Every time i try to get it to drink some water i put in a bowl, it shrieks and tries to bite me. Any other tips will help alot (How to feed it, how to get it to stop biting my aunt, what food to give it)

she's always quivvering(a shaking motion) with her lips. we hav had her for five years, she's a retired racer and is now seven. we treat her like a queen and she loves everyone, but always does that nervous quivvering. i dont know if its because she was treated badly at the track before we got her.

I already have a one year old Irish Setter ***** who i love to bits.

Myself and my husband are now seriously considering getting another so that Lucy can have a 'play-mate'.

Do you think that this is right?

We do not have children and live in a three bedroomed house with a large garden so I would consider that we have enough room.

Is it ideal to have a 'play-mate' who will also be loved just as much as Lucy is or should we just leave her as she is?

Serious question so serious answers only please.

I have this cat that I got about a year ago and at first when she would bite and scratch me I just thought that she wasn't used to me and that she would grow out of it but she still bites and scratches me everyday and makes me bleed quite a bit. I love her very much and I don't want to get rid of her so I need some advice on how to get her to stop bitting and scratching me.

What should I us to make my dog practice on when to hurt someone. Like the materials they use with cops and their dogs. I want my dog to practice on something to use just incase a conclusion with someone we never seen or trying to hurt me, that way my dog will attack. The dog is a rottweiler. And she is very good, and respectful, and friendly, but too friendly. I just want to know what to use for practice to train her to be for assertive?

I have had a cat for a about 1 month. I haven't heard him meow at all. not once, never made a peep. Is this normal. He is very affectionate on his own terms and extremely playful and pulls at my legs when he wants attention but never says a word. Maybe he doesn't know how? How do you know if the kitty is happy?

My Daughter gave us a MALE Cat some 4 years ago. Today my wife took it for its annual booster jab and was told that the cat is in fact FEMALE. The cat is BIG and called Harvey after the Marine on Celebrity Fit Club. Can any one think of a new name for Harvey now that we know it’s a girl?

I own 4 cats. One of them , (female 6yrs) will not stay off my kitchen worktops, no matter what I do, so I'm forever picking out cat fur, when using pans etc.Don't want to get rid of cat, as she's part of the family. But as you can well understand, it's not very hygienic. I quite often put her down, the turn round, and the minx is back up there. Sometimes she sleeps there, other times just sits. This is a real problem, so please help...x

Many people say that a dog will protect it's master just by pure instinct. Well, if this is true, why is it that my dog (husky/chow/pit mix) just stood there doing nothing when my friend was getting her @$$ beat? We were walking my 2 dogs, minding our own business. She was walking my husky mix and I was walking a black lab I had recently adopted from my friend's family.... Neither one of the dogs was even slightly interested in protecting anyone. What had happened was a biotch from my friend's school came and messed with us. She pulled my friend to the ground by her hair and hit her in the face repeatedly.... My friend had let go of my husky mix and he just stood there and looked around. The lab was pulling a bit on the lead, but only from all the excitement. She wasn't about to attack anyone... I mean, it /was/ my friend, and not me being attacked, but still... And le tme just say that this dog knows I'm the alpha and I've brought him up very well. So, what happened? .....

My little dog likes to lick my big dogs ears and my mom says that a dog can die, if the little dog has bacteria on his tongue and licks the big dogs ears by pushing bacteria into the brain. Has anyone ever heard this to be true?

My dog has a heart murmmer and I want to get him nuetered. I want to know if anyone has had a pet with a heart murmmer and still went under Anestiesa (got their animal knocked out and got spay or nuetered.)

I am scared to put him under Anestiesa because I don't want him to die while he is under Anestiesa, because he has a heart murmmer. So he is one and a half years old and I haven't got him nuetered. He is a mini dachshund.

Can some serious people let me know if they still put their animal under Anestiesa if their pet had a heart murmmer and came out ok. Please Help.!!!

I rent a house near a car wash. For a few years off and on I have seen the owner (my landloard) shoot pigeons to keep them off the roof. This horrifies me but, my hubby said not to say anything because we will get kicked out of our house. Now, the new car wash manager has given up shooting the pigeons and put a cage up there with food in it. I thought, "oh good. He's going to catch them and let them go somewhere else". Nooooo! As I quietly sat on my back porch watching the sunset last night, the manager climbs up on the roof to get a pigeon in the cage, looks at me and twists it's neck to death. First when he was grabbing the bird it SCREAMED horribly and then the sound of those crunching neck bones just "did me in". The man looked at me like I should think "how cool he was" and plunked it down in the trash can below. I could not take it anymore and yelled some pretty harsh words at him and told him never to speak or look at me again and he was a wierdo. How do I defend me?

She gathers toys and treats them like puppies.She also is making "nest". We picked up the toys because our other boxer thinks she is wanting to play which causes a fight! Now she has moved on to our shoes. Any suggestions
