About 4 or 5 months ago, my wife and I got a dog from the pound. He's a happy, good dog with a pleasant disposition. Doesn't bark much, has a lot of energy, and is extremely loving.
And at first, he and I got along great. But then he started peeing and pooping in the house, and I disciplined him harshly (but not any more than I punished our black lab that we raised froma puppy, who is now 8 months old and has perfect behavior). It was my mistake to presume I could punish the new dog (Freeman), who had come from a pound after being seized from a home, the same as I punished my lab for bad behavior. Now, Freeman is terrified of me. When I come near him, he lays down and submissively pees all over the place, and sometimes he yelps as if I'm going to beat him to death or something. He will not ever approach me. He stays glued to my wife's side, and will not leave her sight. If he's left alone with me, he yelps. If she's not home, he hides on the side of the house all day. What can I do???

my guppys fin (not her tail) is a lot smaller than the other one and she cant swim. she lies at the bottom of the tank. i guess another fish may have bitten it off because she used to swim fine. i have been picking her up and hand feeding her but will it ever regrow?

I'm wanting a tattoo and I love turtles. Do turtles have any special meanings? I have read they bring luck, longevity and prosperity. Is this true?

I have a pet turtle and HER name is ZACK she is not even a turtle she acts like a dog. turtles don't make vocal sounds but she dose she will only make them if you rub her or scratch her. zack also knows how to dance all she dose is lift up her butt area and shakes it like crazy. she can beg and fetch and will follow you around. the thing zack loves to do the most is cuddle up in bed. she leaves presents on the bed too. if you know what i am talking about. so what do you think of my turtle? or is this normal?

I have called many vets and they say that rabies booster is every 3 years. My vet says every 2 years. Do they even have a 2 year vaccine or is my vet wrong and trying to take me for a ride?

A bit of a cold question, I know, but it's getting really hard work, what with a 1 year old son to look after.
My mum's dog died earlier ths year, she was 14 and my mum kept her going too long, I felt. She couldn't even stand up to wee and was totally blind.

My dog is 14, a collie/ labrador cross and has been a wonderful pal. The past year his back legs have gone and recently he poos in the house everyday, he'll even be in the garden, then come into the house to poo!! I don't want to "do a mum" and keep him alive far past him being happy and not in pain, but how do I judge it?

How to Survive an Anaconda Attack
According to the Peace Corps manual for volunteers who work in the Amazon jungle, here is how you survive an anaconda attack (edited for space).
1. Do not run. The snake is faster than you.
2. Lie flat on the ground, put your arms tight against your sides and your legs tight against each other.
3. Tuck your chin in.
4. The snake will begin to nudge and climb over your body.
5. Do not panic.
6. The snake will begin to swallow you feet first.
7. You must lie perfectly still. This will take a long time.
8. When the snake has reached your knees, reach down, take out your knife, slide it into the side of the snake’s mouth between the edge of its mouth and your leg. Quickly rip upward, severing the snake’s head.
9. Be sure you have your knife.
10. Be sure your knife is sharp.

AB1634 has been amended for consideration by the Senate. The amendments change the bill significantly (and not for the better).

The intact permit would now be available for ONE male and ONE female animal in a household and they would be allowed to produce ONE litter (lifetime).
They would have to be spayed or neutered after this litter. Purebreds and mixed breeds are treated the same under this legislations. Titling age has been changed to 3 years. Local animal control agencies are still able to eliminate the "show dog" provisions in local ordinance (i.e., only service/working dogs, etc. would be eligible for the intact permits).
