My dog Zoe is a year and a half old. She gets left home alone overnight for about 6 hours 2 days a week. My husband tries to come home once during that time to "potty" her, as his schedule allows. We leave the television on for her.

She used to do very well, but a few weeks ago she started chewing some small things: the laser toy, my husband's earbuds, my hair clip. They were all things that had been left in her reach in the living room because she'd never exhibited destructive behavior. We started moving all remotes and "chewable" non-toys when we leave and got her some toys to keep her engaged (a puzzle toy, kong toy with peanut butter in it, etc).

Instead of helping, her anxiety seems to have increased! This week she stole my dirty laundry from our bedroom and dragged it to the couch, and shredded the edge of my electric blanket. I went outside to sign the receipt for a pizza delivery, and she went bonkers, which is new.

I've been thinking she might need a friend. We have a cat, but the cat despises Zoe and won't play with her. My question is, would an older dog friend help, or only double the destruction?

I've noticed while reading manga that character and author profiles always include a blood type. Do the japanese use blood type kind of like we use astrological signs, to determine personality types? (Seems kind of creepy to me.)

Last night, for the second time in my conscious memory, I dreamed I laid a beat-down on Linda Carter, this time for insulting my grandmother. I like Linda, I told her as much as I held her head to the table by her hair, but nobody insults my grandmother.

Seriously, can somebody tell me what my subconscious is trying to tell me here? I've never beat anybody up in my life (except my brothers, but I don't really think they count as "people" ;-p), I never even watched Wonderwoman, and it's not young Linda Carter I'm beating up. It's the older, cameo her. And I really do like her. She seems nice!

Has anybody else been locked out of their yahoo! mail account for the last 5 hours or so? (Netflix has also been down since last night around 6 pm...weird.)

Why does my cat howl every time she poops in her litterbox? She usually uses kitten-like meows when she wants our attention or she's "talking" to us, but when she comes out of the litterbox she howls loudly for a couple minutes, sounding brokenhearted like someone's just died or something.

working in package delivery, I was jumping out of a truck several feet from the ground all day left leg first. I didn't start feeling it until hours later, and now I can barely walk. The pain is on the outside of my left thigh, and it's trying to lift my leg even as much as to put one foot in front of the other that makes it hurt. There's no swelling or bruising, though. Will ice, compression and rest over the weekend be enough, or do I need to see a doctor? I just started this job and am on probation, so I don't want to not get it because I already injured myself. Thanks for any advice!

I'm looking for the title of a movie I saw years ago...all I remember was that I recognized the title when I saw it back then, and that at the end you discover that the bad guy who's been hunting the good guy is in fact the same guy...I think the good guy is a clone?...and the bad guy wants to transfer his own mind into the younger body of the good guy. Wow, that sounds stupid now that I read it, but I seem to remember this being something of an intriguing twist at the end. Anyway, if you can help me with the title, I'd appreciate it!
