i have a male jack russell... he is coming up to be 12years old soon...

when he was young he was always very healthy and active. but as he has got older he has become lazier and has slept more throughout the day..

usually when he needs a wee he would stand by the back door to our garden or scratch on it.

whats concerning me is... recently, he doesnt bother to stand by the door.. he will just stand on the spot and wee right infront of us all... sometimes he cocks his leg up as normal... but sometimes he just stands there and wees as a female would.

when he does this we put him outside and make sure he wees out there, while we clean up inside.

he also seems to be drinking more water now too..

anyone have an idea why? Please help...

Hi, I live in Mumbai, India. I have a male betta fish since July-August 2006. He has been doing pretty well. I only have an air pump in his tank along with some tank decorations like a castle,an artificial plant and a cave... No filter and no heater. I have always maintained his water at room temperature.
I had never seen his excreta until today. I'm concerned cos it was red in colour. Could it be because his fish food is red in colour?
Also, he remains at the top of the tank with his head towards the rim and his body slanting downwards. He swims and eats too but he looks awkward when he does the slanting thing.
Right now the temperature in Mumbai is High of 30degrees CELCIUS and low of 16degrees CELCIUS.
Please tell me whats wrong my pet and what I can do to help him?
Thank you and happy new year.

That's how my husband and I feel about our 3 cats and our dog. Since we don't have any children and never will. They all are like our sons since they all are males and we treat them like our own children. How about you?

Can anyone give advice as to how to travel with a goldfish? we have had him for so long, and he has his own round bowl that he's always been in. We are rather fond of him, but don't know if there is a safe way to move him! I know it's a silly question, but I need to know! Thank you.

we have a going on 15 yr old Eng Springer Spaniel, Holly. Shes a lovely old gal, and has aged graefully. Shes my husbands dog. she can see fine, her coat looks good but how do we know if she has a quality life? She has urinary incontinence, and at times can not control her BM's. she had a complete mastectomy due to breast cancer last year. Her legs are stiff when she walks especially 1 back legs and some times she shivers or trembles, I dont think its that she is cold. When she is up, she at times seems disoriented as to where she is. She wants to be with right beside her daddy all the time now, and is up n down all night constantly wanting him for something, he gets up over 5-6 times a night, she doesnt want to go out but just stands there wanting him to be near and I think he is just getting ehausted himself. Ive had been opposed to euthanasia i felt just let them go on their on, but i am not for prolonging suffering. what does this seem like to those who have expericened similar ?

our dog has been diagnosed and is being treated for heartworms, his last 2 injections to kill the woems was 3 wks ago. 2 days ago he started coughing I called the vet and told me to give him cough medicine, but today he was not eating and breathing really fast and had no energy and had a fever. Is this a bad sign ? I left him at the vet today also so they can put an iv and give him a steroid shot and they had me leave him over night. Does anyone know if he will be ok after thi ?

mutt.

I will try to understand that the cat is from Venus and I am from Mars.

I will no longer be beholden to the sound of the can opener.

I will circulate petition that Leg Humping be a juried competition in major dog shows.

l will call PETA and tell them what that surgical mask-wearing freak does to us when no one is around.

I will take time from busy schedule to stop and smell the behinds.

I will always scoot before licking.
I will grow opposable thumb; break into pantry; decide for MYSELF how much food is too much.

I will NOT chase the damned stick unless I see it LEAVE HIS HAND.
========================================
Wish you all a Happy and prosperous New Year for 2007..

It was about 3-4 inches long, brownish-greyish-green colored, with a little spiky ty pe crest that looks a little like the red part on a chickens head, only I think it was feathers, and it was much smaller then on a chickens. Thanks.

Eat it like a savage or like a gentleman? It has to be better than soya.

I have a 20 gal tank and I'm wondering if adding a power head to add some water flow will be too strong and actually disturb the puffers (I have 4)?

I read on a blog that a power head can actually suck a puffer and get it stuck! Also, sometime when my puffers aren't paying attention, they'll get temporary stuck on the filter (it's a pretty weak filter).

How long does a K-9 usually work in the field? What happens when the dog retires? Do most officers keep them AND get a new one? Is it an issue if you already have two dogs? I mean don't you think it would really affect your other dogs if you got a new one that got to leave with you every day?

This is something that I'm hoping to be a possibility in my future, but I'm not sure it's a good idea with my other dogs. I have not talked to any trainers or other K-9 Units yet as this is far ahead in my future. I will of course learn more if I make it on the department. I just thought someone here might have some experience to share.

If I take the food up every time I feed so the HUGE one doesn't over eat, then the little tiny 4 pound skinny cat will not be able to eat even as much as she does now.
