my fish


Posted Saturday October 25 2008, 11:00 am

I have 3 goldfish, all fantails.
The Black one has not been swimming around the tank much this week, just staying at the bottom. This morning it has just been laying on the rocks at the bottom with it's head hidden.
My mum thinks that it might be pregnant but I'm not too sure.
I'm going to get the water tested now just to check if it's not that causing the problem but if anyone knows what these symptoms may mean, please help :)

Just got a new dog but I dont think I can keep it..


Posted Monday October 13 2008, 5:22 pm

So i just got a new dog yesterday! I love it we adopted it and it is so cute. Its names is Lily. Anyways we also have a cat that we have had for 16 years. currently we have the dog in a cage in the garage b.c that is what the lady said to do becuase it is not house trained. so today to try it out we brought lily in the house and my cat freaked out. he started hissing and crying and almost attacked lily. What should we do to get the cat adjusted to lily. I want to bring lily inside so she doesnt have to sleep in the garage.

Posted Tuesday October 7 2008, 10:58 pm

okay, so i have 3 cats. one female, two males. well my female i've had for almost 5 years. my two males ive had for like 3. well, once i brought in my two males cats my female cat started using the carpet as the bathroom. now its like a daily thing for her and the males began doing it as well. i know they do it now because the smell is there and everything. well i was wondering how to get them to stop?? like i know cats dont like moth balls.

Clumsy Snake


Posted Monday October 6 2008, 2:50 pm

My roommate and I just got a girl snake. She's so cute! She's merely 7 inches, so tiny! She's very clumsy, has a pointy nose, and likes to dig. We need a very very creative name for her, but we can't come up with anything! Any ideas?

My dog is chewing everything! Training /discipline Help? :(


Posted Friday October 3 2008, 6:40 pm

My dog : http://i35.tinypic.com/e0llc8.jpg

She's only 8 months, and i know you have to discipline/train a puppy so i was just wondering if there's an effective quick solution to her problems. She's very hyperactive and when we leave her alone she barks, cries, poops/pees on the carpet, and most importantly: she destroys anything in sight of her. At night we have to keep her in the cage, in the day we have to keep her outside. I hate it, especially since we're close to winter. Me and my dad are most likely going to fight about this. He's already yelled at me for what she did last time (She tore of some of the old couch from the basement). He told me next time it happens he's going to take the dog away:(

So, anyb...

Do cats like variety in their cat food? Iams has a variety of flavors...


Posted Tuesday September 30 2008, 8:31 am

I have a Maine Coon cat and I've been feeding him Iams cat food since I found some Iams printable coupons online. He's my first Maine Coon cat (well, really my first cat) and when I went to the store I noticed that Iams had a variety of different cat food flavors. It made me very curious about what cats like to eat.

The Iams printable coupons I have do not specify which flavor I have to buy to get a discount (or free bag in a few cases) so I'm not limited to one particular flavor of Iams cat food. I really just want to make my Main Coon cat happy and healthy.

So, I was thinking about my Maine Coon cat and how I'd feel if I had to eat the same cat food every day. Basically what I want to know is if I should ...

Potty Training my puppies!!!!


Posted Sunday September 28 2008, 9:08 pm

I have 2 puppies, both around 3 months old that I am having the hardest time training them to go to the bathroom outside. I was reading on a website that some people litter train their puppies as well. I was wondering if anyone had tried that and been successful with it. Or some tips on how to get them to want to use it. Thank you.


Also, once I get them to use it, then do I break them out of it when they get older or do I continue to let them use it or what?..

When should you get a puppy/dog microchipped?


Posted Monday September 22 2008, 5:54 am

My neighbor's Labrador Retriever just had a litter of Labrador Retriever puppies and she wants to have the puppies microchipped but doesn't know when she should have it done. I've heard a few people tell me the right time is when the dog gets spayed or neutered, but the breeder I got one of my Great Danes from had the puppy microchipped before I even bought her (at about 10 weeks old). I was thinking that maybe it was based on breed side and this is why it differed. Does anyone know when the ideal time to get a dog microchipped is?

puppy peeing clear and a lot


Posted Saturday September 20 2008, 11:54 am

We just got a black lab/boxer mix. He is a great boy, very friendly and seems perfectly healthy. We just got him 4 days ago, and at first he wouldn't eat or drink and now he is a little more settled and he is eating and drinking normal amounts.
My problem is randomly in the house he will pee clear, and its a lot. Like he just lets loose, he doesn't lift his leg he just stands there or he will keep walking. It has no odor, and it looks like water.
Do you think he is drinking to much, or something else? He plays fine, only cries when he is not being pet, he doesn't cry or anything when he pee's. Please let me help me, what do you think??

Kitty cat :(


Posted Friday September 19 2008, 1:18 pm

My cat is now about two years old.
We've had him for a year and a half.
He's very house trained, he uses his litter box, doesn't scratch furniture etc.
Recently he didn't really want to eat anything, but now he's eating fine again and all is ok.
The thing is though that he keeps peeing in random places. Like once on the side of our sofa, then in the corner of our island counter in the kitchen, in the middle of my parent's bathroom, middle of a carpet, etc.
He still uses the litter box but I'm worried.
He's never peed anywhere else in the house.
The only things that could affect him could be the fact that we moved houses, but that was at the end of April...and he adjusted quickly.
Also ...

Norwegian forest cat and lovebrid


Posted Wednesday September 17 2008, 5:57 pm

My guy has a norwegian forest cat and I would like to get a lovebird. His cat is very much to herself, she mostly hangs out and prowls around in curiosity. I am planning on getting a hanging cage, for when we are out of town or at work, so there won't be a problem when we are not in the house. I have heard from many people that cats and birds can live together in harmony. I just wanted to know if any of you out there have cats and birds and how they are together. If you do what did you do to train them to get along together and what kind of situations do you run into. Does that cat saliva killing the bird apply to lovebirds too? Fill me in...thank you.

Housebreaking: puppy peeing


Posted Monday September 8 2008, 9:08 am

Female puppy, neutered, 15-16 weeks old. Mostly housebroken. 2nd floor apartment. Why does she (erratically) choose to pee inside? Two days ago, I walked her for 30 minutes, then she played 10 minutes in yard with her downstairs dog friend. They both charged upstairs and she peed once she arrived at the top. Yesterday, she dozed under the table while my wife and I played Monopoly. I went to the bathroom: she came in for a scratch & petting, then took 2 steps, squatted and peed. She had several outdoor opportunities while we played. What would make her want to do this?
