Pets - 29 December 2006

I was going through people's questions and came across one that bothered me just a little. It was asked if a whole breed should be distroyed and many people said yes.

My answer to this is how can you judge a whole species in away to get rid of them all?

With this logic mankind should be destroyed as well.

Mankind hurts more people and other things than anything else.

Compare how many children are hurt by the hand of man and how many children are hurt by not only pitbulls but all dogs.

I bet even if you add all dogs with cases of violet towards children and others the dogs will win!

So how can a species that is so much more violet than another say anything about destroying that animal completely?

This is a really dumb question I know, but…
I have read that in order to grow plants you need at least 2 watts of fluorescent light per gallon of water. I have a 29 gallon tank, which means that I need about 60 watts of light. The light that came with my tank hood only has a 20 watt bulb. I have been to 2 hardware stores and 2 fish stores and neither one of them sells fluorescent bulbs higher than 30 watts.

My question is; where do I get 60 watts of fluorescent light so that I can grow plants?

Thank you.

I have a 2 month old puppy that previously listened to me, would respond to things such as "sit" "come here" "lay down" and she is already housetrained. I have assumed the dominant position well. However, the past few days she has completely ignored me. I talk to her but she'll look and walk away. She wants nothing to do with me, and when I try to correct her behavior she starts growling and becomes almost vicious. What is happening here?

Is she blaming me for a recent vet visit? Is she just showing her colors as a dog that will be hard to manage? Should I give up and find her a new home before she gets too old to find one?

We recently acquired a new puppy and we are debating about making this animal an indoor/outdoor pet so I can take it to work with me. How often can/should the puppy be bathed and what type of shampoo should/can be used?

A girl buys a horse at auction and the horse is a purebred Trakenher. The story twists when the horse is a colt that her grandfather had stolen from him in the 1970s. The colt is the colt of the colt that was stolen, more so. Her grandfather had imported the Trakenher to help rebuild the breed inorder of it's survival. Where the colt came from it has a history. At four years old the colt has been floating around and is poorly raised. The horse came from an established farm where a younger women was killled by the colt. He threw her into the arena fence. The husband wants the colt dead but the wife had left the colt to her sister. The sister had immediately sold it to get money and ensure it's safety. Kaelah is the girl who gets it and has to face the man who's wife the horse has killed.... and dah dah dah dah dah. Well?

They just growl louder. The other dogs are a 2 yr golden & a newfoundland. Very genltle dogs. How do I train her and/or why does she do this? I have had other goldens in the past, never had this happen before.

I have a 8 month old male who isn't fixed. I know and understand the differences of a male not being fixed. I believe he could have been feral before we recieved him. We received him when he was about 4 weeks old. We hand raised him, bottled fed him, you named it...we did it. He WILL NOT let anyone other than me and my husband to touch him, even the though the other two older cats reassure him that it's okay. My two step-daughters come over every other weekend and stay with us for 3 days, and they still are not allowed to touch him. Other friends and family come over, he reacts the same to them also. He hasn't actaully hurt anyone but he sure does put on a show. Was my kitten possibly feral or is he just protecting our pack???

catnip ... my cat doesnt really like it, or anything else for that matter. any suggestions as to what else i could try getting him as a treat?

My dog typically has thin belly fur, but recently I've noticed that it's so thin I can pretty much see his skin.

My dog is a bit lazy and loves to lie around on the carpet all day. I play with him, but he is most happy just rolling around the carpet and napping. Could laying down all day be a cause for why there is barely any fur on his belly?

The coat on the other areas of his body are fine and he doesn't seem to have any health problems.

We're going through 35lbs of food a week with 3 large dogs, and weekly trips to buy food are getting ridiculous. Does anybody order their food in bulk, and if so is it possible to receive some kind of discount through certain companies?

Like is it the tollerance for them or what is it. Like I stop giving them to her but i want to know what is it about the treats that this is happening? Cause the same thing happened to my friends cat too. We give them the same treats and havent really changes the brand at all. Is that it? Any personal Experiences or any ideas?
