I am considering wearing shorts because its the summer but I do not know if it will hurt if I wear shorts. I was told to wear jeans but the only type of jeans I have are Levis 501's and I wear my jeans kinda tight plus the denim on them are now quite soft because they are well worn. Should I go with shorts or Levis or just wear trackie bottoms?

My dog has black/purple spots on its tongue. My mom use to tell me that the spots meant that she (the dog) was a Chow Mix. But my friend told me that it means that the dog is Pure Breed. Whoes Right & Whoes Wrong???

Ok fellow fish people =) I have a 29 gallon aquarium that I enjoy alot.
So a friend bought me a 10 gallon aquarium for my home office,however,I am lost as to what type of freshwater tropical might realistically be happy in a 10 gallon,and how many?
I set up the aquarium Wednesday,and the filter and heater have been running since then.I believe it would be ok this weekend to get a fish or 2.
So any suggestions on what type of fish would be happy in a 10 gallon?and how many of said fish?

[panics] mk, i just got home n my mother proudly presented me with my fish tank, that she'd just cleaned thouroughly...completely. there wasnt a speck of dirt anywhere. all the gravels been thouroughly cleaned, the plants have been cleaned, the tank has been cleaned, and it has completely new water. 100% of it. aside from that, she decided the filter was getting smelly and cleaned it with eucalyptus oil. thankfully she hasnt re-installed it in my tank, and shes left my fish outta the tank so far cause she thought i might wanna reintroduce them to the tank. im freaking out though...last time i did a thourough clean like that 1 of my fishes died...i dont want the others to die! is it bad to introduce them into such a shockingly clean tank with no bacteria etc? and will the filter kill them? (even though i rinsed and scrubbed at it to try and get rid of euc. oil traces)...what should i do? my poor fish are sitting in a container waiting for their new home, but will it kill them?

I just got a pit bull/golden retriever mix puppy. She is about three months old. I couldn't ask for a better puppy really. We've already been able to house train her and teach her to sit, half the time she will shake. She is so sweet and just tons of fun. But the fact that she is suppose to be part Pit Bull kind of scares me. All I hear are bad things about Pit Bulls. Is there anything I can do over the years to help teach her so she doesn't gain the bad traits of Pit Bulls? Also has anyone ever had a pit bull/golden retriever mix before or have pictures of one?

I adopted him from the pound a year ago and they said he was chihuahua/shiba inu mix but he weighs over 15 lbs. and that seems big for a chihuahua. He has a curly tail and a wrinkly forehead and he makes weird sounds and hardly ever barks like a Basenji so now I'm not sure what he is! Here are some pictures:

I come on here to try to help people train their horse in a safe manner.
There are legitimate horse training questions, questions that are great opportunities for the riders to learn more.

Yet the answers are almost always the same -
"Get a Tie Down."
"Get a Martingale."

What the heck, guys?? There IS such a thing as learning to train your horse WITHOUT the use of harmful "gadgets"!! Good, classical, patient training and riding will do the best for your horse, not gadgets!!!

Is anyone else scared of these novice horse-people being given such incorrect answers?

Does anyone else think that a "tiedown" is harmful and dangerous to both horse and rider??

More importantly, in the few events that a tiedown SHOULD be used, does anyone else think it should be reserved for qualified trainers??

His name is Dumbledore-Donut and he is our favourite fish ever. He lives with 3 African Cichlids two Plecos and an albino cory in a 30 gal tank. Don't worry, I am switching him to a larger tank when he comes of age/size. We have never had a fish that more closely resembles a shark than this. We really want to make sure we do the right thing because, more than a dog or a cat, we care about this him.

I was walking along the Champs in Paris a little over a year ago, and this big dog came pouncing up towards me- as large, if not larger than a German shepherd, but fluffy and white, kind of like a poodle or a bichon. It was very friendly. Unforunately, I did not ask the owner what kind of dog this was. Does anybody have an idea? I don't think it was a standard poodle, as I have checked on google, and the dog I saw was much bigger than the measurements for a full size.

A chocolate chip starfish I've had for about 6 months suddenly isn't eating much/at all.

I usually give him krill squid or homemade frozen food but lately every time I put it under him he lets it go, and the other fish start eating it. I did add a blue linka starfish about a day before the chocolate chip stopped eating, but after crawling all over each other a bit, they pretty much ignore each other. (no dont warn me about the evils of ccs this one eats as much algae as meat, and ignores the snails, crabs, other slow moving inverts and the corals, theres an oddball in every species.

Anybody have any ideas why, or what can be done?

when I took my kids to the fair today we went to see the animals at the FFA Childerens barn and there was a calf that was about 2 weeks old, (according to the paper above that had the calves name and the owners name) they had solid food for him and water, is a 2 week old calf even old enough to be eating solid food? Should'nt he still be drinking his moms milk? The poor thing looked so thin.

My male chihuahua is not fixed and the friend whom gave him to me a year ago is going to give me his sister from another litter.
They both share the same parents, so far she refuses his advancements, thank goodness, but what if he succeeds?
how bad is this.....?
I obviously want to prevent this.
How can i stop him from trying to mate with his sister?
Won't he try to mate with her, even if i get him neutered?

I just got a new tank, and its salt water. It has nothing alive in it but 2 pieces of live rock. Its set up on a sump filter and has not been cycled. I got a new test kit and everything looked fine so it was recomended to me that i get a fish to begin the cycling process. I got a blue damsel. He later died and i realized that i had read my tank results wrong. Th pH was around 8.2, the salt water ammonia was a 0, nitrates where around 10 and the nitrtates wher at 1.0 ppm. I know that is high, how can i get them down and why is it that hight?

I was in the car and I saw a really cute dog across the road. It has ears pointed up on top of its head and it had a longish tail. It was white and fluffy and has a fluffy stomach. It's a medium sized dog. It had round black eyes and a medium snout. I don't think it's a samoyed, retriever or collie but it's really cute. Please help me find out what it is. I hope these descriptons are helpful!
