Pets - 14 January 2007

I have a 12 week old Pap. I plan to train him indoors and take him out daily for walks only as exercise because my college schedule gives me enough free time to spend with him, but is very erratic.
And I don't mind picking up his messes if they are in a designated area.

That being said, I'm having issues paper training him. He seems well trained in all other aspects and very bright, and I taught him paper = good from day 1. I have also been cleaning up his accidents with an enzyme thing to get rid of the scent.

But he has some very weird habits. For one, he seems to hate peeing and pooping in the same place. If left to his own devices, he will pee and poop in opposite corners of the room\pen. Another thing is though he knows what 'potty' means and that paper is good, whenever he has to go and I put him on the spot, he keeps running back to the spot he chose.

He was doing well, mostly hitting the paper, when all of a sudden he had a complete relapse. What do I do?

Kitty, a 13 year old female, spayed. There were no signs of any of this before my other cat, Bo (of 19 years ) died. Ever since her death,Kitty has been unbelievable. She wouldn't go upstairs for the longest time. That was Bo's space. Kitty will mostly be downstairs and constantly meow at 5:30 am and won't stop for hours or until someone feeds her. (She is fed twice or more daily, ) Then 15 min. later she throws it all up. We give her attention daily, she lays with us while watching tv.
Just recently she started over shooting her cat box. That's something my older cat did towards the end of her life. Any ideas?

We have about 1 week to go before the kittens arrive. I have given her a box and she is feeding well. Is there a massage you give to kittens that are not breathing? Does my cat clean her kittens poops or do I need to clean their box out? Also, how long after birth will it take for my cat to stop bleeding? (in case I need to rush her to the vet). Your help is much appreciated.

I've had a 20 gal. freshwater aquarium for about 6 months now. Recently almost all of the fish died and I'm not sure what's wrong with the tank. I tested the water and it seems to fine in terms of Gh, Kh, PH, nitrites and nitrates. The filter is working properly (I think, although I'm not sure how often I should be replacing the sponge pad or the carbon filter). I've noticed that there is a film, kind of like oil without the rainbow, on the top of the water. Anyone know what this might be? I change the water (about 20%) every couple of weeks. There also seems to be quite a buildup of algae on the fake rock things that I put in there. Is that bad? I bought an algae eater fish but it died before a week or so. If I need to get rid of the algae, what is the best way to do it? Just scrub it off with a brush? It seems like it would stay floating in the water unless I changed almost all of the water out, and I don't think that is good for an established tank either, please help, frustrated!

I see questions and answers that claim this dog or that dog is hypoallergenic. Does anyone really know what that means? Are they non-allergenic? Are they OK for everyone to be around? Even those with Asthma? What do we really know about these dogs? How much is fact and how much is fiction?

Opinions anyone?

Within the last 2 weeks for some reason he picks out a piece of his cat food out of his bowl and flings it across the floor,then he chases it and pounces on it until it disappears under the closet door.Then he repeats it until he has like 10 pieces of food in the closet.Why did he start doing that all of a sudden?
