I want to get a chihuahua in the next year, but my family already has two cats (between 2-4 years old and male). Does it make a difference if the dog is male/female? It's more of a question of whether the cats will pick on the dog...

Prayers? Flushing down the plughole? Burial in backyard? Or simply in the trashcan? Or snack for pet cat/dog? Or snack for you on a whole-wheat cracker?

I have 2 litter boxes in my spare room that we use as an office. We clean them often, but it always smells like urine in there. I know it's bad to have fragrant things close to litter boxes, but I NEED to do something about the smell. Any suggestions? I don't want to use anything too strong so that the cats quit using their boxes.

The pup was very sick but we got him to the Vet in time and he came home today. The other 2 dogs are fine. All the dogs have had their shots but I guess the pup's might not have taken. We cleaned up the yard, bleached as much as possible, threw out his bed, etc. Do we need to try to keep the dogs apart? What about drinking from the same water bowl? The dogs always drank from the same bowl before the illness and the older 2 are still fine.
I guess I feel that the aldult dogs were already exposed and must have been immune or they would have already caught parvo. Also is the pup in danger or reinfecting himself if we didn't get one area (carpet) bleached? Or if we possibly have the germs on our shoes, our fence, or whatever?

When I throw the ball my golden retriever tries to catch it with his paws, he’s succeeded a few times. A lot of people think it’s cute, but that creeps me out. Once I caught him trying to walk up right, at least I think that’s what he was doing. His two front paws were on the wall balancing him, and he was using his hind legs to walk, sideways! When I scold him, he lies on the floor belly up and kicks me repeatedly with his hind legs!

I know I am not supposed to punish a dog this way but its just that he was making so much progress and I was angry when I saw he urinated on our tile floor and I did rub his nose rather roughly and flung him outside. My wife has already scolded me about being rough with him so please dont add to my guilt. The problem is I have been as nice to him as I possibly can since the incident and lavish him with treats but if I bend down to pick him up even ever so slowly he piddles and turns over onto his back displaying his stomach which I beleive means he is showing he knows I am dominant.

If I walked around naked all day, didn't take daily baths, shed my hair like crazy and didn't wipe myself after using the toilet, would you want me sitting on the same sofa where you lay your face to watch t.v.?

When me and my husband are together our 4 moth old chihuahua seems fine with both us. As soon as I leave she kinda freaks out and whines. After she calms down a little she wants to be left alone from my husband. She kinda seems agressive also. She was sitting on the floor and my husband went to reach for something and that was near her, she starting attacking his hand. But after I came back she was fine with the both of us. Does anyone know what could be causing this???
