After a heavy rain fall we found a young bird on the ground we picked it up and put it in the a bucket put some seeds in it. Its to young to fly and we were scared that an animal might come and eat, what can we do to get it back into the wild or is there someone we can give it too.

I'm wondering when a dog really develops his habits and personality. My dog is a great dog, he doesn't bark and his disposition is super sweet and he's 11 months old. I'm thinking about getting another dog and I'm wondering if I should wait or is now a good time?

My dog, Gizmo, is a 6 year old Pekingese and he won't stop marking his territory! I thought I stopped the problem but I found some pee stains behind my mothers bed when I was re-painting her room for her birthday and I KNOW they werent there before. I'm getting so frustrated! I took him to the vet for a full blown checkup and hes fine, so its not a UTI. I know not to use anything with Ammonia (hes used to the ammonia anyway, so it doesnt help). He was neutered at 6 months, so I have no idea WHY he keeps doing this!

I'm usually good with solving these types of problems, but this one stumps me. I have a new puppy (female) who is almost 7 months old and I dont want her to learn that its okay to pee inside the house -- and for Gizmo to throw off her training because she is doing SO well.

If anyone has any websites or ANY advice, please share. I'm at my witz end!
If you need to know any additional info, just tell me and I'll Add Details for you.

Thanks so much.

Have an 8 week old pitbull.....just got his leash and collar yesterday. At first, he wouldn't even walk with the damn thing on - lol stubborn *** would just not move. But anyway, he moves freely now, a little hesitant some times, but its only the second day.

My problem is, when he does start walking, he always cuts me off!!! Its the most annoying thing ever. He just doesn't walk in a straight line, he just walks on the side of me, and cuts my feet off. I have to extend my arm with the leash just so he doesn't cut me off. But that makes walking more difficult.

Any suggestions?

Should i just step on him one good time to teach him a lesson lol j/k i know thats cruel....lol but thats why i'm here asking for advice.

I've had my tank for more than a month and it cycled completely before I added any fish. I originally had issues with ammonia because I added too much food to get the cycle going. Now, the ammonia has shown at 0 ppm and I test it daily. It's been that way for 2 weeks now. My nitrites spiked then returned to 0 as well. However, for about the past week nitrites have been spiking again > 1 ppm. Ammonia is still at 0 ppm, and Nitrates steadily climb. I've done 25% water changes to keep my fish healthy, but nitrites still increase way too quickly. What can I do? I tested the tank today and here are the specs: Ammonia 0 ppm; Nitrite 1.5 ppm; Nitrate 40 ppm. I've used Hagen Cycle to aid in the cycling.

I have a 7 month old Boxer, he's about 48lbs right now. He's tall, but very lean, definitely looks thin. We feed him Nutro's Natural Choice large breed puppy formula (dry food), but he doesn't seem to fill out at all. Is there anything else i can do to put some meat on his bones?

I'm very new to breeding but know all the rules and necessary requirements, such as proper conditioning and raising of the fry. I don't need lessons, because I've read many books but maybe some special tips with experienced folk would help. The female I have has a fairly white body with some lavender (pale purple) iridescence on the body but the fins are completely covered with this color. She has black eyes, and there's no noticeable particular fin type, like double tail. I would like to breed her with a pure deep red veil tail male that I have, but I'm not sure if her lavender would be masked by his red. He's not a cherry red but a deep dark red and has red eyes. I have other males, but I can tell that these two like each other a lot through their interactions through the glass. Would they be appropriate or should I choose a different male?

They are white at this point. I don't know how long they have been there. I just looked at the tank this morning and there they were.

well I went on a walk with her, and about 100 yards from my house, she stopped and laid down. after much coaxing (to no avail), I had to pick her up and carry her to my house (which wouldnt be so bad if she wern't a great dane). anyway, I've sprayed her down with water but she is still kinda laying there. its been about 2-3 hours now. please help....
