All right. Here's what the problem is: I really really really really want a dog. I've always (since I was born. Literally.) loved dogs with all my heart. But we've always rented houses which didn't allow dogs. Now we finally bought a house and my mom still refuses to get a dog. She nor anyone understand how much I really need a dog. You may be sitting here reading this thinking, Oh poor little spoiled girl. Her mom won't get her a dog boohoo. But the problem with that is, I'm not spoiled. I never ask for anything and when I do, I don't get it.

Just please, do you guys have any ideas on how to get my mom to let me get a dog? I've already tried basically everything, hence why I came to advicenators. I'm willing to try anything.

I've already listed off the reasons why I should get a dog, proved how well I can take care of one, and found the perfect dog for the family online. I'm just hoping you guys would have some better ideas. :/ (link)
try making a deal with her. thats how i got a laptop, straight A's for a whole year.
try doing something like that.

good luck & hoped i helped :)

does anyone give their parakeets harrison's bird food? (link)
i give mine an animal planet brand.
they love it.
i get it from target.
sorry if this is no help at all.


2 weeks ago i picked up a box of 7 kittens and a mama cat that were on the side of the road. 4 of them looked to be about 5 weeks old and the other 3 looked like they were from an earlier litter of kittens theyre about 3 months. they were fine just a little scared and malnourished and they're coming along great now.
im worried about the mama kitty. she is nursing the younger kittens and i think she was pregnant when i brought them home but im not sure. maybe shes just getting fatter now that shes being fed?
how do you tell is shes pregnant and what do i feed her and how do i take care of her if she is?
shes a tiny cat but its her stomach thats getting bigger it seems to me.
any help would be great
thankyou! (link)

and i HIGHLY recommend that if she is not pregnant right now get her spayed after the kittens stop feeding from her.
if you don't have that kind of money laying around you can take her to a clinic to do it for less. you just have to search around your area.

why do dogs, especially large dogs, always stick their penises out? i find it very gross. (link)
because they are "happy". =]


can cats get strep? (link)
im not totally sure if they can actually get strep but they are carriers of it which means they can give it to humans.

hope i helped :]

I have 2 guinea pigs; One male (now 1yr plus) and one female (now 10mths). We've put them tgt for about 3 mths already but the female doesn't seem to be pregnant at all. I've seen the male humping her. Sometimes the female doesnt move while humping but most of the time she keeps jumping up and running away whenever the male goes near her butt cos she's rather jumpy bout people touching her butt.

The female guinea has most of the signs of pregnancy such as salivating a lot, craving for lots of fresh greens but then she has been like that even before mating with the male. Her stomach doesn't seem rounder or bigger although she kinda looks fatter around her butt.

1) Can someone tell me if she's really pregnant and what are the other signs that shows she's pregnant?
2) Can we still continue to put the two of them tgt forever? (link)
i had gerbils & i thought both of the were girls but one was a boy and got the girl pregnant & i never knew it was pregnant untill i saw like 8 little babies laying down one day. so she probably is pregnant its just hard to tell with guinea pigs and other rodents because they are so small.
& i'd say after the first or second litter to seperate them. & just to be safe seperate the male from the babies.

hope i helped =]

I was woundering,
can you breed fish in a 10 gallon tank?
and if so what fish would be the best to breed?
I wasd thinking anglefish but I dont know if the eggs will survive.
and also, How can I keep the eggs alive?
I am going to have diffrent breeds of fish of corse I will ask the clurk or a guy at the store if they would get along first. and if they do. Will the diffrent breed of fish try to eat the eggs?? I also dont know how to sepperate the other breeds if they DO try to eat them. and my last question.-
who should stay with the eggs?
I know the mother should. But should the father too? (if there's any othjer info i should know about breeding fish please let me know) (link)

My puppy is almost 9 months and we can't potty train her! We've tried everything! We take her out every hour, or half hour. Sometimes shell go outside for three days then out-of-the-blue go on the floor! HELP! (link)
The most effective way to potty train a dog is to crate train it.

Heres is a site explaining how to crate train a puppy.

Here are some tips for housetraining dogs
http://perfectpaws.com/htra.html

But if she goes to the bathroom at night, then you should set up pads like these where she pees so you won't have big of a mess.
http://www.healthypets.com/simplediapers.html

These might come in handy too, they are bitch britches. My dog uses belly bands, because hes just a plain retard =] But the dog won't like sitting around in its own pee so it will want to use the bathroom outside.

does anybody know if Chinchillas make good pets?
and does anybody know about taking care of them:
grooming
diet
etc.

thanks! (link)
Chinchillas make great pets.
To groom them use dry bath powder found at pet stores made especially for small animals.

and they eat and need Pellets, Hay, Supplements (including "treats")and Water.

Well I have a hamster named mini &+ a mouse named friedrich. Well I went campinq for a weekend &+ when I came back my hamster qot REALLY fat. I dont normally play with him that much to where two days would make him that fat so what do you thinks wronq ? what should i do because I am in four-h &+ i show him at fair. Like what could I do to make him lose weiqht? (link)
If he all of a sudden got fat, he might have gotten pregnant? Some pet shops get hes confused with shes. Thats what happened one time they accidently gave me a girl instead of a boy and it got pregnant.

But try to cut down on food just a little bit and try to let it excersise more.
