Favorite actor - Cillian Murphy!!!Well ANYWAYS *cough cough*... I know TONS about animals, as well as dog training and stuff. Haha, I also know a lot random things...
advice
I would like to get some sort of animal as a pet. The only thing is that my dad is allergic to furry animals, and my family is very busy, so we couldn't give the pet 24/7 care that often. so, what kind of pet should I get?
I disagree with the other person that posted.
Birds need attention, especially if you only have one. The only birds that wouldn't need to be let out/played with everyday are finches, and with those you'd NEED to get more than one. Otherwise it's just being cruel. D: ALSO -- many people are allergic to birds because of the large amounts of dust that come off of their wings!
Reptiles are fine since, quite frankly, they generally don't care about people and aren't affectionate. They are pretty cool pets though and can be really tame. If you have a reptile you still need to give it a large amount of space if it's spending most of it's time in it's cage. so keep in mind how LARGE the reptiles get and how LONG they live. For reptiles like iguanas and boas, they get very large and live for a very long time, so don't make a commitment you aren't willing to keep. Snakes will also have to be fed mice most likely, which I personally find distressing, so if you can't deal with that then don't get a snake (or get a very small snake that stays small and only needs to be fed large crickets).
Amphibians can also be fun pets (like frogs) but some can also live a long time, so once again, don't make a commitment you can't keep.
FISH -- probably the best pet because they are fairly easy to take care of. Consider getting a betta, since they are the easiest of all fish in my opinion. You can keep them in a bowl (a large bowl mind you!) and they are really pretty and entertaining (put a mirror up to one and they go into their aggressive posture). They only live a couple years to, so that's much less of a commitment. You do still have to feed them everyday and clean the bowl at least once a week.
That's all I can think of right now. ^_^;;;
i eat healthy. sometimes i have a scoop of icecream but its not large at all. i am an over all healthy person. no fast foods besides subway once and a while. i am a cheerleader. i love potatoes! like, just a normal baked potatoe, don't need salt or butter. is that good? i hear the skin is the healthiest part? also, sometimes i go crazy wth penut butter and just eat spoonfulls but i can't help it. what should i do?
Potatoes are actually good for you, but only with moderation!! Eating too much of any food is bad.
But, better than the average potato is SWEET POTATOES or YAMS. (The orange thingy XD)
SWEET POTATOES: Consistantly rated the BEST food for you to eat, better than carrots or lettuce or anything. Sweet potatoes have soo much nutrients and minerals in them.
So in this case I suggest eating sweet potatoes instead of the normal potatoes. And the best part, at least to me, is that they are sweeter (hence their name) and just generally better tasting than normal potatoes.
Peanut butter is not the best this to go crazy with, BUT -- if you eat peanut butter with WHOLE GRAIN bread, this is a complete protein that is very healthy.
Like I said -- MODERATION is the key. Try not to go crazy with anything. XD
Hope I helped! ;D
do you believe "once a cheater always a cheater" ?
why or why not?
It can go both ways.
First I say yes, because some of the people who would cheat on the first place lack some of the morals that would prevent them from doing it a second time, and therefore, are likely to do it all over again.
BUT -- I also say no, because there are many people who cheat on someone, but after a while they are filled with so much remorse that they never want to do it again.
It really depends on the person.
My dog has been super depressed lately, she just lays under the bed. & she hardly comes out all day, & when she does.. I try to play with her, & she growls at me. Shes never done this to me before. So, I'm thinking about getting one of those dog pyschics..
so, i'm just wondering, do you think they work? I mean I don't believe it that much, but I'm to the point where I'll accept help from anyone.
Has your dog ever done this?
If so, how long does it last?
It's usually a waste of money to put it frankly. The best solution to your dogs problems is YOU. Only you have the background information on your dog and the ability to change its environment. If you need, I would suggest seeing a dog behaviorist (MUCH different from a "psychic") who might know possible causes of your dogs depression and can offer valuable information to making her feel better. ^^
Dog behaviorist= good
psychic = unnecessary waste of money
xP Hope your dog feels better. ^-^
about how much a month does one horse cost? without boarding, farriers and all that. and then with farriers, vets, and dentists added in?
thanks!
For my horse, the only monthly costs ARE the boarding, farrier, etc. which is about $350. So I'm not sure what other cost you're refferring too. XD
I've had my cat for 10 years and I love him, but he suddenly started growing this tumor. And the poor thing probably won't live more than a few weeks but we don't want him to be in pain so we're putting him to sleep when he starts showing pain. I don't know if I want to be there when he is. My mom said I could go, but I don't know if I would want to see him then, but I don't know if I'll regret not going? Help?
If you really love him, it's important that his last moments are with you, and not in the hands of strange vet.
I know what its like to not be there when a pet is put to sleep, and I wish that I could have been there.
I strongly suggest that when the time comes, you are with your cat as a comfort and support to him.
Does anyone know of anyone who is selling Pomeranian puppies around the Dallas/Fort Worth area?
First, CHECK THE LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER. You may not find a purebred, but there are tons of dogs that need a loving home. Secondly, check your local newspaper ads (ex. The Penny Saver or something like that). Sometimes they have whole sections devoted to puppies. I would suggest to try and not support the backyard breeders who don't take proper care of their dogs and to try and get a puppy from a reputable breeder. good luck ^^
I taught my dog sit and lay down. How do I teach her to roll over?
It takes many small steps. Put your dog in the "lay down" position. Then (with a treat) put your hand around the back of your dogs head so that they turn away from you towards the treat. Then, gently press the dog to the side while moving your hand with the treat in the same direction. If your dog is submissive he/she should have no problem lying on their side. (Note: just this part could be a seperate trick all itself, eg. "play dead"). Once your dog is able to smoothly lie down on his/her side, with a treat guiding the dog in the wanted direction, gently roll him/her over on his/her back. At that point, your dog will finish the roll. Then give him/her the treat. While you're rolling the dog over you should be stating your commant "Roll Over". You'll have to repeat this process a lot so be patient and if it takes a few weeks, don't be surprised, and don't rush the dog. ^^
My 3 year old labrador retriever always gets awful ear infections. They smell terrible and she's constantly itching and shaking her head. I've taken her to the vet many times and recieved medication, but the infection keeps coming back. How can I clear them up without having to go to a vet every time she gets one and how can I prevent them?
This is similar to a cat my family had, it was some weird genetic thing that made him prone to ear infections. All you can do is make sure that you continue the treatment for the exact amount of time specified, and to clean your dogs ears often. =/ good luck ^^
Well i have this best fired and i used to like him a year ago and now i find out that he thinks that i like him again how do i get him to know that i dont like him?
There's this really big hole in your face (scientific name : mouth). It works really well in communicating information. =]
Do people define others upon their social status more so in middle school or high school? I know that there are so many more kids where i am going to go to high school next year, so wouldn't it be difficult to get to know everyone? thanks =]
Everything you hate about middle shool (defining people on their social status for example) gets ten times worse in high school. I lost half my soul freshman year. o-o;;;
well i REALLY want to dye my hair.but my mom says im not old enough (im almost 13) and how can i convince her to let me dye it? like i think she MITE let me get it done for my b-day but i dont think thts gonna happen.
Have you tried asking them to use non-permanent hair dye? If they allow that, and it turns out you really like the new color, then they may be more likely to allow regular dye. Also, try using a more "natural" hair dye that won't damage your hair, another element that may make it more likely for your parents to say yes (they can't say that it's bad for your hair).
Ok soo I really want to know what is the best acne wash.I dont have bad acne just mild. I tried Pro-Activ and it worked alright but not well. Everything else I tried really hasnt worked well on my skin. If you know of any good face washes or like cleansers let me know please.
Thanksss. =)
(wasnt sure what category this goes under but whatever.)
If your acne, although not bad, just doesn't seem to go away, I suggest going to your doctor. They can prescribe stronger skin medications which work better (usually) that store bought stuff. You can use medication and just wash your face with soap and water. =]
im another girl with a small chest who wants to increase her breast size. all my girl cusins are bigger then me and there the same age [13] they're B's C's while i barely fit into a size A. I mean i have a boyfriend and everything and he doesn't care what size I am but I just feel I would have more self esteem with a bigger size. My boobs started to grow at age 10 and i got my period at age 11 so i thought i'd have boobs by now but thats not the case. Will they grow if i eat certain foods? or take birth control pills? [thats what i've been told] BTW dont tell me patience and to wait if you answer with that you have not helped at all k thnx
Join the club. This is common.. a lot of girls and women are like this. I don't think eating any foods will increase your breast size. Gaining weight will, but that will increase your whole body size. xD Just get like padded bras or something; its a simple solution that doesn't require you to actually change your body. I personally think that you shouldn't do anything and just be proud at being smaller, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. =]
Hey. Well I'm thirteena and in seventh grade and I like someone who's14 in 8th. See, I don't know if I like him or not. Becuase like, somedays, [when I was going out with him] I'd be thinking and I'd just be like "Uhg, I really don't wanna be with him." Then other days I really like him. What's wrong with me?
Nothing's wrong with you. Depending on your mood (and hormone levels-- middle school and high school is like.. all the result of crazy teens with an overwhelming amount of sex hormones) you may be pessimistic or optimistic on your views to him. Another possible answer is that your mind says that you don't want to be with him, but your hormones say that you do. XD Welcome to the teen years.
Why is it if someone who is thin looks unwell if they are drawn (tired, gaunt, haggard) but after they relax for a day or a week they look good again
Just like going for a long time without sleep makes you look unwell, so does being underweight. They both have to do with the energy in your body. To be healthy your body must maintain a certain level of energy, energy which we get by eating, sleeping, and drinking (water XD). If you take one of those things away your body is no longer balanced. Someone who is underweight can somewhat make up their loss of energy (loss of food) by sleeping/resting more often, giving them a healthy appearence once more. Still, if someone's weight is affecting their appearence to a point of it being very noticible, this is a sign that they are at an unhealthy weight which needs to be dealt with.
whats an orgasm?
To put it in a simple, scientific, unintersting way; a muscle spasm.
I always am thinking about food, even if i'm not the leastbit hungry. I always want to be eating. CAn you please tell me some good ways to keep food off my mind.
This happens to me sometimes to. xD Like someone previously said, join a sport or some other activity that gets you really involved in doing something, it could even be as easy as doing some artwork like sketching. It should be something fun interactive and fairly long lasting. You could also go somewhere away from food, like a friend's house or a walk in the park. People usually don't do much in their home besides sleeping, watching tv, and eating. For example; for many people it becomes a habit to walk into their house and immediately open the fridge, even if their not hungry. So taking yourself away from the home environment helps a whole lot.
Is Anger Management for pysical anger only or mentally? Because I'm angry and furious all the time but I don't hit things or yell at all, I just keep it all in and I want to take Anger Management classes to help me with it cuz holding it all in gives me a head ache and I can't sleep.
I believe it is for both. Mental and physical, they're both anger. Anger management isn't about how you're angry, it's more about dealing with stressors, and figuring out what's frustrating you in life. Going to a psychologist/therapist would help equally if you prefer that.
my friend recommended me a lot of professors for me to take..but how do you get to actually sign up for the teacher you want? [im not even in college yet..i will be in the summer]
There's usually a catelog or "Class Schedule" that lists all of the classes that will be available. They are listed by subject, so whatever subject your professor teaches just look it up and search for their name. Once you know what class you want to take you should go sign up for it. Depending on what college you're at (I'm currently at CSULA) you register in different ways. For example, at Cal State LA you register online. You get an online account username and password, then you just login and add whatever classes you want to take. The whole process is pretty simple so I wouldn't stress over it. ^_^
