I have a male cat that is almost two years old and have just bought a female kitten to add to the family. My male cat is very angry at me and keeps hitting the kitten. Is there a way to help them get along? Any advise?

Right now, temperatures are rising and it is extremely hot, please make sure your dog has enough water and shade.

What Climbing Temperatures Mean for Dogs
The “dog days” of summer pose a particularly dangerous threat to “backyard” dogs: heatstroke. Many people know about the danger of leaving dogs inside cars during the warm summer months, when temperatures can climb to well above 100°F in just a matter of minutes.

But for backyard dogs chained outside and deprived of water, shade, and ventilation, the threat of death has nothing to do with cars—even though they might be tethered to an old jalopy. Baking in the summer sun in a barren yard—day after day, week after week—takes its toll and kills many of these animals.
Beating the Heat
Beating the summer’s oppressive heat is extra tough for dogs, because they can only cool themselves by panting and by sweating through their paw pads. Heatstroke can occur quickly and can result in brain damage or a gruesome death that’s often preceded by panic and seizures.

If you know of a backyard dog in your community, why not do what you can to make his or her life a little better? The following are some simple tips for helping backyard dogs in warm weather:

Let the owners of these forgotten animals know that a dog’s needs for water and shade are especially urgent during the summer months.
Ask them to give their dogs fresh water twice a day, or offer to do so for them.
Urge them to let their dogs inside during heat waves, much like some owners do during spells of bitter-cold weather during the winter.
If your dog isn’t allowed to be a part of your family, why not change that, starting today, by keeping him or her inside with the rest of your loved ones, at least while the weather is dangerous?
Signs of Overheating and How to Respond
Watch all dogs for symptoms of heatstroke, such as restlessness, excessive thirst, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of appetite, dark tongue, rapid heartbeat, fever, vomiting, and lack of coordination. If a dog shows any of these symptoms, get him or her into the shade immediately and call animal control or the police (if the dog is not your companion) or your veterinarian (if the dog is your companion). Lower the animal’s body temperature gradually by providing water to drink; applying a cold towel or ice pack to the dog’s head, neck, and chest; or immersing the dog in lukewarm (not cold) water.

There are countless other ways that you can improve the life of an “outside” dog—these dogs truly need every friend that they can get.

My chihuaha is pregnant from our poodle.( Don't ask.) She's due next week and her belly keeps growing and growing. We're scared she'll die during delivery or maybe even her babies could die. Anyone gone through this before? Any advice?

My Dog, Angel, was diagnosed with Lymphoma and treated with Chemo over 4 years ago. (Dogs don't get sick or lose their hair as people do) Up until a few weeks ago, she was in perfect health. Recently she started gagging and having shortness of breath. These are unlike the symptoms she had before. The Veterinarian
examined her and said her lungs and chest were clear but her Tonsil was enlarged. He removed it and I am waiting for the test results to come back to see if it is Lymphoma. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar situation ...

I have only contacted this breeder via email so far. The breeder has agreed to a 2 year health guarantee and has sent pictures of the puppy. I just have some concerns about not actually meeting the dog or the seller first. I am also curious as to how payment and delivery is supposed to take place. He says that he will send me the billing details after I provide him with my address and then I can wire him the money. I emailed him back and am requesting references, the dog's pictures, and details in writing. If anyone has actually done this or if you have breeding experience, please give me your opinions.

My children left home about 8 months ago. I downsized and was unable to keep our six year old family cat, my oldest daughter and her fiancé took Tips. He has known my daughter's fiancé for 5 years, and really liked him. Since the move he is just warming up to him and will hardly come near my youngest daughter and myself. The only time he will come near me is when my oldest daughter is not home. Has anyone had this kind of experience before? It is like he is mad at me. Will he ever get over it? I see him at least 2 times a week. Can anyone help?
Thanks
