my mom grew up riding western but decided to take english lessons for a while. we all fell in love with the horse she was taking lessons on and ended up buying him. he's a 15 year old 16hh Thoroughbred gelding. so, we bought a dressage saddle and english bridle and saddle pad. but we've ridden him western while he was still at his former owner's house ('cause he wouldn't get in the trailer). he's trained both ways and mom wants a western saddle for him. but we don't know how to measure for a western saddle. the lady we bought him from told us but we can't remember and mom hasn't talked to her for a long time. please! How do you measure a horse for a western saddle?

hi, yesterday my son won a goldfish and small (2ltre) tank ...today we have been and bought a 43 ltre aquarium with built in filter system and air pump, which my husband has always wanted.. we have set it up and has been with water since early afternoon.. how soon can we introduce goldfish to its new home? i have partially cleaned out its small tank as its looking murky and i am aware of amonia, which i cant see, since doing this the fish has started swimming as though it is agitated and frequently rises to surface as thouhg sucking at air.. can anyone give me any sensible advice as what to do short term? i really dont want to lose this fish, my son has already given it a name..'chocolate cake' (hes only 2) thankyou in advance

My daughter got a pug for her b-day I paid 250.00 and ger dad paid 250.00. Her dad wants to breed the male pug to make money I say it should be given to my daughter for college fund etc. He thinks he should get some money for the investment he made to buy the puppy! What do you think?

I put a small tank in my baby's room to use as a nightlight and for entertainment. I think the light might be in the room for this, but we'll see. Anyway, will the constant light (daylight and then tank light) bother the fish? Do they need some dark for rest or anything? Also, I keep a CD Player on at night to play lullaby music for the baby. It is fairly quiet, but the only space for it is right by the tank. Will the noise bother the fish? There's just a couple of tiny fish in there, but I do care about their feelings and general well being!

I am "happy" about pickin my dogs poo up when it fouls on the pavement as i believe it allows to keep the community a nice clean place, but it aggrovates me that horse riders dont pick there horses HUGE mounds of poo up that cover he road for metres.

A fine (althoug patheticaly enforced) is in place for dog fouling... should there not be one for horse fouling)

My sons 7 and 10 really want a dog. I love dogs too but not sure if i should get one. Everyone says that they are a tie. I think it would be great for my youngest especially. I don't mind the walking even in bad weather. I just don't want to rush into it. What do you think. And if I do, what type of dog shall I get? Thanks in advance.

Shes my best friend, i love her more then anything but, my mom is having a baby soon. One, my cat hates babies and attacks them. Two, she is REALLY furry and i would have to keep her in my room all the time so she doesnt get fur all over the house and the baby chokes on it. So should i keep her in my room all the time, or should i give her away? How would I find a place to give her where i know she would be taken care of? I have no friends to give her too, i just moved across the country.

I set it to about 80 last night, and then i went to check on the tank and my tank was 85! Someone I know has a heater that turns on for a certin temperture and then when that temp. is reached, it shuts off. Should I consider that type of heater? Because mine never shuts off unless I put it at a really low temp.

I once heard that carrots were a good treat for dogs, especially breeds prone to being overweight. Are there any treats out there like this?

Is the cat just scent-marking you or did it actually miss you?

Well everyone..my barrel horse is crippled. His stifle was so injured that the vet would not even do surgery. Plus, come to find out he is closer to 20 yrs old then 10 yrs old as I was told. Nope, I don't have papers on him and I can't tell age by looking at teeth, I didn't really care, he was a good horse! He can be ridden but only at a walk. Absolutly on trotting or running. I have been in a bad mood but I made a very hard desion for him. He is going to a friend that wants him to be his yard decoration. He will be loved and cared for untill he dies.

Thank you all that gave me great ideas to rehab him but it just won't for him.

I know this is not a question but I promised that I would update everyone.

I have a 3 yo sheltie. Everytime we leave the house, he tries to stop us by barking and wanting to follow. Immediately after we are gone, he charges straight to the trash bin in the kitchen and knocks it over, throwing all the trash in the kitchen. I wld always take the bin and put it up on the sink and at times i forgot.

I cannot leave food on the kitchen counter. He wld take it down and eats it with my other old dog. I hv occassionally lost a few pounds of meat, loaves of bread etc, left on the counter to thaw and leftovers which i left to cool before i put in the refrigerator.

He really gets on my nerves and i am losing my patience. My husband wld get upset with me for losing my patience but not with the dog. He said he is normal.

Please tell me if you have any suggestion.

I took my dogs for a walk last week. One is a pure breed show dog. He is intact for breeding purposes. My dogs were on leash. He was peeing on a fence, when I was getting the other dog to the side of the road, as a car was coming. I turned to look at the other and he was mounted on an unleashed female. Long story short I was unable to get him off of her before they consumated the act. The lady who owns the dog freaked out. She started yelling so that all the neighbors came out. She claims I have no right walking my dog if he is intact. (She also claims that pit bulls will attack me if I walk him-- I believe she is a sick lady). I believe she was in the wrong for letting an intact female roam loose. Who is in the wrong here?
