Jason and I both want to know if eating grass is good for dogs. They seem to throw up. How could this be good for them?

We're getting a cat tomorrow. He's 9 years old and very friendly. How long do you think I should keep him indoors for before letting him outside and does anyone have any other tips about settling him in? Cheers.

I purchased "girlfriend" 2 days ago & she has yet to eat or drink. Although, she seems healthy, she has begun to chirp, she wont move off the top perch, & is not playing with her toys, nor eating, or drinking. How long does it take for her to adjust to her new enviroment? Are these behaviors normal?What can I do for her? I brought her home from a pet store where she was caged with numerous other parakeets.PLEASE help!!!!

My sister fed her dog all natural products like meat, farmer's cheese, eggs, etc. I want to try to feed her dog food, because I am afraid that she is not getting enough nutrients. What is good to buy for her? I think she is not used to dry food. Any suggestions?

I've heard all the standard names; he has darker strips around his legs and he needs a name. He is very playful and jittery. Any one got any ideas?

I've heard the term blockhead labrador retriever? What is it? Why do I care? What other kinds of heads do labradors have?

There are only two fish and they are large and hardy (a goldfish and a shebunkin), and the tank is large (29 gallon). I wanted to add two crystal turtles to the tank for decoration, but I am wondering about lead content in the crystal.

Does that mean he's trying to mate? I hope he doesn't try on me.

...the crunching woke me up. I figured it was 3 a.m., and he's eaten a million chipmunks before, so I went back to sleep.

Do you think I should have stopped him and taken what was left (yech!) away from him? Or, was I right to let him have his snack?

I have just built a backyard pond, 1,400 gallons or so. All has been normal until now. a few goldfish are really giving one of there own a rough time, chasing it alll over even forcing it to break the surface of the water frequently. All the fish are new, and all came from the same well established pond. All are goldfish.
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreactiated.

Hi, I just got two kittens and the female is very curious, friendly and adventurous. She is 10 weeks old.

She loves being cuddled and stroked, but while I do this she miaows loudly and sharply - it almost sounds like she is in pain. She purrs the whole time though. She miaows if you stop stroking her too, and it seems to be random - not based on touching a particular part of her body.

Is she just a very vocal cat who is trying to tell me she likes being stroked? It doesn't seem as if she is in pain, but it sounds like an OW miaow if you know what I mean.

She is very loving to me, and once in a while she will "allow" my boyfriend (together 1yr) to pet her. Then sometimes she will hiss and growl at him when he enters the room. She always hisses and growls at everyone else, but just 1/2 the time at him, never at me. Any suggestions??

I moved to a new townhouse a little over a year ago. She has had one accident before that. She peed the first time right after we moved in. I do not think she has been doing it since then. But about two weeks ago my husband noticed a spot in one of our rooms and realized it was pee. I have two cats so it took me a while to figure out who was doing this but lo and behold I just caught my female cat in the act..... I did get both cats at the same time and although I tried at the beginning they insisted on sharing a litter box (my second cat is a male/ both are fixed) Can someone please help I have no idea what to do and if she doesn't stop I am afraid my husband will insist on getting rid of her. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I have wondered about this for a long time, but I can't find info about it on the internet. I am hoping that someone with actual dog training experience, and not just anecdotes, will be able to weigh in, but all answers are welcome.

I am not an idiot. I know that dogs cannot tell time. But our dog does a very curious thing. My husband comes home from work between 4:30 and 5:00 most days, and every day, sometime around 4:20, our dog goes and takes one or two of her favorite toys out of her basket and places them in the place where they play together when he comes home. She then hops into her spot by the window and settles down to wait. My question is how the heck does she know the proper time?

She understands when other things are about to happen because of cues. I walk her in the evenings, but I don't follow a set schedule, so she just starts watching for me to change my shoes and grab the leash, and then she knows it's walk time. But how does she know the other stuff?
