Is any dog breed is known for having Oranges? The reason I ask this is I have a mix breed dog, and maybe his eye color would help find what breed he has in him. People say he looks German Shepherd, Chow, and Akita. Do any of these breeds have or are known to have Ornage eyes? Or does any other breed? Please andThank you.

I have owned dogs for four decades and have noticed a significant difference in the way they respond to the same proportion of ...experience, pain-wise...than a human would. do they have fewer nerve endings per square inch? do they have less sensitive nerves? is it the fur barrier? very very curious about this. Thanks to whomever can answer...I LOVE MY DOG!!!

If other dog breeds attack humans just as frequently as the pit bull terrier, for what reasons would the media project such a negative portrayal of them?

We got him when he was about 2 months old, and he is 4 1/2 months old now. He IS an outdoor/indoor cat. He playes outside for about 2-3 hours a day. Ever since we got him, we've been giving him a bath EVERY saturday. The first time, he about killed me, but he had TONS of fleas because I found him in a box and he just didn't smell pretty. Then after that, I bathed him the next week and he LOVED it. He's loved it ever since then. He just sits there and sometimes even purrs while im massaging the soap into him. (We bathe him in a really clean sink). He just enjoys the bath so much.. I put 2 towels in the dryer so they will be nice and warm for him afterwards (and he REALLY looks forward to that part!).

Is it too much though? I heard it dries out the skin and they clean themselves, but I just can't imagine not giving him a bath every week. He is SO soft and smells good all the time. He still licks himself some.

I'm just trying to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong?

Responses?

i've noticed bugs on my cat's neck (probably other places as well, but that was the only place i saw since it's hard to get her to sit still) in the past few days but she doesn't seem to be too bothered by them. she's an indoor cat but we have 2 outdoor cats as well, which also don't seem to be bothered.
ths bugs are black and not too big, but much different than pictures i've seen of fleas and larger.
so, should i be worried? if they aren't fleas.. then what am i supposed to do?
if they aren't fleas, what else could they be? just some random bug that has decided to nest in my cat's fur?
if so, what can i do?

I had two percula clownfish for a year and a half. They died suddenly a few weeks ago. I noticed the smaller fish one morning swimming rapidly sideways with a whitish face and he died minutes later. I tried to feed him before he died but he wouldn't eat. He was heading towards the filter so I shut it off so he wouldn't be sucked up. After he died, I promptly removed the dead fish and the other one seemed fine. I was very distraught over the fish dying, so I forgot to turn the filter back on. The next morning, the other fish still seemed ok so I turned the filter back on. He immediately began acting as the other fish had before he died, and was also soon dead within minutes. What could have caused this? I'm confused because I had them for quite a while with no problems whatsoever, they seemed to be very happy and active when they were alive. I want to know because I'm thinking of replacing them but am hesitant to because I'm not sure what went wrong.

I bought 1 male and 3 female black mollies from my local fish store in hope of breeding them. I told that to the owners of the shop and they gave me 2 babies to get me started. I also got a breeding net. The questions that i want to ask are

1-If my fry are roughly 1 cm long, how old are they

2-how many fry can 1 molly have(2 of the 3 seem to be pregnant)

3-Is it the right thing to put the fry in a breeding net/box (when i didn't have a breeding net and my fish had babies, they all got eaten)

If you could answer this it would be a big help.

Thanks!

My passion in life is dogs... I recently graduated from college but my heart is not in what I do. I'd love to have a career that involves working with dogs, but I also need pay! (otherwise I'd just volunteer) Are there any decent paying careers out there focused on dogs?

Ok, to break it down a bit, my older dog, Sam, well he's become very grumpy as he's gotten older. Him and my younger dog, Bentley, can't even be in the same room together without growling at one another. Sam usually starts it, but Bentley instigates it a bit. Anyway, it's worse if my mom and I are in the room. Sam is definitely a "ladies dog." And Bentley, well it doesn't seem to matter HOW much we walk him, he still pees randomly around the house. It's like he saves pee for when he comes inside. He's been known to pee almost as soon as he comes in. We've thought about getting them fixed, but my mom's husband thinks they're too old to be fixed. We guess that Sam i probably at the very least, 9 years old, and Bentley is about 4.

Anyway, answers to any of my questions would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks!

Im 15 years old and im in a place in life where every one is asking me what i want to do with my life. I know im young and i want to look at my options. For past years i have had no idea what i wanted to be. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs/puppies, and ive wanted to own a dog since i was 1 (my first word was doggy not daddy haha) but there was always something standing in my way, my parents. they love animals, but they just dont think that i can take the responsability, which i know i can.

So few days ago i step into a petstore and i look at the puppies, as usual, but this time i felt something, like something special. I really want to work with pets :)

I have seen ads for this machine, which is large and I don't like that about it, but if it is as effective as it claims to be, it would be worth the space it would take up. Does anyone own this expensive litter container and if so, what is your opinion of its operation and cost to buy, vs the overall cost savings?

I have used the Litter Maid unit and after about a year it didn't work anymore (about $179). I now use the Petmate (about $159) which is also electric, not as loud as Litter Maid, but wastes more litter when shoveling into the receptacle (it shoves good litter into it). Both were effective, but required emptying the receptacle and buying more litter; not a fun thing to do, but better than standard litter boxes (about $25).

Any comments would be appreciated.

I already had my one year old female cat, Evie when I got Nala (11 weeks) from the local shelter. It's been 3 days since I got Nala and she's adjusting very well. Evie was a little upset at first but seems to be getting used to the little kitten. At night and when I've been at work, I keep Nala in my bedroom with her own litter and food/water, and let Evie have the rest of the apartment. I have to leave Tuesday at 7am-Thursday Afternoon, is it okay to leave a new kitten of that age alone, should I worry about her eating her food and generally being okay? I hope this doesn't sound too silly, but I'm just hoping someone has some feedback!

-He's about 4 1/2 months old. We got him when he was about 2 months old, I found him in a box with another kitten ontop of a garbage can.
-He runs around the house making "chewbacca" noises, as we like to call it.
-He runs outside when we open the backdoor then shut the screen door and he sits and meows by it until we open it to let him in, then runs off again.
-If you walk in a room past him he will run and wrap his front legs around your legs.
-He will get really comfy on your lap and start to close his eyes then suddenly jumps off.
-When he sleeps with my sister or me, he ONLY purrs when he is on the top bunk.
-In the morning he wakes us up by purring and licking every inch of your face/neck and does that little curling thing with his paws and if you try to cover yourself with a blanket he pushes til he finds a spot to lick.
-He DIGS his head into a spot in you (like an armpit, or your neck) til he gets comfy.
-He will be very vicious and bite you, then start licking you.

He's a medium sized Dalmation mix. Approx. 50-60ish lbs. One year and three months old. I have a feeling like I'm underfeeding him, but I'm not sure if he's just eating because the food is in from of him...

I am not sure wheather or not to purchase a male or female. I have heard a few different things.
If anyone can help me out with any tips on training that would be great as I will be using this dog for hunting game.
I also have a 12 month old. As this is a sniffer dog and not aggressive, will the GSP still make a good family pet.
Cheers Brett
