  • How do I hide the number of profile pictures I've had?

    On Facebook, if you look at some other profiles, you'll see some show how many profile pictures they've had and some don't. I'm just wondering if anyone knows why or how I can make mine not show?

  • Calling all experienced duck/chicken owners?

    I am looking to get some ducklings. I live in Maryland so our main problem is raccoons. My neighbors have chickens and they just built a new coop for them because they kept getting eaten. I am fixing up the old coop in hopes of making it raccoon proof and having a safe place for my ducks. The coop is in the middle of a fenced in pen that is about 13x22ft. What works best for keeping out raccoons? Im also trying to do this as cheap as possible. I am also going to be spending ALOT of time with these ducks/duck so I'm not sure if I can just get 1 and it would be okay or if I should get 2 because Ive read if you have 1 they become very attached to you and I would love that. I am planning on locking in the ducks every night but didnt know if there were any other precautions I could take to insure my ducks safety. Also if I got a goat or pig to keep in with the ducks would that keep out the raccoons? Thank you so much!!

    The enclosure is similar to this but longer on the right handed side:

  • Wanna help me name my stray pup?

    We are adopting a male dog from an animal shelter and are trying to think of a good name for him.

    FEEL FREE TO JUST LEAVE WEIRD NAMES--ANYTHINGS APPRECIATED!

    Here's some details if you want:

    he was a stray in TX

    he's only about 6 months

    he is small (about 14 lbs.)

    he has huge ears

    he is a little wire haired and black with some tan eyebrows, paws, and muzzle

    hes from Irving, Texas(maybe something cowboy-ish? texan name?)

    our dog we have now is named libby so something that would sound nice with her name

    we like some thing normal and weird (our friends dogs names are chloe and soda)

    we love funny names that would still be a good dogs name (soda)

    but most of all just a dog name

    WE APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL IDEAS!

    THANK YOU so much in advance!!

  • What to do now? Do horses help with depression?

    I haven't been completely diagnosed with depression yet but my therapist told my mom she thinks I have depression with ADHD. My mom doesn't really think I have it that seriously because I don't share everything with her so she really wouldn't be able to understand why I would be depressed. She just thinks its because of stress from school when it is really my family, it also happens to run through my dads side so he would be able to understand better than she could but he is really one of the main reasons for my depression. I havent talked about everything with her so she doesn't know the whole story and neither does my mom. I personally know I have serious depression. My therapist had my mom make me an appointment with a woman who is suppose to figure out exactly whats wrong and diagnose me/give me medication at the end of October but I honestly dont think I can wait that long. It seems to be getting worse every day. There's just so many things going on with family and I strongly believe that no one in my family loves me anymore. I have had a pretty rough child hood growing up in a big family, being neglected by my siblings and having an alcoholic father whom I used to have there for me when my siblings pushed me out, until he became an alcoholic. have been suicidal for the past couple years but have been holding myself back because of my religion. Any way I absolutely LOVE animals and they are really the only things that make me happy and help me forget about my sadness and the pain when I am around them. I have always had different small rodents and we have had a family dog but I really want something bigger of my own that I can share my feelings with and talk to so that I can have something I can put my love into and have something to live for. I have heard horses are great for this kind of thing but since we dont have enough room for one, I was thinking a miniature horse. We have a little over 3/4ths of an acre in our yard. My parents know I really want a miniature horse but think I want one simply just because. They don't know the reasons behind why I want one. They say we cannot afford one although my dad seems semi interested, but I think that if my parents knew the reasons behind why I wanted it and that I really am depressed, they would let me get one. I know the solution should come from my family but if you were in my situation, you would see the wound cannot be mended. I have tried everything and an animal is really my last hope. I guess my question is what to do now and if horses really do help with depression. Thank you so much!

  • Miniature horse house?

    How big and what style should my miniature horse's outdoor house be? I've seen some examples of using dog houses but want something a little roomier so that I will be able to go in it with her. I wouls also like to build it my self or have my husband build it with a bunch of wood we have in our shed from his construction business.

    Maybe something like this?

    but with some sort of door on the front. If you have miniature horses or have any ideas that would work better they're much appreciated! Thank you!

  • What do you do when you foster a dog?

    Do you have to pay for the medical, food, etc. or does fostering a dog only consist of keeping it in your house and giving it somewhere to stay? I have always wanted to do this and was just curious of the details. Any additional information on the subject is appreciated! Thanks!

  • mousetrap car..............again?

    How to build a Mousetrap car!!!!?-AGAIN!!!!

    i need to make it for school. there are 3 different tests: the 1st is to go really fast for at least 6 feet, the second is to pull a little cart of light balsa wood that u add increments of Penny's adding a penny each time(we have to get at least 25 pennies because that means that we r in the Competition), and the last test is that it can go as fast as it has to but it must stop at exactly 12 feet. remember, these aren't in one test, they are 3 different ones, but that doesn't mean that we can change the car except one wheel if we must during the Competition. we have about 2 weeks in school to work on this so it must not be very hard to construct. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are using KNEX wheels: we r trying 2 figure out wat the difference is between having 2 wheels in the front or having 1 wheel in the front(both with 2 in back) and having large wheels on both front and back or having medium on front and large on back or samll on fronnt and medium on back etc.(any combonation of large small and medium) we really need help!!! and THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING!!!
