I do intent to keep him out side but the problem I am having is that even if I provide it with my garage and back yard it still could get very warm for him. Also during winter sometimes it gets pretty cold. So putting him out might not always be possible .you know I have a responsibility on him and I need to provide him that’s my dilemma which I am suffering from
you had 46 fishes die on you wow sister -what did you do over feed them and bust their little bellys out. lol
ASA,
Although this may sound a little funny, it's intended to be serious - the only time I would ever buy a dog is if I was blind - to help guide me when I'm walking.
P.S. Has anyone seen a Quran in Braille (for blind people to read)?
Salaam,
I did not personally overfeed the fish. I like to eat fish not kill fish. I have children. We had a phase. We had goldfish...one fish two fish goldfish. We had to have many goldfish as goldfish die overnight. I do not know why. My sons were young. We had to have george. why george...because george was the name of the man on the videos about tractors and bulldozers...we saw george about ten times a day..we got goldfish ...it was time to come up with a name..george.. my sons did not know how many goldfish died. mommy would run to the pet store or wallmart in the middle of the night so the boys would not spaz in the morning...we only had a few funerals for a couple of the georges ( you flush them down the toilet)...i got tired of fish;
I like roses...they don't stink, tear up furniture, or die!!! and you don't have to name them...they are roses.
ammoung fishes i think gold fishes are the quickest to die when you get home but if you can keep them alive for about 3 days you they can live for months. use ozarka spring water , put some kinda pebbles towards to bottom so all the dirt can settle down ,change water about every10 days or so i used to change about 3/2 th of water and them change 1/4 agan. feed them gold fish flakes only . mine survived for about 6 monthes tehn desided to commit suicide .. (jumped out )Salaam,

According to Islaamic Sharee’ah, it is not permitted to keep a dog except within narrowly-defined limits, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained:
"Whoever keeps a dog, his good deeds will decrease every day by one qeeraat (a unit of measurement), unless it is a dog for farming or herding." According to another report: ". . . unless it is a dog for herding sheep, farming or hunting." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2322)
Dogs are extremely naajis (impure, unclean). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"If a dog drinks from the vessel of any one of you, let him wash it seven times" (reported by Muslim, no. 279). According to another report: ". . . and clean it the eighth time with earth." (Saheeh Muslim, no. 280).
It is forbidden in Islaam to sell a dog and to receive payment for it, as is reported in Saheeh al-Bukhaari from Abu Mas’oud al-Ansaari: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade (accepting) the price of a dog. (al-Fath, no. 2237)
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us not to resemble dogs by placing our forearms on the ground during sujood (prostration), as in reported in the hadeeth narrated by Anas ibn Maalik, according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Do sujood properly; none of you should spread his forearms like a dog does." (al-Bukhaari, Fath, no. 822).
Whoever keeps a dog in his house is denied the blessing of the angels’ presence in his house, as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 3225).
Keeping dogs nowadays is the habit of the kuffaar, who adopt them as friends, kiss them, let them lick them and their clothes, sleep with them and even leave them money in their wills. Keeping a dog is an imitation of the kuffaar. Some Muslims may claim that they need to keep a dog at home for purposes of protection, to which we respond that nowadays there are burglar alarm systems and other measures one may take for security purposes, and there is no need to keep a dog, praise be to Allaah.
It only remains for us to say that the fact that it is forbidden to keep a dog and interect closely with it does not mean that we should not be kind or feel compassion towards dogs if we see them in a pitiful state. These are two entirely separate matters. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that
"a man saw a dog biting the dust because of thirst, so he took his shoe and started to scoop water up with it until the dog’s thirst was quenched. Allaah appreciated his good deed and granted him entry to Paradise for it." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, no. 174).
According to another report, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whilst a man was walking he became very thirsty, so he went down to a well and drank from it. When he came out, he saw a dog panting and biting the soil because of thirst. The man said, ‘He is suffering the same as I suffered,’ so he filled his shoe (with water), came out and let the dog drink until his thirst was quenched. Allaah appreciated his good deed and forgave him because of it." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allaah, will we be rewarded for how we treat animals?" He said, "In every living thing there is a reward." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fath, no. 2363).
And Allaah knows best.
