Lou

My dog Misty has been ill recently. She was taken to the vets and they believe she has some kind of cancer. I just want to know the odds of her surviving if she does have it. She means the world to me.

(She is a lurcher and she was three this August)

He's quite into games and like anime so any ideas I would be grateful

My best friend is turning thirteen soon and he's always wanted a gecko. Me and my other best friends are thinking of getting him one but before we consider it seriously we would like to know if they are good pets, how to care for them and the kind of cage it would need. We were thinking we could possibly renovate a aquarium so we would also like advice on that too.

My mum told me that she's considering adoption. I told her I dont mind but I'm not sure how I feel about it. I've always wanted a brother or sister but I'm not sure because if it doesnt go right then there's no going back. I don't want to stop my mum because she's so excited about it but I'm just scared that we won't get on when he/she turns up

Ive had my two lurchers for nearly 3 years, one male and one female

Naturally they're all grown up now as still little terrors but we've began to notice that our female is ALOT skinnier than our male, we know that he would be more well built than her but she is really skinny, I was wondering what a natural weight for a grown-up female lurcher should be?

She eats everything that our male does and portion sizes are the same plus stolen food :)

I rode fine all the way up until a summer camp last year, A horse took a really bad refusal and this girl went over and she landed flat on her back, that didnt totally put me off but then the same horse did it to me but I didnt fall off because I was gripping the reigns so much.

I ride with my best friend, its not that I want to impress people but Im scared of them thinking me a coward, I cant jump more than a few holes and even at 1-1 Im still scared, Ive tried all the horses and I cant gain any confidence, it almost always goes wrong, its got to the point where I sort of cry out when she jumps, can anyone help ?
