?

I have a miniature beagle who is about 6 years old. Today I was playing around with him in the house... I usually chase him around our dinner table. As he always outruns me, He was on the opposite side of me and that's when I heard him scream. I took a glance at him and saw him limping afterwards. Hours went by and I just took him out for a walk. He was having a hard time going up and down the steps in our porch and he still limps when he walks.

I'm guessing he may have pulled a muscle or something? what should I do?

I'm just out of high school. I am 18 years old and started attending a community college yesterday. Nothing about it was terrible, aside from the anxiety pouring out of me when I'm in a classroom. I felt a lack of motivation around the students. No compatibility whatsoever. I rarely identify with students my age. The education is the main reason I'm there but the other side of it is a factor... a symbol of distraction. They practically make you engage in conversation whether you like the person or not. I have struggled with mild depression and social anxiety since I was a child and it has had quite a negative effect on my entire youth. I've tried medication and therapy and it's still there.

an option I've considered is taking courses online. I've been told that I'm very intelligent, but that there is a dramatic improvement when I work independently. I suppose there's no fallacy in that, as a student in high school I struggled... then I took online courses and graduated after boosting my gpa up to 3.3.. and I could've tried even harder. I'm more determined to learn when I'm not distracted and knowledge is something that makes my life worth living... but the academic standpoint isn't the only side of it to me either. My question is whether this is a bad decision? it is MY choice of course, but I'm interested in seeing this from the perspective of others. I want to know if this would be the wrong decision.

there are alternatives I've felt more comfortable with as a means to being around people... getting a job, joining clubs, going to schools for specific interests... etc etc.

i really don't know much about television networks. but i have a question.

let's say someone had a live tv show on a network. "the Mary Hart show" for instance.. and the ratings were very high. let's just say this "mary hart" decided to step away from the show for good because she has no interest in continuing. is there anyone in particular in charge, that would most likely attempt to convince her not to leave in order to keep the ratings up? if so who is more likely to do it? sorry if this is a horrible question.. like i said i really don't know much about this kind of thing and it's sort of personal why i'm asking.

congrats to mavs fans (real mavs fans, not bandwagoners or people who just hate the heat).

will be a long depressing off-season for me..

that's about all i wanted to say. but i'll add a question anyways:

will Dallas ever get back to the finals with this team again?

we just brought home a 40 day old puppy about 2 days ago.. it's a miniature beagle and i've already had another miniature beagle for a few years. at first, i thought they'd get used to each other by smelling each other and stuff. i guess it's just taking longer than i expected?

the new puppy = female

older dog = male

they're related.. it's his daughter. and the MAIN problem is that the father has been drooling excessively all over the house whenever the puppy approaches him.. its disgusting and never ending to clean up.

are they just gonna go on like this for a long time? is there anything i can do?

do you think Dallas would win without question?

i've been reading some of these Lebron/Dirk discussions and just want to confront something. a few people on the nowitzki side have said that it's just an opinion to think Dirk is better.. or even the best player of all time. but not that much later i started seeing them imply that ignorance is the reason why people think lebron is better. is that not a contradiction to what they said in the first place?

i'm not trying to start some dramatic internet fight either. just wondering..

i understand that vinyl records have to be stored standing up. my question is: if i stacked them up on a book shelf.. would it be bad if no more than one inch of the record was sticking out of the shelf a little? i cannot find a shelf that is deep enough to store the entire width of my vinyls..

"with the Heat it's like the old bulls. two stars, great defense. but give credit where credit is due, lebron and wade are the reason why they win games."

he said something like that.. what do you think about it?

of course spoelstra will use wade, lebron, chalmers, and bibby to guard rose in different situations. i expect to see lots of different matchups in this series. but i recently came up with a starting lineup that i personally think would be most effective for the Heat. what do you think? agree? disagree?

PG: Dwyane Wade - i think Wade can guard Rose very well with his excellent perimeter defense and shot blocking ability. he is also very quick just like Rose.

SG: James Jones - he will shoot the 3.. but the bulls defense will probably do a good job to contest his shots and keep him from touching the ball.. especially with Bogans on him

SF: Lebron should be able to match up well with Luol Deng

PF: Chris Bosh - he is pretty much equal to Boozer

C: Joel Anthony - he has been amazing in the playoffs. it hasn't shown in the stat sheet but he has hustled for rebounds and loose balls. he can match Joakhim Noah's physicality and relentlessness better than any other big guy on the heat in my opinion.

then they can have Chalmers come off the bench to guard CJ Watson.

what do you think?

is this when all the idiots come on here or something?

in that case, throw kobe and jordan out of the discussion for greatest of all time, period. unless you want to sound like a complete utter hypocrite. which is find with me.

is scottie pippen, horace grant, dennis rodman, steve kerr, shaq, pau gasol, lamar odom, derek fisher not valid enough of a list to put into the category of supporting cast?

is mo williams a second option that matches up with hall of famers like Shaquille o'neal in his prime or scottie pippen one of the best lock down defenders on the perimeter ever?

and to top it all.. people are acting like they can see the future. how in the world does one know how a player will age? that's like knowing whether derrick rose will have his career slowed down by the time hes 24 due to injuries.. thats not something you can "know". its just a pessimistic way to make lebron seem worse than he is.

he said himself that he was nuts. do you think he is going to say "i'm just nuts. i still think we can win the series" when he steps up to the podium today?

let me start off by saying i wasn't around when he played.. i am not familiar with his career and i don't know much about him. but what i do know.. is that he is a hall of famer who has won ELEVEN nba championships. he has the finals trophy named after him if im not mistaken.

i mean, people always say Michael Jordan is the best with his 6 championships.. and say Kobe is trying to get that many to be considered best of all time. but why doesn't russell's 11 mean anything? he is hardly ever talked about.

i have never complained about refs before. but how does a referee right in front of the play not see steve blake not only slap the ball but kick it out of bounds???

they do have a very good team. but Derrick Rose is the only premier scorer they have on the team. does having your point guard take 25-30 shots a game catch up to you eventually? it puts quite a lot of pressure on rose. i know that luol deng is a good player but he doesn't have a great game every night.. he isn't too consistent. and boozer always chokes in the playoffs despite his good rebounding.

ok, i'm only doing this because of how much people are accusing every heat fan of being a bandwagoner lately.

first off, i used to come on yahoo answers with another account. i would post occassionally on the basketball section about miami but it was very rare for me to be on. only this year i started going on a little more because im not AS busy as i used to be.

i'm going to post a question from that account (now my backup) from a year ago before lebron even signed with miami. and if you look at the account.. it was made in 08. hope this clears that up..

BQ: if you had to pick the two teams that will be in this years finals, which would they be?

he does to me for some reason

i officially don't understand the nba playoff format anymore... i thought the highest seed goes against the lowest seed.. that's why the bulls will go against atlanta.. number 1 seed against number 5. boston/miami is 2 seed vs. 3.

but if memphis defeats the spurs, shouldn't it be lakers against the grizzlies? 2 vs. 8? even on tv they've said it will be the lakers vs. dallas. i don't understand
