Hey! I'm Tiffany. I'm a 15 year old female. I absolutely love God and Jesus, my savior. I love music. In fact, I love to sing. That's why I'm a proud member of choir, and some would consider me a choir nerd. Actually, I consider myself a choir nerd. I love playing with animals, especially my cute little gerbil Sparky (also known as Sparkito, Spark, Sparks, and many more). I try to give my best advice! :)

My sister asked me to ask the following question since she is too young to go on this site...
My sister got a gerbial(YUCK!) but anyways.. she doesnt know what to name it! Its a brownish/tan Male.
Could someone give us some idea's for my sisters pet???


-Luv-
Meg


P.S. Please no websites. (link)
I think I answered your sister's question, but anyway I have a gerbil just like that. If you ever need help with it, I have 2 gerbils and can probably help.

Anyways: Rascal, Squeaks, Scritch, things along that line.

Also, Cinnamon, Vanilla, etc.

Oh, I forgot the best name of all :Mini Me!

~*Tiffany*~


Which name do you guys like best? The gerbal is tanish brown and is a male. Which names do you guys like ?

Cinniniman
Nibbles
Co-Co


(link)
AWWW!! I have gerbil just like that.... I think Cinnamon is the best name in that list. Nibbles sounds a bit too girly for a male.

Have fun with your new gerbil! If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask me, as I have 2 gerbils.

Right now, there is thunder and lightning outside and my dog is freaking out. He is a 2 year old Shih-tzu. I'm trying to calm him down by talking to him and cuddling him but he just keeps shaking and panting and crying. He is shaking so bad it's making this hard to type. Does anyone know of a good way to calm my dog down a bit more? I feel so bad that I can't do anything else for him. =( (link)
Aww,

well I would just be with him and take him to somewhere where he can't see the lighting and hopefully can't here the thunder. Make sure it's a well lighted place and give him a treat.

i have a cute little pomeranian and she is only 7 months old when she goese out side through the dog door she eats dog poop she comes in and has poop alover her paws and allover her mouth i try to get mad mad at her but she is so cute and gives this sad look on her face i dont know what i should do

love BRITTANY (link)
Brittany,

If you want to solve this problem you need to get over you're dogs face. Try putting her on a leash when you let her out and follow her around and when she starts to eat the poop say NO sharply and tug on the leash. Do this until she stops. It should work. Also, if she avoids it, reward her with a treat that she likes.

Good luck,
~*Tiffany*~

Take him to the vet, likely only a vet can help.

I wish I could help, but likely most people on this site aren't qualified to answer such a question.

Hi im 13 and i love horses. I cant stand not seeing them. I realy want one of my own. me and my family live in the city (there are no Horses aloud) and i ride at a lesson place 15 mins away. i only get to ride once every other week. I want to see them more often. Please help.



Note: please dont say make some more money I am only 13.

From: Horsegirl (link)
Ask if you can ride more often, and ask people at the stable if you can volenteer there. Then ask your parents.


Good Luck,

~*Tiffany*~


ok so i am going to breed gerbils. I was wondering is there any good websites with pics. and info on gerbils!i rate high!
thanx! (link)
Google gerbil.


does anyone know a good breed of dog that is low maintenence and cheap (link)
Not many dogs are cheap...but smaller dogs are normally a little more low maintenence.

Try a:

Papillon
Lhasa Apso
Shih Tzu

:)GoodLuck:)


Ok,here goes: My friends and I are starting a dog sitting biz but now I'm not sure we can get any customers cause none of us live in a neighborhood and no one wants to drive so far to my house. And the moneys for a really good cose! Any one have any ideas to get customers or raise money? (theres only 3 of us so no car washes,too hard!)
Please don't delete!I will rate! Thanx for your help!
~*Tiffany*~ (link)
Hey, that's really weird, we sign our names the same way, and we have the same name. Anyway, you can raise money with garage/ yard sales, and even a carwash (even though I know you said none) because me and my friend did one and we made a lot of money, even though it was just us. And it is easier to start a dog sitting business if you know a few customers already. If they like you, they will spread the word.

Anyways, good luck,

I have a problem my dog, just recently died and so we got a new puppy Razberry. But as he has gotten older he has become vicious. I just go into the backyard to try to play with him after school and i throw a ball or two. Then I go check if he needs more water in his bowl or not. But then out of the blew he jumps up bites me really hard in the back then I turn around and he bites me in the leg which leaves a scratch and a popping out bruise. Then i try to get away from him and out of the backyard but he keeps biting me. This has been happening for a while now and I dont know what to do to make him stop. I love my puppy and I dont want to give him away. He can be soo sweet to me and i can just tell in his eyes that he loves me too. I think he is just trying to play but doesn't know when to stop. I just would like any suggestions on something I could do to understand that biting me like that is wrong and it hurts. I have tried disciplining him but then he becomes more vicious and bites more. Please help me!
thnx a bunch! (link)
You need to make sure you get this dog trained. Trainers can solve problems like that easily.

Good luck,

My mouse is obese. I don't know what to do--I put her in an exercise ball and she just sat there (I don't think she knew what to do). I don't want to give her less food because I'm afraid she'll starve. What can I do to make my mouse lose weight? note--I've tried gerbil wheels on other mice, but they sometimes get caught and die so I'm afraid to use it. (link)
You could try giving your mouse less fatty things like sunflower seeds. Also, gerbil wheels could be used if they don't have any openings.


Can I Give My Kitten Infants Tylenol? (link)
NOOO!

If there are any cat experts out there, I need your help! My cat has constantly been throwing up her food twice a day for almost a week! (She's not bulimic!LOL)What's wrong??? I rate 5's! (link)
I don't know what is wrong with her, but I would take her to the vet


okay... my dog died about a couple months ago.. and i'm getting a new dog this summer.... but don't know what kind of dog to get..if anyone knows a good dog to get... can you tell me??

also... i kinda want a small dog* thanks

(link)
Papillons are very smart dogs, and very small as well.

Also, Lhasa Apso's are very smart and don't shed alot.


What kind of dog would you reccomend that is small and you don't have to worry much about its hair? (link)
Lhasa Apso.

They don't shed much. At all.


I have a ferret. He is so cute and I love him to bits. He's about 10 months old now, but all he likes to eat is his ferret food! He won't eat chicken or anything else! Should he be eating a more varied diet, other than his ferret food? If so, how do I get him to accept new foods? (link)
If he likes his ferret food, I say let him eat it.


my cat constantly follows me and everytime i sit down she comes to sit on top of me.. i will get up andmove somewhere else but she still sits on me.. i push her away but 2 minutes later she comes up again.. i know its cute and everything but it just really annoys me sometimes.. does anyone elses cats do this.. how do you get them to stop
(link)
If she's annoying you, I would just ignore her. Eventually she should get bored and find something else to do.
