I am looking for advice from a dog trainer. I am considering adopting a small dog. I am told he has a severe leash phobia. Obviously, he has to get over this and be leash trained. I am not sure how to proceed. I was thinking about snapping a leash on his harness and letting him drag it around...

Are there any geneticists here? I have some questions about the merle gene, and I am not really sure where to go for answers. In my college genetics class, I was told that it was a lethal gene and that animals that were homozygous for the trait died in utero and were never born at all. I have...

I am looking for a strawberry jam recipe. I had it but I haven't seen my notebook with my collection of recipes since I moved. I think it is called Perfection jam. It contains strawberries, crushed pineapple and orange zest. I think the Pioneer Woman had it but I can't find it on her website...

I ended up with five pounds of masa. I have no idea what to do with it. I know it is used for tortillas and tamales, but I will not be making either of them. I was thinking about muffins. Could I substitute masa for part of the flour? Does someone have a good muffin recipe? I like my...

I have been feeding my dogs Purina One for a number of years. I chose it because meat is the first ingredient, it is affordable, and until recently my dogs did very well on it. I don't know if they have changed the formulation or what, but my dogs don't seem to be digesting it like they used...

I made some enchiladas. The flavor was good but the tortillas were gummy. I used flour tortillas. I put in the filling, wrapped the tortillas around it and put them in a casserole dish and baked them. Should I have browned them a bit first or what? I want to make enchiladas again but I don't...

I just made a tuna casserole. I topped it with grated cheese from a bag. I put it in the oven and the cheese did not melt. It ended up being hard chunks the same shape and size as it came out of the bag. I have never had that problem before. Could the fact that the oven temperature was at 425...

For some reason I cannot reach the scrolling tabs on the right side of the page. I have to navigate by using the up down keys which is inconvenient. I have had this happen before but I don't remember what I did to fix it. Turning the computer off and then on doesn't fix it. Any ideas would be...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I have two booklets I no longer have any use for. One is entitled "Anyone Can Build a Tub Style Mechanical Plucker". The other is "Anyone Can Build a Chicken Scalder". I would be happy to send them to anyone who PM's me with their name...

Two people asked me to email them some information on how to control CL. I told them I had to send it by snail mail because the paper I had written was on a computer with no internet access. Evidently they were uncomfortable sending me their snail mail because I never heard back from them...

I just acquired a bread machine. I have made two loaves of bread. The crust is hard, rather like eating a cracker. The bread itself is a little heavier than I would like but still quite acceptable. I set the machine at BASIC WHITE and crust at MEDIUM. Should I set it at LIGHT crust? Any...

I am looking for a simple but tasty dip for artichokes. I usually eat them with mayonnaise with little lemon juice added but I would like something different. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Anybody here have experience with keeping bullfrogs in captivity? I like bullfrogs and I have a pond but if I try to keep either bullfrogs or ducks on my pond they end up as somebody's dinner in very short order.

I am new to using an electric blanket. Do people put a light blanket on top of the electric blanket to keep the heat in? Do you tuck the electric blanket in at the foot of the bed or leave it loose? Anything I should know? Thank you.

My mother lived in California. She had some sort of an adhesive substance she put on the bottoms of knick knacks so they were less likely to fly off the shelves during an earthquake. I have no idea what it was or what it was called. I would like to get some so my cat doesn't knock stuff off the...

I have never used tomato paste much. I will soon be making some sweet and sour ribs in the crock pot. Among other things the recipe calls for 1/4 cup tomato paste. The can I have contains 1/2 cup. What would happen if I put the whole 1/2 cup in, or would I be better off to just freeze the excess?

I have a killing cone and a cream separator for sale. I bought the cone but I have never used it. I want $25 for it plus shipping. I bought the cream separator on eBay but I never used it either. I want $60 for it, plus shipping. The killing cone is new. The separator is used.

I am looking for a home for a really sweet dog. She is housebroken, spade, well behaved, gets along with children and other animals and is up to date on her shots. She is black and white and weighs about 20 pounds. She needs a home with a fenced yard. She likes to tour the neighborhood and...

I just made a kind of stroganoff. It has chicken, mushroom soup, noodles, etc. in it. It also contains a fair amount of sour cream. I was wondering if this dish will freeze satisfactorily without separating or something.

Anybody here have Jersey Giants? I am thinking about getting some chicks next year. I know they are big. I was wondering how athletic they are. Will they fly over a four foot fence?
