Farhi jacket how much?
You should try Yahoo shopping in whatever country you are from and search there. Try including the name of the jacket if it has one or style of the jacket. Below is a search option I used in the US you can also try shopping.com but remember you can probably buy much cheaper online than you can in a shop so dont take this as a given.

What is a 'F-A-G Tag'?

I remember in school kids used to say it but I'm not sure what it meant.





Was it your shirt tag popping up and over your collar?





OR





When the tag was sewn onto the back under the neck?

What is a 'F-A-G Tag'?
A small loop on the back of a mans's shirt between the shoulderblades at the top of the pleat. n.
Reply:When your shirt has a little loop right in the middle of the back where the seam is from the shoulder part to the back part. Right between the shoulder blades

What shoulder problem do I have?

On Sunday I was riding on a run away horse and when I grabed the rains when I droped them, I think I did something to my shoulder. The day after, my shoulder blade started to hurt a lot and today my collar bone started to pop. What should I do?

What shoulder problem do I have?
X-ray right away. See what Dr. says, and press for an MRI.


The shoulder is the most unstable part of our body and the easiest to get out of line. LUCK
Reply:Make sure you go to a Doctor. Either you pulled something or you broke something! Thats very serious!

What really works?

ok i am trying to find what to do when dogs fight. we have two female terriers who absolutely hate each other. we try to keep them apart, but accidents happen. they are fine with any other dogs, but not each other for some reason or another. well, we need to know what to do incase they get in another fight as we are tired of getting bit separating them.





our current method is to have one person grab one by the collar while the second gets the other dog by the collar and the third pops their jaws open. this works, but results in someone getting bit usually.





what have you tried that works and should you even try to break it up?

What really works?
are both of them spayed? Unaltered bitches do tend to be more aggressive than spayed.





Throw a blanket over them.. or dump/spray water.. when the dogs are shocked at the water or blanket, then grab them.





I also reccommend getting a professional involved.. either a trainer or a behavoirist.








Sometimes you get 2 females that just will NOT get along.. you have to crate and separate them at all times.. take more precautions to keep them separated.. invest in some baby gates.





If spaying and training does not solve your problem, and its impossible to keep them separated at all times, it would be best to consider rehoming one of them. Its not worth someone getting bit or injured.





DO NOT let the dogs "fight it out"! Some dogs will fight to the death!
Reply:I have found a pitcher of water to be handy. But was outside when that fight broke out. I had a baby duck, in a pen in the yard at my parents, my chi, thought it was his, as we were raising it in the house at my place. My parent's chi, thought it should be his new toy, as it was in HIS yard. I was bringing water out for the duck to swim in, and they started at it, and before I thought about it, I dumped the whole pitcher on them! They both stopped fighting and looked at me like I was nuts! They don't fight anymore.





Yes you want to break it up if it's truly nasty, if it isn't, they may just be establishing dominance, and might stop before it gets dangerous, but you don't want to let them actually hurt each other.
Reply:buy each dog a muzzle and try getting them use to each other without having them be able to bite each other.
Reply:You should leave them alone when they fight and let them figure out who is in charge. Dogs do this to learn which is dominant over the other, it is a natural "pecking order" type of behavior. The reason you get bit is because you are getting in the middle of something that the dogs need to resolve on their own, humans shouldn't intervene. Would you try to break up two wolves that were fighting? Dogs come from the same stock as wild dogs or wolves, same deal.
Reply:My grandma had 20 or more dogs and as you say accidents do happen, and what she used was water it really works. GL
Reply:Get citronella spray. Spraying them while they are fighting will disorient them and most likely cause them to disengage without hurting them in any way. Most pet stores carry the spray.
Reply:Terriers are extremely jealous by nature..I had two rat terriers once that were always competing for my affection...Let them see you petting one while petting the other and let them feel they are getting equal attention..crazy but it works.
Reply:Squirting them with the hose works wonders. Grabbing each by the tail works well too but if you want the behavior to stop you need to keep a close watch on them and stop the fight before it starts. It's not that hard.
Reply:There is no easy way to separate dogs that are fighting. You are very lucky no one has been seriously injured (that includes you and the dogs). If they aren't spayed, that may help, keeping one crated while the other is out, rehoming one, or finding a trainer/behaviourist may be able to see the triggers and help work out a solution.


Do the shocking dog collars work well with keeping a dog in a yard?

I have a fenced in yard but my dog just jumps the fence.we have to keep him on a lead and he still pops his head out of ANY collar!do shocking dog collars work?or any other suggestions?

Do the shocking dog collars work well with keeping a dog in a yard?
Electronic collars are more humane that letting your dog get hit by a car, truck, etc...





However, they do not train your dog, that is your job. Just because a dog has an e-collar on does not make it a well behaved dog. A dog must be trained, preferably on a pinch collar to start with until they understand what command you want them to do. The pinch collar, transfers well to an e-collar because the stimulation is in the same area and very similar. So making a command and correction with a pinch collar, is similar to doing the same with an e-collar, you can just do it from a farther range.





Once a dog understands that it will give them a new found freedom, he will look forward to you pulling it out and going for a good run. I use mine for hunt training, but I use it for general obedience as well. I can walk 3 dogs, off of one unit (3 collars), off leash to the local elementary school. I can let them run the entire field, which is about 10 acres, and only when they start to stray do I give them a light shock, correcting them to stay closer to me. I can be there with all my dogs, half of the field being taken up by a soccer game with lots of people, and keep my dogs on our half of the field so that they don't bother anyone else, but still get their exercise. One or two light corrections is usually all I need to set the boundries for my dogs.





As far as the fence jumping thing.....start on a lead with a pinch collar. The collar must be snug when you put it on, which means it should be snug enough that you have to pull the links apart to get it on the dogs neck. Get him up to the fence, have someone on the other side of the fence trying to coax him over. When he tries to jump up on the fence, give him a quick correction. You shouldn't have to pull to hard, a little pressure goes a long way with a properly sized pinch collar. Two or three corrections, should do it if someone continues to try to coax him over, he should stop jumping up. Give lots of praise when he does what you want him to do. I would do this twice a day, for a few weeks, this may take care of your problem altogether.





If you are interested in using an e-collar, buy a good one, I use tri-tronics. The only issue is that if you put him in the back yard with the e-collar on to prevent him from jumping the fence, you have to watch him like a hawk, and everytime he tries to get up on the fence you have to make a correction until the behavior changes. If he sometimes get a correction and sometime not, he won't learn anything.





Find a trainer who advocates use of an e-collar, and have them teach you how to use it. They are a great tool that will give you peace of mind, and your dog a new found freedom, because you can control him from a greater distance.





Best of luck.





Aside - All dog training should be positive, because if the dog does what you want, positive reinforcement is the key to changing behavior. If you don't use any negative reinforcement, you can never change a dog's behavior. Waiting for a dog to do something you want to give positive reinforcement, takes way longer to train than if you make the dog do something you want to give it positive reinforcement. I have never heard anyone having success through only positive training.





Also, if used properly, they will not cause any physical or mental harm.
Reply:yes they do work and they are not cruel to the dogs,a little shock is better than the injuries or death it can have from a car when it jumps the fence.I used one on a


Great Dane I had for awhile she too would jump the fence.the collars don't hurt the dogs it startles them more than anything.I put it on my bare skin and it didn't hurt me.good luck
Reply:yes
Reply:It work's well with most dogs. There are the few that will run through them but since your yard is fenced, the dog is not going to take the time to jump a fence while being shocked. And it's not cruel. In your dogs defense I'm sure he rather run around the yard then be tied up.
Reply:They are not "cruel devices". They don't hurt that bad, I know because I tried them out on myself, highest setting, BEFORE putting one on my dog. Well, actually it was automatice bark collar - which only worked for 2 days. After that he was too smart and figured out he could turn the collar around his neck and it wouldn't shock him anymore...


But as far as the shock goes, it's strong enough to get their attention. It only takes a couple times of getting zapped before they figure they better not do what they were doing anymore.
Reply:They work, but make sure the lines are spaced very far away from each other.





Funny/sad story coming.





Installed one of the same kind of "invisible fences" like you're thinking of, buried the lines to where it would go out our garage door and into our back yard (they didn't really give us a lot of line to work with). Apparently we put the lines too close together, we had the setting on "medium" after attempting a "low" setting and our dog running away (cocker spaniel mix, not but maybe 40 pounds). We let our dog out and it immediately started yelping as it ran out into the yard, started running in circles then immediately ran back into the garage whimpering and shaking.





When it first happened I was upset that the dog was hurt (and coincidentally got rid of the "invisible fence"), but looking back it was kinda funny at the same time.





Call me cruel but I'd laugh if it was a human that did that too.
Reply:Sure didn't work on the golden mix I got from a rescue group. He was found wandering around, wearing a broken invisible fence collar, a choke collar, and no ID. Somebody put too much trust in the invisible fence.
Reply:I am a positive dog trainer. The use of electronic devices using "special" collars are really a soft term to lessen the impact of the truth - you are using electric shock on your beloved pet. Raise the height of your fence instead. Electroshock has been proven to harm animals both physically and behaviorally - why would you want to do that? You could very well be setting your dog up to cause him to bite a person or other dog in the future by using electroshock. Find a positive based trainer in your area, try using the APDT as a referral source.
Reply:No!!! They are very cruel devices. If you don't believe me why don't you try putting one on your neck and having it snap you. Its very inhumane.
Reply:Invisible Fence, installed professionally works VERY well!!! The "do-it-yourself" versions are iffy. Depending on where you live, there may be other companies that also do professional installations. If your dog is slipping out of collars, the collars you're using aren't fit properly. Basic adult dog obedience classes will help too.
Reply:If your fence is 6 ft or more in height, use a barbed wire that is angled in to your yard so when he tries to jump he cannot get up over.If you have seen a prison yard you should know to what design I am refering, otherwise find a picture on the internet so you can see what I am talking about.
Reply:Not im my experience. It sounds like you have a very determined dog. I have used one of those buried fence things witht the shock coller and I'm sure it hurt but the dog kept going anyway. My lab learned that if he just kept running he would get out of the recievers range and the collar would stop working. Try some obedience training. It will take tons of time and patience, but it will pay off.
Reply:yes they do because the collars keep the dogs in the yard by giving them a quick jolt of pain and then after a while the dog will realize that crossing the boundaries will result in pain
Reply:that is horrible!!why would any one do that?im sure it works but it is so mean!!!


In which Simpson's episode does Flanders wear a halloween costume with a head that falls off?

I think it's from one of the earlier Treehouse of Horror episodes.





There's a knock on the Simpson's door, they answer it, the head falls off (can't remember why) and then Ned's head pops up through the collar to show that it was a costume.





I ask because I was given an animation cell of this scene, but couldn't place the exact episode from memory.

How Do you take legal action against someone that's harassing you?

For months this 22 year old punk a$$ female has been harassing me and my family. Shes threatened me. Threatened my family. Tried to start a fight with me while i was holding my lil sister in my arms she has left threatening messages in front of my house she has stole balls popped pools stole my dogs collar, just about ne crazy ridiculous thing you can think of shes done. And now the worst she has smashed in the front of my car. How could i get this to stop? What legal action can be made?

How Do you take legal action against someone that's harassing you?
First, get a pocket tape recorder. Get her recorded saying threatning things to you. If you can get any other evidence that is even better. Make copies of your evidence and keep it locked up. Take a copy to your local police station and file a report. If the cops don't do anything, then go to the Sheriff's office and file a report, then go to the D.A. DONT LET THIS WOMAN RUN YOU OUT. DON'T LET HER WIN.A restaing order will not do you much good with the law enforcement. All they will do is talk to her and tell her not to do it again. This is from experience.

Reply:Call the police and file a complaint against her. They will advise you from there.

Reply:Geez... Call the cops and then move out. You'll have a struggle with that woman until you can prove everything she does to you!
Reply:...and you're going to need to have proof that she did it, photos, messages (threatening), etc.





Good luck...but you might think about it and really feel sorry for her. She must be really miserable to act out like that, and she evidently feels that making you feel worse will make her feel better.





For physical damage, yes I would pursue action, otherwise just feel sorry for her, really. And don't engage her when she wants to fight and argue...be the better person. It may not feel great walking away, but if things go from bad to worse and it escalates, you may regret it later...
Reply:1. Make police report for each and every incident.


2. Ask police / DA for a restraining order to keep this woman away from you and your family, your home, work place etc. Know full well that it probably will not be enforced, but in later police reports also include that this is also in violation of the restraining order.


3. If you get the restraining order, phone the police every time you catch her in violation %26amp; sometimes they will come out and arrest her.


4. Tell your insurance company the identity of the person who did the damage. Your insurance company will try to find what her insurance company is %26amp; go after them for the cost of repair, which will raise her insurance rates ... this is home/renter insurance or auto insurance or whatever was attacked or damaged.


5. Contact private lawyer or legal aid ... see about a civil law suit against the woman.





You need to gather evidence that this is happening, otherwise it is just your word against hers.





Get cameras, have with you in car, home, work, person.


Every time you see her, photograph.


Ideally you want also to get where was this, what time was this.


Some cameras come with digital info that is helpful.





If not, mix on roll of film a street sign, or something that shwos geography, or you could have a note pad with info written on it ... date time location %26amp; nature of incident ... so you have roll of film where photos alternate, here she is doing something, and here in your diary is when it happened





Remember that it is not illegal to take people photos without their permission, but there are legal limits to how those photos may be used, without permission of person in the photo ... make sure you do not violate those rules.
