Pets - 18 December 2007

My dog Duke weighs about 90 lbs and yesterday I was sitting in the recliner and he jumps up and sits on my lap. Then he laid in my lap.

I thought it was cute! He doesn't do it too often so I don't mind him laying in my lap.

Help! So far i just found 1 flea on my puppy. Im not sure if theres more but im afraid there might be flea eggs. Can anyone give me a natural recipe to cure it or kill them or stop them from coming? Im dont think i want to use chemicals because they can cause health problems to both humans and animals. If ur goin to wright flea collar, shampoo, or vet, dont bother

She is 10/11 weeks and it is her first fresh food she eats pellets, which she took to well just like the spinach as she has only ever seen it twice and today she ate it.

My question is will she accept other fresh foods and what may she like my other tiel-loved carrot too?

Will my tiel get used to that food as quick as she has done with the pellets and spinach

She has also learnt to fly to me her wings are semi clipped she can fly enough to come to me lol, and she has learnt to climb a ladder im trying to teach the wave what else can I teach her, she seems smart and is still young?

I doubt she will talk and I am not good at whistling lol

Hi, My staffie is mostly really well behaved, she is very protective of me most of the time. There is a co-dependency problem....
When my dad, or Bf or friends give me a cuddle, she barks, and barks.
How can I stop this, at this time of year everyone is hugging, and shes NOT happy when people touch me.
(forgot to deal with this at training, I guess it never came up at the time, probably because I didnt hug the trainer..! Any help would be apprieciated.
Cheers

Darn! I was answering a question on Y/A and I just saw a mouse run across the room... oops, just back again! Now it just ran into the closet. Great, it's 2:30 am and I got to hunt a mouse. Any ideas how to get this thing or should I just feed it and make peace?

i have a 2 year old male husky and a 3 year old male cat. Generally the male cat would tease the husky sometimes, but the husky wouldn't mind most of the time. However yesterday evening the husky suddenly attacked the cat when he was teased. I quickly separated the cat but by then he was already injured severely and was crying in pain.

I took him to the vet and the vet said that the cat suffered serious injuries and it would take several months to recover at least.

The cat generally showed dominating behavior to husky but husky never retaliated before. The cat would often touch the husky's nose with his paw and display similar behaviors.

But i'm clueless and still not able to understand why husky beat the cat so badly yesterday. Can anyone tell why the fight occurred and how to avoid it again?

The dog was generally very easygoing and laidback, so its still hard for me to realize what he did.

The cat has been admitted into vet facility for now.

It started out with just one mouse...and we didn't want to kill it but now we have a real problem on our hands. We don't want to use poison because our dog has already caught three mice on her own. What can we do?

So I went to Petco today and they wouldn't sale me 10 fish in a 10 gallon tank. The employee said that he did not feel like seeing the fish die in such a small tank and said that he will not sale it to me... Are they allowed to do this?

I hear people say that it is illegal to flush your fish down the toilet because of the chance that it might actually stay alive and harm the local eco-system... same thing with snails?

Also, at Petco, I see signs that say please do not release your fish to a pond or lake...

The reason to this is? what kind of harm can it do?

I wanna release some fish in a little pond near my house for fun :)

Hey guys,

I am about to get a 50 gallon aquarium for my 14 th birthday.

I would like to get Dwarf Cichlids.

So my questions are:

Can I put Dwarf Cichlids in a tank of that size?

If so how many?

Which types get along with each other the best?

Can they be kept with other fish?

If so what types?

What types of fish cant they be kept with?

I would also like to get a sucker fish/algae eater for the tank, so can Dwarf Cichlids be kept with them?

What type of sucker fish should i get that is suitable for a 50 gallon tank?

Are Dwarf Cichlids available in Australia?

And in case anyone is wondering this is not my first tank. I have two other aquariums so i have some experience, and i know how to cycle the tank and everything.

Thanks everyone =]
