my sister is starting out in a small house and she wants to get a dog but she doesn't know what would be a good first dog to get. She grew up all around dogs and animals. She has a small yard but she likes to go on walks and she has a job from 9:00a.m. to 6:00p.m.

I normally feed a high quality all natural holistic dog food with no fillers but I'm wondering what the harm is in feeding a little bit of leftovers? I love to cook and always cook from scratch so I know whats going in the food. Like tonight I made chili. I put in the usual like chili beans, ground hamburger, tomato sauce and a chicken base seasoned with chili powder, cumin and garlic powder. I omitted the onion because I've heard its poisonous to dogs, and besides, I really hate onions myself. Or say when I cook chicken and have leftovers, etc. You get the point. Is this okay for my dogs, and if not, why??? Seems healthy enough to me. Its not like I feed them chocolate, junk food, or anything like that. They are a cocker spaniel and bernese mountain dog border collie mix.
Thanks

I have a 19 yr. old cat and we have had him for like 9 yrs. He has been a awesome cat but he has been peeing everywhere in the house (thank God for hardwood floor) and just recently when he pees there is like brown spots in it. And when we clean it up its like a brownish redish color. He wakes up about 2 to 4 times a night to be fed. He eats the food out of he pouchs. He eats so much food but never gains weight. Everything goes straight through him. Is it time to put him down?

I don't know how to culture anything. I did try brine shrimp but my dog knocked the tank on the floor.

Hey I have had my tank for about 3 months now. Everything was going great. I have a 46 gallon with 2 discus and other community tank members. The other fish get scared when the discus get closer to them because I guess of the discuss size. The discus are about 3-4 inches in diameter. The water is at 82 degrees with a pH around 5.8 to 6.0. The 2 discus have been doing great with each other. How ever one of the discus out of nowhere just started to swim very fast and hit the top of the tank a few times. He is just settled down and I guess he did it for about 10 seconds. But he now has the black stress lines along his sides. I just did a water change this morning, so I do not know if that caused some stressed. But I always add some stress zyme in there along with aquairam salt. But I was just wondering what was the cause to his behavior and how do I prevent this from happenening again? I want to make sure that the discus' are very safe and happy. What am I doing wrong?

He is a male, a russian or chinese hamster, I´ve had him for about one week and everytime I want to put my hand close to him he sniffs me and bites, he has made me bleed profusely and it is so cute that I just want to hold him and play with him. Everyone with experience thank you?? And greeting from Mexico!!

okay so about 10 months ago we caught 2 cats that were totally wild. We got them neuterd/speyed and kept them inside for about 4-5 months.
We could pat one like normal, but not the other. We finally let them outside and they went next door and got trapped and attacked by the neighbour's big dogs. The one we could pat came back, but the other was trapped for a week.
We managed to trap her again and get her back. She will let us pat her now, but is still wary. We Want to let them out again, but don't want them to get trapped next door again. How do we stop them going there? They like going there because the neighbour has a tree where lots of birds go.

PS our neighbours are nasty too

I just got home from being out of town for the weekend. I have a small tank with 4 fish a tetra, molly, platty and one other im not sure what kind. Usually when I leave I put a feeder in the bottom of the tank, its like a gel that puts food in the water i guess. Well I just got home and the platty was upside down gasping and the tatra is jumping around the molly is just laying on the bottom of the tank and the other one is moving really slow and has white fuzz on his face. They have a water fiter that pumps oxygen into the water as it cleans. What can I do now???

Last night I was walking my 8 month old cattle dog on a route I always take when a Staffy Bull Terrier came from no where at a hundred miles an hour ready to attack both of us. I managed to pick my dog up in time (as he is only a puppy and thinks all dogs want to play with him when he meets them) but the stray dog then jumped, snapped and snarled, scratching my legs and torso determined to get to my dog.

I managed to kick and knee the dog in self defence and some teenagers came to my assistance and managed to divert the dog into another direction.

My question is, did I do the right thing, should I have just let this dog try to rip mine apart, or could I have done something else?

It is my first experience with an attack of this sort, so I am trying to get ideas of what I should do if it should happen again. I am going to start walking with a piece of wood/stick, but given the dertimination of this dog - I am not sure it will ward a determined dog off.
