I have looked at different websites and the recommendations for this are all over the map. What is the best SG for a saltwater aquarium? I plan on keeping fish only, not a reef aquarium. I have seen recommendation for anything from 1.022 to 1.026.

I have a bill of sale and on the bill it says the horse it paid for and that I could leave the horse their as long as I wanted to free of charge. She has been their for about 5 months while I have been building my barn and stuff. Now I want to get here but the lady says I owe here $2,000 board fee. I have already given here $500 for food when I bought the horse. How can I get the horse back without having to pay more money. She told me the horse could stay for free.What do I do?

My cat is hurt, he's been like this for a few days. It's not serious enough for the vet but I would like to give him something to ease the pain. Would IBprophin or advil or even Tylenol work?

Hi, am the proud owner of a dalmatian and also 34 weeks pregnant. The thing is, I can't walk her as long as I have ben able to in the past. I get really breathless (which is confusing to me as I am a very active person). I feel that she is maybe slightly depressed due to this but I am showering her with loads of attention and love- nothing from the norm really to be honest. I let her out in the morning and take her for a walk to make sure she has a bowel movement, and usually at least once a day I get her into the field too. She is 9 yrs old and I hate that I could be confusing her. Are there any other ways I can keep her active? Any games so that she doesnt get bored and still enjoys life? Thanks in advance..... A very loving but tired, mum to be.x

Someone told me it is okay to feed dog food to my cats--especially if they are outdoor cats. But I was told that it is not okay for dogs to eat cat food. Is this true? Why or why not?

I more mean his coat. It is not as fluffy as other pomeranians his age. I don't have him yet, since he is still with the breeder, but I have been comparing him to other ones the same age and pet quality like himself. He is 6+ weeks old in the pictures, and his coat is not nearly as poofy as other pommies at 6 weeks... Will his coat grow or will he end up being one of those poms with a short coat? His parents have nice coats but they looked way more thick as puppies.

Here is one of him at 6 weeks old:

Here are two of him at 6 weeks old and 5 days:

Thank you all for the help and opinions.
I will love him all the same, just curious.

I just got a female kitten and she isn't ready to mate yet. But my male cat who is about 1 years old is ready. He always letting out secretion on her back when he humps her. He holds her head in his mouth and holds her down. This is funny to me but it also confuses me because I feel like I can't do anything about it. He gets angry when I touch him during his approach with her and she fights him off. What should I do???

Does you cat lie across your arms while you're trying to type on the computer? She's so sweet, and needy, and I want her to know she's loved - but c'mon kitty - I'm making a lot of typos on account of you.

Why are some kitties soooo needy? (My other two aren't like that.)

I am almost 100% sure that my guppy is expecting fry. I don't know alot about the birth process, signs, and what to do afterwards. Every source I look at says something different than another source, and I am constantly torn and I don't know what to believe. Some people say the gravid spot is under the anal fin, some people say its above it. My guppy is orange in color (in case you need that information) and her stomach is starting to look very very big. She is also taking on a boxy shape from the front and isn't eating as much. Here is the link for a picture that similarily looks like her: http://guppyplace.tripod.com/preghby.jpg Her stage of pregnancy looks very similar to this one; body shape. I see the dark gravid spot on this picture, but I'm just not seeing it on my guppy. Anyways, my question is, do all pregnant guppies have distinctly visible gravid spots? Is my guppy pregnant with no gravid spot, or has it simply not appeared yet? If you're an experienced owner, please help!

UGH! Alright, I have a lab puppy that's almost 5 months old. She's driving us crazy! We understood what we were getting ourselves into when we decided to get a puppy but this is crazy. I read all the books and advice and watching all the shows about dogs and how to raise a puppy right - and I've done exactly what they've said. She still won't respect/listen to me! Last night, I caught her curled up on the nice couch that she's not allowd to be on (she knows this, she has her own couch in the back room she's allowed on). I Told her know and tried to get her down but she wouldn't budge. And When I did she'd show her teeth and snarl at me! This wasn't supposed to happen! She's house trained well but we're also having problems with chewing. She's chewed up two of our mats for the front of the garage door, chewed the end of a bookcase, AND I just found a huge hole she's been digging in the backyard. She eats things like grass, lizards, sticks, shells, and sand.

Can someone please help?!
