Pets - 9 September 2006

I've got 2 terrapins, each around 5 years old. Indeed they're the most boring pets anyone can have 'coz you can't stroke them and let them roam about the house like you can do for a cat.

These 2 terrapins have been living with each other for the longest time. One of them's twice the size of another, and I heard that it's because the guy's being a ganster and "head of the household", always getting his share of food first.

Lately, they've grown too big for the basin I've kept them in. My mom takes care of them, and changes the basin of water everyday for them.

I was thinking of getting them a bigger basin, but my mom will have difficulty changing the water everyday. Do you guys think I should get a pump to pump out the water daily for these little boring creatures of mine?

I can't keep them in the tank, as they wouldn't be used to the high level of water.

He has this woolen blanket with which he never plays but can’t go to bed without it. I know it’s great for a dog to have something of that sort to “call his own” so that he’ll always know that “home is where blanket is”. The thing that I am puzzled about is this: When he wants to sleep he takes the blanket and starts sucking it, he even presses it gently with his front paw like, I guess he would do to his mother to get the milk going. This goes on for 15-30 min and than he falls asleep, sometimes with blanket still in his mouth. We got him when he was about a month, he got the blanket when he was 3-4 months, started doing ‘he thing’ as soon as he got it. He is now 1y3moths and is STILL doing it! This sort of relationship he has only with a blanket, although he also has a pillow and a mattress for sleeping. So, not that I mind, but it’s weird, so is it normal? Should I worry?

Do you have this problem..? my stupid neighbour keeps on feeding my dog...and didnt stop even when we told him to...just 5 minutes ago i caught him again, and he just flat-out f'king lied to my face saying "oh...no i didn't do that" f'ing asshole he is....we've told him a million time but still he wants to go against us...arhghghghghhghg...so freaking angry now!!!

The butthole in question, is a 40 year old, ex-body-builder, he has won many body-building competitions...but was disqualified and stripped off his title because of what an a*s he is...and that he took drugs to get to where he is...and the drugs he took, makes him very short tempered...no kidding, he even beats up his own mother...all the time!!!

diplomacy obviously wont work on a plank of wood-brained, steroid-filled, dick-headed, a*s-clown, so what can i do? besides building impervious 8-foot walls which wouuld cost a lot of money i dont have.

please help...!

Last nite, I was driving home with my husband in the car, when I hit a dog. We stopped to see what I hit, and the dog was still moving. Unfortunately, the dog was ran over two more times, before we could drive backward, put our flashers on and get out and caution people till the police came. Finally, my husband just pulled the dog off the road. There was so much commotion and three cars stopped to help, I was sobbing so darn loud, they were concerned for me. I could not help it. I love animals, I have two dogs of my own, and here I killed one. I don't know if I can ever forgive myself. I didn't even have time to swerve. The owner came down after seeing all the lights flashing and cars on the side of the road, and he said it was his dog. I took a hold of him and just held on and sobbed. I felt so terrible. He told me he should have been in his kennel, it was not my fault. The thoughts just keep going over in my head at what I did. Please no bad answers, I couldn't take it.

I have a catfish that has outgrown my tank. It is about 6 - 8 inches and I'd like to know if any retail stores (petland, petco, petsmart etc) actually would accept my fish in exchange for others. Otherwise I'll have to find someone that will take it. Any suggestions or help?

I breed my chocolate lab with another male chocolate Lab, three whole times the got stuck together, and two months later she had two pups and the other one died shortly after it's birth
Why? I don't know weather or not if it was too late in her heat, or she is too little too have puppies. She is a year and 5 months old.
