Pets - 24 November 2006

I feel so bad for lesson ponies who are just thrown out into their little muddy paddocks with mud up to their knees,no blankets in the winter & no decent shelter.When it's dinner time, their hay and grain is just thrown out to them, & the people who feed them are usually paid for it and dont know the first thing about colic or colic symptoms, so the horse is practiacally floundering on the ground before anyone notices somethings wrong.Also, they're just put in a pasture together without even thinking about if the horses are going to get along.But then you go to the same barn and see the big fancy $50,000 horses who get quadrouple blanketed, the best feed and care, & big cushy stalls with plenty of shavings.Now you can post your opinion about this as you please, but i will say right here and now,THOSE LESSON PONIES WORK THEIR BUTTS OFF & ARE WORTH MUCH MORE THAN THOSE FANCY SHOW HORSES! Something has to be done, any suggetions? Please keep in mind, not all lesson barns are like this.

I read in a magazine that it was 13, but my friend told me it was 9. My cat is 9, but very active for his age, and he hasn't died yet. How long do most cats live?

I feel like I'm a bad owner due to the darn dogs getting all my attention ans she and I miss our time together and we I go in my room she is purring and happy and stuff and I just want to cry and say "fumiko I'm staying here all day tomorrow". I can't because I need the money for the holidays. I'm crying as I type this cause I know she is lonely.

I have a redbone and when ever she pees she always rolls in it. Is that something coonhounds do or is my dog just weird? This is the first time I've had a redbone so, I don't know much about her.

Or is it just a myth? Has anyone seen this in real life or through the eyes of David Attenborough (whose opinion I trust and respect on such issues)

A few days ago someone asked a question about true American breeds or something to that effect. Someone replied back with a website to this breed of dog. The Native American Indian Dog or NAID.

I'm curious to see if anyone here possibly has one? There aren't many breeders, I think maybe 4 total in the country. It looks as though they have roughly the same needs as a Husky or Malamute of which I own both breeds.

I'm not looking to get one at this time, but my husky is getting up in years and may look to get a NAID when he dies. So what I am looking for is actual testimoney from owners about the breed. Not just what the breeders say.

I look forward to your answers!

We recently inherited some goldfish from my grandfather and one of them, white with orange fins, is FAT. We thought it was going to have babies, but my mom informed us that it had been in that condition for quite a long time. We then realized that we've never seen this fish poo. He seems to be on the brink of death now, my mom is trying to save it (they are my little brother's fish now so we want to try and save them for him), she is trying to feed it mashed up peas and vegetable oil with a dropper. What is wrong with this fish and is there a way to save him at this point?

I am doing a science experiment that has to do with the light color preferences of cricket. Please dont give me crap this will not hurt the crickets all that will happen is they will have a choice of which enviornment they will go into and each enviornment will have a different color. So the question is would it be really loud to keep them in my room(which is the most convinient) or will I not be able to sleep at night. There will be about 50-100 crickets

I saw a commercial for this Australian dog training company. They say they can train your dog in two hours and give a written garantee. But, I'm still skeptical. My sister has a little yorkie, and he's about five months. He's starting to try to assert himself as leader, and she needs to train him.

So, my question is has anyone used the service, and if so, was it effective? How much did it cost? Was the trainer abusive? Basically, I need a review.

Thanks!

I have a small domestic pet rabbit. He used to live in the dining room where it is pretty warm, but for thanksgiving my dad made me put him in the basement, and won't let me bring him back up. What is an okay temp. for my rabbit to live in. It's not even winter yet and my basement is already only 59 degrees. Plus this isn't too much of a problem in my basement, it's not that bad but it is slighly musty, and this worries me. can any one tell me what i should do, or what i should say to my dad to convince him to let me bring my rabbit back upstaris with the family?

My friend wants to get a husky, a pup, and although I am happy that she wants to do this, I am afraid she is not able to properly care for a husky, since she likes to sit around a lot.I think a small house dog would suit her better but its not really my call...I would like some insight into huskys and the dos and dont's of raising them from someone who knows what they are talking about....thank you for serious answers...
