What if an adopted dog doesn

I am not one to make hasty choices in life but for some reason the other day I feel in love with a puppy in front of a store that were adopting dogs out. I though about it all day and spoke to my boyfriend about it, came to the conclusion to get the dog. After tracking this dog down the next day I adopted an adorable 10 week old puppy. The guy at the shelter told me that the dog was shy, loved water and was a food hog. The dog is not shy to any one which is great, but when I gave him a bath he was terrified of the water, and when I try to feed him by hand to get his training underway he won

When baby birds leave the nest and learn to fly, do they ever see their parents again?

Particularly barn swallows.
Yes the parents will stay around and still feed them until they learn to be independent. They also teach them all the essential life skills such as hunting for food and to recognise predators.
maybe...
duh holiday get-togethers!
Yeah, I had a couple of birds live right next to my front door. We saw them grow from eggs to full grown birds. after they flew they came back to the nest a couple times but they left very soon after. Even the parents left the nest after and built is some where else. We still see birds come to our house and we think they might be the ones born here. they seem very comfortable.
if they do see them it does not matter. they just go about their business, they are not like people. they only care about having babies when they leave the nest then they just have more babies.

What to do with law breaking neighbour?

Young fellow moved into our tiny village with a two Rottweiler dogs knowing full well we are a BSL (breed specific legislation) enforced municipality. And this was voted in by all 225 members of the community. He was eventually convinced to remove the dogs from his property but he keeps bringing them back on weekends when our local bylaw people are absent.

We have no animal enforcement and the RCMP are 45 minutes away and too busy for dog calls on weekends. How do we stop this person from bringing his dogs back repeatedly.

What frog species bite.?

What frog species that are kept as pets have a painful bite. I know most frogs have teeth, i just wanted to know which ones might you have experienced that actually hurt when they bite. Please give me as many as you can think of.
Frogs do not have teeth such as ours for eating, and are forced to swallow food as a result. They actually have some complex muscles that they use to push their food down, including their eyeballs. Frogs may be tempted to go for fingers that are wiggling as they resemble worms, but these will only be the larger frogs such as Bullfrogs, Pacman Frogs, and Chubby Frogs.
No frog bites. I dont know a single species that would even hurt if they bit you. maybe a pacman frog but still, I dont even think that would hurt your skin. I

Having trouble getting the dog to go to the Bathroom in a new neighborhood?

Hi, I recently moved from a house with a (Semi) fenced in yard and we used a Shock collar type thing that would go off if my dog ever left the yard. Needless to say i was able to leave him outside for extended periods without worrying.



Now i have moved to a yard where the front and back yards are seperated(and not fenced in) so i cannot successfully use a shock collar. So i am having to walk him everywhere. I have a Woodland-type area right behind my back yard which i have been able to let him off the leash and he can do what he needs to, but recently he has stopped going to the bathroom when i let him off, and he is starting to run after animals ( i almost lost him today).



When i try to walk him up and down a street it usually takes a good 15 ( On a good day) or more minutes for him to go #2. Is there any easy solution to make him more comfortable using the bathroom in my own yard so i dont have to go on extended walks everytime he needs to go?



-Someone suggested to me making scheduled times to take him out.



*I have tried out-side leashes than i can put in the ground and can roam around a bit, but due to the amount of trees in the woodland part of my backyard he always gets tangled up, and he doesnt feel (or in 4 years i havent seen him) comfortable going #2 out in the open.
Outside leashes are a terrible idea. We tried that with our dogs. We had one hang herself on accident. Don

Is he worth it? I cant do this!!!?

I kept asking my dad to get me a horse and he finally did. We live on a ranch and all the horses are his,not mine. He gave me a 4 year old 15.2 hand buckskin mustang gelding straight from the mustang rescues.He told me that if I wanted a horse that I wasnt going to be spoiled like all the other so called riders and go out and buy a horse thats already broke and ready to go.He told me that I had to train and break the horse myself.I am 19 years old and lived around horses my entire life. I know how to work with them and break them.The problem is that this horse is absolutely insane! He goes crazy when anyone gets near him.He wont let anyone touch him.I dont even think he is trainable! If I say forget it and go buy a already broke horse,I wont be allowed back on the ranch(thats how it goes around here).I will be considered spoiled and my family will hate me. Would this horse be worth it? I dont know what to do!
Holy crap you do have problems. I know what you mean when you say your dealing with out of control horses.

Do you break a horse in bareback or saddled?

So I personally would never break a horse in bareback. for one if it actually bucked I would fall off no doubt, plus I would just be that much more nervous when I got on. I just broke my first horse in the other day, I would drape myself over him and stuff before I put a saddle on him, but I would never actually sit or lay on him. then when we put the saddle on I did the same thing before half mounting and stroking his neck. When he was calm with this I would practice mounting and dismounting. Plus if he actually took off bucking I could stay on, not pull a muscle and not be able to get back on if I had been bareback. I keep seeing so much stuff about how people break their horses in bareback. I don

What happens when a bird dies?

i was sitting in my backyard and a blue jay that seemed injured had been under a tree most the day,and various blue birds came and went throughout the day then a little while ago he tilted his head back ,flapped his wings, and fell over and never moved again so we are gonna bury him but was wondering if this is normal
Death is very normal. You said he seemed injured. He might have been - hitting a window, a car, been hit by a hawk and escaped. He might also have been ill. Go ahead and bury him, but yes, this is very normal.



Most birds that die like this are never seen or found and within a few days or weeks at most, they are recycled by beetles, bacteria, other animals, etc. Perfectly normal, or we

How can I get my cat to stop drinking from the toilet?

I give him fresh water every day but he chooses not to drink it. Instead, he waltzes over to the bathroom and drinks the toilet water. What should I do to get him to stop?
my cat does the same thing but she drinks from the fish tank. its been 3 years and she just wont drink out of her dish. I suggest you just always remember to flush and keep your toilet clean. I had to stop putting chemicals in my tank and constantly replace my filters because if a cat doesnt want to do something you cant make them do it.
close the lid... he drinks it because its cold from the material that your toilet is made of so maybe put an ice cube in his water?
Close the lid...
Hi there.

Once you see your cat drink out of the toilet again, one thing you can do is as soon as you see him do it, you spray him with water. :)

Three reef questions!!! 10 pts?

So I got two questions:

1.) it is starting to look like my poor clown fish is getting a case of mouth fungus. Is melafix safe to use in a reef, or do you have other better suggestions.

2.) The next one is, if I have live rock in my sump, if I put some dead coral skeletons with it, will it become live rock too?

3.) How much live rock should I have in a 55 gallon tank and a 20 gallon sump in total?

Thank you for dealing with my noob reef questions, and thanks for your answers!
1. The maker of Melafix says it is safe for marine aquaria, including reef tanks, and I take them at their word in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

2. Dead rocks (such as coral skeletons) will eventually become live rocks if they are kept together with live rocks. They won

Liveaquaria.com ground shipping, is it safe?

I want to buy some fish off of liveaquaria.com but right now I can only afford the ground shipping. Has anyone had successful results with ground shipping off of liveaquaria.com. If not then can someone tell me a safe(as in the fish will not be DOA) and cheap way to order fish off of liveaquaria.com with out getting nailed with the expensive shipping.



Main thing has anyone had successful ground shipping off of liveaquaria.com



Another thing, if the fish were DOA could i get a refund on my fish. Should I take pictures as proof.
Are you sure they will ship live fish by ground?

The only shippers of live fish I know of will only ship by air.



Yes, if you do order and any fish or other animals arrive in less than good condition, you should definitely take photos. First photograph the outside of the package and the shipping labels (and show any damage to the package, if there is any), then the opened package with the fish bags inside, then the fish themselves. You get the idea.
most reputable online fish dealers will not ship fish unless its nxt day air.
I have ordered fish from Foster and Smith`s Liveaquaria several times and not one as arrived dead.

The American Pit Bull Terrier in its original form is the better dog.Its conformation and temperament are true to what the breed was developed to be.The AmStaff is a shell of its former self.



Here is the difference:

These two breeds were once the same.The APBT was first registered in 1898 by the UKC.In 1936 the AKC first registered the Staffordshire Terrier,which later was renamed American Staffordshire Terrier.The AKC didn

Riding Sponsorship...How Good Do You Have To Be?

I was just wondering what level of riding you have to be at for a small sponsorship not for Devocoux or anything, but somehting smaller. I would also like to hear if you have been sponsorship how you got it and what you had to do. Thanks!
Yes, you have to be good. Also, you have to be willing to promote the business or product that is sponsoring you.



Most businesses are willing to be sponsors because it allows them to market to a group of people who will want to buy their product. So if you are a successful rider and you use XYZ feed, then people will see this and may also want to feed XYZ to their horses to see if it can help them be successful.



Remember that sponsorships are not donations. Sponsorships are marketing opportunities for whoever is interested in being a sponsor.



Find a small feed store or a new product that is looking to get more exposure. Is there a local woman making/selling her own horse cookies? She may be willing to sponsor you if you have her logo on your saddle pad. Think small to get started.
You have to do different programs. For example, USHJA has young rider development programs that you can get noticed for a sponsor through. You need a good trainer too. Sponsors lean towards riders that will actually win and having a good trainer increases that. You only get a sponsor if you are super competitive. You have to show at all the big shows.



To help get a sponsorship I recommend getting your name noticed in the equestrian world by catch riding at shows and showing in the equitation. Good riding pays off to good sponsorships.



So in other words you have to be beyond good, You have to already have the money to get competitive to get looked at by a sponsor.

How do I know if my dog is able to have puppies?

I have a dog. She is about 9 months old. She is part dachshund and terrier. How do I know if she is able to have puppies normally? And how long will she be pregnant before we should start watching for her to have them?
Let me start with first question . While it is not a hard rule, most females come into their first heat cycle around six months of age, although I have had girls wait as long as one to one and a half years old. While many females will hold to a fairly steady schedule of coming into season about every six months, it really can vary. Some girls will only come in once year, while others may even come in every four months, but often these
