She's 9weeks old and I don't really know how to train a dog. She's starting to catch on to the potty training thing, but will still find a place on the carpet . She hates the leash and won't come when called unless she wants to. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

I'm in Canada, and have been reading AKC news and noticed there is a spay/neuter law in somes of the States. Does this mean one cannot own an "intact" dog or cat? What States if any have that law?

My boxer/coonhound mix, Sasha, is usually pretty laid-back, except when guests show up. However, after most of my guests have been in the house for a few minutes, Sasha calms down and acts normally. This is NOT the case when my mother comes over! Sasha barks and growls at my mom as though she's ready to bite her head off any minute, no matter how long my mom stays. My mom--who, granted, is not a "dog person"--tries her best to speak nicely and be friendly to Sasha and let the dog sniff her, but the barking never stops. The other day, my mom went on a walk around the block with us, and Sasha chose to bark at Mom the whole time, while staying silent around strangers on the street. Arggh!! What is up with my dog? How do I stop this behavior?

OK, here's my funny short story.

I once only had (1) algae eater in my 50 gallon aquarium and a couple of my friends asked me why I did not have any other fish in my tank.


So I decided to buy me some Mollies (2) white ones and (1) orange one.


Anyway, they were doing just fine, minding their own business when I noticed 16 new babies swimming near the gravel 2 weeks later. OK, so fast forward to today... it's been about 2 months since I bought the parents and now I have 40+ baby Mollies in my fish tank. Yikes!!! :(


I know they are live-bearers, but now I am getting scared as to what to do with the babies. I asked our local pet shop if they would buy them from me, but they said no, due to store policies.


I will try to give some of them away to some friends, but I am afraid, my "very happy fish" will be giving birth to even more babies.

Does anyone know if "fish" can be fixed?? LOL :-) Or does anyone have a solution besides getting rid of the momma/poppas??

My pomeranian, who I've had for 15 years is sadly going to be put to sleep tomorrow. Her health has gone downhill so much lately that she can't do anything on her own... This dog is like a child to me, I've had her since I was 5 years old. Does anyone know of a company or a website that makes caskets for your pets? I am having a hard time finding them. I can't stand the thought of burying her in the ground without a casket. And no smart answers about putting her in a box, please.

Ok, so I am getting to the point where I might have to give my puppy to my parents and I really don't want to. She is a miniuture poodle about 3.5 lbs and about 4 months old. She is so hyper. I can't even hold her she just wiggles around. The groomer said the same thing. I take her out about 20-30 mins at a time and she doesn't go outside, she comes in the house and goes. I yell at her, trying to do my best. She always bites me and is a ankle biter. Last night I got three hours of sleep because all she did was cry in her crate which she has never done before. It seems like it is getting worse and worse. I love her to death but I can't handle this anymore. I try to be strern with her but it doesn't work she just looks at me. She pees and poops all in my house. I am running out of ideas. All I want is a puppy that I can play with and pet and is noce. I think she hates be. Any help will be nice

My one year old flowerhorn fish looks like she's peeling. Is this normal?? She seems fine at times, but there are times when I find her sulking in one corner of her aquarium. Her water's clean, her appetite's good. What's the matter with her??

My local mailman is a real jerk. He maced my dog through a screen door. Like my dog could have really bit him through a door. So to get revenge on this gutless/ coward mailman, I went to the public mailbox (the standard blue ones) he picks up at and scooped 1/2 gallon of chocolate fudge ice cream in it. I then waited from afar to see the look of disgust on his face as he tried to make sense of the ruined ice cream soaked mail. Now hopefully when he brings this back to the post office he will be fired for getting his ice cream on the mail. Don't you agree this is great karma for an animal abuser?

I had an established aquarium & I tried adding Topsoil to the substrate to make it more plant friendly, but with water in the tank... Its made a big brown mess out of the water, where the light penetrates about 4 inches into the water & Nothing is visible.

I've done 2 50% water changes, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. The penetration of the light is still at about 4 inches.

I've Been stuffing the filters full of polyfiber and changing it every few hours. The polyfiber has been coming out brown, and there doesn't seem to be any progress in the clarity of the water. There is about 1 inch of semi-visibility.

I'm afraid my fish will not be able to see their food and will starve in a few days if I don't find a solution. Should I try using up the micron cartridges for my magnum filter?
