Question
QUESTION: jHello. I'm not on MSN at the minute but I plan to get on it soon. How do I join MSN? Chance sat at the door last night but as soon as I opened the door he bolted out even thogh I sternly said no. I promise you that as soon as I get on MSN you will be the first person I put on my MSN group. Where do I add you? Do I add you to my friend Feeding Chance is a nightmare but I will work on that with him when I have the door and everything else sorted out.
Danielle and Chance. Chanc's vision has completely gone. He started banging into things really bad and had a little seizure so I too him to the vets again and she confirmed that he is now completely blind. Since he can't rely on his vision any more we need to change tactics I think. The poor dog.

ANSWER: Now he has lost his vision he will be about 90% harder to train and he will be less willing but we can keep trying =]

For msn, you need to go to google, then type in msn in the search bar, then it will have a download bit on one of the pages, just follow the steps and it will tell you what to do, when you get this far, let me know.

Whats the matter with chances feeding?

QUESTION: Hello. Chance's problem with feeding is one he can't find the food nad two he jumps and knocks all the food everywhere. Then when we put his food down for him he goes mad chasing his tail for ages before he eats it and barks and gets so excited that he starts gagging. He doesn't like household appliances either. He attacks everything like the ironing board and the hover and hair straigtnrs and everything wlse with a plug and he has eve started attacking the plug sockets and the plug itself which is dangerous because we would like to live, He has a litttle kennel thing like a cat box that he goes into and starts barking. He only started doing that when he lost his vision. He only does that when people he doesn't know come into the house.
Danielle. He shouldn't be in there barking in thre first place should he?

ANSWER: Well, as im sure you understand, imagine being so young and suddenly without any warning you go completely blind, can you imagine how scared he is feeling, and because he is still young he has relied so much on his sight and hasnt had much time to experience things by smell, which is how he will have to navigate now, but at the moment he will be confused and frightened, so you have to give him a chance, like his name asks.

QUESTION: Hello. I know exactky how Chance must feel and how scared he is feeling. WHen I was little I had alot molre vision than I have now. Without warning my vision got worse when I was very young. Now I have 3 meters tunnel vision in my left eye. I have never been able to see out of my right eye. At least he doesn't bolt out of the house now andhis table manners is alot better. When he knows we are eating he just goes into another room and sleeps. He doesn't pull on walks but stays right beside us. I will give him a chance. He does very well in the house. I have got my cats ashes back in a casket that is sealed shut and won't open. The fish are doing great, especially Mr magnifico Dasher. I'm thinking of getting a pleco catfish or as I call them fishzilla because they grow huge. I'm going bowling tomorrow.
Danielle and Chance.

Answer
Hello,
Sorry i cant remmeber the original question, but what is your tank, coldwater or tropical, and your godzilla fish has to be in tropical tanks, and your right, they grow huge and when there fully grown need atleast 200 or more litres so your better getting the smaller species that dont grow as big, ive had mine for 1 yr in a 200 Litre tank and he is already about 15cm and they grow to depending on species 30-50cm, but you can buy some that only get to 15cm
