I have a 3 month old kitten and he's always jumping around, bitting, scratching and never wants to be held. Will he ever stop being like that?

This racoon keeps getting into my house, into my alcohol cabinet and drinking my freakin rum! its the third time it has happened! I dont know how it gets into the house, and it always goes for the rum!
Today it was passed out in the backyard... i got the hose and sprayed it and it drunkly crawled away...
and just 5 minutes ago I saw it running across my yard so it must be sobering up by now...
anyone have a similar problem with drunken racoons???

On very rainy or very windy days I have to stay in the house with my puppy (7 months, lab). He and I are always bored together and we end up watching TV or sleeping. What can I do to make him less bored? I always take him for a daily 1 hour walk at the same time. At around the same time I'm suppose to take him for a walk, he get excited and hyper. But I can't take him out because its really windy or pouring outside. He ends up bothering the whole family. Should I take him outside anyways, despite the weather, or stay inside? (On very windy days, I'm allergic to the dust being blown around.)

My chihuahua seems to be unbalanced...when he's just sitting there his head sways back and fourth and then he starts to tip over. He doesn't do it all the time. One day he will...and then he'll go a while, like days, without doing it again. He seems very sad...I don't know what to do? Anybody have any clues on what i should do..or what's going on?

I found a box turtle crossing the road last month and brought her home for a pet. She has a 100 gallon terrarium with all the fixings of home. She is eating well, we give her plenty of crickets, mealworms, snails and an array of fruits and veggies. The only problem is that she is insatiable. Is it possible to overfeed? How much should she eat and how often?

I really like the oranda goldfish, and, I found out that they have one at my Petco! They are SO cute, but, before getting one, I have a few questions:

1. Are they easy to care for?

2. What kind of tank will one require?

3. Do you recommend any books or links?

Thanks for all of your help! Thanks again, and, 10 POINTS are given in the end! THANKS!

He is 12 and a German Shephard, he whines alot, almost constant whining, moaning and groaning and just looks sad, he paces and seems really restless.... he just isnt himself but I cant find anything wrong with him. No fever, no places that he dont want touched, still eating & drinking etc. He has me worried and I have tried to think of different things that could be bothering him

Only thing different is that my boyfriend of 12 yrs has been out of town working for 2 weeks which is unusual... think this could have anything to do with it?

we recently purchased a few brood mares and found that the line of breeding is no longer of value- the trends have changed. the breeding was very valuable in the 80's and 90's. the breeding is the Doc Bar line. the papers and lines are awesome and can be traced back to the foundation horses of the Poko Bueno, O'Leno and Doc Bar lines. people are spening lots of money on the newer breeding but not the old foundation lines. does anyone know why? any comments?

The horse I ride (and will be buying) has a weird personality problem...(well at least I think it's weird)
Whenever I'm riding with one or more people in the arena or out on a trail, she gives me an attitude problem; is slow about getting into a trot, flicks her tail when she starts to trot, moves off the wall when she trots, and won't respond to any hand or leg commands.

Yet when I am riding by myself in the arena (not on a trial lol...not that brave lol) she listens to me great. She never gives me an attitude (well an occasional tail flick when she starts to trot, but that's it).

Is that something normal for her? None of the other horses have that trouble? Could it be because of the other horses in the arena? Even if there's just a person in the arena, she gives me a hard time...but if I am completely alone, then she's perfect.

My friend has to move back to his country and can't take his german sheppard with him. Her name is Tina, she is a female dog. She is vaccinated for the next two years and it's pretty low maintenance. He is selling it to me for 400 dollars canadaian. Should I take it? Just to add, she is a bit overexcited when it comes to new people, and hard to control.

I am on my 3rd air pump. They all run for about 2-3 months and then suddenly stop producing bubbles. I have switched out the bubble stones and it doesn't help.

So my question is "Do I really need an air pump?". I have real plants in my tank and a filter. It's a 100 gallon tank.

Secondly, any idea why this is happening? I love the look of the bubbles, but this is getting to be a pain. Thanks!

My red ear sliders have been eating the small gravel at the bottom of there tank lately and I recently found out that this can cause death so I obviously want to remove it fast. So when I do, what is a good thing to put in instead? I've heard that you can have nothing at the bottom because it will make the tank easier to clean but then I heard that they need some type or rocks or something at the bottom. Is there something that is good for red ear sliders to have?
Please only answer this if you have experience.
