Put a humourous question in the pet section or walk through a minefield with a blindfold on?
Personally l think you have more chance of coming through the minefield unscathed - do pet people have no sense of humour at all?

I'll be counting the thumbs down & waiting for a violation because if the question is not 100% right in pets thats what you get!

I will be moving from a house with three dogs and 5 people to an apartment with just me and my one dog. In the past when he's been left completely alone, he is known to cry. He gets lots of playtime during the day and has the option of his crate at all times (which he does enjoy but is never 'locked in'). I give him special toys and treats when he is alone and leave the tv or the radio on, but he still cries! Any other sugestions? Thanks!

Ok...My fiance and I moved in together 4 months ago and shortly after we got a kitten... Turns out he's allergic. I'm a cat lover and have had one all my life but, he says the itchy eyes and stuffy nose are too much to deal with and he wants me to get rid of the cat. He refuses to medicate prior to coming home and has psoriasis so I'm not sure if shots will help. I know of a place where she can go and will be well taken care of but, as this is the man I am supposed to spend to the rest of my life with and I likley will never be able to have a cat like I've always wanted, should I make him happy and rehome the cat or should I keep my cat and find a new husband?

Please help!!!!

I have had him from a home for about 3 weeks and have tried tugging on his lead and saying no every time he pulls but he wont answer. He doesnt want treats when he is out, he takes them in his mouth and puts them on the floor (he loves them in the house). I have tried keeping him close to my leg, even when he stops to sniff he will then sprint ahead as if to make up ground. I dont know what will get through to him. Once he has had a run off his lead he walks home and is great, no pulling, but I dont want to have to tire him out every time we want a nice walk, as with the dark nights there are only limited times I can let him off his lead in fields.

When I recently purchased a puppy I was told that it was a female, just shy of six weeks old. After 11/2 weeks my puppy appears to have male genitalia. Is it that difficult to determine the gender of a small puppy? I will be taking him or her to the vet this week. Just thought I could get a good answer from someone on this site.

I have a small 10 gallon aquarium and it does not produce much algae at all. I need it to have some algae as I have an oto...and I don't want him to starve. I have just normal light bulb lighting, not flourecent. Can I keep the light on at all times or will this hurt the fish (no plants, just 5 guppies and an oto).

Ok, I started to get algae (diatoms) in my new aquarium after about 3 months. It's been fully cycled since week 3 or 4 (I know, very quick cycle...TLC for freshwater aquariums works well!). I have 2 male and 3 female guppies in there now since about week 3-12 (added a few at a time). Yesterday I added a oto to the mix to take care of the ugly algae. my question is...i keep aquarium salt in my aquarium (1tbs/5 gallons) and I dont know if this is ok for the oto (being that catfish don't have scales.) Also, I am worried that I won't have enough algae after a few days for him to live off of...what can I feed him other than natural occuring algae? What other helpful hints about otos do you guys have?

I've looked everywhere for a breeder but they are all either too far away or have no avaiable kittens. I read a cat care book that advised me not to ship a cat so anywhere far from MD, Dc, or VA is out of the question. Need help!
