It's the weirdest thing, whenever I plug something in, or pick up a video game controller and he sees the cord move, my dog runs away in fear. He won't even step over them if one is lying on the ground. He's not a rescue dog, I've had him since he was six weeks old, so I know nothing happened to him in another household. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can help him overcome this fear?

My dog stays outside. He is a big brown choco lab and I would never trust him in the house. I keep him outside most of the time.
Tonite while watching Miami animal Police , they had a choco lab on there with heartworm which almost died. How do I prevent my dog from getting this? They said it came from mosquitoes.

I have seen discus in tanks in aquarium shops and they appear to be OK and yet I have always been told that they should be kept in species tanks.
My community tank is 4 ft and is fairly settled - angels. kissing gouramis, plecos etc.... and tetras. All up fairly peaceful. Would it be possible to add Discus (1 or 2) to this mix successfully

The tufts are underneath the eyes, just on top of the bridge of the nose. We suspect he might have Dachshund, Cocker Spaniel, or Shi Tsu in him. But I didn't think any of these breeds had strange little mustaches!

It's kind of cute, but is it normal?
Does that mean she's having a bad dream or is she semi-awake?

I picked my dog up 2 days ago from a boarding/training facility where he had been for 2 weeks. His energy and appetite were good the day we brought him home and the day after. This morning, I fed him before leaving for work, as usual. I always leave him a biscuit in his Kong before leaving. He did not eat the biscuit (a first) and he has had diarrhea all day. He did not eat dinner (also a first). Then he threw up this evening (another first). Is he just suffering stress after coming home? The trainer said that he may suffer from loss of energy and appetite, and changing from their food back to his regular food will cause the diarrhea, but he seems sick. Should I be concerned?

Most logical answer gets 10 points...--

Why do humans think it is down right gross and nasty when a person has sex with an animal (or different species), but people either find it funny or okay when, say, a rabbit humps a dog?

I already know why, but I want to see your answers.

I found a stray kitten last Friday. It was, and still is, very emaciated. My family is currently trying to nurse it back to health and the kitten is doing quite a bit better. We've had some disagreements on what we should name it.

We believe the kitten is a male (it's a bit hard to tell because there is no muscle back there and I'm not sure things are in the right place). It is a dark charcoal gray and has a very sweet personality.

So if you could please pick your top three favorite names and please no naming websites! If you want you could also give girl names in case we find out later that it really is a girl.

I had a dog show up at my house this morning, he is very well trained and wont leave the yard. We brought him in out of the heat and fed him. I have contacted all the shelters and vet clinics, placed and add with the local radio station, contacted the local law enforment agencies, and placed an email to the local campground dnr agent. If anyone knows anything else i can do to try to find the owners please let me know. Thankyou.

I'm not concerned about the well being of the bats.

A bat got into my house last night and after a few minutes of screaming ( yes, i know) I got my neighbor to get it out.

Is rabies a valid concern of mine? What other things do I have to be concerned with if those flying rodents get into my house again?
