When you adopt a dog from a shelter it is hard to know what kind of personality they will have or how they will fit into your lifestyle.
I recently adopted a pomeranian cross who was taken to me immediatley so I had to have her. Unfortunalty there are two other adults in the house that are supposed to care for her but she does not like them. One of them actually stays home all day and does the feeding etc, so the theory of the others doing more doesnt work. My dog is also like Dr jeckal/Mr hyde as one time she will be nice to them while another time she will growl.
This was supposed to be a family dog and the shelter told us she was well behaved. Now i dont know what to do. I dont think i can afford a behaviourist but have already read and tried some teqniques without success.

I dont have the gravel or anything yet, but i have the tank and filter and hood! i want to start the cycling process now!
should I only fill it like 3/4 of the way? and do I have to turn the filter on for this to work!

if i want to put gravel from another tank can i wash it off first? and how much do I need per gallon? I can get some from petsmart where i work!

He is only 6 years old and has been on steroids for arthritis for a couple years. he is acting restless like he did before from the arthritis, but had been vomitting slimey stuff and has had very dark slimey diarrhea since yesterday afternoon. is the vomitting and diarrhea anything to do with the steroid or a twisted stomache maybe? I hope not. He is a 6 year old cocker with no history of twisted stomache, but his lower half of his back and down is very hard like tight muscles.

Should we just kill millions of sharks just cuz they kill 10 a year? WE are the ones invading the territory, so why are we killing them? Do you think that we should? Why so when you answer say yes or no, even maybe and WHY!!!!

What I really need to know from someone that has experience with this particular fish is how often do I have to feed it? He's already about 14 inches long and I prefer to feed him shrimp or goldfish. If I feed him until he doesn't want anymore, do I feed him again the next day, or should I feed him until he's full every other day? He's now eating 4 goldfish at feeding time once a day.

I really need some advice from someone who's not guessing but has experience.

We just got a 4 year old male yorkie, when we got him we thought he was just dirty but we now see his skin is flaking bad!
We have given him a bath and read that conditioner can be good for his skin and coat.
I have 2 questions..
1. What can cause such bad flaky skin in yorkies?
2. Has anyone tried using conditioner for skin and coat??
Thanks, Mel

My dog Whiskey licks all the time, and licking is a sign of dominance, but she is very submissive and doesn't show an inch of trying to be alpha, what could this mean?

OK,I have had snuggles going on a month.He was sickly when I rescued him but Within 2 weeks, he had gained 5 pounds and was given a clean bill of health. He thru up his morning food.I figured he just engulfed as usual but This time vomited.Well,He has done nothing but Loaf around all day,ears outward,head down,sad looking.About 2 hours ago he spat up a hairball.And I found a little bit of spittle.Still not worried at that point because i have rescued animals for over 15 years.But I noticed about 30 minutes ago that snuggles has shallow ,rampid breathing.Very Shallow.He is still purrring.But That does not mean he isn;t sick. I cant get him to a Vet till Morning.I am not sure if he is just under the weather as we all can get(including our 4 legged kids),and the breathing is from being nauseated,or from vomited a hairball and his tummy is sore..Im just looking for any kinda answer.Ijust dont want to lose him over nite.Any ideas?

I have a 8 year old female dalmatian. And was fine until today when she vomited this morning. My wife told me that through out the day she has been sick twice more and now looks weak, and will not eat. She will only sips on her water. She keeps on vomiting a yellow bile (looks like uncooked egg yolks). Every vet mag. says I should wait 24 hours and only give her water. But now she has started to breath heavily. Should I rush her to the vet or wait till morning to see if her condition has changed?? Please anybody help!!!

I used to have a Golden Ret. that would freak out wheneverI left her, but I heard that was common for her breed. Now I have a kitten that follows me around the house and crys when I leave. If I set somewhere he has to be in my lap, and if I get up he follows me and then plops down again wherever I go. Even when I go to the bathroom he has to be in my lap.

Do my pets think I am their mommies?

What would cause green snot to come out of your 3 month old pup's nose?

It only came running during his second trip in the car(he loves car rides) and quit the rest of the day and night.
