A lady my aunt knows is selling a Yorkie for $400.00. The dog is a year and a half. He was born on Feb 06,2006...My question is should i buy the dog? Is that a good deal? And would the dog be able to adapt to a new environment?

I feel really terrible about this as i didnt just get a puppy without thinking, i thought about nothing else for the last 6 months, we read all the books, found a good breeder, and puppy proofed the house.
We spent ages finding a breeder we liked, visited mia from 3 weeks till 7 weeks when we picked her up, and i was so excited about getting her. The thing is even though i love her to bits, i have this feeling that we have made a terrible mistake, she seems very dominant and im not sure we are going to be able to cope with her as she gets bigger( she is a doberman 8weeks now).
She bites alot, when she is calm she isnt so bad, but she has a couple of mad hours, and runs round and round biting/snapping at everyone. We tell her no, and try to ignore her but its hard.
I cant take her out as she hasnt had her injections yet.
Please could anyone with experience of dobermans give me some advice, will she calm down, how can i let her know that i am the boss?

We took in a stray dog 11 years ago. A neighbor had found him and spent days finding the owner and couldn't. We were looking for a dog for our family and decided to help her out also. The dog had obviously been abused, he crouched when anyone tried to pet him. We named him Kramer. We found out soon afterwards Kramer is epileptic. We decided to keep him anyway, though the two medicines he needs runs about $40/month and we must visit his neurologist once a year. A few years ago we were told he has a thyroid condition, so now he takes 3 medicines a day.

The problem is: he is so much work. Because of his seizures, we have to keep an eye on him 24/7. When he seizures, he can't control his tongue so he tries to eat our carpets. We put him outside, so he pulls at the grass until the seizure stops. A few times he got to our carpets before we could stop him, so they needed repair. The medicine keeps his seizures to around 3 a month, without the meds it would be 3 a week.

Hi, a friend of mine has a tropical setup and is wanting to get a nicer cabinet to go with his 60 x 18h x 15w tank. He likes the look of the Juwel Rio 400 cabinet in dark wood and was wondering if this would be ok with his tank?

The rio cabinet is 20 inches wide and the tank 15" . The tank would be at the front of the cabinet so therefore would not be resting on the rear panel of the cabinet as the tank is 5inches less wide. Can anyone see any problems with this? Thanks for any replies.

A lion woke up one morning feeling really rowdy and mean. He went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty lion!

"Later, the lion confronts a wildebeest and fiercely bellows, "Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?"

The terrified wildbeest stammers, "Oh great lion, you are by far the mightiest animal in the jungle!"

On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"

Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his trunk, slams him against a tree half a dozen times. The lion feeling like it'd been run over by a safari wagon. The elephant then stomped on the lion till it looked like a corn tortilla and ambled away.

The lion let out a moan of pain, lifted his head weakly and hollered after the elephant, "Just because you don't know the answer, you don't have to get so pissed off."

I am very scared for my cat...he is severely obese....when you pick him up it feels like he has a lead bar in his stomach he's so heavy.....he even walks funny at times, as almost if he's in pain on one of his legs. He wants food constantly....I don't know if he was starved as a kitten or what (we got him at a shelter when he was 3 and he was thin) but he eats almost anything now. We've been trying this regiment....1/4 cup dry in the morning, 1/8 cup dry around 2 pm, half a mini can of Friskies wet food around 5 pm, and then 1/8 cup dry just before bed to hold him over until morning....it doesn't seem to be working....do you think getting a baby kitten might help him lose weight? Maybe they would play together and he'd get more exercise....we had another cat about 2 months ago and he was starting to lose weight then, but we had to get rid of the new cat because of bad behavior problems with the new adult cat we introduced. Do you think this would work?

He acts very listless. Usually he comes and goes straight for his treat. The last couple days he just flops down on the floor. He has also thrown up at least 2 times and left another mess on the floor. What could be wrong?

Will you pay $200 for a miniature dog? I know it depends on what kind of dog but lets just say a simple kind of breed.

I am torn as to whether to take my puppy to the vet. I am extremely low on funds (college student) and a typical visit to the vet here costs at least $100. I have looked up low cost options, but the only things offered are vaccine clinics.

Anyway, my puppy has repeated itching with his hind legs. I found a few fleas on him about a week ago, but there are no signs of them left (he had a capstar flea treatment, and I cleaned the whole house). He also has a cough. However, he has had this since the day I got him. When I took him for his first vet visit a month ago, the vet told me that the "cough was on its way out" and there is nothing to do for it. The vet also gave him the bordatella vaccine. This cough seems to get MUCH worse when my puppy is laying down, such as last night when he was in his crate. He was asleep, I came into the room and he woke up, coughing horribly. This only lasts <5 seconds, but it is intense. Vet or no? Should I wait and see if these symptoms get better?
