What is that animated movie, about an old man in the arctic called?

Q. It also has angry wolves who attack the top of the old mans hut, and maybe a pet dog. It could've also had something to do with soup or pooridge, but I'm not sure.

A. It's not The Black Swan dumbsh-t. It's The Social Network.


I want a dog, but I have expensive carpet and hardwood?
Q. Ok, so, I want to get a small pet dog, but the problem is, my parents bought $6000 Hardwood for the main floor and $12000 carpet for the top floor. The problem with the hardwood is the nails of the dog scratching it. Any accidents can be cleaned up easily. For the carpet, the problem is accidents from the dog. What should I do? I really want a dog!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I would pay for the dog and supplies with my own money.

A. Small dogs are the hardest to train. Might I suggest that you find a medium sized dog that is already house broken (go to your local shelter).

If you do get a puppy, then plan on crate training him or her. Less chance for accidents.


What is the advantages and disadvantages of the pets?
Q. What is the advantages and disadvantages of the pets : Dog , Cat, Budgerigar, Monkey, Tortoise , Rabbit, Parrot, Snake, Goldfish.

A. DOG
Pros: loving, loyal, stress-reliever, obedient, get their owners out and about, are always there to listen and never talk back, love to please, happy to sit with you when you want to relax or cuddle, fun to play with and train, great memories

Cons: cost (vet, food, training), time (which isn't a bad thing, it just takes time to train your dog to be the dog you want it to be), energy (you may be up early to let it out and up through the night, you also need to commit to walking itand playing with it), they live shorter lives than us (sad when they die and we have to live without them, although then you can get another dog to make new memories with)

The pros outweigh the cons in so many that you can't even explain.

CAT

PROS:
- cute and cuddly
- keeps you company
- don't have to walk it
- can tell you if you have supernatural forces in your home
- good for relieving stress
- eats bugs
- Cats can be left alone for a time -- much longer than the average dog -- without problems. This is an advantage for those with complex schedules.

CONS:
- scooping up the litter stinks (literally)
- litter/grit gets all over the floor
- must brush it regularly, otherwise...
- cat hair everywhere (on your furniture, on your clothes, on your carpet, in your food... EVERYWHERE)
- if you don't brush it regularly... cat vomit
- after taking a poop, the cat can (and will) jump on top of your counter top or kitchen table and sit down
- scratches up your furniture

BUDGERIGAR

Pros: They make great household pets because they are small and do not take up much space in a cage.
They are great for small places such as an apt. or a house =)
:they are great small birds for beginners.
they are simple and less demanding and noisy than other birds
very simple and easy to care for
great for children

cons:they never keep quite ( e.g chirping )
they poop alot
they are messy,They tend to flick seeds and feathers outside of their cages a lot

MONKEY

Pros- intelligent companion
Cons--
Screaming
Biting
Hair pulling (to you, they grab and don't let go)
Throwing poop
Very very susceptible to upper respiratory infections and colds, and can catch them from us.
No vet in the area that is trained in exotics in case of emergency
Cages are very expensive
Expensive to feed a proper diet--they can't always just use monkey chow.
Even neutered/spayed they will try to mate. Get used to ignoring sexual behavior, some of it pretty blatant.
Can't always be house trained.
VERY destructive.

Monkies and Apes are NOT good pets! They may be intelligent.. but that actually makes them very complex little creatures! They may be cute too.. but they are terrible pets.


TORTOISE

Pros:
They don't smell
They live a long time
They are surprisingly quick
They aren't boring
They smart
They aren't noisy
They are cool and unusual pets
They are very friendly
Their habitat is easy to set up
It is really cool to watch them eat
they are fairly active, but they are quite about it
They aren't depressing (Person who posted above me said they were)
Kind
Loving

Cons:
It is a little bit hard to keep the proper humidity.

RABBIT

Pros for the rabbit:
Cute
Soft
Simple diet

Cons:
Smelly
They sit in the corner of their cage all day
They aren't the smartest animal
The females can get cancer easily if you don't spay them
Short lifespan
They are usually biters
They aren't cuddly

PARROT @SHWETA Birds themselves do not stink.
Poop overall does not smell but if the birds are in a bedroom or a small room and if you don't clean the cage often then it WILL smell. I have birds and they almost dont stink at all

pros:
Birds like that live a long, long, long time. They get really attached to their owners and when their owner dies before them they have a hard time with their new "family" even if it is a family member of the original owner.
they are super smart and intelligent and they can sing,talk,whistle and do trick as well with proper training
fairly easy to train... once tamed
They are long-lived companions.
Parrots are very social creatures and love to have human interaction.
If you want a pet that will bond strongly with you,then get a single bird.
Given proper training and socialization,a single bird can be every bit as loving and affectionate as a cat or dog.
Birds are naturally very hygienic animals
Birds that are bonded with their owners constantly learn from the person's behavior

Con's
destructive to perches and toys as well as furniture
Cages need cleaned. Constantly
Can sometimes tweet and noise a lot
need
Can fly into things if their wings aren't clipped

SNAKE

sorry dont know

GOLDFISH

Goldfish - Pros & Cons

Pros -
Aren't very picky eaters
Great to look at ( for some people )
No need of heater

Cons -
Very messy
Need lots of filtration
Goldfish grow huge and need a large tank, 20-50 gal or more.gallon tanks, especially comets.

What are the acne like bumps on the top of my Boxer's head?
Q. I was petting my dog on the top of his head and I realized he had many acne like dots on his head. I was wondering what they were, and all of the things I got from searching we're fatal diseases. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what they are.
They're small but there are more than a few. There is still hair on them, and they are just the darker shade of my Boxer's original hair color (brown).

Please and Thank You those who answer!

A. Boxers are prone to folliculitis -- which is basically acne. It's usually on their muzzle though, and can be treated by cleaning the area daily (especially after meals) with soap and water, keeping food dishes clean, and using stainless steel dishes (no plastics).

It's possible that they are symptoms of a skin allergy. Check this thread:

How to protect pet dogs from wild coyotes?
Q. I live in a suburban neighborhood that is next to a major highway, but I can hear coyotes howling at night. My fence is only a 4ft chain link fence. Does anyone know how I can protect my dogs?

I'd never really thought about it, but I saw that there were several coyote attacks in a nearby town. What, if anything, can I do to protect them within reason? I mean, I'm sure I could build a 10ft tall fence with a lid to keep them out, but I'm looking for something I can actually afford to do, short of forcing my dogs to stay inside all day. I've got three dogs, ranging from 20-35lbs. Is there safety in numbers? Is there such thing as a coyote-repellant?

When answering, please specify if you have official knowledge or if you're brainstorming. Thanks!

A. Dusk to dawn are the danger hours mostly. Can you build a run right up next to the house with a top? Or leash walk the dogs at night?

There is a fence top called a Coyote Roller http://www.coyoteroller.com/home but you would still probably need a 6ft. fence to put it on.

We have Coyotes near where I live. Every year there are newspaper stories of small dogs and cats taken from homes near the mountain.

I am not in the danger zone at this time. But I have always tried to keep my dogs safe.

There are predator urines to perhaps deter Coyotes
http://www.predatorpee.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=LE&Category_Code=WU
Wolf Urine supposedly works.

You could also install motion sensor lights to discourage them.

I have not used any of the products. I have lived on a ranch and we used 6ft. tall dog pens with tops and stayed out with the dogs at night and brought them inside after they were done.

Make sure your females if any are spayed also.

Will dogs fight together as a team against a threat?
Q. For example: Let's say you have three pet dogs, and one day a dog or a person came into their territory trying to attack one of your dogs, would the other three come and back him up and all three would defend, 3 on 1 or would it just be that one dog that got attacked would be the only one fighting?
Well, let's say in the example...hhmm...Rottweilers.

A. I have seen both my small dogs and large dogs act as a pack with other dogs...in my experience they follow the lead of the "top dog".

In one case a neighbors dog came into our yard and one dog jumped on his back while the other circled around and grabbed his muzzle to prevent him from biting (I stopped them before they did any damage to the other dog)

I would not expect them to behave the same way with a person.


How are all the dog folks today?
Q. At what age do you think you can evaluate a puppy for certain characteristics of a well balanced work dog. By work I mean farm, hunting, agility, guard etc. not just a typical pet dog?
What attribute do you look for?
Oh good grief what idiot is doing the TD.
Enlighten us as to what an expert you are.

A. I start looking at a puppy, on the rare occasion that I actually get one, at about 6 weeks old when I buy it.
I need to see boldness, huge prey and hunt drives, no defense at all, over the top toy drive and some tractability. I want and must have a dog that is somewhat social, 1000% stable, solid nerved, no environmental sensitivities.
Of course we are talking about a baby here and the results I am looking for should become more evident as time goes on, but, they should be there for all to see at a young age.
Hope I helped.


Is anyone a Top Contributor for 3 or more categories and if so, what are they?
Q. Is there even a limit? I'm a top contributor for reality tv but I'm trying for pets-dogs but it's just too popular I guess. And how many best answers do you have out of curiosity? THANKS!

A. Yes, I am currently a Top Contributor in Yahoo! Answers, Other-Games & Recreation, and Video and Online Games.

Yes, it is possible to get more than 3 categories of TC badges, but only the three that you are most active in will be shown on your profile.

Hope this helps :)
