My black moor has over the course of a few months changed from black to gold-ish. I mean all its color just went. Could this be bcuz of the food or the fact that its in the tank with only goldfish (all of one colour) and is adaptign or something ( this theory is likely). Please help would luv to regain my BLACK moor.

just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how i could try to get my dog to sleep outside without barking, we have only just got her and the first night we put her in the laundry because we did'nt have a kennel, but my dad hates the smell and wants her to sleep outside. The problem is when she was in laundry half the night she would scratch at the door, wanting out. i got up once to try and calm her, but then just ingorned her the rest of the night. i was jsut wondering if it will be worse when she is put outside. like will she bark and stuff if so how can i stop her from doing that?

Other than betta and goldfish, what kinds of easy-to-maintain fish would do well in a 3-gal tank? It doesn't matter if I can only keep one fish in the tank, but a community of smaller fish is good too.

My biggest problem with her is her ears. It never lays nicely. Is there a shampoo that will help to show off that georgeous coat of hers. I have rarely seen such a beautiful retriever. If only I could show it. All suggestions appreciated. Thanks for your time

At one point he was doing good. He would run to the newspaper when he needed to use the bathroom and when I took him outside he would use the bathroom. Now he still you the bathroom when I take him outside but, now he pees on the floor instead of the newspaper. Then one time he used the bathroom right beside the newspaper. What do I do?

Hi, i wanted to know how to begin taking care of a 2 year old cat that was given to my mom from her office friend. the cat is a female, and currently not very active to us, probably because of not seeing us as her owner. she goes to my room directly under my bed. i try petting her. like for example: she likes getting rubbed on her head. Now what should i or we do , for her to get adjusted to the new environment she's in. how long could it last? will she continually hide under my bed? any advices and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. it's my first time to have a cat as a pet. i have many fish tanks. but not a cat. so pls help me.

my 8 month old Rottweiler has been diagnosed with hip displasia. Although I am not accepting this info. My question is this: if he has it on his right side, why does he favor his left? And sometimes doesnt put much weight on the left side? Shouldnt he favor the right? And isnt he too young to truly tell this disease? As far as I know the breeder shows no signs from parents....please help. I am giving glucosamin, nyzmes and metacam per my Vet (also pepcid each day)....thank you

My wife did this the other night. There was waste smeared all over it, and I'm convinced it's completely unsanitary and may ruin the dishwasher.
