
We tried prosac which turned out to be a disaster, he became more aggressive, we've gone through the whole training/behavior modification stuff which has helped but there does not seem to be a way to keep him from biting permanently. The vet/behaviorists tell us it is genetic and we just have to manage the sitiuation. Is there anyone out there who has tried something different? He is a great dog 95% of the time but his aggression limits us from allowing him to interact freely with other people. My husband is apprehensive around him and all in all, the situation is not ideal. HELP!

Now and then I find little white slugs (or so they look) on his tail and his coat. They are maybe 1/4" long and they seem to pulsate (get longer then shorter). I've found the 2nd one today and the 1st one about 3 weeks ago.

My female lilac point Siamese is having ear trouble. She's constantly shaking and scratching her left ear. Does it just need cleaning? And how do I do that: rubbing alcohol and cotton swab?

The article attacked Cesar Millan's work with dogs with problems. Cesar has saved the lives of dogs by rehabilitating those dogs who "positive" method trainers have given up on -- and said should be killed (euthanized or "put down" is the "nice way to say killed). Seems to me that these critical trainers who could not train these "untrainable" dogs -- are envious of Cesar's natural ability to understand and successfully work with these dogs.

I recently moved and had my fish in a cooler. Unfortunately, they were in there about 30 hrs. I did check on them and putt stress coat in the water. When I pulled my largest goldfish out, his scales on the back half were very dry. Now they are white and peeling. He's moving around fine and eating, but it looks bad. Any ideas to help him recover faster?
