I have a gorgeous little Korean mixed breed dog called Brie. I love her to pieces and I've had her since she was only 4 weeks old (she's 18 months now). I aquired her accidentally but I could never let her go and I plan to take...

royalkaliber I would advise you to consult an expert on dog training to help you attempt to overcome your dogs aggression. It is possible that there could be something this person could do. However, I would caution you. Do not EVER trust your dog. From experience I have...

I have recently discovered the Amelia Peabody mysteries by Elizabeth Peters, and I am devouring them at the rate of one book every 2-3 days. What I like so much about her is not only the novelty of the mysteries in each book (they...

Pillars of the Earth is my all-time favorite novel. The tale is epic, the cathedral building aspect is facinating and the characters range from lovable to absolutely horrible. It's such a wonderful story. I was just on Follet's...

royalkaliber I also love Pillars of the Earth. It is my favorite by Ken Follett, but he has written many others I like also. What I enjoy about him as an author is that none of his books are even remotely similar. Jackdaws is one of my other favorites. My favorite part...

Do any of you live in california? How do you feel about the new laws trying to get rid off all pitbulls? It kills me I love pits, they are so sweet. Why would anyone want to kill them?

royalkaliber I agree with the some of the above responses. Pitt Bulls have been given a bad rap, but it is mostly due to irresponsible breeders and owners. I have known several pitt bulls, most are nice, but some have been aggressive. When dogs are bred for fighting the...

I will never forget an incident in which we were visiting a friend at their house and the dog was sitting on the floor in front of us. This dog, a medium-sized pit bull that had never shown any real signs of violence in its life,...

royalkaliber I am a die-hard dog lover, and I hate to see dog's put down, but in a case like this with aggression towards a person I wholeheartedly think the dog should be destroyed. Almost always it is the result of how a person (either past or present) treated the dog,...

royalkaliber If she doesn't live with you how is it her business? She sounds like a busybody. I would use a stronger B-word, but don't want to get in trouble. My inlaws are the same about the pets my husband and I have. I grew up with pets, dogs and cats and various pocket...

What do you look for in a horse? Height, athletic ability? temperment? soundness? Breed? Age? Color even? I personally don't have a horse here right now, but I am hoping to buy one in the future. I would like to find a 7-12...

royalkaliber I have the same problem with height! I am not so terribly tall for a woman, but in the hunter ring you must match your horse so finding a suitably tall horse (without paying megabucks) is always a problem. My first horse was a QH, and he was far and away the...

royalkaliber Although beagles are a relatively cheap breed to buy generally, I would like to point out that in a lot of cases rescue dogs are not as much. My dog was microchipped, nuetered, rabies shot given and adopted all for only $65. This is due in part to Animal...

I've heard that true Palomino's have Red eyes. Is this true and are true Palomino's a breed or simply a color? (Either way its one of my favorite "colors")

royalkaliber Just wanted to clarify also that some breed registries do not allow paliminos, or rather they only register horses of certain colors. Example: friesans, lippizanner, andalucian...

royalkaliber My dog is a husky/carolina dog mix, and I chose him at a local shelter. He had only 3 days left before he would be put to sleep if he was not adopted. He is smart, beautiful and healthy. Mutts rule!

royalkaliber I think obedience class is worth it for most people and dogs. I had already trained my husky0carolina dog mix to sit, lie down, walk politely on a leash, etc. but we are going to obedience with him because 1. I have an interest in getting him certified as a...

royalkaliber BTW it is because these animals have a larger surface area to mass ratio. That is why the answer of elephant is wrong. It has a smaller surface area to mass ratio.

royalkaliber The animals which come closest to eating their own weight are the really small mammals and birds who have incredibly high metabolisms. Example would be tiny mice and shrews, hummingbirds.
