Also, he was paper trained- but then he EATS the paper- I get him outside and he goes--he of course as a pup, likes to chew EVERYTHING--even our carpet-he rips it out near the tile--not good- caught him chewing on the cell phone charger and trying on other wires-not good--I'm going crazy because everytime I turn around he is into mischief--knocks things off the coffee table chews them, digs in the dirt in my plants- chews the leaves--(moved all toxic plants to my bedroom dressers-diffenbachia)---the vet said to let him smell a treat before you let him outside then praise him when he goes and give him the treat when he comes in---sorry, but he has no CLUE what the treat is for by the time he comes in the house--there must be a better way---need all the advise I can get Oh by the way-- my 11 year old female is being tormented because he thinks she is her mother--thank god she tolerates his pulling on her ears!

I'm worried that it's not eating. I have meaty and waffer (veggie) food. I've tried placing the food in the middle of the star only for it to stay a little while then the star pushes it out and I find the food on the bottom of the tank.Is this normal or should I not worry and it will eat when it's ready.I have other fishes and live and dead rock.my tank was just cleaned about two weeks ago and I have a shrimp, hermits and snails.The tank temp stay around 79 degrees.

This really bothers me okay! people ask questions about their dog (pitbulls) and they say why dont you get rid of him before he hurts a baby! this is really out of control i have a pit and he wouldnt hurt anything! I mean have you ever owned one or do you go by what the "news" says? I think it isnt right if i had the chance to change how people feel about this breed i would. my pit is very well behaved,well he most of the time hes still a puppy. I have so many people come up to me and say is he going to bite me! Its desturbing hes about 2 feet high. he wants to get to you for you to pet him and him to lick you to death. My pit is around people and many types of dogs all the time! I just wanna know how you feel about this? you could make a lil poodle mean!

My brother in law left me in charge of the house and the fish-maybe a 30 gal tank. He's got a huge coy-maybe 5 lb. And I dont know what this other one is-looks like a gigantic beta but its not. Then he got a baby coy?about 2" before he left. Now the baby coy and (huge beta) are lifeless on the bottom of the tank. Nothing changed while he was gone except do you think that if the room was too cold, the water got cold and killed them?I dont know if they're dead but if I cant revive them, I'm done for.Help Help.

This past weekend, another dog attacked my dog - unprovoked - at an off-leash park we visit regularly. I did not call the police because neither dog was injured, and the owners of the dog took her home. However, soon after the incident, I learned that that dog had tried to pick fights with other dogs earlier in the afternoon. People at the park had even asked the other dog's owners to take her home because she was being too aggressive. I also found out that this was not the first day that the other dog had caused trouble at the park. This dog attacks other dogs for no reason. She's aggressive and should not be off-leash in public.
What is the best course of action for park visitors should those people show up again? Do we all have to wait for that dog to injure another dog or a person before we can do anything?
Please advise!

One of my dogs has some social issues. She barks at the door bell, people and other dogs. She's is very sweet to me though. Now we found a stray dog in our yard one day and had to help it. So now we have two and our first dog won't get along with the stray dog. And we can't give the stray dog away because no one will take him. If anyone has any advice on what I should do please help. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I never eat at fast food places anymore. I gave that up probably 4 years ago. However, I still stop by every once in a while and get a burger for my dog. Now she is getting fat. Unfortunately, everytime we drive by a McD's or a BK or a Wendy's she whines and I always give in. Any suggestions?

I'm looking in to getting a ten gallon fish tank. I'm a beginner, and I know that guppies and tetras are good for beginners. How would a few african dwarf frogs do in a tank with guppies and tetras? Are there any larger few that could go in a ten gallon tank without it being too cramped or dirty?

I have two very small Chihuahua's. They are both about six pounds each. One loves to go for long walks and that is how him and I get a lot of exercise. The other one is timid, frail and fragile. He is healthy, he is just a bit sensative, he is very active outside, but he is afraid of the outside world, he likes his Daddy and his brother. He does not like long walks nor is he very good at them. Is it bad I walk one dog and leave the other at home? I don't want to hurt the others feelings? I want the exercise for me and the other one though.

Atleast bark at suspicious strangers. Right now she wants to just lick and smell any person she comes across.

In April me and my boyfriend broke up. Before that he and my cat were really close. Needless to say after the breakup my boyfriend wasnt around much. Anyways, we have since gotten back togethere. My cat wont deal with my boyfriend at all,now. And he down right hates my room mate but every time my boyfriend is around my cat is all up under my roommate. Its cute. He also acts like this towards me when I dont come home until morning and then when I feed him we are buddies again. So, is he trying to tell us something?

My oldest little boy is now 4yrs. I bought him a gold fish when he was 7 mos. old. The fish has got huge! I'm really worried b'cause his scales are sticking out on the sides and its reddish in color where they are sticking out. He looks like he is going to explode. I'm worried he has a disease and it will spread to the other fish.

Ok I have heard a lot of people say that a little bit of salt goes a long way when you have mollies...1tsp or so, to about 5 gallon tank. But what I haven't heard is, Will this affect the other fish??
I have 5 tiger barbs and 3 mollies, I am still going to get a pleco.

My question is, will this little bit of salt hurt, help or not affect the other fish in the tank??
