Pets - 10 August 2006

I live in a small midwest town.My dog & I got out of my car at the city park. Leash was in my hand & dog was beside me. Animal control officer drove up and stated that my dog must be on a leash within city limits. I told him she wasn't running at large, she was walking beside me. He stated not running at large means she must be on a leash. I stated that I believed running at large means 'unsupervised'. Two days later I received a warning letter from city hall including the following definition of 'at large': " 'At large' means off the premises of the owner and not under the control of a competent person, restrained within a motor vehicle, or housed in a veterinary hospital or kennel". City Clerk stated that animal control officer could have issued a citatation requiring me to appear before a judge. I don't believe that I was in violation of the city ordinance.

We run every day with her, but the other day took her to the tennis courts with us for the first time. I think because she ran on the cement (it wasn't hot, it was 11pm) it's making the pads on her back feet peel off. What can I do to make it not hurt while the new ones are coming in? I've used a wet washcloth and sprayed some bactine on them, but does anybody else have any creative ideas?

Just so that you know, Nanook on The Lost Boys was a husky. Look up Wikipedia.com and search for the name Nanook. Read the last listing.

A woman I know is pregnant and I said I would adopt her cat. He still has claws and I don't want to declaw him. She started keeping him indoors since last year, but he used to be and outdoor cat. My place is small and I don't have outdoor access. He has a lot of cat toys, but I don't want him to be bored and maybe get into my paints and poison himself. I can't lock him out of my art studio because there's only that and the bedroom, and I don't want fur all over my clothes either. I want a pet but I wonder if this is the right one for my situation, and what I should say to the owner if I decide no, so she will stop twisting my arm and find someone else...?

I just cant figure it ou.. Why do people act like a dog is a person??? They act like they should just know what manners are and that they do not need a leader....In the wild there is one and only one PACK Leader... why do people not think about these things and just pamper there dog..... People do not treat there kids as good as they do their dog... they would expect a quick reaction from a kid if they told them to do somthing why not the dog???

I have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit who likes to chew the carpet. There are several spots she has chewed up. I have tried sprays, clapping my hands and saying No, but nothing seems to stop her. Does anyone have any ideas? She has plenty of acceptable chew toys, paper, etc., but isn't interested.

The dogs don't dig now, but they do climb. They are currently out (occasionally) on leads, but I know they'd enjoy the freedom of being able to run around. What would be the best type of fence for them?

Does it work? Do you use anything similar? Does it make sense to train a dog to "go" on it rather than outdoors as a start and then transition them to "go" outdoors?
