Hi,
I'm an eventer looking to buy a new horse. I recently found one, a 6 year old TB mare, that has been eventing at the Training level and is moving up to Prelim in March. She's a FANTASTIC jumper - she hasn't had any jump or XC penalties at all. However, she hasn't had very good dressage scores (she's only competed in 3 events, earning a 62.20, 47.89, and 51.60). I am looking for a solid Training/Prelim competitor. This horse has also competed at 3'6" jumpers throughout the winter so far, earning many 1st places. I think she might be able to be an upper level competitor, but I'm wondering if the dressage can be fixed. She's priced at $10,000. What do you guys think - should I buy her? She's only 6 years old, so her dressage might be able to be improved (Owner said she was just nervous at her 1st few events. Owner is an advanced level eventer). Thanks in advance.

I just purchased two baby rats from my local pet store yesterday. They are both very scared and I've been letting them smell my hands and holding them for a few minutes at a time to let them get used to me. I've read that to get them to understand that I'm friendly I should give them treats. The problem is, they won't eat any of the treats I've offered. I've offered a bit of apple, a cornflake, one of those little yogurt bites, and a few other similar things. They sniff them but won't even taste them.

Is there something else I can try? Am I doing it wrong? They don't seem to understand what the treat is or maybe they just don't want it.

Why do people feel that it is the dogs fault for him being a "vicious" dog.....I raised pits and NEVER had one attack me, maul me or bite me......these dogs are like children....if you raise them to be mean and vicious....guess what your gonna get that.....dogs, like kids are products of the upbringing they were TAUGHT. Yes people should be held responsible for the actions of ANY dog that they possess not just bulldogs (pits).... want to see my babie go to www.webshots.com/sparkydabomb and look in my dogs album.....Dogs need to be treated with love, understanding...not beat on kicked on, chained up and taught to hurt people unless they are hurting the owner.....dogs are our friends and would you treat your friend the way some treat pits and expect them not to turn on you or others? Come on people get a grip......pits aren't the problem...it's the owners, and HUMANS fault not the dog....he's acting on training and instict....

This behavior started suddenly, and he's annoying her and me. Can a neutered female attract a male? I don't think it's dominance...she's 30 lbs; he's 10 lbs. He's not mounting my other two females dogs.

Does anyone know where I can find hand fed love birds around Columbia or St Louis Missouri? I am not having much luck.

hey so my ball python has been in shed for quite some time now alil over a week, the old skin over his head is off and the rest of his body is still old skin. i have a small water dish under his light and a huge water dish in the middle of the tank to create moisture and humidity. my issue and question is... why isnt he shedding the rest of his body???? AND is it normal for him to take more than a week to shed cuz i feel like hes having a difficult time. i read that you should put him in his water dish and let him soak for a few minutes but he is very very aggresive and alot more bite happy lol. any ideas on how i could get him to shed off his skin or if i should do anything at all. thanx alotttttttt i know that was alot to read and i love everyone who responds with help<33333

I was eating Honey Buches of Oats (dry) and I dropped a piece (non sweetened) and my cat got to it before I could clean it up. She liked it (how odd), but I was wondering if eating a corn flake would do anything to my cat? Or no? I was juuust wondering.

OK.... cocker spaniel... and she has fleas! They were REALLY bad! But about 10 days ago, i took her to the groomer and they shaved her and gave her a flea bath. While she was there, i bombed my apartment. I have given her a bath myself almost every day and sit for hours picking fleas off of her. She keeps biting, she keeps scratching and i keep washing my sheets! <-- (for my own sake since she has NOT been sleeping in the same bed as me!) i continue to have new flea bites on MYSELF almost every morning. HELP!!! How do i get rid of these nasty pests ASAP?!?!?
