My son and I adopted a beautiful unique mix from a Program out in Vegas called "Adopt a Rescue Pet." She looks to have some chow, but her face looks like a Golden retreiver.. Anyway, we fell in love, and brought her home. She has had all over her vaccinations, and has been dewormed, spayed, and microchiped. She is 3 years old, and was abandoned along with her life long companion doggy, that was also adopted out yesterday. Once her "friend" was taken out of his kennel, I was told that she stayed in the corner, and looked depressed. She is now extremely nervous, looks just so sad. She hides as much as she cans, and didn't eat or drink anything after bringing her home yesterday. She did go out for a walk today, and finally drank something. But she doesn't seem to want anything to do with us. She doesn't run away from us, but she just looks completely bummed. Does anyone have any suggestions. I know shes been through a lot, I just want to do the best we can to help!! Thanks!

It sounds like a tiny horse. No recording can compare to it though. I already checked out the Eastern Screech Owl and it wasn't it. I am in NY. Can someone tell me what this is? It is so spooky! And I heard two of them communicating. Sounds almost like a whinnying horse!

(I'm not sure if this is the right category though...)

It's staying under this water oxygen thing and it won't eat. I got him today and I've been putting in tons of puffer fish food and the other fish is eating all of it but the sick one won't do anything. It's a freshwater fish.

My husband and I both work in the day time, I let the puppy out in the morning, but we both work 12 hours shift, and can't exactly let our 3lb Shih Tsu out in the yard without supervision, since there's an owl near by. Do you think we still train him to housebroken or do you train him to do his business on the papper mat?

I volunteer at the shelter 2-3 days per week, and I've made it my goal to take some of the more hyper, exciteable dogs out to the play yard and let them have some "free-running" time. This helps them learn to socialize with humans, and it also helps them burn off the excess energy that gets built up living in such close quarters.

The problem is, when we get out to the yard, we have no toys for them to play with. I don't mean the expensive kind of dog toys. I mean, we don't even have tennis balls to throw for them. NOTHING. The shelter is so over-wrought, all the funding and donations go for the basics... food, water, medical care, staffing... there's no $$ for "extras" like toys.

I need some ideas for getting toys donated, or at a great discount, so the dogs can at least have something to fetch. Right now, all they have are rocks! I need names of charities to contact, even those philanthropists who give small sums to charities. Anything you can think of. Thanks!

I have adopted a dog from the shelter. Smart, beautiful dog. She is crate trained, and holds until morning, then will go outside. I let her out after every meal, every morning and after drinking water. I spend about 1/2 hour each time and usually don't come in until she urinates, and yet she pees on the rug. She doesn't bark, or "tell" us in any discernable way she has to go out. I have caught her three times, said no harshly, and let her out on the deck until I clean it up. I praise her so over the top when she goes outside that my husband makes fun of me. Any suggestions?

My faimily has a puppy that is about 5 months old. Since about 2 weeks ago he has started going poop on all of our couchs sometimes multiple times a day. It is very gross and our other dog doesn't do it. We let our dogs out all day and he goes bathroom outside too. Also lately he has tried peeing on the couch. Why is he doing this and how do we stop him?

I am a newbie with a 50 gallon salt-water tank and will purchase 2 clown fish soon. I would like to add some artificial decor, plants and/or coral for my fish so they are happy fish! I have a large rock with lots of tunnels in the tank now -- I'm just looking to add some color and favorite 'hang out' spots for my new clown fish...a happy fish is a healthy fish! Being a newbie I would like to stay away from live coral and plants until I'm more experienced.

He is a 50cm baramundi in a six foot tank and is swimming upside down with cotton looking stuff hanging off of him; even on his eyes. How do i know exactly what is wrong with him and what do i do to cure him before he dies. I put salt and a fungal treatment in the tank but is there anything else i can do he looks ready to die.

So I took my puppy to the park for the first time and I was excited. Hes about 12weeks old. Since He was left along the side of the road, we have had since he was bout 5days old and now I love him more than anything. Hes happy and healthy and getting big!

well hes only bout 3-5lbs but hes big to me. since he was found we are unsure what he is....the vet told us she "thinks" pit bull, and plenty of other people say pit bull...but we are not for sure.

so while I was at the park people asked "aww what kind of dog is he?" and so my answer was "we think pit bull" and then they got a disgusted face and told their kids to leave! I was soo upset! The same thing happened at petsmart...people just judge him! hes 3lbs what is he going to do besides lick you to death....I was hurt....

anybody else go through this?

In the tank now I have 2 glow tetras, 3 black skirt tetras, 2 blue darwf gouramis, chinese alage eater, and a giant danio. And dont give me crap about so many fish in small tank people. These fish have been together for 4 months and are very happy. Saw the crab over the weekend and want to add him for something different. Oh yea and be nice or I will just add bleach and start over people!

I think he can open the back door and also differentiate between the TOMATO tin being opened and the TUNA tin. Does this make him as smart as a dog?

I'm new to the salt water tank world and was wanting to know if adding live marine plants to a FOWLR tank is a good idea?
The tank is doing great! The cycle is moving along. The nitrate/nitrite, amonia, pH, etc. are within normal range. Right now a yellow tang, a blenny, 3 damsels, and 10 tiny hermit crabs are residing in a 65 gallon tank. I know fish will like to eat the plants, but with they eat them faster then they can grow? Do plants harm the FOWLR tank?

OK!!!! NOW!!!! We have a cat and he has been overweight since he was like a year old. He's 15 now and I'm wondering what would cause a cat to be that big? He is perfectly healthy. Alot of people tell me it's genetics and some cats are meant to be that big. Anyone ever heard of that? We feed him half a cup a day and it's been like that for years but he doesn't lose weight. We have a big pool area and he plays out there and chases things around but he doesn't lose weight. But he's HEALTHY. I don't get it.
