Pets - 23 July 2006

my family and i have had our dog for about 3yrs now and he is the best dog but our stepdad(who we been livin with for bout a year) wants a collie. NOW dont get me wrong i would love another dog and so would our dog but heres the thing our old dog has to stay outside because our stepdad says he doesnt like the all the fur around the house but he wants the new collie to be an inside dog. he is spoiling the new dog like crazy. now i love'em both but our old dog is like my brother and i can tell his feelings are hurt.i told my stepdad if we can let our older dog in too but he said no. its weird cause our older dog is the size of a baby golden retriever and the collie is gonna be 5 times as big!

what should i do

I am staying at my Aunt's house while she is in Hawaii for 10 days. How much money should I ask for payment? I've done this a few times for her in the past but it was only for like a weekend and she would give me like $60 or something - but this time around - I'm pretty much living here for all 10 days, I have to feed & water the 4 dogs and 3 cats, water all the plants in the front yard and the backyard - morning and night since its been so damn hot - over the 100's all week - blah. And feed the Koi fish - which ended up dying from the heat - and I feel horrible about it and they say its not my fault since the heat most likely was too much and pulled all the oxegen out of the water...but I still feel like I "failed" in the fish watching part of the job. But yeah, she already fronted me $100 before they left, and said they'll pay up when they return. Most services like this are at least $40 a day right? should I be expecting at least $300?

I have 2 birds living with me and they are soo cute but sometimes they tend to sleep with their head backwards? It was so odd when I saw that, funny too. But why?

I'm always making up stupid baby-talk names that make absolutely no sense and I do it like I'm talking to a baby - "You're just a widdle biddle mooshoo boo boo poo poo moo. Yes, you are. Yeeees, you are." Or sometimes I'll say something like, "You want some fwesh waa-waa (water) Itsy Bitsy ShooKoo Poo-Face?"

What nonsensical baby-talk things do you say to your cat?

I have never seen a Sparrow walking. Are they physically unable to walk or is it that they just choose not to because its easier to hop?

I dont leave water out all the time, and he can go 6-7 hours without going in his kennel, but he cant go 20 minutes without peeing in the house. I keep him gated in the kitchen because of that, and I feel bad cause he doesnt have a lot of room to run. He goes every time we go outside, and he wont #2 in the house, but he cant stop peeing. We go out about every hour and a half. He doesnt have any other dogs to learn from. I've seen many answers for this kinda thing on here, but I've tried them or they dont apply to him. I need a new idea.
And, are shock collars mean? (he barks a lot too and I dont want to get evicted)
He's a pit bull/pyrenese mix

My son's corn snakes laid eggs and now we have 12 of the prettiest little baby snakes I have ever seen! I think they are adoreable and they seem to have their Mamma's quiet temperment. They are the most beautiful rose colored little things and a few are white snowballs. Does anybody know a reputable way I can sell these precoius little creatures so they would get good homes? Do you know any good sites on internet that are reputable? Thank you.

He just moved back home so he hasn't spent much time around her. Also, she has month old kittens.

Everytime he walks into a room she growls and hisses at him. She's also left some nasty cuts on his legs. Even if she hears his voice, she prepares herself for an attack.

If my brother and my cat do not start getting along, one of them's going to have to go and I don't think it's going to be my brother.

We have 3 indoor adult cats that have no problems using the litter box as they are supposed to. The problem is that one of the adult females recently had a litter of 3 kittens that are now about 10 weeks old, and 1 of them refuses to use the box. We have 2 boxes that are cleaned daily,and none of the others have a problem using the box (es) even when they aren't emptied. What can we do? This one kitten is destroying our furniture, and it's getting to the point where I may have to get rid of it!

grossly overweight? This dog (German Shepherd) is so fat he can not walk down the porch steps without family members helping him.

In this country there are over 5 million, it's one of the most populer breeds and as been for over 100 years, with only 556 deaths in the past 15 years due to dog attacks and those being caused by 56 breeds why do people think that there is danderous pit bulls around every conner. This should prove that most pits are owned by people who take the time to train and keep thier pet pits the right way. If they were as bad as what the news and others make them to be then there would be a death by them everyday and a whole lot more attacks. Over 5 million, you have better odds of getting killed by lighting or attacked by a shark than by a pit bull. I las Vegas there as been no deaths caused by pits for over 20 years and only 5 bad attacks. We have a huge dog fighting problem in N. Las Vegas would you not think our numbers would be higher. These numbers include las vegas, N Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Nellis air forice base, Puramp, and Mopa
