My two dogs are missing. They either got out last night when family member came home or early this morning when family member left. The gate is automated and was open long enough for the car to go through.... so I guess whoever let them out didn't see them go out.

Been driving for couple of hours looking but they aren't in this area. I live in a desert so I'm sure they're thirsty and there's also lots of coyotes around.

They are about 1 year old each and weight around 30-50 pounds.

So anyone have any tips or advice to find them?

Will they come home on their own???? I left the gate open just in case they come back.

They've been missing at least 7 hours. : (((((((((((

I am going to set up a 125 gallon tank and fill it with livebreeders to get a lot of fry. I have a cycled tank for the fry to go in, it is only like 10 gallons. I am going to get mollies, guppies, platy, and swordtail. I want to know what type of these fish are particularly cool. I know I will have black mollies and fancy guppies, but I want to know what sort of these fish are really cool, like dalmation mollies, delta guppies, etc., and how many of each type of livebreeder I should get.

okay let me just say first. i am NOT planning on forcing some puppy to have puppies inself at the youngest age possible!

i just wondered whats the youngest age they can produce them.
so like if you had a male and a female puppy what age they could breed, so i know when to seperate them before their castrated/ speyed when their old enough.

One of my birds are pecking out another birds eye and it doesn't seem to notice. The mean one follows the other one and torments it. I try to distract it with something else so it won't torture the other one but it eventually fights again. They keep pecking at each other and they fall to the bottom of the cage and feathers fly everywhere. Whats wrong with them??

We will be renting out our house in California and will be moving to Texas. We will be staying with relatives for about a year until we get established . They have dogs of their own and a considerable smaller yard, we currently have an acre for them to run on. I have 5 dogs. The two biggest ones, male and female, brother and sister from the same litter, who are Lab mixes are the ones who we have to find homes for. They are only two years old and probably the best family dogs that anyone can have. It's killing me to have to let them go but we don't really have a choice.
What do you think is the best way to find a replacement family for them.

1. Grapes
Many people give this fruit to their dogs as a treat. However, just a few bites can cause fatal kidney failure in some dogs.


Both grapes and raisins can be toxic. Some dogs eat them with seemingly no ill effects. However, some dogs become ill after ingesting only a few grapes or raisins. The first symptom is vomiting, followed by acute kidney failure, from which many dogs do not recover. As of yet, the toxin is unknown, nor do we know why some dogs become sick and others eat grapes or raisins without a problem.

2. Bread dough
The yeast-containing bread dough can ferment in the dog's stomach, releasing large quantities of alcohol. Dogs may become very ill from alcohol poisoning. Small dogs are most susceptible to this toxicity.

When I picked my dog up from the groomer she seemed fine, but ever since, she yelps/whines when she pushes up out of a lying down position. It is her front left leg, and I think the pain is in her shoulder, but not certain. The vet checked her out and said he didn't think it was a break since she was walking on it fine, but 3 days later she is still in pain and I am wondering if there is anything else I can do for her here at home? Any vets/specialists out there willing to help? Will baby aspirin really help or will it just mask a problem that could be getting worse?

My male betta fish has a swelling in only one part of his body but on both sides... It is somewhere near his belly, been there for over a week.He is pale, but only in the part where he has the swelling. I changed 70% of his water and added 4-5 drops of some anti-bacterial medicine the fish shop gave me. Here they don't have any medicines for fish diseases except for some very general ones.
Anyway, so when I did that, he seemed fine for 2-3 days, he got his colour back and was eating,pooping,flaring and swimming normally, however, the swelling did not subside.
He was normal in the evening, I stepped out for a couple of hours n returned home to find him pale again... The swelling has yet not subsided.
What can I do? I am feeding him very little and he is eating well. I don't have access to any medication except very general ones... Pls tell me how I can help him without using medicines.
Thank you God bless you.

I have a cat that I adopted from the Humance Society... I am going to assume that he was abused before because he bites alot... and if you put your face anywhere near his he will bite you... you can't kiss him or anything... I love to play with him he is so cute but his biting is just awful... and he has massive teeth!! I refuse to 'spank' him even though my mom tells me to because then he will think that im abusing him too...

Is there anything I can do to make him stop this?

He is about 5 years old now and I have had him for almost 2 years. I refuse to give him back or get rid of him.

Ok, I usually just ask goofy/fun questions but for once I have a real question.

My wife is 20 weeks pregnant. We have 2 small dogs at home. They are pretty well behaved but can be pretty playful.

Are there things that we can do before the baby is born to help get them used to having a baby around? Any thoughts or suggestions??

I have a tank that has fancy guppies, mollies, tetra neons, platys, gourmanis and a mystery snail all happily getting along. Water levels and temperature is good. We have only real plants in the tank. I was wondering why and who is breaking the plants in half?

I have a 7 month old maltese that is so picky about food! He will eat one thing pretty consistently for about a week and then refuse to touch it. He is a great dog and is so easy going with everything but food. He won't go near his dog food (dry or wet) and so I tried just plainly cooked chicken. For about a week he was enjoying chicken and rice (but wouldn't eat the broccoli) and now he won't touch that either.

I'm willing to mix up his food but I want to make sure he gets all the nutrients he needs without making things too complicated. Does anyone have any suggestions for guidelines I should follow while trying to figure out what to feed him? What things I should stay away from and what ingredients I should try to keep pretty constant?

I've seen the betta fish flower vases where there's a peace lily in water and the fish lives at the bottom. Just out of curiosity, does the plant have to be a peace lily and the fish have to be a chinese fighting fish? can the plant be any other plant and the fish be goldfish?

Well, my family and i are driving across America in a Mobile Home, and recently our beloved dog jumped out of the car. Should we turn back and get him, or should we continue going without him.

Alright, I have 2 Bichon puppies. 1 is my husband and I's and the other my mom is taking when she comes to visit for Thanksgiving. They are sweet, cute and fun, but the problem is: my husband is starting to hate them because they are not trained. He says that our puppy will never be trained because she is a small dog and small dogs do what they want. I know different because I grew up with smaller dogs. So, I need help with some quick ways to get them to be more obedient and COMPLETELY potty trained REALLY soon. See, we are moving from our apartment to a new house next weekend and he is stressing that they are going to ruin the carpet, etc. So, I need to find out a pretty quick solution...at least so I can show him some progress!
Anything would be helpful!
Thanks so much! :)
