Pets - 27 June 2006

I will be getting a female Chihuahua puppy in 2008, and was wondering what I should include on my checklist. For example, whether they're wormed, KC registered, have insurance, have had their jabs, how much the jabs cost, expenses other than the actual price of the dog etc.
I just want to make sure I have the finances and health of the dog all sorted or ready to sort when I get her.

My sister has a cat that is really overweight and she is insisting that obese is not the same thing as fat. But as I recall, obese is the P.C. term for fat. am I correct?

My dog is an Aussie Shepherd/Black Lab mix with pretty long hair. I've given her 2 haircuts so far with scissors. But that's really tedious and annoying for both of us. I want to just buzz it all off with clippers (just for the summer). I know dogs need their coat to stay warm, but our AC isn't always on and she's all black. I think it would make her a little more comfortable and she would shed less often. But we tried 2 different types of hair clippers (trimmers) and both failed. They were either too cheap or her hair was too thin or too thick. But either way, they wouldn't cut the hair, they'd just go right through it without cutting except for a few hairs here and there. I just wondered if there was a good brand of hair clippers out there that you've used and know that it works. I don't want to spend $50 on a set designed for pets if there are ones that work just as good for less. Also, I don't want it to cut down to the skin, just like 2" long. Please don't suggest a salon, thanks!

Take one Chihuahua. Take a St. Bernard. Both are members of same genus, therefore, genetically speaking, may mate with each other resulting with offsprings.

Through articificial insemination we can overcome the size barrier. Male Chihuahua meets female St. Bernard seems to be easy.

However, what happens when you impregnate the Chihuahua with St. Bernard? Is there any record of such (not the specific example) mating?

If so, what happened? Would that harm Chihuahua or would nature "find a way" to host the offsprings? Also in the St. Bernard as the mother scenario, what would happen during nursing if and when the offsprings tend to be too small?

Yes, I am curious of such things, no, I do not apologize.
