gemma_florida asked:


He got them out of the pond last night and put them in a separate tub, they are lying on their sides, still breathing, at the bottom of the tub – what could be wrong, they can’t seem to get themselves upright?
It already has AN AIR PUMP IN IT
Both the pond and the tub have air pumps
The pond is well established with other fish in (they all have enough room, not cramped together), but it’s just these two that seem to have something wrong. They look dead but are occasionally breathing

Linzy Lou asked:


I have a 10 week old female boxer. She has been really good since we got her, she hasnt cried for her mother or littermates at all, she sleeps downstairs in her bed with a puppy heatpad. She goes to the back door when she wants to go out but just lately she has been having a few accidents inside, i know this is understandable as she is young but i was wondering if it could be because it is cold and wet outside and she doesnt like it?
She is also very hyperactive, jumping up at everyone and on furniture, i dont know if its best to ignore it or firmly tell her NO!
She has a habit of chasing my feet and biting them, i dont know what to do????

afri_rican1976 asked:


Tomorrow I will be bringing home 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and I plan on crate training them. I also was going to use the puppy pads OUTSIDE of the home when I take them out for their potty breaks to teach them that it is appropriate to eliminate outside instead of inside of my home. Is this a good idea? Please understand that the pads are not going to be used inside of the crates or my home. Only when I take them outside to the spot where I want them to eliminate outside the home! Please let me know if this is a good idea! Thanks in advance!

trev1690gers asked:


I’m needing plants/shrubs that can be planted in large planters. The reason I require these is to create shade for my Koi pond to aid in getting rid of unwanted Algae growth.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
