i have a beautiful 6month old labrador, i live on my own and he sleeps in my bed with me.....yes that does cause some problems with dog hair and the like but to honest i dont mind.....i have a boyfriend who stays about 3 nights a week, he has banned the dog from the bedroom, he says its filth...anyway, last night the dog was put in the kitchen for the night, i have a dog flap so he can go in the garden whenever he wants, but obviously he is on his own. he cryed and cryed and cryed and cryed and barked and cryed and barked all night long....he was still up at 5o'c crying, when i got up the kitchen was pretty wrecked, he had everything he could reach off the side. i feel heartbroken about him being on his own...will he get used to it? do you think its ok to have a dog in the bedroom? what about a compromise, dog in the room but not on the bed? any advice much appreciated.

Just a month ago, my dog was extremely active, barking at the neighbors who would come by, running from our front living room to the backyard, chasing lizards, getting excited whenever the word WALK was said, and hopping up for food when it was thrown to her.

Now, in just a month's time she just sleeps all day, and hardly eats. I see her sometimes just lying there with her eyes open as if she feels inside of her this pain that is growing. She hops on one leg, because her right leg has grown cancer. I just wish I could be a God, so that I would heal what has seemingly been neglected.

She looks at me with the most caring eyes, and when I lie down next to her, she looks away, and when I pet her, she lays her head down by my head and starts licking my face as if I am the one in pain. I wish I could be half as tough right now as she used to be. Now she is so fragile, and it's hard for me to take without memories interrupting. She was just a baby days ago it seems...

How would you feel?

I'm looking at setting up a 300+ gallon aquarium for amazon stingrays and was wondering if I could get away with a school of tetra's in with them. My thinking is that with them being bottom feeders, the tetras might be okay given enough cover to bed down in at night....

Any thoughts?

Hello!
I have a 20 gallon tank..ph is 7.0, and ammonia and nitrates and nitrites were just checked today and were good...I have had this tank for almost three months...in it, I have
2 Balloon Mollies
2 Buenas Aries tetras
and an Algae Eater.
They have been thriving and doing really well since I set up the tank. Today, i added two dwarf Gouramis...a red flame and and powder blue. They seem to be doing okay, eating fine and still moving their fins...but the blue one stays around the bottom of the tank..hiding behind a plant. The red one spends most of the time hiding in the pirate ship I have...is this normal? I read that Gourami's are top to middle dwellers...is it okay for them to be hiding at the bottom since this is their first day in the tank? Also, I let them acclimate for 20 minutes...please give me your input! Thank you!.

I just bought a 55 gal fresh water tank that came with the following fish in it:
2 clown loaches
1 corydora
4 tiger barbs
1black fin shark
1 bala shark
2 opaline gourami
1 pleco
1 golden barb
All but the pleco and the gourami are only 1-2 inches ling or less, the gourmai are 3" and the pleco is 4". I know they will grow, but the tank looks very empty right now in terms of fish.

I'm kind of new to this big of a tank and most fish in general so please bear with me, I am trying to research and find out if there are any "pretty" fish that would fit in with this group. Most of mine are shades of silvers and light blues, and I want to add color? Or are there any long tailed or fancy looking fish that would get along? About half of what I have are listed as semi-aggressive, the others are peaceful, but none of them seem agressive toward each other??? What can I add, or what fish that I already have would prevent me from adding the pretty and peaceful fish?

I've been cycling a 20g tank for a little under three weeks now, with three danios and five white clouds. Over the last three days, my ammonia, which had been hovering at around 0.25 ppm, has suddenly risen to about 0.5-1.0 ppm. I'd been doing 25% water changes about twice a week, although I'm doing them more frequently now with the higher ammonia. I also feed the fish a small pinch of food every other day.

Is this my long-awaited ammonia spike? If so, how soon should it take to go down to 0 (it's been spiking for about 3 days now)? Also, my substrate is sand, with a little gravel mixed in. Do tanks with sand take longer to cycle?

I have a 10 year old Golden Retriever and he has always had ear trouble, but over the past couple weeks he's been having this consistant drainage of blackish-brown type earwax-y fluid coming from his ear, we end up cleaning his ear at least twice a day instead of the once a week routine, he's scheduled for a vet appointment in a couple weeks but should i be more concerened?
