My lhasa is 2 years old and still not really housetrained. I live in the city so it is not easy to train her. I can't go home during the day becuase home is too far from work. I can't afford to have someone come walk her or take her to a sitter. She eats puppy litter and chews up potty pads. Any idea on how to get her used to going on a potty pad and not eating it? I'm just really looking for advice on how she should be contained while I'm gone for so long. Should I put her in a kennel or is that too long? Should she have run of the house? (she does now and has never been confined before) Please help!

ok this is the situation:

Say you rescued a puppy from a very high kill and overcrowded shelter. they didn't check references or anything.

Then say the puppy was too much for the person who rescued it, even though that person did do alot of puppy researching prior. Say the person was just overwhelmed..

and suddenly an opportunity came up to give the puppy to a perfect home: a veterinarian looking for a puppy at the same time.

so you arrange for her to meet the puppy at a park, no plans on giving the puppy, just to see what happened. The vet falls in love, wants the puppy right then you still overwhelmed agree.

Then your kids are heartbroken and your husband is mad at you even tho you discussed giving the puppy up with them prior to this.

The vet does not want to give puppy back. And you are feeling like a terrible person.What would you do????!!

She's about 6-8 weeks old. I found her in my driveway. She has been examined briefly by a pet store employee and seems in okay health and I'll be taking her to the vet soon. In the meantime, she fiercely attacks me and anyone who comes over as they walk by, sit down, anything. I am covered in scratches on my legs, ankles, and arms. I have never raised a kitten by myself. Is this normal? Will it stop? When? Please help me, any advise on this and other new kitten topics will be greatly appreciated.

I have found a cat that i want to adopt..I have only owned female cats and i have a few questions. The adoption place said that the cat is older and is neutered. My BIGGEST concern about a male cat is him spraying in my house. This cat is a bigger cat and they said he is very lovable and loves to just hang out all day..
In the neighborhood there is a stray cat that comes around our house. Now this cat has been in our house last month while it was raining. But since then we havent had this cat in our home. He lingers around our house and our neighbors homes obviously looking for some food.
the cat i want to adpot can only be kept inside due to FIV
Is this going to be a problem? Will this trigger the cat i want to bring home to spray?

Ok, my cat had a litter before in July (all 5 kittens died due to lack of milk). She got pregent(PLEASE DO NOT MOAN ABOUT GETTING MY CAT SPAYED ! ) again and she had 5 kittens last night. We went up today and found that one had died. Is this a good thing because if she couldn't handle 5 kittens last time, she will have a better chance with four ? I'm not saying I wanted the kitten dead but I think it is better chance for her other kittens.

Well last week I got a 12 week old female kitten. She's playful, happy etc..
Well yesterday we got an 8 week old male kitten as a play mate. She hisses at him,
he hides and well I think its because I am always holding the little guy because he is so scared,
I still pet her and play with her but I think she is just so jealous of him! What can I do??
I tried letting her next to him but she just hisses at him. He wants to get next to her and say Hi and
smell her but she just wont allow it. maybe give it a few days? What can I do though, to try and get them to bond?

One of my two fish is bullying the other. I never see it eat, it spends it's whole time in the corner behind the filter. It can swim and everything, but every time it ventures out the other one chases it furiously.

It has 3 black spots, which I think is stress related. The water temperature is fine, as are the levels of nitrites, nitrates and ammonia.

They're both mollies.

They're in a 28L tank which will soon be a community fish - these were my first ones.

Should I introduce some more fish? Does it matter whether it's another molly or not?

Or shall I attempt to separate the tank into two, and if so with what?

I'm getting worried as the fish is getting thin.

She's starting making a growling noise when I pick her up or move her away from something she shouldn't be doing... like taking her back down the stair when she wants to go up.
She never does it to my boyfriend. I'm not over soft with her and will tell her off for being naughty.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

The behaviorist I spoke to about my dog suggested that I start working with him on Schutzhund training. I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the training required, organizations, clubs and basically everything related that I can. I most likely would never compete however if it improves his behavior I'm all for it.

This is the second time she gave birth, but the first time she did it was in the main tank. This time I moved her into a 10 gallon breeder tank 2 days after she became pregnant (I had to because the male kept on harassing her). It's not even a month and I see her popping out babies. The babies don't instantly hid and swim, and they still have egg yolks. Her mouth is a little white (not really sure if she is sick from columaris, can't confirm yet).

Oh yea, the breeder tank still has 3 pregnant guppies, 7 one month old mollies, and 3 three week old baby guppies. Is she too stress out? Or is the fry suppose to have egg yolk (my first time seeing in action of her giving birth)?

My friend's sister adopted a puppy through petfinder and her vet gave the dog a shot for it. She is supposed to go back in 3 weeks and get another one. I have never heard of it. Anyone?
