Has anyone heard this one? A previous answerer said this but I'd never heard this.

I know there's a lot of erroneous things floating around about what is or isn't poisonous to dogs, but I think I know the fact from the fiction.

My friend is giving me hers for Christmas and I've heard they can be quite attached to their owners, but what if the owner just kept him in a cage and occasionally played with him? Would the attachment still be there? How long would it take for him to adjust?

I've gotten my puppy to pee in cage, but he just can't seem to poop there. I've tried putting his feces in the cage but he ignores it. I've gotten this spray that says wherever you spray it, the dog will pee/poop there, but it hasn't been working. Any suggestions?

I have a florida cooter (water turtle) and it used to be in a 10 gallon aquarium. I just got a 33 gallon aquarium and was wondering if he is going to grow the size of it. I can't let him get that big!! Thanks.

I got some 'rosey red' (or something like that) minnows from the fish store place and already, two of them [after only having them for a day] seemed to get a crooked body and soon after, die. I don't know if it's some sort of disorder or something... but I got them to feed to my softshell turtle and I don't want to feed him bad fish. I was wondering if it could be some sort of fish tuberculosis tumor... PLEASE HELP!!!

I have a one year old beagle and he is the best dog ever until we have a guest. Then all he wants to do is jump up on them. My father is handicap and coming for christmas dinner and I am scared he will jump on him. What should I do. My dad loves dogs but no one wants them to jump on them. I guess I could answer my own question I should put him in his cage. But he is a good dog after the new wears off.

Well, not actually c rap, but I asked another question and apparently Pedigree food is junk. I thought since it was a big name brand that it would be good. But, my dog has the runs and everybody here says it's junk. She just recentlly (about 3-4 months ago) started eating Pedigree wet food and has has diarreah most of the time. Beofre that she ate MutroMax dry food, but I changed her due to a minor illness that she has since gotten over. Soo, what is good food? Should I go back to the dry NutroMax? I have no reason not to, she just seems to like the wet a lot better so I kept buying it. Any suggestions? She is a 6 YO English Bulldog, if it makes a difference. Thanks a bunch.

ok, well i am scared because she has asthma, and if she is overcrowded or pulled on her collar in a not gently way, or is she gets yelled at, 1 of these causes her to have an asthma attack, what can i do to stop being fearful for her because i suspect and my mother does she has ashtma because she might be fearful of suffocation and concluding death, i love her, and i am scared for her. i never abused her, i am against animal abuse, so idk y she has asthma, what can i do to stop beng fearful for her, because dogs can sense a persons feelings.
ok now this is weird, this is the 2nd time in the past 20 min she is having another asthma attack, but nothing happened!
she is just resting on my bed, both times!

My dog was sick with some stomach problems a few months ago and during that time the vet switched her to some prescription food. She had previously eaten dry food her whole life (6 years) but the vet switched her to wet food and I just kept her on it even after the illness cleared up. However, she has had diarreah recently and I think it is because of her food. I feed her Pedigree chunky wet food exclusively. She doesn't get any human food. I do swithc flavors of the food, just like from chicken and rice, to beef and rice to lamb and veggies, etc. but it is all the same style from the same brand. Switching flavors isn't a big enough change to give her diarreah, is it? Should I just get one flavor and always giver her that? Or should I change to a different brand or back to dry food? She seems to really love the wet food(I'm sure it tastes better than dry) but she always has diarreah.

Do you take your dog to get pics taken with Santa?
Our local PetSmart does it for $10 and $5 goes to the local SPCA. I think its a pretty cute idea, you get a gift shaped frame to go with it as well. (Which our dog already got to and chewed off the plastic bow)

Just wondered if anyone else does this!

Here Nixons first pic since we adopted him from our spca in October. We took the original and put it in Photoshop to make it into a Christmas card for our family hehe.

My 2 year old cocker and 9 week old shih-tzu mix are play fighting in the floor. The cocker is a considerable amount bigger than the puppy, but as they "fight" they pounce at each other, then turn and almost bump butts then jump at each other again. The cocker is careful not to hurt the pup- it's all completely harmless, but I'm wondering about the butt bumping. Is this normal? Or are mine especially friendly?

Both males- cocker is neutered and has been since he was 6 months old. The baby isn't old enough yet.

do you think they treat the dogs cruelly? Do you think it is a bad sport because they keep them in crates?

I am neutral when it comes to greyhound racing. I do not know enough about it to make a judgment yet.

*Is getting a CO2 maker thing really helpful(Jungle CO2 Fizz Factory)?

*What are some prices on driftwood? Is natural driftwood really worthwhile?

*Any tips for decorating my 30g bowfront tall aquarium?
