It is clearing out the gravel piece by piece and has also managed to move 2 small decorations to cover the hole. It is very interesting to watch but I have no idea of the purpose.

I live in South Carolina and have an ultraviolet light in my koi pond skimmer to keep the water clear in the summer months. Would it be wise to removed it in the winter so it will perhaps last longer? Also, should I turn off my water fall in the winter? Or at minimum not run it 24 hours a day? I have about 3 dozen goldfish and four koi. The water at the deepest part is about 30 inches.

I know this question is going to get VERY controversial. Please NO thumbs down, name calling or abuse toward someone for voicing their opinion. There is NO wrong answer here.

Hypothetical Situation:
All governments in the world have come to a conclusion: ALL shelter dogs will be euthanized in order to fix the situation of overly populated shelters.

What is your reaction? Do you believe this will fix the problem, or just create more trouble? Will the amount of dogs being bred increase or will people learn from their mistakes?

My Jubilee is a 14 year old chow. I'm taking her to the vet on Monday, but I'm afraid this may be it for her. She doesn't seem to be in pain, but she's very confused. She keeps walking around in circles and every time she stops her butt slowly sinks to the ground, like she can't support her rear end. (She always walks in circles toward the left too.) She's also lost a lot of weight recently even though I'm feeding her canned food now, frequently sounds like she's snoring even when she's sitting or standing up, and she gags a lot when she's eating. What do you think? Am I going to have to say good bye to her Monday?

I have a thirty year od box turtle who is extremely picky. He eats only Fancy Feast cat food, lettuce and water. I have tried Box Turtle food, assorted fruits and vegatables, worms and snails. He will not eat them. Every 2 years a trip to the vet is needed to trim his beak and a nail clipping as he willl only eat that soft food. He has a turtle pond that he can sit in. He has a large enclosure with a house, an underglass heater and a towel covering the bottom.The Vitamen D light and heat lamp I got for him, did not work as he hid in the house. His home is near a double pane window so he does get light . I put supplements in his water. He gets to walk around the house on occassion.Tubby is spoiled! Anyone have any ideas how to improve this diet? I did have a little planted area for him and he wasn't too impressed by that either.

One store says tennis balls are dangerous, another store is pushing the expensive kong toys. Another store is pushing a product that you spray breath paste onto so it kills two birds with one store, although my dog doesnt have bad breath.

Isnt there something a dog will like that I dont have to pay 15 bucks all the time? How about marrow bones, though they could stain my carpet. All feedback and the more the better, Thanks in advance.

My vet said that x-rays won't tell till later but his hips hurt him when he sits and gets up. He is only 3 and the vet said it is rare for a small dog but he could have it.

I saw a stray cat outside and felt bad for it, so I gave it a few kitty treats. It walked over to me and I pet its face. It enjoyed the attention, so I pet it for a while and then I noticed its tail. Its tail was cut at the middle and it was basically dead from there down. It scared me, so I gave it some treats and went inside.
My mother said that I could get a disease or give my indoor cat a disease for touching that cat, so I changed my clothes and put the dirty ones in the wash. Then I washed my hands and put on Germ-X. I washed my hair and washed my hands again.
Am I free from getting any diseases or transferring them to my cat?
P.S. I tried to call Animal Control, but the cat was gone when I checked the yard and I couldn't find it anywhere.

We have a black lab that's about 15 years old. He's deaf. He's got lumps all over him. He has a very hard time getting up and down stairs. His appitite is on and off. Now, he has bladder control issues. With the cold weather coming, it's really going to be difficult to get up and down the stairs. I built a ramp for him but he won't use it. He's too heavy to keep carrying up and down. The dog doesn't seem happy but, he doesn't seem to be in physical pain. It's hard to tell. It's always been hard to tell with him.

If we do decide to put him down before it gets really cold, how do I explain it to the 4 year old? Or, do I wait until he's staying over grandma's house and say the dog took off into the woods or got hit by a car?
