I have always seen Golden Retrievers with black noses she is the first I have seen with pink on her nose, I and curious if this do to poor breeding or maybe its a birthmark? I am thinking of keeping this puppy for breeding and I don't want her puppies to come out with pink noses, is this genetic?

I have a Ball Python... he is about 1 and a half, maybe 2 feet long. I was using a forest blend repti-bark, when I noticed only 3 mites crawling on my boy, I broke them in-half with my fingernail (like you do for fleas on dogs and cats) I used repti-relief.... and they just clustered onto his head (like 4 maybe 5 of them). So I washed EVERYTHING in his enclosure with hot water, and dried it off, I took all of the repti-bark out, and washed the tank with repti-reliefs, then washed it with hot hot hot water, and dried it out. Instead of putting repti-bark in as a substrate I now have Paper Towel, and I rinsed my boy off with luke warm water and dried him off by letting him slither through a sweater of mine, and re-applied the repti-relief to him (it says on the bottle to be used on reptile, just not in their eyes, so I've only ever applied it to his body, never his head)...... I dont see any mites..... did I defeat them? are they gone?

I am new dog owner of a short haired black lab who I have had for a little over a year. I just returned home from Thanksgiving and i could finally smell how much my house, especially the first floor where my dog lives, smells of dog. He has shiny healthy short haired black coat and barely sheds, but I cannot seem to escape the dog smell that i really did not smell or realize before! I can only wonder what other people think when they come over to my house. Granted, it is not nearly as bad as other people's dogs i know, but I much more aware of it now. Please help.

People keep getting MUTT/MONGRELS & then flailing around desperately trying to attach some sort of "breed" to it. Which,of course,is impossible.

If they wanted a particular -REAL-breed,why didn't they get one?
If they DIDN'T,why do they seem to CARE???
Like a large portion of posts here,is this just to get some sort of "aw..CUTE!" reaction from total strangers??

i have a 14 year old lab mix dog. she's been with me the day i was born. she's always been an amazingly good dog, never bit anyone, was usually very well behaved, never had any accidents. she was an awesome dog to grow up with. now in her old age, she's gotten cancer in her eye and they had to remove it. ever since, she has been a complete ANNOYANCE. she breathes heavy, she barks at us, she runs around the house, she jumps on the table, she never seems to leave us alone anymore. we try to help her, let her out, get her attention, feed her, all that stuff. she's almost deaf and getting blind i think too. she'll go into empty rooms and bark at nothing.
she is making my familie's lives so stressed. we;re all fighting with each other because of her. i don't know if i have the heart to put her down. should i? and if i should.. when? before christmas? after? ADVICE PLEASE?

My friend has 3 white bellied caiques. Two males and one female. The problem is that one of the males recently became very agressive towards my friend - to a point that my friend can't open the cage anymore. I have to remove the agressive bird first. The bird lived with my friend for 3 years and the problem only began recently (3-4- months). It seems all the bird wants to do is to bite my friend. Even when the bird is in the cage, it demonstrates agression the moment my friend comes into the room. I would hate him to give up the bird, but we can't seem to find a solution. We know the behavior is not related to nesting, or hormones. Anybody out there seen something like that? Any suggestions?

I have a male Sugar Glider and, well, he stinks. I was wondering if I could put one of those new Arm and Hammer air filters in his cage. If that would harm him what could I do about the smell? (I don't want to have him neutered because we want to get a female and breed them)

I am at work and it is cold and rainy outside and I just wish that I was at home with my cats, especially my 4 month old "Maggie." I am just wondering what they are getting into, and if they are comfortable at home, if they are hungry yet, etc., etc. Am I normal? I must need a life, or a man. . . .lol

... has been brought up in a home where he was allowed to do his business in a room? He's a one and a half year old Papillon, pretty smart, but after numerous attempts at housbreaking he's not getting it. I've praised the rare times he waited until he was outside, tried crating, made sure times were consistent when taking him out, I'm just at wits end. Please help me save on floor care products!!!!!!! =)

A stupid bird fell from the sky the other day into my back porch. It will not leave because it must have broken its wing or something. What do I do? It’s been there for 2 freak’n days already! I fed it some French fries last night as I was eating my hamburger looking at it woundering when is it going to leave so I can use my Jacuzzi? Should I practice Euthanasia by killing it, do it a favor by putting it out of its misery or should I embrace the animal, give it a name, charge it rent, and take it in as one of my own until it heals its wounds so that it may fly again. I don’t know? I hear Bird Flu medication is expensive and contagious… Maybe I should find a cat and let nature take its course… I am confused what should I do..?

I have a two yr old Golden Retriver, he's usually very sweet. I used play with him outside, by running in circles around my pool in the backyard. I make sure he ran beside me so he dosen't think I'm running away from him. I've stopped doing this because when we were running he would jump up and bite my jacket, like the police dogs do when they try to catch the criminal. He didn't do it really rough, but it was annoying. Does anyone else's dog do this? If so, do you know why?

I just want your opinions based on looks... not temperment (sp?) or anything else.

The cutest dogs in my opinion are Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Neopolitan Mastiffs, and Great Danes

The ugliest dogs in my opinion (sorry if you own one, nothing personal) are:Bichon Frise, Maltese, Yorkie, Poodle, Shih Tzu.

My sister thinks her dog of 12 yrs need to get a chest xray taken for his lungs and heart. I am just wondering how much does xray of 3 views usually cost for a 35 lb (medium sized) dog? I live in Philly and the vet that I go to quoted me $150 for xray (not sure how many views). I called this nonprofit pet clinic in NYC (where my sister lives) and thier xray cost $120. Now, I would think Philly would be cheaper, but NO!! (this is w/out sedating the dog) Thanks for your help!!
