A lot of people, including trainers and behaviorists, use the term "seperation anxiety" inappropriately.

From a purely psychological point of view, seperation anxiety is an infant's fear of losing ...

I forgot one thing. It was mentioned that it may be seperation anxiety. Doubtful. Seperation anxiety is a bit different. We see it at the grooming shop all the time. Dogs become anxious because they k ...

It's always a good idea to have a vet check whenever a dog has a sudden change in behavior, like breaking housetraining. But you also need to examine what has been going on in your household just prio ...

Loosing/cutting teeth shouldn't make a puppy feel ill. I think my major concern if this were my pup is that while he's been chewing on things to ease the pain of teething, he may have swallowed someth ...

I'm going to be moving to a new home in about a month, and need advice on the best way to transport my fish. I have glass cats, dwarf Australian Rainbows, silver mollies, and a 7 inch chinese algea ea ...

Your pics remind me so much of my two dachshunds, only they're smaller and easier to grab. Whiz only weighs 9 pounds, but he's a little devil, and the instigator of the two. Olsen is 28 pounds (he's a ...

One of the best ways I've found to stop dogs from bolting out the door or gate is to simply shut it in their face.

Oh gee, it just hit me. She looks like a Feist. Neat little dogs, natural squirrel hunters, and they climb trees.

I'd guess rat terrier or toy fox terrier mix.

I'd recommend you start with fresh water fish, too. I've always had good luck using zebra danios to cycle my aquariums. They're a lot more forgiving than live bearers.

I'm not making a suggestion as to what, if any, fish to add for algea control. As already mentioned, I don't have a clue what type of fish or how many may be in the tank already.
