Pets - 15 August 2006

I have 2 dogs, one is 13 years old and one is 1 1/2 years old. We are moving to a new house which is beautiful and I want them to go outside. Here they pretty much go inside and I keep cleaning it up! How can I train them to go outside when they are older dogs? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

on june 14 my cat came in from a week of being outside and in heat. Today is aug 14 and i can feel the kittens in her but nothing else has changed. Like her nipples have gotten bigger cuz she is long haired and her tummy just a tad bigger. But she still eats good and is friendly, she doesnt seem to be looking for a place to have them. Is it time for her to have them what is happening? Does she decide when to have them, like if i am not home will she have them anyway?

I've never owned a dog, but I've always heard references on TV that dogs like to hump women's legs. Is this true? If so, why?

When I came home he was bleeding and having difficulty breathing. Very sick! I live in New South Wales, Australia, and I have been checking on the internet and find there is a Brown Dog Tick that causes some symptoms that are the same, he is in a yard and been supervised at all times, he has been in areas that is frequented by other dogs but supervised at all times. How could he have contacted this. If so I don't know how he has contacted this.

She is a really good girl. She's a five year old tabby and she has been fixed, since being a kitten. Problem is, she's huge! She weighs like 16lbs. How can I get her to slim down without risking health problems, like malnutrition stuff like that?
Overall, she is a healthy girl just big.

sometimes i leave my dog outside (when it sin't too hot)
but when ever i go get him he will be all hyper and unconrtollabel.
he will jump on me and act like i have never trained him.
also if i try to control him by using cesar millans tequnique ("biting with hand") he will bite me with his mouth!! he never has made me bleed but i'm afraid one day he will. what is the correct thing to do when ever i go outside to him and he is tied up?
also what should i do when he steps on me? i think he sometiimes steps on me just to show he is more dominant then me and i understand that but how do i correct him?

here is some info on him:
•labrador
•7 months
•male
•un-nueterd
•nice around everyone

thx for reading!

along w/getting my cat spayed, she's also gotta have an abortion. it's not something i want to do, but it has to be done, as i can't afford the babies. when i went to my vet's office to inquire about getting her spayed, they at first told me that noone in the state would do a spay/abortion procedure, and then, when i told them that i had found a reputible vet in another city that would, and that i needed my cat's vacinations record, the look i got from the receptionist was one of disgust and abhorance that i was getting it done. the vet is a fundamentalist christian, and he knows his animals, but should i say anything to him about having been lied to about the procedure, and what should i say to his receptionist? also, why would she be looking at me like that in the first place, if they do spay/neuters for the humane society?

I mean, In Europe I met like 30 families with pets and none of them had a cat, all of them had dogs.

In Mexico most of people have dogs, and just a few have a cat.

I read a few years ago that Cats became like the favourite american pet, dogs came in 2nd place...

Personally, Im more of a dog person( Jack Russell Terrier is the best!) , I like to see that the dog becomes happy when I get home, Its more playful, loving, loyal, and intelligent than cats....I think.
