For my dog in a contest, what should he be that no one else would be and that farmers would like (Once my mom entered her bloodhound George in pet o ween as a farmer and all the judges loved him, he got 2nd place)




It says something like, "everybody here has sex on their minds"
Its a rock song.
and in the video they are in halloween costumes in a house at a party singing. A girl sings by the way.

I think the snow is bothering my pet frog's skin.?




I took him/her out on a walk today and her/his leash flew off and she/he ran off and came back with a rabbit costume on, and wiped his/her feet/webbed feet on the door mat and hopped back into his/her cage and started reading the newspaper like nothing ever happened.
WHY?

The Police have taken my pet midget!?




Is there anyone out there in the North West area of the UK of diminished height that would like to be employed as my comedic relief and entertain me on a Sunday afternoon with a little dance.
My pet midget Colin has been arrested for steeling a child’s Spider-man costume from the supermarket and going to a school disco and eating all the egg butties.
The pay is good and you can have all the peanuts you want, and I promise not to sing the Humpa Lumpa tune every time you leave a room.

Does anyone else find this disturbing?




Go to this link

then click on pet costumes.




If you have how is it like and tell me all the info and details. I am so excited I love to learn stuff on the things that i get excited about though. I have already been to the website. I am bringing my pet rat and she is entering the costume contest as minnie mouse. I am gonna be watching my rat the whole entire time if she gets scared i have this portable cage i am bringing that i will put her in. I can’t wait. I know there will be snakes and birds and cats i am just gonna watch my rat real carefully. I can’t wait so do you have any info on it. Tell me what you think about pet expo! This is the first time I am going to pet expo as you probably already figured out.
I am going like later so the crowds will probably have calmed down some.
Like it starts at 10:00 am to 6:00 pm so i am probably going a 3 or 4 pm
It is not a pet store it is like a place where you can bring your pet (any pet) and their are tons of things that you can buy from and stuff.

would this fit my pittbull?

There’s a pet store by me that’s having a "Howl-aween" costume contest for your dogs, but I can’t make up my mind whether it’s cute or cruel. Look at this picture http://www.buycostumes.com/Indiana-Jones-Indiana-Pet-Costume/33162/ProductDetail.aspx
it’s cute, but gosh darn that dog looks unhappy. LOL




I looked at my fishies today and noticed hundreds of little white "baggies" hanging from the sides of my tank at all water levels just "blowing in the breeze"; what in the world are they?! They are shaped just like this pirate hook ( http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.piratemerch.com/images/pirate_hook_58275.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.piratemerch.com/pirate-costumes-pirate-costume-accessories-c-58_50.html&usg=__Ea8u2GAGxuwNUIm3wcncuB7GvD8=&h=500&w=500&sz=16&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=yTgDgQo7oEJhwM:&tbnh=138&tbnw=142&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpirtate%2Bhook%2Bcostume%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us%26rlz%3D1I7ADFA_en%26biw%3D1003%26bih%3D577%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=522&ei=ONKHTMfDGoHCnAetm6iCDg&oei=ONKHTMfDGoHCnAetm6iCDg&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0&tx=65&ty=93 ) in which the curved part of the actual hook is chopped off.
Sticking with the picture, imagine: the nub part is frayed at the bottom and loose in the water; the stick/hook portion is stuck onto the sides of my tank. Each is about the size of the end of a pencil lead, and there are hundreds of them: OMG!

The tank was just moved from home to my dorm on Aug 30th, so it is possible that something different is in the water here. I did travel with about 8gal of water or so from home, all the bacteria and wheel were preserved in water through trip, fish were transfered to hot-water-cleaned rubbermade container for transport and reintroduced to tank after it was back up and water running for about 5ish hours by being floated in baggies for about 20min.

I did have an ick-scare (treated 29days with Coppersafe and sponge filter by marineland). Ick scare means I treat preventatively now for three days with Jungle’s Ick Guard II 1xmonth (without carbon filter of course) bc I believe the parasites are in my water.

No signs of fish distress, etc; everyone is perfectly normal. One fished died in hospital tank due to long-lasting, unknown, internal infection/parasite/bacteria(??)… there was nothing more I could do.

***My fishtank, freshwater, tropical community:***

-15gal tall Eclipse System 150gal/hr filtration
-Access to sunlight, but not in direct sun at all (light is just bouncing off white walls lol). Hood’s lamp is used to light and heat tank during the day.
-Heated to a constant +/- 78-80*F by seperate heater always (lamp does so on its own).
-7 Zebra Danios (5F 2M I believe)
-2 Mystery Snails (1 F 1unknown)
-2 Dwarf Gouramis (both F)
-I think that we might have neamatoads (or whatever those little white worms are that come out at night) bc my mom’s tank (same set up and water supply) have them.

-Fish are fed any variety of Tetra’s Bettamin, Tetra Min Tropical Chrips/Granuals/FD Shrimp and Tetra FD Bloodworms & Tetra Algea Waffers.
-No live plants, etc. but tons and tons of fake plants and decorations including a new plant that cover 1/3 the tank’s surface.
-Tank floor is a mixture of sand, "pond rock"/larger stones, and gravel all from LFS and very very old sea shells that have been in our tanks for years.
-API Aquarium Salt is replaced 1xmonth in a small pet-co cup

Any comments or advice will be appreciated. …I’m trying not to worry. Thank you :)
Sarahbeth
To make it clear: there are no parasites/etc on the fish… just whatever this is stuck to the walls of the tank.

Also, I don’t know the water’s quality but it was just changed this past weekend.
Thank you for your reply, Tracy. Could you please clarify this:

"More significantly, trying to kill a bunch of animals in your aquarium means you’re going to end up with lots of decay, and that means poor water quality. Imagine if you killed off a nest of rats with rat poison, but just left the bodies to rot. Bad. The correct approach here is to ignore the worms, and instead control their numbers so the population dies back over time."

Are you saying these things are worms? worm eggs? are you also saying don’t kill them –or that I killed something, like the ick??– and that instead just remove them with the PT method? also, so they’re harmless and sorta beneficial… should I just leave them? I don’t mind as long as the fish are gonna be okay.

Sorry for the confusion! Thanks!!
Sorry: nevermind Tracy. I understand what you are saying now. Thank you! Your comment makes sense :)

Teen/tween unicorn costumes?




So I figured the only way to tame my pet rock is to dress up as a unicorn and go on a road trip in a trailer to Nebraska with the Pope and Dr. Phil. The only problem is I’m having trouble finding an teen/tween unicorn costume. I would say adult but I am very tiny! Please help! And nothing to slutty. Thanks!

Did you dress up your pet[s] for Halloween?




What did he/she/they wear?

My mom’s two dogs were a bumblebee and a ladybug; it’s so d*mn hilarious to see small dogs wearing costumes.
