Pets - 28 November 2006

Hi everyone, I am a 30 year old career woman living in Phoenix AZ. I am wanting a small lap dog and thought it was a good idea to get some advice. Obviously, by buying a puppy that this pet would be a part of my family for many years. So I want a dog that will be good with kids when that does happen. Also, since I am single I would like to have a dog that is small for easy transport. (cars, planes, and ect) I would like to be ablel to carry the dog in my arms as an adult. (to give you an idea on size) Something cute that I can spoil to death. I do have a 4 year old cat so please keep that in mind. Any suggestions??

My dog can get our front window open. Nothing short of screwing it shut works. (Old house, we rent) We lock the window, leave, and she unlocks it and opens it so the 2 of them can lay half on the window ledge half on the couch all day.

My dogs are fearless and this is only a 4 ft. drop to the grass. Mailman, UPS guy, garbage man, kids riding bikes, people walking dogs, so much temptation! (My retired neighbor across the street keeps an eye on them and has a key in case something happens).

This is the same window that the cats go in and out of all the time. So why is is that the dogs don't escape? One's a Lab/Pointer mix who can't resist squirrels and the other is a JRT mix who can't resist anything. Thye're young and healthy dogs, why do they not escape to chase critters and other dogs? They surely could. All the neighbors know them and think it's a hoot how they hang out the window.

I spoke against Puppy Mill owners last week at our State Capital. 27 Felony counts were issused and are being served!Our next stop is about 4 possible Puppy Mill owners in Missouri. The cities are, Springfield, and Poplar Bluff and Collins. We have enough information from past buyers, and people who didn't buy from these people to prove these claims along with overbreeding,questionable AKC parents,and dogs who can't be registered with AKC due to "Litter Flooding" from AKC Dogs long dead! The Breed we are speaking about are all Dobermans! If anyone has bought, or been in contact with ANY breeder in these cities, PLEASE contact me. Your comments, reply, & everything will be kept in confidence.Help us STOP the Puppy Mill Owners in Missouri, and in these cities! One breeder has 6 different breeds of dogs besides Dobermans in her puppy mill, with pups available ALL year long! Contact me at will!

I have one cat who loves olives and rye bread crusts...but he'll run for the hills if you have a pickle.

I have another cat who goes crazy for chick peas....and another who loves canned beets.

Funnily enough none of them seem to really care about meat or cheese.

My "pure bred big dumb dawg", of course likes anything but he absolutley loves salad fixins, especially radishes...it is all I can do to keep him off my feet when I am cutting up veggies for salad, just hoping I'll drop something.

We set up the 55 gal tank, got 2 starter fish (guppies, which had babies the next day lol) and things were fine. After about a month we decided to get more fish (Tetras mostly, for a total of 12 fish and 2 babies that survived.. added a few fish at a time over 3 weeks) Since we got all the fish (about 4 weeks now) There has been this orange "stuff" accumulating on all the plants and ornaments, and splotches showing up on the glass. I originally thought the flakes (tetramin) were staining everything, but thats never happened in aquariums i've owned in the past. I don't think I'm over feeding, the fish appear to be happy... Anyone have any clue whats going on, or what i can do to stop it? I can email a couple pictures if requested.

... I do clean the tank, doing a 10% water change and cleaning all the plants and whatnot every 2 weeks. All water tests come back fine.

They seem to be one of my Westie's favourite foods and it's the first time I've come across this in a long line of dogs. Are there any other wierd foods your dog likes?

My yorkie just suffered from a bad case of hypoglycemia that lead to him having a seizure. He was in the hospital 5 days. The vet said that he is healthy, but since he is so tiny, he cannot store any food therefore leading to a drop in his sugar level when not fed on a consistant basis. He said that I should feed my dog every 4hrs, including throughout the night, for about 3 weeks. I am wondering if this is ok, or if I should more often. Anyone have a puppy that experenced this??

I'm building a custom bearded dragon cage. It's gonna be two parts one for the male and one for the female. It's gonna be 48 L x 24 W x 20 H. Is that a good size? I mean it's gonna be stackable so I thought it be easier to watch them. Have a plexy glass opening with a lock just encase my nephew comes over and wants to play with them. Have a day and night switch. And make a rock wall to make it look like the desert for them. I just want to know if that is a good size. Becuase I have three dragons. 2 males and one female. I wanted to make a 4 section cage. Each cage 24 L x 24 W x 20 H for each cage. So what is better the individual cage or the long sex seperation cage?

I am doing everything by the book. My first 4 fish died within a week of getting them. I treated them as soon as they started showing signs of illness and the pet shop confirmed that my water was fine. I bought a new tank, set it up as it said on the box and got 4 replacement fish. I had to hospitalise Jeremy kyle in the old tank as he got whitespot within a week and I had to get the ammonia level down as it was dangerously high - I have tested the water regularyl and done water changes as per the user guides, i cut down the feeding to once a day. Another of my Bogle-Bogle-Bogle has just died suddenly after showing no symptoms. I treated both tanks with whitespot care when Jeremy Kyle first showed symtoms. The water is still fine and Jeremy Kyle appears to be on the mend too .. but what is it that I'm doing for my fish to keep getting ill / dying??

Why is PETA only interested in weird issues? They were last seen at a Nativity display where they thought there were live animals. Turns out the animals were statues. Why don't they protest vets who declaw cats or dog fights or something worthwhile. They could be a strong force for animal rights if they would stand up for some less exotic but equally important issues.

I just bought a 35 gallon fish tank and I am trying to get everything perfect before I put the fish in. It is a freshwater tropical tank. I read I should try and get it to 7.0, but the PH has continued to stay at 7.6 after numerous times of adding PH down (We've been doing that for 2 days.) What should I do to lower it???

*I plan to add mosty barbs and tetras.
