Questions

What Breed Is My Dog? - black and tan dog with large upright ears

What Breed Is My Dog?What does our puppy Beth look like she is mixed? We are unsure because she was given to us and we are even still unaware of her real age.

Re-training a Dog to Use a Piddle PadMy puppy is 7 months old. The weather is getting cold and he is very small. I am trying to re-train him to go on the pee pee pad, but he is stubborn. I have tried dog litter and I have tried a towel with the spray at the pet store.

Discontinued Graham and Brown WallpaperI am looking to buy Graham and Brown mustard coloured paper with brown birds on twigs. It is discontinued now, but I am wondering if anybody knows where I can get 4 rolls?

Roots Did Not Take Hair DyeI applied Garnier Olia black to my roots last night and some of them did not take. They are right at the top of my head. Is it safe to reapply color to that area only or should I just walk around looking like a skunk for the next 3 weeks or so?

Information on Old Mexican Silver Bracelet

Information on Old Mexican Silver BraceletI have a lovely silver bracelet that I purchased in Mexico over 60 years ago. The workmanship is perfect. There are no markings on it. Did they make silver jewelry back then without using markings? The bracelet is tarnished.

Getting Rid of Fleas in a FlatThere's been a flea infestation for many months. We've got 3 flats. Pros have done flea bombs and spray of some type. The 2 empty flats were successful, but the one I'm living in wasn't. I'm so stressed because they're in my towels and clothes. My house is spotless, as well. I tried Staykill twice, to no avail.
