Pets - 28 October 2007

While at the store on Saturday, I spotted an extremely cute puppy running aimlessly around the parking lot.... couldn't be more than 2 and a half months old.... looks exactly like a black lab, he ran up to me and I immediately put him in my car.
Now, with my career, I do not have the time to take care of a dog but I was a little concerned about this lil boy.
At first, I thought the puppy was a female b/c of the enormous, protruding belly that it had, thinking that it was pregnant, but It's a male and I am a little concerned because, seriously, the belly is about as wide as the puppy is longways.
Like I said, this baby looks exactly like a lab puppy.
Anyone know what could possibly be wrong with this puppy?
Today, I thought it would go down (thinking he ate too much) but his stomach looks exactly the same.
Worms maybe?
Let me know what you think before I take him to the vet tomorrow morning.
Thanks.
(btw, I'm not planning on keeping him, I'm just concerned for its well being)

Bindi was in her first shows this weekend. Didn't go great, but went really well considering we've never done this before. I've never even seen a dog show other than on t.v.

We have a few things to work on yet, one is her expression, getting her to perk her ears up when we come back to the judge after gaiting. I tried bait, and a squeaky toy this weekend. She ignored those in the ring, but didn't outside of it. The last time we showed I think the judge may have had something to do with it, Bindi didn't care for that one for some reason. The other 3 didn't bother her, but something about this judge just didn't fly with Bindi. We'll avoid showing under that judge for awhile.

Anyway what has everyone else used in the ring to help? I thought about using a duck call, but figured it would be a tad bit to loud for the ring.

Thanks in advance.

(How does he know I had been reported before unless he had a hand in it? nice person? I don't think so)

Subject: Reported...

Message: "Buy it, shoot him in the foot then shoot yourself in yours then you will both have some idea of how cruel you are being. When recovered try going vegetarian and having clean hands if not a clear conscience for a change."

This answer is a clear violation of Yahoo Guidelines, but you knew that already, didn't you? Well, you have been reported and hopefully you will get removed again.

You know, I personally think vagitarians/vegitarians are poor misguided fools, but I don't go answering "Vegitarian recipie" questions telling people so....that is just not polite.

You answer advocates violence, period. I know you were making a point but do it somewhere else please, not in the Hunting section.

I have an Arabian mare that is excellent at the trot, extends and keeps her head on the vertical, but when it comes to the canter, she goes behind the bit, and off the vertical. I use a kimberwick with a low port... I wont use snaffles because she pulls and practically takes the reins out of my hands. Tips please!

What has your dog ownership taught you? Have you learned any valuable lessons?

I added 6 pounds of live rock to my 10 gallon saltwater yesterday. After placing the rocks, I noticed an anemone spring out a couple of hours later. Today I noticed a worm of some sorts about 2 inches long. And tonight I went in and cut the lights on after it had been dark for a while and noticed 2 black legs sticking out and moving out of a crevice in one of the rocks. After seeing me or the light, it quickly pulled itself back into the rock. Any clue of what this might be? I am new to this. Also, what else can I possibly expect to come out of just the live rock alone?

His blood work came out wonderful, but his chest xrays indicate that he has a mass. The vet thinks its probably cancer, but I've also been treating him for an infection. He's been eating like a horse but he has a bad cough that hasn't improved in the past three days of treatment. I won't put him thru chemo, but is there anything else I can be doing for him?

just a couple of minutes ago i found lots of baby fish hiding out behind a rock behind my pleco's spot. they looked about maybe 1-3 days old.in my tank i have dalmation mollies, balloon mollies, zebra danios , and one plecostomus(dark brown and spotted like a leopard. spots are more vivid when frightened what species is this pleco?). i know these babies are dalmation mollies, but two of the babies look much darker, almost black, and something that looks like stripes or either spots and they dont swim well at the top. they swim more towards the bottom of the breeding tank. (i moved them so the other fish dont eat them) is this possibly a baby pleco? or jsut an unhealthy molly? they are the same size as the other baby fish.
i need help ! can someone give me a picture of a baby pleco thats less than a week old ?
