Pets - 4 January 2007

I have a beta fish. People say to take out half the tank water and add the other half with clean water. Others say that you put your fish in a cup and take out the whole thing, add fresh water, and let your fish bob around; getting use to surroundings.

Anyone ever have a cat who literally breathes loudly? Sounds like she is stuffed up.
We use premium litter (Freshstep, $$) and feed her Purina food... any ideas on how to treat this nose whistly/stuffiness without going to the vet? Note* she is perfectly active and otherwise healthy, except this stuffy sound

It's a male and he is 10 months old.

I raised a yorki-poo so, I know alot about them and their attitudes but, I know nothing about this dashound.

Like, what toys are best for him? How can I get him reacclimated to his potty training? What's the best food? How hard is he to train?

See...I'm lost.

Help, please!

like a dog or something, do you just throw it out or do you have to call someone to get it?

Think about it. I want your opinion and an explanation.

I ask because I think too much, and I don't think being able to sit on command or roll over takes all that much brains.

What equipment do I need to maintain a fish tank? Besides the obvious tank itself and the filter. And I'm not talking about gravel or rocks or anything, I mean equipment. Right now, I have the net to catch dead fish in and chlorine remover and a heater. But that is it.

My yorkie is a lonely girl.She is 3 and she is not so small and not so big... But smaller then a toy size. Everday she just stares at us. If we move our head to the left she would do that if we move our head to the right she would do that... She has a boring life and I want it to be happy so I am thinking of getting a new dog so she can have a friend..
What dog do you think is recommended?She sleeps alot, Stares all day. We give her toys but instead she, well it seems like she always wants to stare at us. Then at night she plays with stuff toys. I dont get it why she doesnt want to play in the morning and afternoon but wants to play at night.So why does she do that? She does when we are asleep.She is so sweet and and she gets jeolous if you pay more attention to the other dog.But if I play with her she wont play because I guess she is more comfortable with a dog. She like our family more than anybody.

1. Puppy or dog? 2. Type dog

If so, what do they do?

Who benefits from the work your dog(s) do and in what way?

What breed/type of dogs do you use?

What is it about that breed/type that makes it particularly suitable for the job it does?

Are there any other breeds/types that could also be considered suitable for the job?

Anything else you can tell me on the subject?

*************************************************
I only ask because every dog I've ever owned has been a pet (and they've each done that "job" really well) - I'm not familiar with the "other side" of dog ownership, and I'm just interested.

I had posted earlier about not being able to find quality cat foods in my location, but did find a bird feed store today that carries Innova. I bought a bag of Innova EVO Cat and Kitten to try on my 2 4 month old kittens. The price/4 lbs actually seems to be comparable to Science Diet, and only about 0.50/lb more than Purina One. Is this considered a decent quality cat food? Should I be concerned that its' cat and kitten food seems to be one formula?

We have owned a hundred dogs, seems like, because we have 2 to 4 at a time in the house. Every one was special, some in a bad way, but most were family members and greatly loved. I am calm and feel loved with my dogs. I sleep with them (they get a lot of baths) and I buy so many collars for them, etc. etc. A hateful aunt once told me I had more pictures of my animals than I did my kids, then stood there looking at me like I was worthless. She is gone now but I still remember how bad she made me feel about loving dogs so much. Did anyone ever make you feel guilty for loving dogs or other pets?

The fish got stuck to the intake of a new filter on the tank. I have reduced the intake rate so no one gets stuck again.

I know this is a gross topic, but I want to know. His first poo in the morning, is normal, and formed, and hard. However, we go to the park, and he runs like a maniac, then, his poos get softer, and softer, eventually just liquid. He doesn't have any parasites, or worms, or diarrhea. Like I mean when we get home, he's not desperate to go outside, and he doesn't have accidents inside. Is this normal?
