When we first put them in they were very aggressive to each other (through) the glass. I thought the red one was going to have a heart attack! So I cut a peice of a plastic folder and slid it infront of the glass so they could not see each other. Everyone seemed fine but the past 2 days the one with the plastic on his side has not been eating. He attacks the food but then spits it out. I found several pellets on the bottom. So I am wondering if it is from the plastic. If I take it out will they eventually calm down even though they can see each other?

We have a 1 year old border collie female; we just got another puppy that is now 12 weeks old. The thing is if the puppy does something wrong the older dog thinks she is in trouble. Or when we are trying to train the puppy like sit or stay the older dog feels left out and gets upset and wants extra attention making it hard to focus on the puppy. I feel bad if I put her in her crate to train him because she looks at me like she feels left out.
I know we needed to give her extra attention, but the thing is the puppy is having hard time learning. Its really like monkey see monkey do. And if the older dog is not there he does not know what to do. What can I do that both dogs would benefit. There both very sweet and good tempered. There like my kids.

It doesn't seem to be hurt and it makes alot of noise. Its eyes are open and it seems to be losing its baby feathers. It has short wings and cannot fly yet. Is there someone I can call that takes care of wildlife in the Connecticut area? What do I do to keep it alive until I can get it to someone qualified to take care of it?

So pretty much on each pice there are a multitude of colors. Is this coral growing or just algea? will live rock form corals or wil i have to buy coral to put on the live rock?

I am here with her all day, take her out , play with her, and she still bites me. I know she is only playing , I don't want to hit her. I tell her firmly "NO" My b/f is very angry because she bites me and it is causing alot of probs. I can't be mean to her.. it is not in my nature to be mean to anybody or anything> tips on calming her down? that don't involve taking to trainer.. she is causing alot of stress and strife in my life

but my parents say I can't. We live in a medium sized condo, and of course they let us have pets.
My mom says that they will attract bugs. Will they attract bugs? She also says that they will cost too much. I am willing to pay about $500 myself, which I hope will be about or more than half of the total cost. I also did my research and it said the average maltese will eat about $20-30 of food per month.
It also said that it is active indoors, and only needs about 20 minutes of outdoor time everyday.
One major concern is that it might get lonely. I am at school from 7:15 to around 4:00, Monday to Friday. My father can't take care of a dog. My mom has work from 9:00 to 5:00 on Tuesdays and Fridays. I can take the dog for a walk at a park right accross the street everyday, though. And I really love dogs, so I will try my best to give all of my affection to him/her.
Should this convince my mom, and is all of this info true?

What does it take for an owner to be annoying? I dropped off my baby at the vet this morning (neuter and shots) and they told me I could call at lunch to check on him. Then I stopped by after work to see how he was doing (he has to stay overnight :( ). I have a tonne of questions and worries but don't want to be annoying. At what point does an owner become annoying?

Our beautiful little girl Scooter (4 year old Australian blue heeler) recently got into rat poison. Thank God we realized it very early, I am guessing as we got her right in at the vet and they saw her right away. They took EXCELLENT care of her and even though we paid them of course, I want to do more. Does anyone have a cute idea that my 3 dd's could make to show the vet/staff how much we appreciate their help (besides a card)? This really is a miracle that she has done so well, and we want to let them know how appreciative we are. Thanks!

Everyone talks about getting your dog spayed, which i think is fine but to neuter a male. thats plain wrong. How would you feel about not having balls?(obvioulsy only applicable to guys or those with balls)

I started feeding my cat wet food awhile ago to help cure him from throwing up all the time. He got used to it real fast and now begs and sits 24/7 next to his food bowl and basically harrasses me until I give him some wet food even though he won't touch a full bowl of dry food in the next room. Then an hour or so later he's back at it again. What can I do about this? Please help ... he's meowing nonstop and bugging the sh*t out of me!

about an hour ago my dog was hit my a car. we brought him to the hospital. he has to say over night but he should be ok. the car that hit him didn't even come to our door and tell us what happened. my sister saw it but she is too young to think of looking at the cars plate numbers. so if you hit a dog/cat or any animal that was someones pet and did not tell them (hit and run) would you feel guilty/bad about it. im asking cause i want to know if some people are actually compassionate. personally i hope who ever hit him is feeling really horrible. if they came to the door and just told us what happened i wouldn't be as mad. ******* asshole (sorry) im still shaking and feel like im gonna throw up over what happened.
