Pets - 5 September 2006

My indoor/outdoor black lab came in yesterday with her face just covered in tiny blue ticks. I spent about 2 hours picking them off of her, and still didn't get them all. I had my yard sprayed for ticks and fleas at the beginning of summer, but these are different and smaller than the brown and black ticks I've seen before. They seem to be really clustered around her eyes. I bathe my dog weekly. How can I safley and quickly rid her of these awful parasites? (She is allergic to flea & tick collars).

I have a 7 week old puggle (pug, beagle mix). She gives no warning before she goes to the bathroom. Is she too young to potty train? If not, how should I potty train?

I got some birds (parrots, finches, canaries) in cages in a gazebo that keep getting eaten by cats in the evening. Thjey sneak in over the fence and find ways to open up the cage or pull them out between the bars. They have killed several already. Is there a way to get rid of them? Any kind of poison that I can use or is there a safe method?

I just got a jack russell pup and she is abt 2mth old. very cute. I notice that when she is asleep, it will go into a deep sleep and start to do some actions with her mouth like she is having seizure (moving her mouth like she is chewing her tongue). I was so scare and I tried to wake her up and tried to carry her but she did not wake up until i shook her and called her name then she woke up. scared me!!! so is this normal? does pup dream?

I'm embarressed to take him for a walk. I tried to show it how to pee like a boy dog by getting on my hands and knees and demonstating but it tried to mount me, the homo. I hate taking him for walks. Should I tell my GF how embarressed I am? How can I teach him to pee like a boy?

I mean, sometimes ironically they can be good pets, and other than the fact that they give eggs while theyre still alive and they arent dangerous, why is it that its okay to kill them?

My little poodle blacks is just not getting the house breaking training. He can go two weeks, and then have an accident. I love blacks but he seems a little slow.

I have a well mannered American Staffordshire Terrier that I cannot keep due to losing my home. I don't want to give her up but I have no other options.

I recently purchased a Chinese Algae Eater, along with a Black Ghost Knife fish. They have only been in the take for about 3 weeks, but I have started to notice that the CAE will not leave my Ghost alone. I have had other small community fish in the take for months now, (don't know what they are) and I have already found two dead since introducing the CAE. He is very aggressive towards other fish in the tank. I'm not necessarly saying he is responsible, but I would not be supprised. I'm more concerned with the Ghost, I took me 2 months to find one, and I'm not ready to lose him yet. Is there anyway to get the CAE to leave the others alone, or should I just get rid on him? If the CAE goes, what would be a good replacement for him, if any?
