Repairing Cat Scratched Couch
Weve tried spraying water and every anti-scratch product on the market. He did start scratching at the recovered couches. Since he was also peeing all over the house, Mario now lives in the garage/outside with a cat door in-between (he was inside/outside before...
Loving Room Paint Color Advice?
It depends on the feel you are looking for. I personally like very warm colors because they feel more homey to me, so that is the palette I used for my house. I recently painted one wall the color of red wine and the others a vanilla ice cream color and my...
Identifying Cat Urine Stains on Hardwood...
You can use a black light - Urine stains glow and water would not. We got one to find where our cat had peed and it was a little appalling.
Fruits and Vegetables That Help You Grow Taller?
I agree with the other posters. Genetics is the biggest factor, but good nutrition in general will allow your body to achieve the maximum height possible in puberty. Once you are an adult, you are pretty much done; however, I grew 1/2 an inch in my late 30s...
Christmas Bath Salts
The lotion was just an unscented lotion with a few drops of essential oils added. The sugar scrub was: 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup Turbanado sugar 1/4 almond oil 1 tsp. vanilla 5 drops cinnamon oil (essential oil or food grade for candies).
What Breed Is My Dog?
Looks like a Terrier mix to me. Maybe a Rough Coat or Wire Jack Russell Terrier mix, Cairn Terrier Mix or something like that. Terriers have long tails and floppy ears at birth, but the pure breed dogs you see in the breed information pictures have had the...
What Breed Is My Rescue Dog?
Id say terrier of some kind. They have a beard like that. We had a purebreed Miniature Schnauzer that looked a lot like your baby when we let his fur grow out (we didnt get his ears cropped so they were cute and floppy like your babys too).
What Breed Is My Dog?
Looks like a Shepherd to me - especially those ears. German Shepherds and shepherd mixes come in all sorts of coat colors. Sure is a beautiful dog.
What Breed Is My Dog?
I think Sharpei mix, which would explain all the extra skin - His muzzle in particular looks more like a sharpeis than a bull dogs. Like most dogs anymore, hes probably a mix of several breeds. You can order a DNA test through the vet if finding out the breed...
What Breed Is My Dog?
The fluffy ears make me think of Spaniel breeds - like a Brittany Spaniel... Its hard to know without doing a blood test. I have a friend who is a vet and she said all they can do otherwise is just guess (and that sometimes the breed DNA test results surprise...
What Breed Is My Dog?
He looks like a Husky to me, but the only way you can know for sure if your puppy is pure breed (assuming he doesnt have papers) is to get a DNA test run at the Vets office. Otherwise its just a guess - especially as even with two pups in the same litter you...
Puppy Won't Eat or Drink?
I also encourage you to take your puppy to the vet. 4 week old puppies dont have a lot of reserves to go too long without eating or drinking. Is he still with the mother? Is he still nursing? If he is still nursing and not taking solid food/water, thats one...
What Breed Is My Dog?
I agree she looks like a German Shepherd to me too. Could be that the mother was the mix and the father was a German Shepherd. Even in the same litter, some pups may look just like the mother and others just like the father.
What Breed Is My Dog?
I would definitely say a lab mix. At that size and with his long face, I would guess lab mixed with with a larger breed dog like a Great Dane or something. Its always a guess... some dogs take after the mother, some after the father and often the parents are...
Dog Won't Eat or Drink?
Many dogs wont eat or drink when stressed, so he may just need time to get comfortable. But since hes so small and you have no idea how long hes been on his own, please take him to the vet. They can also check for a microchip... he may have a family that is...

How big is he and how old is he? All your guesses are small breeds, but if he is is a puppy (say only 6 weeks old) and those are adult hands in the picture - youre probably looking at a larger breed mix.
Puppy Poops on Floor When Left Alone?
It sounds like she has separation anxiety. I had that problem with my dog when we adopted him. You need to desensitize them to you walking out the front door. That means you pick your keys up and walk around with them. Open the door and immediately come back...
What Breed Is My Dog?
I see chihuahua more than anything. Definitely not the build or face of a Basset Hound, but I guess you never know. Some dogs take completely after the mother and some after the father.
Storing Fresh Veggies in Refrigerator?
I dont. I know that things may last longer if theyre kept out of the bag, since the bags can trap in moisture, but if something goes bad, I prefer that the mess be contained in the bag. Plus the drawer ends up with a bunch of little bits of broccoli and stuff...
What Breed is My Dog?
The picture is pretty fuzzy, so its hard to see him well, but from what I can see, he looks like a Pit Bull.
What Breed Is My Dog?
If the mother is Chorkie (a yorkie, chihuahua mix) and the father is a chihuahua, that would make him 1/4 Yorkshire Terrier and 3/4 Chihuahua.
What Breed Is My Dog?
The people at the shelter just guess breed based on appearance. As my vet pointed out, if youve ever seen a litter of mixed breed puppies, you know how different dogs with the same parents/heritage look. I would be more inclined to believe the birth certificate...
What Breed Is My Dog?
What a beautiful dog. How big is she? She looks more like a Bichon Frise to me, but with longer legs (maybe from the terrier side).

What Breed Is My Dog?
Its hard to tell from a picture, but she looks like she could be mixed with boxer or maybe even great dane if shes got big feet. She is certainly a pretty girl. I love the dark mask on her nose. The mask is called a melanistic mask and breeds that carry the...
Returning to Natural Hair Color?
Ultimately its up to you. Hair grows 1-2 inches a month, so factor in how long your hair is and how willing you are to put up with the grow-out. Dying your hair something closer to your natural color will make the process more seamless, or have a stylist do...

What Breed Is My Dog?
Looks like a chihuahua to me. I have a boxer mix and while the markings are similar to a boxer, I really dont think she looks like she has any boxer in her.
What Breed Is My Dog?
PS - We adopted an independent personality dog and he was wonderful! My best advice is to enroll in obedience training as soon as you adopt. It will help your new baby bond with you and see you as their leader. Plus, a well behaved dog is a happy dog (and happy...

Carpet Colour Advice?
I put a light brown carpet that has little flecks of maroon, navy, and forest green in it in my basement and love it. The brown is almost a camel color so its nice and neutral, not too light/not too dark, and little flecks of color make it interesting and hide...
Curtain Colour Advice?
Since everything else is neutral, I would pick curtains that pop. Maybe a rich contrasting color or an interesting pattern that ties in the shades of brown in the room. If you are buying curtains, get some you like and try them out. You can always return them...
Colloidal Silver for Treating Burns

Neighbor's Tree Causing Problems?
First, Willow Trees drink a lot of water, so if there is flooding you may have cracked pipes (willow roots are known to do that) or another issues. Simply removing the tree (and its roots) is not going to fix the flooding problems... Regarding, the neighbor...
Neighbor's Tree Causing Problems?

Adult Son is Argumentative?
I think its up to you - you need to pick your battles. Its reasonable to want to be there when the kids open the Christmas presents you give them, and sending a small present for them to open on Christmas day is a good compromise. Assuming you live nearby, you...
13th Birthday Party Ideas?

What an adorable puppy! Sorry, I dont see anything other than beagle, she must take after mom :)
What Breed Is My Dog?
Its hard to tell since the picture is a little dark, but your cute puppy looks a lot like a lab to me (I have a boxer/lab mix with similar markings). Did you get her from the owner of the mother? If so, she probably is a husky/lab mix like they said - its not...
