  • Trying to potty train a four month old puppy?

    I am trying to train a puppy. I got him about 1 month ago. I take him for two walks a day and take him outside every half hour. Lately, as soon as we get back inside, he pees in the house right away. What am I doing wrong? I praise him every time he goes outside and don t punish him for going inside because I read that it makes them feel embarrassed about their bodily functions. Any tips?

  • Can a dog breeder sue me?

    The dog breeder said she would sue me for harassment because I sent her four emails (all of which she replied to). She did say in the last one to stop bothering her and I replied to it.

    All I wanted to do was say my piece that I was not happy about her judging me so quickly. She refused to sell me a dog because I asked how much she sells them for. I just wanted to know to save up enough because, because I did go through her website and she was the best quality breeder that I felt i could trust the most.

    Can she actually sue me for this? I am in Ontario. I know I can just reply to her suit with a discrimation claim but still. Do I wanted to do that? Not really.

  • Hand swollen and almost black after karate?

    We were sparring in karate last night and I noticed in the middle of it, that the side of my hand was very swollen. This morning, parts of the swelling and on its side is dark brown, almost black.

    I don't know if I broke anything, but I assume it would hurt more if I had broken it. I can't really use this hand much, though. Even typing hurts. I don't know if it is worth going to the clinic, or if I should just let it pass.

    Thanks!

  • Getting oil paint out of caulking?

    I was painting yesterday and after cleaning out my brushes and my paint knife, I realized the caulking that runs around my sink is stained in blue. I tried using Oxy Clean, Borax and rubbing alcohol while scrubbing. NOTHING WORKS! Am I doomed with this stained caulking?

    Does anyone know how to take it out? Thanks.

  • Writing a resignation letter for someone who never gave you hours?

    I ''work'' for a tutoring agency, and the man was prejudiced against people that don't have their own cars but he still hired me anyway. I have been tutoring for 6 years and this has never been an issue, I have never been late or had a problem getting to my students.

    Anyway, I want to resign. I want to find another job without having to think about ''what if he calls me and wants me to work while I'm at my other job?'' and I just don't want to work for someone who has such poor follow up skills anyway.

    My question is: How do I write a resignation letter for this man? It's not like I can thank him for the valuable experience he gave me, because I never got to work.

    Thanks!

  • Is my braces cleaning routine good?

    When I wake up in the morning, I brush, gargle mouth wash and use my Waterpik. I brush everytime I eat (if I have the chance) and before going to bed, I brush, floss and use my Waterpik. I also use a fluoride rinse once a week but will do it everyday before bed once all the wires go on. I do not want anything to go wrong (like discolouration and cavities). I also have a few very superficial cavities I am trying to reverse.

    Is this good or am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks!

  • Ear problem and dizziness?

    My ear drums are inflamed and when I went to the doctor, because my ears were popping, he said they were swollen. He prescribed drops to me and I have to put four drops in each ear twice a day. I did a few hours ago, and now I'm super dizzy. I can't handle moving too quickly and loud noises are a huge no no right now. I am wondering if it's about the liquid that I put into my ears? Is it going to go away?

    Thanks.

  • Is taking Melatonin bad?

    Here's the backstory and don't judge. No one is safe from addiction.

    Three weeks ago, I had the flu and my boyfriend bought me some Gravol. It knocked me right out and I have had problems sleeping for a few months. I loved the way it could make me sleep so easily. I started taking Gravol simply because I was bored and didn't have anything better to do was sleep. Then I started wanting more and more, and I started getting scared because I've never felt that way taking pills. I talked to him and my mother and I told them I thought I was addicted to it. They both agreed and I've gone cold turkey on it since.

    I talked to my aunt about the addiction and she lent me some Melatonin to try. She said it's not really like taking Gravol because it's a vitamin. Now, my boyfriend is worried, he said it's still taking pills and it will mess with my natural sleeping habits and it will replace them with unnatural sleeping habits, if I take pills to sleep.

    Is Melatonin okay, or is my boyfriend right?

  • Put makeup on and now I have something that looks like a stye?

    I only wear makeup like 3 times a year. I get styes 5-6 times a year and this is the biggest stye I have ever had.

    I have tried polysporin for styes and the hot water facecloth but none of it works.

    Is going to the doctor warranted or is it not that big of a deal? It's very painful and itchy.

  • How often should I change ALL the water in my aquarium?

  • My betta's stomach is swollen and he swims face down into his rocks?

    I always wash his tank once a week, feed him a little bit every day and everything. I don't think I did anything wrong and I'm very observant of his patterns. For reading week, I left him with a friend and I didn't wash his tank for a week and a half because I was gone. I washed it the second I came back and when I put him back in, he wasn't his normal hyper self. I think she overfed him and not cleaning his tank for a week and a half is not something he is used to. His stomach is swollen and he's not swimming. Sometimes he flops on his side but he's not dead because he's still breathing. Sometimes he swims but he's not hyper like he normally is. Now, he's had his head dug into his rocks with his tail up for hours. I try to use my net to force him to come up and swim but it doesn't work.

  • How to deal with leaving my boyfriend for his own success?

    I left my boyfriend last night for his own good. He's an engineering student and the more his program progresses, the less time he has. I felt like I needed to take myself away from the situation for his own good. I know how much he cares about his program and I love him so much I decided to sacrifice my emotional state for him to be able to succeed.

    How do I deal with this and what should I do?

  • How do guys feel when the girl pulls back in the relationship?

    My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year, he's'in engineering and I know it's'a super demanding program so I give him a lot of space, especially during exam time. However, I feel neglected. Whenever I need comforting, all he says is "sorry" and that's'all I get. Not a 5 minute phone call, not anything more comforting than a stupid "sorry" that really doesn't do anything.

    I decided to pull back, and give him even more space because now, I need space. How do guys feel when girls do that? I didn't break up with him.

  • Everything in my head gets loud, fast and harsh?

    Does anyone else get this? I can't explain it well, but I have moments, especially when I'm really tired, or in bed where everything is so loud in my head. Whispers can sound like screams, everything seems so fast, every little moment looks exaggerated to me. Does anyone know what this is? I'm 19, but it used to happen a lot more when I was a child. How do I get rid of it? It's annoying and I hate it. Also, I'm not ADHD or anything, so it can't be that.

  • What to do with an emotionally abusive parent?

    I don't know what to do anymore. There is not a day that goes by where I don't cry for hours anymore. All she does is yell at me, call me names, she makes me feel like she hates me. Like if I died, she would be a happier person. I'm really at my wits end with her, and it's not like I can afford to move out. I do have a job, and I'm going to be 19 soon, but I need to save up every penny from that job for my second year of university because money is really tight this year. My dad has cancer and is not working right now, and I want to help my parents out as much as I can with paying for it. But, it's not healthy to live here, and I don't know what to do, I really don't. My mom tells me things that no good parent would tell their child, that I'm a lost cause, that I'm ungrateful, she constantly yells at me, and always picks fights with my step dad too. She's out of control and thinks she;s always right. She's making my depression twenty times worse than it already is, and I already have so much to deal before her abusive. I stay cooped up in my room now, afraid of what she might do next, I am legitimately afraid that my mother will start hitting me. How do I deal with a very emotionally abusive parent?
