Leopard geckos are naturally found in Iran, Afghanistan, Western India and Pakistan, residing in deserts and arid grasslands. They like the dry and rocky landscapes, and because they are nocturnal animals, they spend the day beneath rocks and in burrows. Leopard geckos are terrestrial animals, spending much of their time on the ground; they rarely climb, and when they do, they can become clumsy.India sent leopard geckos to the United States from 1960- 1973 for legal protection; this is where the first high-yellow-phase banded bloodlines came from. Pakistan began exporting their leopard geckos worldwide later on; many captive-bred leopard geckos are the descendants from Pakistan ancestors.In the wild, leopard geckos tend to appear in one standard yellow color with black spots. It is thought that this is to help camoflage them from predators. Also, their bumpy skin helps to blend them into their surroundings, once again another camouflage they have to protect them from predators. But, in captivity, leopard geckos have developed into many different morphs (colors and patterns); many of which have developed from genes in wild caught leopard geckos.

The English Bulldog is a small, compact dog, that is considered a large breed because of its weight. They make great house pets because their thin skin and coat create concerns leaving them outdoors 24/7. This breed is great with children and adults, alike. At times the dog can be very clownish and gregarious, but for the most part English Bulldgos are laid back and very affectionate.English Bulldogs can live on average of 8 years, give or take. But remember daily exercise, proper nutrition, and plenty of love!

Crested geckos are fairly new to the pet market when compared to other pet reptiles and geckos in the trade. But, that doesn't mean they are any harder to care for. Actually, they make one of the best beginner reptiles because of their ease in captivity. Although, the average lifespan is unknown, it is estimated that they can life an average of 10-15 years like most other pet geckos when at their optimum health and care. So, when bringing home a crested gecko, you should be familiar with how to properly care for the species and how to choose a healthy gecko. Because even if you know everything about the care and husbandry of crested geckos, if you bring home a sick gecko, you may be in for a long ride.

My father has started deep frying our Thanksgiving Turkey the past several years. He started when he went camping with his brother, who had been frying turkey for a year. When they were camping my uncle fried a turkey for dinner, one night. My father was hooked. From then on, Thanksgiving is no longer a baked turkey, but a fried one. When you fry turkey you need to take a few precautions, as if you're not careful, it can and will catch on fire. It is the number one fire hazard during the Thanksgiving season.

Great Danes are the true gentle giants. Where the small breed dogs believe they are much larger than they are, most Danes, believe they are mush smaller. Many Great Danes are nothing more than lap dogs, or at least think they are.Great Danes tend to be the Beta in the Alpha-Beta dog roles, but as with everything else, there are exceptions to the rules. And, just because they are such a large dog, it doesn't mean that they are outside dogs. These dogs are actually much better inside dogs, as they have thin coats that cannot keep them warm in the cooler months, or at night. So unless, you can provide a heated dog house, you may want to dog proof the bathroom, utility room, or kitchen. Or just let him on the couch. ;-)

Small dogs can be trained to use a litter box. They are actually great candidates for litter boxes because they have small bladders. Having a litter trained dog can be beneficial to allow the dog to "go potty" whenever they need to. This is helpful when you are at work and cannot let the dog outside.

Lately, I've gotten into Drowning Pool's CD's "Sinner" and "Desensitized." I am a big fan of the group, but since they have changed singer, my interest in the group has faded. I find that they truly have gone "Full Circle" with their new CD. And, that's not a good thing. They are back to their previous lyrics and tone, which is not necessarily a bad thing, I just preferred the sound of "Desensitized" with Jason "Gong" Jones', who is know with the band AM Conspiracy.

They, also, bred the dog down to a smaller size for city living.The dogs were about 20 pounds when they reached England. There, English breeders, reduced the size further. They are those who are responsible for the different colors the Poms now come in.
