Input: This is about my farrier, girls.


Input: That 's why I 'm posting here!


Input: Help?


Input: I posted this in singles and dating too, so I 've just copied and pasted.


Input: Well, I 'll try to make this short.


Input: I have known this guy for a long time, but we 've never been good friends or anything.


Input: He is my farrier (shoes my horse s feet) so I am technically a client if you want to view it that way.


Input: Well, almost two weeks ago he came out and did my horse s feet and was SO flirty.


Input: He always hugs me when he comes, but he gave me at least 5 tight, long, back rubbing hugs while he was there.


Input: We were also just talking about my horse 's crappy feet and he mentioned.


Input: "Well, if you ever just want to see me I 'll come out and look him over and then we can grab a coffee after."


Input: That has NEVER happened before so I was kinda realizing at that point that he was a little interested.


Input: Right??


Input: Anyway, so he ended up leaving one nail out of my horse s foot(I 've never heard of a farrier doing this) and telling me to call him in a few days(first it was a week, then it was a few days lol) and he 'd come back out and put it in.


Input: He told me to remember to call like 3 times before he left.


Input: So, I waited a week to call because I was busy and I wanted to have him come out on a day when I am more available in case we were to hang out after ;)


Input: Anyway, so that was 2 days ago that I called and left a message, but he still has n't called back yet.


Input: I do n't know if I should call him again tomorrow or not?


Input: I know a lot of people say to wait until he calls you, but it 's different because I 'm a client and technically that 's all I am at this point.


Input: On the other hand though, if I 'm a client he should really of called back by now because you do n't leave a customer hanging.


Input: He did n't have my number either because this was the first time I 've called HIM instead of his dad.


Input: It 's a father and son business.


Input: Anyway, I would appreciate ANY insight on this at all.


Input: Thank you for reading if you did! :)


Input: Ok, well as far as him being a bad farrier for leaving a nail out - That is not the case, they are extremely well known farriers in the area.


Input: I would be a lot more concerned if the shoe fell off because it was missing one lousy nail.


Input: The reason he said he did n't put that nail in was because he "did n't want to risk it" with my horse 's horrible feet.


Input: This is about the fourth time they 've done my horse 's feet because I just switched back to them.


Input: The only reason I switched away from them in the first place is because my good friend who apprenticed with them was starting out on his own.


Input: However, he left my horse without a shoe for TWO WEEKS(now that 's what I call a crap farrier).


Input: Which, I might add is the same foot that keeps crumbling with the nails.


Input: So, obviously I switched back to these guys.


Input: Ok, calm down, it 's not like he 's some stranger that came up and groped me lol.


Input: I 've known the guy for about 10 years.


Input: I am 21, so yeah we were both kids when we knew each other!


Input: He is a few years older than me.


Input: And yes, I do like him.


Input: To answer Barry White, yes that did occur to me :) I hope that is all he 's waiting for.

Barry White


Input: On the other hand, he could very easily just call me and say hey I 'm busy right now, I 'll call you when I can come out.


Input: And as far as scheduled visits go, I have no idea.


Input: I 've never done that before though either.


Input: It 's always just "Okay, they're feet need to be done, better call the farrier."


Input: And they usually come out within a few days.


Input: He will call you back I m sure!


Input: Sounds like He really likes you..


Input: But you need to ask yourself do you feel the same way?


Input: would You like going for *coffee* with him?


Input: or is he Not your type?


Input: Or are you undecided?


Input: If i were you I would Go...


Input: I would say if he does not call you back by friday call him again he could be playing hard to get?


Input: I think he left the Nail out of the shoe as a excuse to come back and see you hey he may be your Prince charming..


Input: Edit... I really do nt think Your horse Is in danger Of being hurt With one Nail missing..


Input: I have seen horses Loose Nails On there Own And do just fine with ONE nail gone Now if he had left out 2 or 3 I would be wondering to...


Input: I really do belive he left the nail out becuse of the horse s Hoof condition and It s a added bonus he would get to see her again


Input: When I was Younger In my early 20s My farrier was A hottie named Joby..( for those who do n't Know I AM A GIRL read my Bio on my Page) dumb as a post about everything But horses..

Joby


Input: He was In his 30s divorced and Had 2 kids.. but we both flirted Horribly with each other.. but neither one of us took the chance and Asked to other on a date. :(


Input: sort a wonder what it would have been like?


Input: But That was Years ago.


Input: He had this Habit of telling you Everything..


Input: Well one day he said to me You know i do n't wear Underwear as he was bent over Working on my Mare s Right front hoof.. and I was Like Ummmm okay???


Input: I m glad his butt was facing me so he could n't see my red face I think my Mare was even laughing..


Input: Well 6 weeks Later when he came back out He was again working on my mare s front Foot and I looked Down and Yeah he had Wholes In his pants In the wrong places I bust out Laughing and He was like what???


Input: I was like Ummmm i can see your ass cheeks...he was like Oops did i forget my Underwear???


Input: that was a strange way to flirt.. but i guss it was his way...


Input: But like i said nothing ever came of It.. the next time I saw him He had told Me he had To get married to a girl Who he worked with becuse he knocked Her Up..


Input: I was heartbroken.. but then realized He was not the Guy for me..


Input: Wow he does sound interested in you, my farrier never gives me hugs like that (probably a good thing as he has a wife and 2 kids) anyway, I find that they can be very busy so I would wait a week lo9nger and if still no reply give him a call but do n’t leave a message so you do n’t have to necessarily wait for him to call.


Input: From the point of view of a business, and client/operator relationships, he 's doing a really shitty job.


Input: Leaving nails out so you 'll call and have him come back out later?


Input: Cute or not, I 'd call a different bloke because he 's doing a sub-par job at something he needs to be doing his best at, whether he 's flirting or trying to ask you out or not, he ought to put quality first.


Input: This is, after all, his business, and if he wants you to remain a customer why on earth is he doing shoddy work?

Church Street


Input: It is full of gay friendly "everything".


Input: But, you could live where ever you fancy takes you.


Input: For obvious reasons, knowing how extremely difficult it is to drive a car in the city, you should probably try to be near the subway system.

Input: What would you get if you cross a sussex male and a silkie female?


Input: i had a sussex male and a pekin female i bought 2 silkies what would the sussex female and the silkie females would make ?


Input: if you had any pics of your hens i would like to see them to compare them to mine thanks?


Input: A Sussex crossed with Silkie would make a crossbred *mutt* chicken.


Input: There are a lot of genetics at play between a Sussex and Silkie, so the offspring would vary in appearance.


Input: You do n't say what color Silkie or Sussex you are dealing with so I ca n't say what color your chicks would be likely to be.


Input: However, I can say what features they would/could have.


Input: Feather Type.


Input: Silkies have hookless feathers.


Input: Sussexs have soft feathers.


Input: All offspring from this cross will have soft feathers, as hookless feathers are a recessive gene.


Input: Skin Color: Silkies have black skin color, which is dominate.


Input: Sussex have White Skin which could be recessive or dominate.


Input: Either way rec. and dom. white genes dilute the black gene.


Input: Skin will be darker but lighter then the Silkies.


Input: Beards/Muffs: If your Silkie has a beard/muff the offspring could have a beard as well, as these genes are incomplete dominate.


Input: Feathered Feet/Shanks- Chicks could have feathered feet/shanks as this is also incomplete dominate.


Input: Crest: Chicks could also develop a small crest due to this being another incomplete dominate gene.


Input: Comb Type: Silkies have walnut combs which is actually genetically two comb types (Rose and Pea) single is also there, but is recessive.


Input: So crossed to a Sussex you could get a walnut, pea, rose, or single combed bird.


Input: Five Toes: Silkies have five toes.


Input: Sussex have four toes.


Input: Crossed together (five toes is incompletely dominate) chicks could develop to have an fifth toe on both, or even one foot.


Input: Silkie crosses are great birds, and very neat looking.


Input: Hens make excellent mothers as they are bigger, can see better, and are smarter the Silkies.


Input: Best wishes,

Input: what r the requirements to apply for a delay birth certificate in canada?

canada


Input: what r the evidentary requirements to apply for a delay birth certificate in canada?

canada


Input: including fees and forms


Input: It depends on if you ever registered the birth.


Input: Some places do the registration right at the hospital....in some smaller places, you need to register your child 's birth at the town hall/registrar 's office.


Input: My first three children were born in Southern Ontario cities.

Southern Ontario


Input: The birth registration was done right in hospital.


Input: My last son, was born in Northern Ontario....

Northern Ontario


Input: I did n't know that I did n't register him in the ridiculous amount of paperwork I had filled out in the hospital and was supposed to go to city hall within 90 days.


Input: Two years later when I got around to filling for his birth certificate, I find out he was never registered.


Input: I had to call the Office of the Registrar General in Thunder Bay, have copies of the delayed registration form mailed out to me, as they do n't have an online area for it yet, fill those out, send them away, then apply for his birth certificate.

Thunder Bay


Input: If you are just applying for a birth certificate for the first time, it s simple to do it over the computer.


Input: For $56 you can even have it expedited and will get in three business days or your money back.


Input: This is in Ontario of course, the rates may be slightly different for other provinces/territories.

Ontario


Input: You just need basic information, and answer a few questions like what hospital was the child born at/who was the doctor....


Input: None, just walk in to the service office and present all the identification you have to prove your identity.


Input: they may then chose to ask you to bring more evidence, or just look up the record and hand you the certificate.


Input: You can probably do it all on-line.


Input: Start here if you were born in Ontario.

Ontario


Input: If you were born elsewhere, start here.


Input: Good luck


Input: My parents did n't send for my birth certificate until I was 16 and needed it for summer employment.


Input: It was no problem to get PROVIDED the birth was registered in the first place.


Input: I add that in because there have been some people who have tried to claim citizenship by sending for their birth certificate when they were never really born in Canada or to Canadian parents.

Canada


Input: When a child is born in Canada the birth is registered before the baby can leave the hospital.

Canada


Input: As long as that was done you can send for it at any time.


Input: Each provincial government has a website that lists the process for that Province so depending upon where you were born you can google it.


Input: Is a finch or a parakeet better?


Input: I am making a christmas list for my parents and i was going to ask for a bird and these are the affordable ones that i like, and i was wondering : which would not bite alot, and which are more fun to have as pets AND I NEED TO KNOW WHICH WOULD BE QUIETEST i honestly do nt care but my family does !


Input: Please help me!


Input: oh and please say y one is better thx!!!!!!


Input: Hi there,


Input: Please choose the parakeet...


Input: Here s my reason.....


Input: I did the same thing that you did for christmas.


Input: I ended up getting a pair of zebra finches for christmas.


Input: At first it was all cool and all.


Input: They were chirping and doing their every day business.


Input: After a couple of weeks I got tired of them.


Input: They are quite messy and you can not hold or pet them.


Input: I ve tried to tame them and they just would not get tamed.


Input: They do nt want to be held or touched.


Input: I want a bird that I can hold and do tricks.


Input: I still have them and they are doing well.


Input: A couple of months after I got parakeets/budgies.


Input: They are adorable they have beautiful colors and personality.


Input: I love them.


Input: First of all they are very tame.


Input: I tamed them in 4 days.


Input: They can do tricks and they are nt messy.


Input: The whole family loves them.


Input: My parents even plays with them.


Input: They are a big part of our family.


Input: I hope this helps you with your decision.


Input: They are both about the same noise level.


Input: When choosing a parakeet look for a young one.


Input: (the younger the eaiser to tame) Look for clean smooth feathers, beak, and clean vent feathers (the feathers around the butt..dirty vent feathers means the bird is not healthy) Look for a dark eye with no circles (the older ones have a circle ring in their eyes).


Input: Look for a lot of stripes in their head that starts from the beak and goes back to the back fo the bird.


Input: the stripes are like hair the less stipes the older.


Input: (think of a balding man lol) Look for clean feathers.


Input: If you want a boy the cere (the nostrils piece above the beak) must be blue.


Input: The girl has either pink or brown.


Input: I would recommend that you get two parakeets.


Input: But get either one male and one female, or two males.


Input: Do not get two females.


Input: They sometimes do nt get along (you know how some girls are lol hahahaahh but for real though, two girls tend to fight a lot.


Input: I have one yellow girl and a green and yellow boy.


Input: They are the best!


Input: If you choose to get a parakeet this is a trick that I used to tame them.


Input: However if you plan on getting one, then get more than one at the same time they need company.


Input: My mom told me how to tame them and I was very happy with the results.


Input: It took me 4 days to get the new one to be able to step on and eat out of my hand.


Input: These are the steps I used.


Input: Honestly they have worked for me twice with my parakeets.


Input: Hopefully they will work for you.


Input: 1) When you get the bird, place him or her or them in the cage.


Input: Leave them in there with food and water and such for about 2 hours.


Input: 2) Then place you hand in the cage.


Input: I took the cage and place it next to the couch.


Input: Then I sat on the couch, placed one hand in the cage, holding a millet spray.


Input: (this way the will associate your hand with food, and birds love food lol) Then I turned on the tv and watch.


Input: This way they will see that your hand is good and it s not going to grab them or hurt them.


Input: Do this for about one hour.


Input: (you can take breaks if you have too) and repeat the steps after about 2 hours.


Input: 3) After about day 2, they will start to eating the millet spray from your hand.


Input: (do not take away the food dish from the birds, they will associate you as the person who takes away their food)....


Input: Then take your finger and place it under their belly, in front of their feet and say up.


Input: Push you finger to their feet gently and say up.


Input: ( the first couple of times they will fly all over the cage but as long as you do nt jump back or screem they will get used to you) They will have no choice but to go on your finger.


Input: When they see that you ar nt harming them, the will go up on your finger when you say up.


Input: 4) If they are not going up by now you just got ta keep trying and keep trying.


Input: Do not hit, yell, or harm them.


Input: You have patience.


Input: Do nt give up!


Input: After a couple of weeks mines knows when I say shoulder it means ot go on my sholder, when I say up it means to jump up on my finger, when I say up and out it means up on my finger and out of the cage.


Input: and when I say go home it means to go in the cage.


Input: Good luck!


Input: They worked for me and I hope they worked for you!


Input: They are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Input: And that s my reason why you should choose a parakeet over a finch.


Input: a parakeet is friendlier


Input: Parakeet.


Input: They are normally quiet and it is easy to take care of them.


Input: They are also friendly.


Input: I have a parakeet named Cookie . :P


Input: What cleaners should I use for dusting around my parakeet?


Input: What cleaners can I use to dust around my budgie.


Input: Would pledge be ok?


Input: If not, what is?


Input: Your best bet would just be a swiffer duster -- they do n't require cleaner.


Input: If you must use a cleaner, pledge should be fine if the area that you keep your parakeet in is well ventilated.


Input: I have had parakeets for a VERY long time, and I use pledge.


Input: Just keep a window open for a while for fresh air to circulate.


Input: I agree w the answer from Nothing.


Input: Even a cotton cloth (I like diapers) that is barely damp w water will work fine.


Input: Swiffer or any type of micro-fiber cloth is excellent.


Input: I use Miracle Cloth, they 're fantastic, just do n't use fabric softener or dryer sheets when cleaning them, it ruins their "grabbing" ability.


Input: http://www.solutions.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1361&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C3%2C477&iProductID=1361 If anything you use has a strong or lingering fragrance it can bother or potentially injure the bird.


Input: Dwarf Hamster Making Too Much Noise On Wheel at Night?


Input: I 'm getting a dwarf Hamster tomorrow And i was just talking to my Mom and she said that we have to take out the wheel at night because it would disturb her sleep But i told her no because i said thei r energetic at night at my room is right next door to hers But i heard their are wheels that do nt make noise at all what would be the price of it?


Input: I 'm quite sure , you do n't even have to buy another , all you need to do , is to pour some oil on the wheel , or even put some rubber on it's edges , the part that is making the noise .


Input: That might work


Input: Super Pet Silent Spinner Exercise Wheel


Input: Our Price: $10.99 to 12.99 PETSMART!


Input: works well lasts long.


Input: I have a dwarf hamster who HATES his wheel and does n't use it -


Input: he makes so much MORE noise, as he plays and digs and jumps (seriously)


Input: wheels are relatively noiseless -


Input: a few squeaks from a wheel are better than the full wrath of a bored pet!


Input: I have a western pleasure appy that s really heavy on her left lead at the lope?


Input: My appy is very heavy on her left lead at the lope.


Input: She seems to lope one stride and trot the next and repeat...


Input: How could I work with her to get off her four hand,get balance, and lope smoothly and slowly??


Input: Put on a pair of spurs and before she makes that trot step, it 's in the feeling when you feel her think trot, tick her with the spur and lift with your body to keep her moving.


Input: If you concentrate on that feel just before the trot you can figure it out and the timing is essential to push her at that instant.


Input: Lope her to the left in circles, keep her head to the inside of the circle and push her but out, keep doing this if she breaks to a jog go a little bit bigger circle, till she can get enough balance to go small and small.circles

Rotarua


Input: Rotorua is fine.

Rotorua


Input: I 'm assuming this was in reference to the January earthquake, do n't worry, it was very deep, so nothing was effected :)


Input: As for Christchurch, yes the aftershocks are still happening, but these are fairly small - you can feel them, but the do n't do any damage.

Christchurch


Input: Since lots of people are still living there, then it must be fine to visit.


Input: However the CBD is closed of to the public as a lot of it is still rubble and stuff and has n't been cleared away yet.


Input: I 'm sure that you can find some hotels that are running in the christchurch area, but if not then there would be some in close by towns.

christchurch


Input: Despite the aftershocks I would recommend going to Christchurch, just for the experience and then you can see first hand how things get effected by earthquakes.

Christchurch

Input: What s your favorite part about trail riding?


Input: My favorite part is going up hill and cantering :)


Input: I love how it really depends on how good a horse your horse really is, not how talented he is.


Input: If you took some Olympic-level horses on a trail ride, they just could n't do it.


Input: They would be too scared and spooky.


Input: It does n't matter how graceful your horse is, or how high he can jump, or how well he does a sliding stop.


Input: What matters is how well trained he is, and how good your bond it.


Input: That is another reason why I like competitive trail riding also.


Input: Nobody pays someone to keep their horse in shape and rides once a week, then takes all the ribbons at the show because their horse is good.


Input: YOU have to spend the time training.


Input: And I have not met one stuck-up trail rider!


Input: Those are just a few reasons why I love trail riding, competitive or not.


Input: Same, when I 'm galloping in an open space like that I can just forget everything.


Input: Seeing the nature and wild life that if you keep quiet you can get up close and personal.


Input: I have had several close encounters with both foxes and wild deer.


Input: Also woodpeckers were pecking in the trees and I just sat and watched.


Input: Fascinating.


Input: Help?!


Input: What size horse do i need?


Input: I m around 5'2 - 5'4 , 11 years old and i m wondering what size horse i 'll need that i wo nt grow out of quickly?


Input: thanks


Input: louise


Input: I would say it really depends on your riding ability, what disciplines you are interested in doing, or plan on doing, etc.


Input: But I would go for the base number of 15hh.


Input: It 's "tall" being it 's bigger than a pony, but it 's on the small end for a horse.


Input: I got my horse when I was 12 and I was already 5'9-5'10, thankfully I stopped growing when I hit 5'11" but my horse is about 16.2 or 16.3hh, TB.


Input: So do n't be afraid to get something a little bigger than "perfect" just in case you hit a growth spurt.


Input: A taller horse does n't always mean a horse you ca n't handle.


Input: Keep that in mind.


Input: Also keep in mind whether you want to be able to jump up from the ground, if you even need to, etc.


Input: You just want to be sure you can groom and saddle sufficiently and the horse itself is calm enough so that whatever size it is, you can handle it.


Input: i 'm 5'3-4" and am 21 well will be in Nov and my horse is 14.2hh and she 's perfect size for me i can hop right on with no mounting block.....only with a saddle though haha i ca n't bareback, not yet


Input: If you Do n't want to grow out of it quickly get a 14'2 ..


Input: Anything smaller you will grow out, anything bigger will be too big and difficult to control and manage, especially when riding.


Input: Hope I helped :)


Input: My Snake 's meal is TOO big, what can I do?


Input: Just today I bought a medium rat for my beloved Ball Python Salazar (name after Harry Potter).

Harry Potter


Input: Last time I got a medium rat it was a girl and my snake handled her easily.


Input: But today, I got a boy and realized that he is HUGE!


Input: I really do love my snake cause she is actually an affectionate cold-blooded creature.


Input: So my true question comes to this, how can I knock the rat out?


Input: If I threw him against a wall and still conscious he will run away, do I hang him by the tail so the blood can flush into his skull?


Input: I really do need answers and advice, and NOT INSULTING ANSWERS!!


Input: LIKE SERIOUSLY!! >:(


Input: Best answer shall receive points :)


Input: iw ould just stick him in the tank and let your snake have a nice hunt for once, snakes jaws detach for this sort of this thing, so why not give her a good hunt, but if you do want him knock him i d just throw him against the wall or something,, lol i do nt know, i agree with you though throw him, haha


Input: Ok so if youre snake will take pre-killed, you can "gas it".


Input: Just put the rat in a sealed tupperwear container with no airholes and wait until it passes out and dies and then feed it.


Input: If it wo n't take pre-killed and you usually feed live then you could hold the rat by the tail and whack it against a hard surface, like a refrigerator or wall.


Input: I do n't like that option though - I think it 's pretty cruel and I'd not done properly you 'll end up really hurting the rat but not stunning him enough to stop possible injury to your snake.


Input: I would do the tupperwear idea TBH - easiest and most humane.


Input: You could also just wait until the rat passes out for about 1 minute and them feed it - at this point, it could still have a bit of a heart beat and be slightly still alive.


Input: And also maybe try holding the rat in feeding prongs so your snake can get a good hold and grip on his prey.


Input: Good luck!


Input: Just my opinion here - no judgement - getting your snake on frozen/thawed will prove to be much easier for you and safer for your snake in the long run.


Input: My opinion - take it for what it 's worth… :-)


Input: How Do you Prevent A Dwarf Hamster Escaping From The Cage?


Input: I m getting a dwarf hamster tomorrow and i saw videos on youtube of them escaping and if my hamster escaped because my mom will FREAK OUT!!!


Input: would it help getting an aquarium cage or a plastic see through box so it ca nt escape i can buy it a wheel


Input: I 've never had a dwarf hamster but I 've had the same problem with my pet rat I put some chicken wiring around it the I got from home depot and now it ca n't out.


Input: Yes I 've had 53 different kinds of rodents and two were dwarf hamsters they flatten into a pancake and slide right through the bars and are able to open the door so yes a plastic cage will be good


Input: Hi


Input: This is the cage I have whhich is pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to escape from:


Input: I love this cage, it 's easy to clean, very spacious and fun for the hamster


Input: Aquiriums are good also, but provide a mesh top for an easy airway.


Input: Wire cages are NOT acceptable for dwarfs really, unless the bars have less than half a cm between them.


Input: regards and have fun with your hammy


Input: Rachel


Input: How do I take care of my newborn baby fish?


Input: I am nervous that my other fish will eat them, and I do n't know what to feed them!


Input: I have counted around 25 of them and they currently reside in a 20 gallon tank.


Input: You could move all the babies into a fry net breeder or move all of the bigger fish (also the parents) to a different tank to avoid the babies getting eaten.


Input: Feed the babies 3-4 times a day with flakes.


Input: Provide plenty of hiding places like rocks, plants, etc in the tank.


Input: It s natural for some babies to be eaten by adults and if all of them survived your tank would be very overcrowded.


Input: Look in the pet stores for "fry food" or "baby fish foods".


Input: what kind of newborn fish you have?


Input: some parents would not eat there fish till a certain age jack dempsey for example would not eat there offspring till they mature but i would move the baby fish into a smaller tank and feed them flakes

Input: What are some fun things I could do while in Japan?

Japan


Input: I 'll be in Okinawa for about a week so I was wondering what are some fun things I could do?

Okinawa


Input: I 'm a 20 year old female travelling by myself so it could be anything.


Input: Besides the obvious tourist spots which I already have planned for.


Input: How is the night life in Naha?

Naha


Input: Are there any good venues that showcase underground bands, or just a venue at all?


Input: It does n't have to be underground it could be any type of music.


Input: Thanks


Input: The best thing you can do in Okinawa is to go to a beach.

Okinawa


Input: Otherwise, you can do what you can do in other parts or Japan, like shopping, eating, etc.

Japan


Input: Or you can visit temples or shrines in Okinawa.

Okinawa


Input: Well first you can try speaking Japanese.


Input: Go to a sumo tournament.


Input: Eat at a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant.


Input: Climb Mount Fuji.

Input: Try the local sake too if you can.


Input: It 's a special kind.


Input: I 'm not sure that there 's much nightlife in Naha.

Naha


Input: It 's more of a place to go to enjoy the weather, the sea, etc.


Input: You might have to make your own nightlife by finding an izakaya (pub) somewhere.


Input: Your best bet would probably be to get a copy of the Lonely Planet Japan book and read the chapter on Okinawa.

Input: Is there any cure for mouse poison?


Input: I found a poor little mouse walking around in my friend s house, and since I was able to catch it very easily (normally mice move at the speed of light), and since it was acting unresponsive, I thought it was infected with mouse poison, since my friend uses it.


Input: I know that the mouse will probably die, but I was wondering if there is any cure for mouse poison?


Input: I just hate to see the poor dears experience a slow painful death that way :( .


Input: Without knowing the exact poison, no.


Input: A common one is arsenic and there really is n't a way to cure that.


Input: Take the mouse to an emergency vet and have them use CO2 to put the mouse to sleep.


Input: Or, you can put the animal in a snap trap designed for rats or mice since that is the only really humane kill method for invasive animals.


Input: A quick cure would be Arm & Hammer to it's head.


Input: I want to apply for canada skilled immigeration program.

canada


Input: I got only 63 points while 67 minimunm is requirement.?


Input: Can i apply with 63 points?


Input: According to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada web site at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assess/index.asp , it states "Note: you must meet the minimum requirements for your application to be eligible for processing."

Canada


Input: HOWEVER ... that same web page also states that "The current pass mark is 67.


Input: The pass mark could change.


Input: You should check for updated information on a regular basis."


Input: The Skilled Worker category was my first attempt at permanent residency.


Input: And between the time I began my research and the time I applied, the minimum score did change once.


Input: Unfortunately, both minimums were above my score.


Input: But I got lucky because I qualified under another category to become a permanent resident.


Input: So keep checking at least on a weekly basis.


Input: GOOD NEWS ... I found a web page run by Canadian Immigration Lawyers at http://www.canadavisa.com/canadian-immigration-faq-skilled-workers.html .


Input: Here is what they posted there


Input: "4. May I qualify under the Skilled Worker category even if I score less than 67 points?"


Input: "If the Canadian Immigration Visa Officer believes that the point total does not accurately reflect your ability to become economically established in Canada, the Canadian Immigration Visa Officer may use his or her positive discretion (referred to as substituted evaluation) and approve your application even though you score less than 67 points."

Canada


Input: Read the full answer at that web page for conditions.


Input: Sure you can apply.


Input: The points system acts as a guide to sort out the best candidates.


Input: Your application is still evaluated on a number of criteria, not all of them as "cast in steel" as the points.


Input: Go ahead, send in your application.


Input: NOTE to BEN .

Input: Can rabbits and chickens live together?


Input: I am thinking about getting a rabbit as a pet, but my parents said that it has to stay outside.


Input: We also own two chickens that are kept in a run behind out garage/barn thing.


Input: There is already a little dog house that I would turn into a little rabbit hutch being kept back there and I was thinking about keeping the rabbit in the run with the chickens, but keeping the chickens in the coop and the rabbit in the hutch at night.


Input: However, in the day time would it be okay for the rabbit to hop around along with the chickens?


Input: We feed the chickens scraps of veggies and fruits throughout the day, but it 's nothing that a rabbit would n't be able to digest just fine.


Input: So, can rabbits and chickens live together as long as they have separate places for their food and water?


Input: (The rabbit hutch would have an opening only big enough for the rabbit, the chickens would not be able to get to the rabbit food) Also, is it okay if the rabbit occasionally sneaks a few bites of chicken feed?


Input: My last rabbit did that a few times, and he was fine...


Input: I just wan na make sure :) Thank!


Input: Yes,but be sure that your chickens are all hens(I mean not roosters),Roosters may attack rabbits or anything they see moving,so be aware of that,hens are friendly with almost all kinds of pets!


Input: From my experience Hens(Not roosters) are very friendly with duck,Guinea pigs,kittens,cows,Rabbits,etc.


Input: Be sure not to feed your rabbits non-veg items!


Input: You said they live in different cages and they are free in day,so no problem,do n't put both of them in one cage because rabbits bedding is different than that of hens,wet bedding can cause diseases in them!


Input: So,do n't put both of them in one cage.


Input: Good luck!


Input: yea i guess but rabbits a easily escape a pen or another rabbit could get in there and that rabbit could be the opposite gender.


Input: So be very careful and some feeds could be toxic to rabbits and safe for chickens.


Input: Rabbits do burrow also so do n't be surprised if chicken are falling into holes.


Input: rabbits are delicate and can get diseases so watch out for that.


Input: Which rat cage is better?


Input: Hi, I want to get a few pet rats and need a rat cage.


Input: (Apart from the wire flooring which i am going to cover) Which of these two cages is better:


Input: I ca nt decide between height or width.


Input: This one is better for rats.


Input: You always want to go higher rather than wider for rats.


Input: They LOVE to climb.


Input: You will have to cover the wire flooring like you said, and make fleece covers for the stairs, so no ratty feet get caught and broken.


Input: This cage will hold about 2 - 3 rats.


Input: Both are equal length so go for the taller one.


Input: If you use this cage it 's best to remove the wire shelves altogether and replace it with hammocks and the like.


Input: I used one of these cages short term for a pet and it was n't that great to be honest, pretty cheaply made, the door springs are annoying and it does n't last very well.


Input: Here are some better options IMO:


Input: These are all a bit more expensive than your choice but if you ebay search the names you may be able to find one second hand...better paying for a second hand one in good condition than a poorly made new one IMO.


Input: The First One Is much Better!


Input: I Have This Exact Cage, Bought From The Exact Ebay User.


Input: It s Really Good And The Rat Calculater Says Is Big Enough For 5 Rats, But I Would Put A Maximum Of 4 In It Really :)


Input: which one out of these makes the best pet?


Input: a degu, a rat, a mouse, a hamster or a guinea pig?


Input: and why is the one a better pet?


Input: Get a guinea pig.


Input: I have a hamster, and mice and rats like to escape.


Input: The Guinea pig is better because it s a lot larger than a hamster, rat, mouse, or degu.


Input: So if you lose him, he is easier to find, because smaller rodents just LOVE to escape from their cages.


Input: So my opinion is Guinea pigs.


Input: (plus they do nt stink that bad)


Input: Depends on what you want in a pet, to be honest.


Input: Also depends on the space you have, how much time you can handle the pet, how much money you can spend, etc.


Input: I 've had experience with all of those pets except Degus.


Input: My favorite would have to be the rat.


Input: They 're incredibly social, highly trainable, and very clean.


Input: Mine learned to "go to the bathroom" only in their cages and loved to ride on my shoulder or hang out in my hoodie pouch.


Input: The only downside is they should be kept in pairs or trios and require a pretty large habitat.


Input: That means expense, space, and they require weekly cage cleaning.


Input: My second favorite would have to be the Guinea Pig - not quite as social with people as rats (at least mine was n't ) but more so than most hamsters or mice.


Input: Again, pairs or trios and pretty big living space.


Input: They, too, need weekly cage cleaning and can cost quite a bit.


Input: I could handle my mice, but they where skittish and preferred their cage.


Input: I 've never met a hamster that did n't bite me.


Input: Never had/handled a Degu.


Input: Get a guinea pig.


Input: We have two.


Input: They are social and like to be handled.


Input: You have to have two because they do n't do well alone.


Input: Make certain you get two females.


Input: Two males can fight and you definitely do n't want babies!!


Input: Guinea pigs (also called cavies) are gentle creatures and are awake during the day and sleep at night.


Input: They will whistle when they hear you as an encouragement for you to give them a treat like leaf lettuce.


Input: They love leaf or romaine lettuce and tomatos, celery, cucumbers, carrots.


Input: Do n't feed them broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, onions, head lettuce ....they are all too difficult for them to digest.


Input: Also they ca n't eat potatos, they are toxic for them.


Input: If you keep the cage clean they do n't smell and you can buy spray on cleaser for them, just massage it into their coat and groom them.


Input: What countries are the best to travel to?


Input: I really want to travel when I leave school!


Input: Where in the states could I go?


Input: Where in Europe?

Input: Have you every traveled before?


Input: How long should I go for to each place?

Input: Thanks :)


Input: I mean when I graduate & yes, college, sorry for the typo.

Input: I 've traveled to all of these places and could certainly tailor a trip to your needs based on budget, actual time allowed, your likes and dislikes.


Input: Amount of time could be dependent on so many things.


Input: Do you want to see all the sites or simply a few photos and on your way to the next place.


Input: Does your budget limit you to how long you can stay in each place?


Input: You need a lot of money for hotels, airfare, seeing the sites, food, local transport - you name it but life costs.


Input: Once you have a budget or an amount in the bank then you 'll be able to figure out where you can go, for how long you can go and what you can do when you 're there.


Input: 1 year before collage or college?

Input: bearded dragon spikes?


Input: bit of a stupid question but do the spikes/spines (whatever you call them) on their side and face area ever go hard.


Input: or are they just supposed to look like they are so nothing will try to eat them


Input: becca is right .


Input: i v owned beardies for ovr 3 yrs and i handle mine all the time.. they do nt go hard lik eneedle hard but they ar nt pillow soft.


Input: they use them to look prickly.. would you try to eat a cactus [if u had no knife] i know i would nt .


Input: they puff out to look bigger and badder and they can scratch you a lil if u r holding them to tight :)


Input: They re not really hard.


Input: Beardies are actually quite delicate.


Input: I 'm assuming it 's to scare off predators / like how they will puff up their neck spikes to make them look bigger to predators or enemies.


Input: they do nt hurt unless you r stupid enough to press on them.


Input: They just are there as an adaptation.


Input: Do animals see images on a TV screen like humans do?


Input: Do animals see images on a TV screen like humans do?


Input: I 'm unsure of this, because once I watched a commercial of cat food with my cat and she did n't react to seeing another cat on TV.


Input: I heard that a company (here is a link: http://news.yahoo.com/nestl-purina-releases-commercial-aimed-dogs-183443091.html ) is trying to make a dog food commercial aimed at dogs, complete with squeaky chew-toy sounds, and high pitched sounds that humans ca n't hear.


Input: As far as I understand, this ad will get dogs excited, but my question is: Can dogs actually see the images featured in the advert like humans?


Input: Also, can animals remember images on TV like us, humans?


Input: If so, then does that mean that if you watched a scary movie and your dog/cat/parrot was in the same room as you they will also get scared?


Input: I would n't know--I do n't particularly like scary movies, and I have n't tried this with my pet.


Input: Although, I do n't think that scary movies will affect pets for a long time; I am sure they 'll forget sometime--or am I wrong?


Input: So what about T.V.?


Input: Do dogs enjoy watching T.V.?


Input: Well, T.V. is a series of flickering pictures that are streamed together to make a moving picture.


Input: The pictures are broadcast at a rate of about 60Hz, which is how fast they need to move for us to see them as a moving, flawless picture.


Input: To a dog, watching T.V. is a lot like watching and old scratchy silent film because their flicker fusion seems to occur at a rate of 70 to 80Hz.


Input: So they see the pictures flicker slower and there for it seems choppy to them.


Input: So chances are that if your dog likes to watch T.V., it ’s probably because of the sounds.


Input: Hearing is a dog ’s secondary sense, and I will discuss that in another blog entery.


Input: Yes they do.


Input: i m pretty sure that they do see things on the tv screen because my cat chases things around the tv screen


Input: 10 gallon nano reef ideas?


Input: I have a 10 gallon nano reef with 10 lbs of live fiji rock, and 10 lbs of live carribean sand.


Input: I am aware of the maintenance involved in keeping a tank this size.


Input: I am currently maintaining a gravity level of 1.024.


Input: I have a 10 gallon filter on it.


Input: I also have a powerhead, getting another soon.


Input: I have a few questions, first I want to start a sump filter, but I have no idea on how the water intake and water return would work.


Input: How would I need to set a sump for this 10 gallon?


Input: Do I need a protein skimmer or any other equipment?


Input: thanks


Input: Unless the tank has a built in overflow box (which I 'm certain it does n't ) then you have to get one of those hang on back overflow boxes so that you can install a sump.


Input: The piping would lead down into your sump from the overflow box.


Input: On the other end of the sump, you would have a small return pump with a hose that puts the water back into your tank.


Input: If you 're going to go through the trouble of creating a sump for this tank, getting a protein skimmer would n't be a bad idea.


Input: The Hydor SlimSkim Nano is a good nano protein skimmer, it 's an in-tank design that could easily sit in your sump.


Input: How to start a new fish tank?


Input: I 'm getting a 10 gallon for my betta tomorrow and I just want to know how to properly set it up.


Input: I 'm still a beginner.


Input: Any and all suggestions on what I need to do and buy will help.


Input: Thanks.


Input: When you get the tank make sure you wash the inside (with plain water) then you wash the gravel (with only water too) take out all the stuff that is floating on top.


Input: Add only silk plants as plastic ones may tear up ur betta s delicate fins.


Input: You add the water and put water conditioner into the water.


Input: Start up your filter (sponge filters are the best for bettas) and put in a heater and set it to anywhere between 78-82.


Input: Wait about 2 weeks or 3 and test your water.


Input: If everything is looking good you may add you betta to its new home.


Input: Lights are optinal since fish need the light turn off at night anyways and an air pump is not nessasary since they get air from the surface.


Input: ask the people selling you the fish how you should set it up,they would know


Input: Add aquasafe with the water you put in it.


Input: Make sure the temperature is good.


Input: Do not put your fish tank close to the sun or algae grow in your tank.


Input: Everything else should be good.


Input: Make sure if you get new fish that they get along with one another.

Input: I need HELP with my Syrian Hamster !!!?


Input: Hi, i bought my Syrian Hamster (Fernando) just yesterday and as i was told to leave


Input: him to get to know his new home.


Input: As i asked in the previous questions he was jumping up the sides of the cage but i was told is just becouse he is panicking and he wants to escape but he is ok now.


Input: So now i wanted to bouild up relationship with him so i got a piece of carrot and i put it on my hand, i moved very slowly and he suddenly run away to his tube.


Input: Why, how can i build up realtion ship with him he is also not useing the thing that he runs on and he wakes up walks around and goes to sleep again ???


Input: Please help i m worried about him !!!


Input: Thanks.


Input: CHILL OUT!


Input: Firstly, your hammie was not stressed out, he wanted attention.


Input: Secondly, that is normal behavior as they use the wheels in the night.


Input: Thirdly, just put your hand in his cge ans leave it their.


Input: He willl eventually come and explore it and them you can handle him a little bit.


Input: Hope I helped!


Input: Give him time.


Input: You only got him yesterday.


Input: He 's probably still scared and unsure.


Input: Once he has properly settled down, got use to the new smells and noises he will be fine.


Input: Once he is more comfy with his surroundings, then you can start handling him and getting to know each other more.


Input: But just give him time for now.


Input: How can i get my kitten to stop biting when he plays?


Input: I have a kitten who just turned 3 months today.


Input: He 's a good kitty, just when he plays he bites REALLY hard.


Input: Almost every day he 'd even wake me up like 5am in the morning, trying to bite my arm.


Input: And when I move it I guess he figures I 'm playing. x.x


Input: I read somewhere that you have to hold his mouth together, and keep it that way til he panics.


Input: That seems cruel to me though.


Input: Any other way??


Input: Do you think he 's teething?


Input: It 's getting out of hand.


Input: Yeah, I thought that the holding his mouth thing sounded wrong.


Input: No worries, i did n't try.


Input: He does have toys, a scratching post, LOTS of mice, balls, yarn, a feathery birdy toy, etc.


Input: He 'd just randomly walk up to you and start the biting.


Input: When i put him off of my bed, he jumps back on and same thing.


Input: he may be teething but i do nt think it can be stopped.


Input: maybe buy him toys that he can play with that give him a way to use his energy up


Input: yes do not hold any animal s mouth shut it wil close their air way, he s just a kitty and they are very rambunctious , get him toys.


Input: lots of them, feather ones work best, also when he bites you in the morning put him down off your bed, to show him that you will not tolerate that, he will get it, he s also probably teething, so toys are your best bet


Input: HAMSTERS - will a hamster be ok living in the bathroom ?


Input: in his cage in the bathroom ?


Input: or would the steam from the shower be a problem ?


Input: thanks d


Input: If space is minimal, or you are keeping him in there to be kept away from other pets, then I can understand why you would choose to keep him there.


Input: There are some things to consider though...


Input: Rodents require special bedding in their cages to absorb their waste, and this needs to be cleaned regularly, or your hamster could suffer from problems due the buildup of ammonia from his urine.


Input: When you take a warm shower and build up steam, his cage will collect water, the bedding will absorb much of it, and will not be able to absorb the urine quite as it should.


Input: You will also have to be wary of mold forming on any toys or hide-aways he may have.


Input: You also do n't want it getting too warm for him too often.


Input: Overall, it is not a good solution, but you can keep him healthy and pull it off if you take the time to give him the extra care he will need because of it.


Input: It may be a problem because the temperature is constantly changing.


Input: I would personally put him somewhere else.


Input: yoga and horses.....?


Input: I got a riding lesson today on one of my boss 's fino horses and it made me realize just how unsteady my left leg is.


Input: I mentioned it to my boss and she said to start doing yoga.


Input: But there are just so many poses and programs!


Input: Any good poses or programs (I 'm willing to buy a dvd as long as it is under $20) to help specifically with leg stabilization?


Input: I just have a few issues supporting my back and my left leg flops.


Input: Because I do n't feel like spending over $20 on a freakin DVD


Input: I also have back problems that transfer into my legs.


Input: I have done Yoga for riders for a while, a 20 minute routine I found on YouTube (I think it s called "Yoga for horse back riding" hosted by a man) It helped with noticing slight differences in my balance and weight distribution but not really for the way I use my legs and back.


Input: Here is what I do now and it really helps....


Input: When I first get on I take 1 leg and pull it back up to touch my butt with my heel and hold it there for 1 lap at a walk around a large dressage arena.


Input: Then the same thing with the other leg.


Input: Then 1 lap at a walk around the arena with both my legs pulled out as far as I can, so they are not touching the saddle.


Input: Then a lap doing scissors, one leg forward as far as I can and the other back, then switch legs.


Input: I 'll also trot doing, down 2 beats, up one for a wile, then up 2 down 1 making sure the weight is going into the balls of my feet.


Input: If the weight is going into your heels (it throws your leg forward) put the stirrups up against the heel of your boot.


Input: Do a nice working trot, not a slow trot.


Input: All this will help you use both legs evenly, keep proper contact and use your wight correctly, to keep your leg in a good position.


Input: BTW you do nt want your leg locked in place, it will move WITH the horse a bit.


Input: When I first started doing it I 'd do it every day.


Input: Now I just do it once or twice a week or as needed.


Input: Now not only is my leg better, but my back is relaxing.


Input: what are you having problems with?


Input: i would n't bother with yoga i 'd practice more with riding and fixing my problem, ride bareback, with no irons, there s also a way to ride on your knees?


Input: that help alot with your thigh muscles (bareback though)


Input: ya i really would n't bother with the yoga


Input: maybe a back brase will help, sometimes my back really gets to me and i 've thought about getting one.


Input: with your leg flopping, just try putting all your weight in your heel and hangon with only your legs, holding my leg back helps me with flopping the more it 's forward the more it flops :/ work your calf muscles, maybe try standing on the edge of your steps (on the ball of your foot) and balance to strengthen those muscles


Input: You do n't want to spend more than $20 and yet you have an expensive hobby like riding horses?


Input: I really ca n't help you.


Input: can i buy a laptop in u.k and then take it to rep.ireland and put a irish pay,go dongle init?

u.k

rep.ireland


Input: i want to buy a laptop for my girlfriend in ireland,would she be able to just use the dongle she uses for her pc and put it straight in the laptop and it work like normall?

ireland


Input: thanks people


Input: Yes obviously the USB is region free which means you can use it anywhere.


Input: And every computer manufactured in both Ireland & the UK are Region 2 aka PAL.

Ireland

UK


Input: There wo n't be a difference since mobile broadband is supposed to be digital.


Input: But word of advice if you 're get your girlfriend a laptop make sure it s a good brand a not something like DELL, Acer, Asus, eMachines etc.

DELL

Acer

Asus

eMachines


Input: just a heads up.


Input: yes of course you can....


Input: I have many friends that have laptops bought in the UK that use them here

UK


Input: If in dongle you mean USB stick then yes USB sticks are the same any were you go :) hope that answered your question.


Input: Should all UK towns and their cafes or restaurants provide Halal food?

UK


Input: Some friends of mine visited Dartmouth in Devon whilst on holiday last summer.

Dartmouth

Devon


Input: They could not find any cafes or food shops that provided Halal prepared foods.


Input: It s important to their religion that they only consume Halal food.


Input: Even if you buy a cake in a baker s you can not be too what happens in the kitchen, for example the cake may have been sliced using a knife used for preparing ham.


Input: It s simply not just a case of avoiding pork, alcohol and only being allowed to eat halal prepared meat, but the kitchen and its utensils should not have been used for prohibited foods.


Input: Places like Dartmouth are supposed to be tourist towns and should provide foods for people of all religions.

Dartmouth


Input: We all enjoy buying a snack when visiting a town or attraction while on holiday.


Input: Not everyone wants to bring packed lunch.


Input: It s not fair if some people have to go without buying food because no place will provide suitable food for them.


Input: I think it s only fair that nowadays every town should provide at least one halal cafe or restaurant and hopefully one day every British catering establishment will be halal.


Input: When I went to Bosnia, all the meat was Halal.

Bosnia


Input: I will not eat halal meat, so guess what, I opted for foods which were n't a meat dish, there were plenty of other options.


Input: I could not go to their country and demand they slaughter and sell an animal as meat the way I prefer to eat it.


Input: When you go to another country, you live by their way of life and their laws, if you do n't like it, you know how to get back out the country (but I guess our benefits system is too much to throw away, huh).


Input: Cafes and restaurants rarely use the same cutlery for different food groups anyway, they normally have blue for bakery items, red for cooked meat, brown for raw meat, etc - all for food preparation and hygiene policies.


Input: No.


Input: To prevent animal cruelty, many countries forbid Halal and Kosher meat.


Input: Switzerland is one, and the Netherlands are passing the same law.

Switzerland

the Netherlands


Input: It will become EU law in a couple of years.

EU


Input: We ca n't dictate what business wants to open where.


Input: If someone thinks there is a business opportunity then they will start opening halal only places.


Input: petsmart application?

Josalyn Leainne Creek

mcallister 's deli


Input: Jeez, work on your spelling and punctuation.


Input: It makes a huge difference.


Input: No one 's going to hire you if you ca n't even spell, especially if you 're a high school graduate.


Input: Cover letters and resumes need to be perfect.


Input: No one 's going to take you seriously if they 're full of typos and whatnot.


Input: Sorry, I would put that application in the round file.


Input: Nope


Input: How to convince my parents to let me get a Ball python?


Input: They do n't know ANYTHING about Ball pythons.


Input: When I ask my mom she says she will never let a snake in her house.


Input: She has no experience with snakes and has never held one.


Input: I did all my research and am well prepared to keep one, I 'm 14 by the way


Input: Lay some knowledge on them dude.


Input: Maybe if they see how much time and effort you 've devoted to researching the animal they 'll reconsider.


Input: Tell them it costs like 8 dollars a month (if even that much) to keep it fed.


Input: Be helpful around the house to show that even if you ca n't pay for it yourself that you re willing to work for it.


Input: Once you 've buttered them up a bit try to get them to the pet store and ask one of the employees to handle the snake showing your mom how gentle and harmless they can be.


Input: Maybe even try to get your mom to hold it a bit.


Input: My wife was TERRIFIED of snakes when we first met, I introduced her to one out my baby corn snakes and she fell in love with it.


Input: Be persistent, but do n't pester them about it cause that 'll get you nowhere fast.


Input: Good luck!


Input: My general convince your parents to let you get a reptile advice:


Input: 1. Be responsible.


Input: Do all your chores without being nagged, take care of any existing pets, keep your room clean, and so on.


Input: Prove, to your parents ' satisfaction, that you, not they, will be the one actually taking care of your new pet.


Input: 2. Save up, and research, so that you are ready for your new pet.


Input: 3. Bargain with them.


Input: Offer to do extra chores, ask for your pet as a reward for good grades, something like that.


Input: 4. Play the sympathy card.


Input: If you can find a pet at a shelter, or that a friend needs to get rid of because they 're moving or whatever, you might be able to talk your parents into "giving it a good home" where you might not be able to talk them into buying a new pet.


Input: On the fear angle--talk her into coming to the pet store with you.


Input: Once you 're there, ask if you can hold a ball python.


Input: Once you 're holding it, try to get her to touch/pet it...


Input: Fostering 6 week old kittens and HATING IT!


Input: Need Advice!?


Input: I wanted to volunteer and help animals, and decided to try fostering kittens.


Input: This is my first experience and I have two six week old kittens right now and am at my wit s end.


Input: I do not want to have to bring them back before they are eight weeks old but they are ruining my apartment.


Input: They track poop everywhere (most disgustingly my bed....), and am constantly trying to climb up everything, including my bare legs!


Input: My legs and hands are just full of scratches.


Input: I realize they are young and that cats do climb, but this is just ridiculous.


Input: My apartment also smells repulsive even though I am cleaning out their litter box at least once a day if not twice.


Input: Any suggestions and helpful hints to make this a more positive experience would be extremely appreciated.


Input: That 's kind of the way it goes..lol.


Input: Limit them to one room with easy to clean flooring.


Input: If you have limited options, try the bathroom.


Input: Make sure there are plenty of litter boxes that are cleaned often.


Input: Depending on the batch of kittens, I will often have as many as one per kitten.


Input: They can produce a lot of waste and even scooping twice a day they can get messy.


Input: For some reason it takes them awhile to learn not to step in poop.


Input: Also if they have diarrhea, check in with your foster coordinator.


Input: They made need medication or deworming or something.


Input: They are testing out their claws and teeth.


Input: To some degree you can/should help teach them not to use their teeth and claws inappropriately.


Input: But in the meantime, highly recommend jeans and long sleeves anytime you 'll be interacting with the kittens.


Input: Then take care of yourself.


Input: Get plenty of sleep and make sure you take time out to do some things you enjoy.


Input: Try visiting the kittens a few times a day for short periods of time.


Input: Try to go in there with the right frame of mind and enjoy them for what they are.


Input: If you still do n't enjoy the kittens, see what other opportunities are available.


Input: They may need foster homes for adult cats in different situations.. sick, recovering from surgery, need a little socialization, etc.


Input: I find the adults are much easier.


Input: Generally they 're not clawing and biting, they do n't make nearly as much mess, they do n't need nearly as much litterbox scooping, etc :)


Input: Decide volunteering is not your thing and give them back!


Input: And do more research before you agree next time ;-)


Input: Take the kittens back to the shelter.


Input: Maybe do volunteer work at the humane society, walk dogs, groom the animals etc.


Input: How can i make my Jack Dempsey reproduce?


Input: i have a Mature male and female they are together a lot but never laid eggs as far as i know can anyone help me figure out how to make them mate


Input: He 's the issue, you are trying to "Make" them mate.


Input: This is like trying to Make 2 people get married.


Input: It does n't work.


Input: First you need a compatible pair.


Input: Sounds like your 2 at least tolerate each other, so there is hope there.


Input: Then the need to be mature, that is, old enough, and big enough to breed.


Input: This may be around 1/2 of their full adult size, probably 4-5" for those guys.


Input: Then the environment.


Input: Large tank, no annoying tankmates, perfect water conditons and really good feeding.


Input: The difference is what they need to live, VS what 's ideal for them.


Input: Get that right, and they will mate when THEY are ready.


Input: You ca n't MAKE them mate, you can only encourage them.


Input: Ian


Input: Jack Dempseys are not an easy cichlid to breed.


Input: Most of the time one is more interested in breeding than the other.


Input: Bredders take the one that in not very interested and put it alone in a breeeding tank for 3-5 days.


Input: The tank should have a hide space big enough for one fish, or a few of them, but at least 1 cave big enough for two fish to fit in.


Input: The p H should be 6.5-7.


Input: Now feed the one in the breeding tank as much bloodworms, blackworms and/or earthworms as it can eat for 3-5 days.


Input: Then add the other mate.


Input: They may not respond right away and they may fight so ther smaller one can fit in one of hide spaces if it gets attacked.


Input: When the male s aggressive behavior stops, it is ready to spawn.


Input: The two lay their eggs inside the cave you made for them.


Input: Turn the water temp up to 82 degrees


Input: EPM, Anyone Dealt with it?


Input: Might be something different?


Input: I have the opportunity to pick up a super nice 6 year old for free.


Input: He 's not lame, but he 's been having issues.


Input: Here 's what the owner has said:


Input: I have a 5 year old that lost all of his cheek muscle on the right side about 3-4 months ago.


Input: I chalked it up to possible nerve damage, because this is what the vet thought and the other cheek muscle was fine and he had no theeth problems.


Input: So I sent him to the trainers the first of September to be started on the barrels.


Input: I got him back the first of the month and he had lost some weight but attributed that to be worked everyday (I expected him to drop some).


Input: He is now losing the cheek muscle on the left side of his face and seems to be dropping weight by the day.


Input: Had him to a dentist yesterday and there is no teeth problems.


Input: He can eat all his feed and does n't drop any, but can not eat hay from lack of muscle to chew it.


Input: He is gant looking in his flank area and is losing topline muscle.


Input: The only neurological sign that he shows is that he barely drags his toes and sometimes has trouble with his right lead.


Input: The horse I had posted about a couple weeks ago with the atrophied cheek muscles is down to his last resort for life.


Input: I CAN NOT afford to treat whatever is wrong with him.


Input: NO, I have not done an EPM test but have done an extensive blood panel and my vet did a neurological physical exam.


Input: We elected to not do the EPM test because there was NO neurological signs.


Input: He is still showing no signs other than the weight loss, and some muscle atrophy.


Input: He eats all of his grain but it just takes him a while to get it chewed because of the lack of muscle in his jaws.


Input: So I might get the horse and see what I can do.


Input: I will be getting with my vet first and if I do get him, have the spinal fluid test done for EPM and a titer test.


Input: Will be getting a copy of the blood results the owner has already ran as well.


Input: My other theory would be wobblers.


Input: I 'll be having my equine chiro/acupuncturist out to do some work as well if I do get him....


Input: So any ideas?


Input: Think I should do it?


Input: Arby,

Arby


Input: Horse is out of state and not local.


Input: Owner is willing to meet me half way with him.


Input: I will be calling my vet and chiro about him.


Input: Worse comes to worse, I 'm out of the $$ and have to put him down anyway or have a pretty pasture ornament.


Input: He 's still rideable currently and not having many issues under saddle.


Input: This is a horse that I otherwise would n't be able to afford and even if I spend 2K and treatment I come out ahead of his purchase price.


Input: I posted what the owner as said in paragraph 2 & 3, that is not me to clarify.


Input: She is the one that ca n't afford to do anything else for him in case he does n't recover fully.


Input: He can eat grain and I already have a feed regimen in my head for the guy since he ca n't eat regular hay.


Input: I do n't think it will be hard to keep his weight up so long as he can eat the grain.


Input: I am not going to go pick up a horse I ca n't afford.


Input: I am willing to pull the EPM test and treat.


Input: The owner is the one who is unable.


Input: I will also be having my other vet up who 's a chiro & acupuncturist to evaluate him for wobblers.


Input: July is when he started to exhibit slight symptoms and the owner and vet originally thought it was just some nerve damage from something in the pasture with no visible injury.


Input: He 's only exhibited weight loss and some muscle atrophy, with the slight toe drag and a bit of trouble with the right lead (which could or could n't be related).


Input: The horse is not in pain.


Input: He 's not starving.


Input: He 's dropping we


Input: The horse is not in pain.


Input: He 's not starving.


Input: He 's dropping weight, but most of that came from being at the trainer s and being ridden hard for 60 days.


Input: He 's not putting it back on.


Input: I know that I have the possibility of treating him and still having to put him down.


Input: At the same time I do know people who have had horses come back successfully after EPM.


Input: I know this is going to be expensive.


Input: I 'm willing to give it a shot.


Input: Gallop, I 've already read that whole site and been reading through research articles from the research colleges as well.


Input: Looked at studies, treatment options and such.


Input: I will have the EPM test done before treating.


Input: The chiro/acupuncturist will be there to evaluate the horse for wobblers which is often caused by spinal compression and can be confused with EPM.


Input: If that is the case then acupuncture is n't going to hurt him.


Input: It 's actually one of the alternative therapies for EPM


Input: I think it is wonderfully responsible that you are going into this rescue eyes open and are getting the opinions of qualified professionals (and a bunch of Yahoos) before you decide to take this horse on.


Input: I do think some Y!A users need to work on their reading comprehension as I ca n't comprehend how taking a horse in as a rescue and getting it qualified medical treatment is abuse.


Input: Worst case scenario you fall in love and after spending thousands of dollars you have to put the horse down.


Input: Is that something you are up for?


Input: If so go for it and I 'll give you all the moral support I can as you figure out what is up.


Input: It is heartbreaking to try to bring a horse back and then have to put it down, but some horses are worth the risk.


Input: If you feel this guy is worth it then I hope your vet can figure things out.


Input: As to EPM like Shee said being in MI we 've had to deal with it.

Shee

MI


Input: Pretty much every large stable has here.


Input: Our first diagnosed EPM horse was back when there was no treatment in the US and only an experimental chicken feed additive in Canada.

US

Canada


Input: We hauled the horse to Windsor and got him treated there.

Windsor


Input: That horse returned to racing and we did n't notice much difference.


Input: We 've had a few since then, but none since our race horses began wintering in Florida.


Input: I have no idea if that is related or farmers are doing a better job of clearing out opossums now because they know opossums are carriers, but we have n't had an EPM horse in at least 10 years.


Input: I can say all of our EPM horses were treated early when they were showing mild signs like Shee gave and all returned to racing.

Shee


Input: One horse even got his lifetime mark after being treated for EPM.


Input: We 've always liked big long trotters that do better on mile tracks then 1/2 mile.


Input: The only difference we noticed is that the EPM horses seemed to do worse on the smaller tracks after.


Input: It might just be coincidence or the fact those great big trotters with those extremely long backs lost a bit of fine coordination to get those gangly bodies around those tighter turns.


Input: I do n't know.


Input: MSU does a lot of EPM studies because of how common it is here.

MSU


Input: You may want to see if you can get in touch with their EPM group and get this guy in a study.


Input: I know they did lab work showing that Strongid C used daily could help prevent EPM.


Input: I believe they have a real study testing the lab work in real world situations now, but it may be sometime before those results are released.


Input: Another thought with this being a mosquito season from hell could it be West Nile?


Input: West Nile can cause EPM like symptoms and does n't always include a fever.


Input: Let us know what you decide to do.


Input: You hate to see talent get wasted, but honestly I do n't think I could take in a horse right now these issues.


Input: Personally I think you should just keep on walking by.


Input: You should have you chiro out before you decide if you want this horse or not.


Input: If you have a good repoire (which I 'm sure you do) with them, they should be honest on if this horse is fixable to any degree... not really sure what you want to do with him...


Input: Even if you can figure out what is wrong with this poor poneh, there is always the chance for remission and then relapse so you may have to do deal with again in the future.


Input: So all in all, put the money up front before taking on this horse.


Input: A few hundred out of pocket now will possibly save you thousands once the horse is in your name.


Input: Could he have had a blow to the head causing this atrophy?


Input: Or a difficult birth?


Input: Was it always like this?


Input: Or has it occurred since birth.


Input: I also wonder if he might have had a slight stroke?


Input: I think if you can not afford to get him treated that you should not consider him as a prospect.


Input: Who knows what the future might hold, and it might be expensive?


Input: Please help with my cat s bladder issue?


Input: I have a 1 1/2 year old female calico.


Input: When she was spayed the vet had a hard time because she only has one uterine horn and he said this could mean she only has on kidney.


Input: Recently she has been peeing A LOT.


Input: I 'm talking soaking all the litter box and then some.


Input: She is also peeing around the box and somehow it gets underneath.


Input: I do n't have the money to take her to a vet right now but it 's getting to be an issue.


Input: I have to scrub the floor 2-3 times a week now.


Input: What could be the issue and can I try some home remedies first?


Input: I love her and want to help her but I do n't know when I 'll be able to take her to to vet :( please help.


Input: First of all, I am very sorry to hear you 're having this issue with your cat. :(


Input: Frequent urination is a sign of several things.


Input: Bladder or Urinary tract infections are two common ones, but these usually are frequent visits, with small amounts of urine being passed.


Input: If there is blood in the urine, or the cat seems to be in pain, then that is also a good indicator.


Input: But your cat is passing a LOT of urine, and this is bad.


Input: Given the chance your cat may only have one kidney, I would think the worst case scenario would be kidney disease, which untreated can lead to possible renal failure.


Input: Signs of this can be hard to spot, and if this is true in her case she will definitely need to see a vet.


Input: Vomiting, bad breath, and listlessness.


Input: Seizures will occur when the toxins that the kidney normally filters out are released into the blood stream.


Input: I know you are very worried, but getting her to the vet is the best thing you can do for her.


Input: In the meantime make sure she had plenty of water available to her.


Input: taking young cat with me for a week out of state?


Input: good idea?


Input: i have a 3-4 month old kitten and i live in forida.

forida


Input: i am going to my grandma s in north carolina and we are going camping in a cabin in west virginia.

north carolina

west virginia


Input: My cat is a outside cat but she loves it inside.


Input: she is also good in a carrier.


Input: Should i bring her?


Input: if so how quick will she adapt to a litter box inside?


Input: thanks


Input: We took our cat Mitten camping.


Input: He loved it.


Input: But he was an inside/outside cat (only one I owned - rest have been 100 0nside cats).


Input: He was trained to a harness/leash for outside time but he knew to use the litter pan inside.


Input: If your cat is not trained to use the litter pan, you may have a problem taking her.


Input: NO!


Input: changing its surroundings too often will stress it out and it will get depressed, mean, sick, or will not want to be around you.


Input: cheapest plastic surgeons in Thailand?

Thailand


Input: I want to go to thailand to do my boob job from South Africa but looking for the cheapest surgeons yet also good in his artwork on a human s body .

thailand

South Africa


Input: Only a fool would base a decision using the cheapest surgeon to perform an operation.


Input: Cheapest surgeons work out of some small clinic and do not have the skills you are looking for. .


Input: Do you really want to put your faith in some clinic doctor.


Input: I know I would n't .


Input: You need to check with one of the major hospital that performance this procedure like Bumrungard Hospital or Yanhee Hospital.

Bumrungard Hospital

Yanhee Hospital


Input: Would you choose the cheapest brakes for your expensive race car or maybe the cheapest parachute too?


Input: Sometimes the "cheap" comes expensive!


Input: When you have invasive surgery you could also get infections, accidental nicks and cuts that cause other problems too!


Input: If they screw up you could be in worse shape than you are now!


Input: Bumrungrad Hospital does some good work but all hospitals do have their problems from time to time.

Bumrungrad Hospital


Input: Maybe having an experienced doctor might be better than some guy that is cheaper but less experienced!


Input: The cheapest *high quality* plastic surgeons are at Yanhee Hospitals.


Input: They do outstanding work.


Input: Check the link for a sampling of prices.


Input: Golden Wonder KilliFish Breeding Help?


Input: I have 4 Golden Wonder Killifish.


Input: 1 of them is really colorful and is about 6cm long.


Input: 2 of them are kinda whitish and are about 4-5cm long.


Input: The last one is colourful too but it is about 4cm long.


Input: I feed them Flakes, and Live Earthworms uncut everyday.


Input: Can you tell me the whole process of breeding them and taking care of the babies?


Input: Thanks in Advance.


Input: Wow!


Input: If they are able to take earthworms uncut, that is really impressive!


Input: I aspire to your feeding regime, flakes early and something live later in the day.


Input: Worms (and Daphnia) are also rich in Lipids, substances important in forming eggs and growing young.


Input: I think that you understand that your largest and smallest golden wonders are males.


Input: If you would like more on sexing out Aplocheilus lineatus take a look at the discussion in the first source below.


Input: If you have plants in your tank.


Input: your lineatus are already spawning.


Input: If conditions are favorable (78-82 F) and the fish are obviously well fed as yours are, they will spawn.


Input: (I 've even had a pair of killies leave eggs on a floating thermometer!


Input: If you wish to pick eggs make a acrylic spawning mop.


Input: Checkout the second source.


Input: I prefer darker colors because I can see their eggs ,more easily and the fish look better next to them.


Input: Use a well rinsed medicine vial, a cork, new fishing bobber or even a piece of non-crumbly styrofoam to float them.


Input: There are a couple ways one could spawn lineatus - mop spawning & water incubating them for two weeks, picking eggs from a mop & putting them in a tray of treated, seasoned water or setting up the parents in a planted tank & moving them so the fry can hatch out there.


Input: If you have the room to separate the male(s) & females(s),& feed them well on live foods, (assuming that you are doing weekly 50% water changes) when you put them together they will leave a lot more eggs.


Input: Just making up examples, but if a pair is constantly together, they may lay 10-15 eggs a day.


Input: With extra blackworms and maybe frozen (defrosted, rinsed) frozen foods earlier in the day, they may leave 30-40 eggs at a time.


Input: Separated and feed extremely nourishing stuff, they may produce more.


Input: Separating a pair some time before a show (killies are usually shown & judged & often sold as pairs) will encourage them to court and show their best colors.


Input: They also start the day with no nicks or dings in their fins.


Input: The water changes help with that too.


Input: You also may need to treat the incubation water.


Input: The chlorine and ammonia (choramine) are not good for the eggs.


Input: Ironically sometimes it is wise to leave the newly picked eggs in fresh tap water with some chlorination to kill microscopic critters that ride in with the eggs.


Input: THEN put the eggs in water treated a couple of days before with a water treatment and left open to "breathe".


Input: Leaving a jar with a dozen black worms in it will sate the adult 's desire for snacks and they are more likely to leave fry or eggs alone.


Input: If a pair is n't leaving eggs... check the following:


Input: 1. Is a tank mate (such as another female killie or a Cory or large snails) rating the eggs?


Input: 2. Have we kept up with partial water changes?


Input: 3. Is there too much mineral in the water?


Input: Aplo. lineatus are wide-spread over southern India.


Input: That indicates that they thrive in different water chemistries.


Input: Still if you can get your pet shop to do a hardness or TDS (total Dissolved Solids) test, that may give you a hint.


Input: Winging it a little here, a hardness of 100 to nearly 200 PPM (parts per million) or 5.8 to 10.6 DH should be fine for gardneri.


Input: TDS meters (the thrifty aquarist 's hardness meter can be used if one has seen one of your municipal water department 's annual reports.


Input: They include a number of minerals there and you can figure out what percentage of that would be your hardness minerals (calcium, magnesium and iron).


Input: A number of minerals are not of much consequence.


Input: However if there is a high level of sodium chloride (common salt) that can break down the chorion (shell) around the egg and allow critters to get in and eat the yoke and embryo.)


Input: Ironically sometimes it is wise to newly picked eggs in fresh tap water with some chlorination to kill microscopic critters that ride in with the eggs.


Input: THEN put the eggs in water treated a couple of days before with a water treatment and left open to "breathe".


Input: If you get eggs in the mail in a medicine vial, that is fine.


Input: But get the eggs out, maybe rinsed in fresh tap water and then into the incubation water.


Input: In time the eggs can suffocate in the shipping container.


Input: After a number of people began complaining about "mystery deaths"among incubating eggs, some of the more advanced killie people began suggesting that after 7-8 days of incubation, one should do a 100% water change - as the eggs develop, they do release waste material.


Input: Another problem is that sometimes bad eggs will fungus and the fungus will spread out and kill all the eggs.


Input: Some people put in a very dilute Acriflaven solution to slow down the fungus, so one can take white eggs out with a pipette or eyedropper.


Input: Other will add a drop of Methylene blue.


Input: If an egg turns blue, it had died and then became dyed as the outer membrane broke down.


Input: Get those out ASAP too.


Input: Hope there is useful grist for the mill here.

yorkshire


Input: can anyone give me information about them?


Input: They can be bleak and eerie, often very exposed, often covered with antiquities like bronze age burial mounds, stone circles and settlements--until late in the bronze age they were rich farmlands,then a change in the climate caused the skies to cloud over and rain to wash the goodness from the soil.


Input: The people abandoned their farms and religious sites and the ground they stood on became moorland.


Input: They can also be very beautiful when the purple heather is out, and they are habitat to much wildlife and many species of wildflowers.


Input: why does my baby king snake refuse to eat?


Input: i have a baby eastern king snake.


Input: i have tried EVERYTHING i can to get him to eat but he refuses.


Input: he has a great environment, with water and lots of hiding places and a heat lamp.


Input: as far as i know, everything is as good as it can be where his aquarium is concerned.


Input: according to the vet, he is healthy and looks good.


Input: he has been going to the bathroom like he should.


Input: (i know that snakes that have problems going to the bathroom wo n't eat.)


Input: he has been drinking water (i am pretty sure he has been drinking it out of his bowl, but also i have been feeding him water and he does n't ever give me a problem with that - i just stick his head near the water and he sucks it down.)


Input: i handle him every few days.


Input: he is feisty, as most king snakes are, but he is a very nice little guy - he never tries to bite or anything.


Input: i just love him to death.


Input: i do n't know why he wo n't eat though!


Input: i have tried feeding him 5 or 6 live pinkies and 4 or 5 frozen (thawed) pinkies.


Input: i have never tried feeding him a pinky that was bigger around than he is.


Input: i have tried putting him in a small container and putting him in a dark place for an hour or so and he wo n't touch the pinky.


Input: he crawls on top of them but does not try to eat them.


Input: he does n't seem to know that they are food.


Input: i have tried "braining" both live and dead pinkies, and bloodying them up to get his attention, but he does n't care.


Input: i have tried dipping both live and thawed pinkies in tuna juice, and in used gerbil bedding.


Input: i have bought some long reptile feeding tweezers and have tried holding the pinky in front of the snake 's face.


Input: he wo nt even try to bite.


Input: i am very discouraged and sad and i do n't know what to do.


Input: he has n't eaten in an entire month.


Input: i 've only tried to feed him one at a time.


Input: he 's just a tiny baby, about the width of a pencil.
