I have a wonderful new puggle puppy. I have noticed that although this little dog is very intelligent, I feel more "potty" trained than he is. In the past, potty training my dogs has gone very well and we hardly have had mistakes. My last two dogs were ringing a bell to go out within the first week of their training. Unfortunately, my sweet little puggle doesn't consider using the bell to go out into the cold and frosty air. He does go out side 90% of the time, but that is because we watch him like a hawk. My question is.... is there hope. It isn't that he isn't smart. At 15 weeks he can sit, down, stay, sit pretty, and even crawl. but...... will he learn to ask to go out to eliminate?

So, last night, my younger brother took some Children's Motrin for his headache. After he went to sleep, he didn't put the Motrin back and left it on a nightstand. Sometime after, my dog, Rory, took that bottle and drank the bottle.

I came home from school, and my mother told me that Rory has been throwing up.

I've been stressing ever since, and in one of her many vomits, there was blood. I started freaking out, and I broke down crying. I called my uncle, who is a vet told me that there was nothing I could do but support her. She's eating fine, and she's active. But she's just throwing up whatever she eats.

She's 10 -15 lbs. She probably drank about half the bottle. And I have no idea how old she is because I found her one day behind my recycling bin, lol. But Rory is very important to me, and I don't want her to die.

If you have some solutions, tips, anything...I'd appreciate it if you shared.

I don't know what I'd do without her.

I noticed my betta acting really strange - like swimming sideways and upside-down. Also he's had a bloated belly for about a month or more, but not in a way that matched descriptions of illnesses that I found on the internet, and he was otherwise normal, so I still have no idea what that was about. Then tonight I noticed the snail was dead. No idea how long it has been dead, because it's a snail... it's never been very active. So I'm wondering if the fact that it may have been dead for a while could have fouled the water enough to kill the betta? Or the other possibility is that they both had the same affliction, whatever it was - just took the betta a little longer to die.
Of course it doesn't matter now anyway... they're dead. I'm just curious, that's all.

The best we can figure this cat must have been indoors, she had been declawed and spayed. When she happened up to our yard her condition was awful and she was near death from starvation. We are trying to find her owners thinking they would be looking for her, but have no idea the timeline in days or weeks that she went missing. I would say that she would normally weigh about 13lbs, but now weighs only 4lbs and is approximately 5 years old. Can anyone give me an idea of about how long she may have been outdoors to get like this?

We took her to a vet, and all blood work has come back normal. We are happy there are no health issues, and she is eating well and seems to be putting on weight.

I need some ideas on home made dog food. I have a 2 month old blue pit bull, and I don't think dry dog food is enough. I'm currently feeding him with Royal Canin Baby Food (Large Breed); but i don't think that's enough. I want him to have a strong massive body, not just like the regular ones. Maybe there's something else I can feed him, home made food, vitamins....etc....Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Okay.. I have a pitbull, sweetest dog ever (to me but shes has moments with strangers) okay so.. I put my other dogs toy away cause he was scared of it, so it was behind the couch. The pitbull had no idea where it was. Okay two nights ago she starts crying and whining like never before, I thought maybe she had to go out but no she only does that at the door, then I tried to play with her, no still crying. She stands by the couch crying. I get the toy out, she STOPS and leaves the room with it. Okay weird I thought but WHATEVER ya kno? The next few days she will NOT GO ANYWHERE WITH OUT IT! ANYWHERE! She doesnt want to play she just wants to lay with the toy. She wont chew on it (shes a pittbull, she usually devours her toys), its weird but its like she 'handles it with care' I take it away from her, she shakes and cries and wont stop till she gets it back? Is there ANY explamation for this? I think the toys possessed and want to get rid of it but she WONT allow it! Whats your opinion?!

My indoor cats have not so much as maimed any of them after many interactions. What could possibly make a better toy than a living organism that the cat can't kill?

What product that you wish were available that would make having a dog in your life easier. I thought up of one, such as a robot type dog that could be used as a companion for my dog whenever I am not home, any other ideas of products you wish were created?

My turtle lives in a 26 gallon tank and I do not fill the water up to the top. It has a palm tree & a rock platform to climb up on and loves its living arrangements! Pebbles is one happy turtle. But I need a filter that will work in this 26 gallon tank even if the water isn't that terribly high, the tank is high (he was known to climb out of his old 10 gallon tank). The filter I have now is called 520 something. It doesn't work and the employees at petsmart suggested it too. I used TopFin filters in the 10 gallon tank, and it worked slightly better but I don't think it would work since I don't fill up his tank. Any suggestions? Thank you! :)

My German Sheperd dog is very territorial and barks at everything and anything that walks past our fence. He also goes crazy and wants to attack every dog he comes accross with, specially small dogs. I run with him everyday for 45 mins to 1 hr to help him get rid of some of that energy, but still he is very active and will bark all day if I'd let him. I need him to calm down and not freak out every time he sees other dogs because when we go on a run I also take my baby in the stroller. He is very strong and sometimes I can't hold him down when I have one hand on the stroller already. He is getting neutered next week and I'm hoping that this will help him be less agressive. Will this work? or Will it make no difference since he is 18 months already? Please help!

We have had our leopard gecko for 3 years. Tonight our 7 yr old daughter picked him up and his tail broke off. Is it painful? Do we need to give him special care? How long until we see regrowth in his tail.

He is my boy. Will be 11 years old in February and is a german shepard/labrador mix. He is slowing down. After all he is an old dog for his size. A friend said he might be turning the dish over because his cataracts are so bad. This didnt make a lot of sense to me.
