Hey. I have a beautiful Golden Retreiver whom i love to bits!! But i've always at some point of my life wanted to own a Great Dane. I have a fascination for big dogs.
When my dog is older i'm thinking of maybe getting a great dane depending on my lifestyle circumstances. I think they'd get along really well!!
Can anyone who owns or have ever owned a great dane tell me about them. I heard they're beautiful natured. How old have you gotten them to live till. I've read that their life expectancy is 6-8 years.. anyone got their great dane to 10??
Thanks for your answers

I got rid of my cat several months ago. Do I need to bomb the house? or do they die on their own?

My fish is a very light blue color and he is changing color and someone told me that fish know when its winter and they change color during the winter? How do they know it's winter?

My cousin has a hampster named Jean-Claude. She used to have one named Sophia and the one before that was Pumpkin Pie. Her names crack me up.

Anybody else have funny names for their pets?

My betta fish hasn't eaten in over a week and a half. Also lately he has just been sitting at the bottom of the bowl, hardly ever moving and never coming up to breathe. He just sits there slowly breathing from the bottom, I'm afraid he won't get enough air and he has to be hungry right?? What do I do?

What is your opinion on breeding? Do you think some breeds should be bred more than others? Are there are dog breeds that should not be bred at all? Why?


Please keep it clean. There are no wrong answers here. No name-calling, accusations, judging or thumbs down please.

Ok, I've tried squirting her, clapping my hands, and even making really loud noises when she gets on the table and NONE of it works! When I squirt her she normaly jumps down and runs away but is back on in a matter of minutes. When we leave the house we keep the cats in another room so they don't get into trouble, but for some reason the kitten still thinks its OK to get on the table. Help would be very much appriciated. She really enjoys the sound of crinkling things, such as aluminum foil as well, so I'm relitivly certain that wouldn't work either.

I have a rather small russian tort. Approx. 4-5" long. He lives in a beautifully decorated 55 gal. tank. My daughter purchased some hermit crabs and wants to put them in the same tank as the tortoise. Is that safe for both of them? Will they be able to co-exsist? My Tortoise is such a sweet little guy and I don't want to do anything to upset or hurt him. Thanks for the help.

I'm looking to get a few lake Tanganyikan cichlids for my tank but it is currently filled with soft water. I currently have a few tiger barbs in there just to get my tank cycled and will be removing them to start up another tank with. I was planning on slowly adding hard or RO water to the tank once I got the new fish. So how does soft water effect them?

But she didnt want us to touch her only the top of her head also she was acting very strange kind of with her tail drooping eyes very tired. HELP!! what could be wrong wiht her!!!!

We might take her to the vet later on today..could it be something she ate? also she did go pee 5 or ten minutes ago.

My bearded dragon recently dug a cave under a rock in her tank and spends most of her time there. Is this due to the temerature drop so shes in a hibernation like state. she does eat occasionally.

According to the vet, they can no longer nurse from the mother, is this true? He said that there is something in the milk that fights against the vaccines. The mom looks like she is in pain from having all that milk and nobody to drink it.

I haven't been in the dog food isle of the grocery store for a while . I have been feeding my puppy canidae but it seems lately she'd rather starve and eat her own poop than to eat that . I may try feeding her canidae or innova when she gets older or something. I dont live near a store that sales healthy dog foods and I cant just keep traveling back and forth to the specialty petstore thats like 80-90 miles just to try out healthy dog foods to see which one she likes. Right now she'll only eat the purina pro plan puppy food for large breeds ,thats what the vet gave her. I just want to know if I can get that at the grocery store or does the veternarian have to get it for me ?
Thank You
