What's the best way to help your six-year-old cope with the possibility of having to put your 17-year-old dog to sleep soon?
Can you say attached? She is.

Where I live it's currently -19 C, and will probably drop to -35 C at some point this winter. He's an inside dog, and think a coat may help him keep warm on our walks. Whaddya think?

I am considering getting a ramshorn snail for a five gallon or ten gallon already established tank. I am wanting to know if it is easy to breed these snails and if they are asexual. I was wondering if the newborns would be eaten by either bettas or guppy fry(I don't keep betta and guppy fry together!). Also if there is any other info on breeding, then that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....Gup.

My Yorkshire terrier (he's about 9 months old) has the biggest and cutest underbite. He eats just fine, like a hog really. Does anyone know if this would pose a health problem? I have to admit that it's really cute when he looks up at you with his bottom teeth sticking out!

When I started having aquarium with fish 2 months ago, I bought a snail to see if it really clean the tank sides .
However, every week I got small green algae growing on the sides. I keep scraping and it keep going back .
Then about 2 week ago, I bought a borneo sucker, and what do you know, no more algae anywhere on the tank side. The guy seem to move around alot. I think he is the best cleaner for my 10 gallons tank :P, unlike that lazy small pleco that people said to avoid like plague o_O .

I bought the 2 small fishes a month ago and I was cleaning the tank, had to change water every week and have done it for 3 times already without any problem. Anyway, I had to catch them with small fishnet so I could transfer them to a bowl. The male one was easy to catch but the female took 2 minutes and when I finally caught it and transferred it to the bowl, its not longer moving and it died with eyes open! Did I kill it accidentally? It was no longer swimming and it looks dead and I was sad, it was the very first time I ever had an aquarium and fishes. I wonder how it died?

We took our new puppy in for his shots, and my 4 year old came with me (He's "her" puppy, so I thought it would be a good learning experience for her to come along and see that dogs need to see doctors, too). While I was there, another customer- NOT veterinary staff- told me that the vet's clinic was "no place for children" and I was irresponsible for bringing her where other dogs were because not all dogs like children. At first, I was offended, but now that I've thought about it more, I'm starting to see where they were coming from. Although my daughter was not trying to pet or play with other animals at the clinic, I do see where her presence could have been troublesome to other animals. I was wondering about opinions from some of you other dog owners. I really would like for her to continue to come to the vet appointments with me because I think it's good for her to learn these things firsthand, but at the same time, I don't want to be THAT lady that is rude and inconsiderate..

I am yet to trim/cut my 8 month old shih tzu's hair. Everytime I walk her people ask me why I keep her hair so long. I brush her daily and she does not have any matting at all. Is it ok to keep her hair long? Tell me what you think.

Every time I go outside of my house to go to work, my neighbor's dog starts foaming at the mouth and starts going crazy barking... you know all of the crazy stuff viscious dogs like to do... anyway I think he wants to eat me... what should I do? When I tried to speak to the neighbor he told me "he's on a leash and to mind my own ******* business"

I'm stuck between two options (1) Go and break the neighbor's legs... or (2) Move.... what can I do?

My daughter WON a bunny 3 years ago at a local festival and the poor thing just lives in her room in her cage day after day (even if my daughter forgets to feed her for a couple days)...I feel bad and want to find a home for her (the rabbit not my daughter...lol). Does anyone know what kind of organization might take a rabbit? She really doesn't fit in with a house full of retrievers (we breed Goldens). thanks
