I just keep reading all these stories about how evil "pitbulls" are and I just wanted to say... do you own a "pitbull" do you even know that thats not an actual breed?

but just to dispell a couple myths ... I have a lab mix-- a recently deceased plott hound and a staffordshire terrier

which would would you guys guess would be the meanest and the guard dog-- probably the "pitt" right? WRONG--- chevy would just sit there and lick them to death or shake with them.. (hes really good at shaking) whereas my other two babies would actually bark and protect me and/or the house

I just wish that more people that own these dogs would speak up for them and advocate on their behalf!
here are my babies-- (please note my plott hound was just killed in a tragic accident and she is no longer with me)
Chevy is the light brown color-- Meika (pronounced ME-KA) is the black and Daisy is brindle hound

I have 1 cherry barbs and 2 cory, I have a heated, 10 gallon tank. I am not planning to get any more cories or cherry barbs (i know that they need to be kept in schools) but I woudl like another species of fish that won't hog all the food, kept in pairs and is compatible in a ten gallon tank and my current fish.

I have 3 sarasa comet fish in my little pond and I have no clue what gender they are. I have had them for about a month and a half and I have noticed these extremely small things (about as big as this line _) that have the shape of a fish, swim like one, and go away when I stick my hand near them. I was just wondering if they were babies, tadpoles or a type of bug. Also, I found this white sack with what looks like little bubbles inside and was wondering if it was an egg sack, thing. Thanks! :)

I received a bit of good advice posting my last fish problem here, so I thought I'd give it another go. A couple of days ago, my 10 gallon fish tank began to make a strange noise; it's nothing loud or abnoxious. Every now and again, it sounds as if something were being dropped into the water--and trust me, that's not happening.

Now, I don't have the best history with fish--I'm new at this--, and the ones I own now are the first I've had with this tank. In the five months I've owned these fish , I have done little in the maintenance of my tank, other than water changes when the water level drops, and leveling the pH level.

I know I suck at owning fish--please don't answer to state that. I know it, and am working on it.

There's also salt build up around the filter cartridge--the thing that looks like you could scrub dishes with it? Do I need to clean that--and if so, how?--or replace it?

Any help on these problems would be appreaciated.

Thanks

I took my dog to the vet today because she began having bloody stools. She was diagnosed with clostridium and given antibiotics to treat it. The vet said that she has seen an unusually large amount of clostridium cases this year probably because of all the rain we have had. I forgot to ask her how my dog may have been exposed to this. Does anyone know? I would like to know because I have another dog and I don't want her to get it as well.

ok. i have had a dwarf female rabbit, for about a year, and i was wondering if another rabbit, preferably a different breed would bond well. i know different breeds cant breed so i wont have a problem there. sex doesnst matter, and i would get a bigger cage. if they didnt bond well, i would keep them in seperate cages, but could they bond without neutering/spaying?

thanks!!!!! ~~*Emmie*~~

There is only one end open, So, unless the snake can back up, it won't get out.

My dog is driving me insane. I've heard that collars that increase the intensity with the number of barks don't work well because they just teach the dogs to bark only two or three times. I want to stop it completely!

if you read my last question iwas pretty much flamed. with mroe details. i want to have other ways to confrot him. to be on the safe side, i called the vet. i have an appointment later. much to my expense. i seriously have no money though from my last visit to the vet. and i have no transportation. the closest is a good 40 minute walk.

i'm planning to take the bus.
but any ideas on how to comfort him. unfortunetly i dont have a carrier to take him there with.

what should i do?
dont flame me. i have my responsibilities too. i am responsible for this kitten. he just manages to hurt himself a lot.
next time someone tells me to surrender him, i'll lose it

My fiance and I want to get a small or medium sized dog. We are getting married in the fall and moving into a moderately sized apartment. Does anyone know of a breed of dog that is not too big for an apartment, does not shed a lot and would get along with a cat? We'd also prefer a dog that does not have an extremely high energy level that needs constant attention!

ok so i want to start a aquarium. i don't know what type of tank i can afford so i am thinking a 10 gallon? the fish i want to put in is 1 angelfish, 1 discus (maybe 2? i need help to know if this fish will be ok alone..) 2 blue coral platies, and i want 1 kuhli loach. this is what i need help with... first off, will 1 discus be ok in the aquarium? same question with the kuhli loach, will it be ok being the only species of its kind in the aquarium? my last question is; is there is enough room in the 10 gallon tank for all the fish i might have to be happy and healthy? which would be 5 fish if i do not need 2 discus' and loaches, and 7 if i did need 2 discus' and loaches. is that enough room? ty for your answers and best answer gets the points :)

when your taking him/her for a walk. i.e like when you run into another dog and that dog is just barking and trying to yank its owner over by you and your dog just ignores it and minds his own business. Kinda like when you have kids and go out to eat or something and see other kids throwing a fit and look at yours and there sitting there well behaved
