I have a dog named Cocoa and she's about 15 years old. She's deaf, blind in one eye, and has the heart of a puppy. My parents told me recently that her other eye is starting to look like my former dog's eye, Lady, who had cancer and we had to put down.

My parents said that if this is the case and she has the same thing then we will have to put her down. I really love Cocoa and have known her all my life. I'm not ready to lose her but I don't want her to suffer. Please, if there's any helpful advice you can give me I would love to hear it.

I am thinking of adding a pond to my yard. I like the shape of this one http://www.maccourt.com/lowes/ponds/lp7918.html because where I would put it has something of a Y shape. I want to keep some goldfish in it, but I don't think 100 gallons is very big for fish and plants. I though about using just a flexible liner, but I worry about it getting a hole and the fish having no water.

Is it possible to use the premade one at the bottom and just sinking it about twice as deep, then using a liner inside so that if it does tear, the premade pond would still hold the fish and some water? Has anyone ever tried this? Or am I just worrying too much? I'd like something about 200-300 gallons total for the pond, plus a little waterfall at one end. Any suggestions on filters, UV, pumps as far as brands to buy or stay away from?

My husband and I just rescued 2 puggles last week (male & female). We are having issues with accidents in the house, learning commands and eating. I switched them to Nutro lamb & rice but neither is wanting to eat much and we are STILL having lots of accidents in the house. We take them out after eating, play, walk, love etc but for some reason they are still going in the house! My new carpet is ruined (I'm ok with that) but we are really struggling. Also the previous owners breed her and she had her first litter of pup at approx 10 months - will her milk teets ever go down now? I don't want to train with treats if they refuse to eat, I don't know of a good product to use to clean the carpets and how can I get them to eat & go. I give them 20 min. per meal and food goes up & they go outside. It seem they are more interested in sights,sounds, smells etc. Any advice on raising 2 lovable but VERY unpolished puggles?

If I lost a fish in the filter, would I know it? A little background... I bought four platys yesterday. I got one that was soo cool looking. Spotted body, red top fin and yellow tail fin. He was very active. When I brought them home he was still very active. Seemed to have quite a personality. Didn't display any signs of being ill at all. This morning, he's gone. I can't find him anywhere. I have three other platys still in the tank and only a couple of plants so no real place for him to hide. I don't see how he could have gotten in the filter. He was too big and the bottom part of the filter tube in the tank has a sort of grate over it. But, this fish is gone. Completely. Any suggestions at all? If he somehow got in the filter, would I know it? Wouldn't it block up the impeller or something. He was over an inch in length. I'm at a loss here. I should add - the other fish in the tank are some guppies and neon tetras.

I'd think it'd be okay so it can cool the water down when she comes in from outside, but I'm afraid when she's drinking it she might accidently choke on one. Is it okay or not?

Apparently, my BF's son decided that my BF's African Ciclids were "sick", so he got "medicine" (Ick Guard) out of a cabinet and put it in the tank.

I have NO IDEA how much he put in the 55 gallon tank. The bottle of Ick Guard is 2 oz; there's about 1/2 ounce to a 3/4 ounce left. I have no idea how muhc was in there in the first place, but I think most of it landed on his shirt!

My BF's at work right now, and can only take emergency calls (his work won't think this is an emergency), so I need some help!

What can I do? Do you think he gave them an overdose? Can I change some water to help it???

HELP!

I really do not want to come off the wrong way, but I generally feel I know extensive knowledge about Arowana. I've spend countless hours watching, observing, caring for, and reading up about them. I do need some help/information though on this. I've done alot of reading up on diets for them, and I feel I have enough food to help them thrive well, with crickets, and some ants, krill, and bloodworms. When I was in the supply store last night, I noticed they stock some small frogs, and was wondering if anyone knew would putting frogs into the tank, with the idea of it being a food source for Arowanas, would this be considered a good or bad thing? Mine currently are about 8 inches each. These frogs should be small enough, for the most part to fit in thier mouths. Does anyone know if they would eat these, and if they would, would this be considered a good or bad source of food for them? I could not find anything published on the web addressing frogs as part of the diet.

It's been 3 days since I got them, and 2 of them are actively swimming and eating. One of them however still hasn't eaten, apears weak, and doesn't even go up to get food. I tried catching it with a net and feed it there so the others don't come grab it, but still no luck. What should I do?
