Yesterday I decided to hurry up and mow the lawn so it would be done for the holiday weekend. I had my little rat terrier, Pearl (aka Moo) tied out. I was mowing near her, and she moved and her tie out got caught, and it broke her neck instantly. I scooped her up, felt for signs of life, then tried to blow air into her nose-she was already gone. I feel SO terrible that my stupid mistake cost her her life. I miss her so much already-I would let her in the am, and she would race up the stairs, and wait for me...then I would get a blanket and she would crawl under and cuddle with me. I can't stop blaming myself!!!
We buried her with her favorite pillow and her "raggy bone", and my girls put their things with her too-(they would use hair scrunchies for fancy collars for her) They have been telling me its not my fault, and they seem to be taking it better than I am, and they are only 10.
Maybe I just neede to tell someone how horrible I feel-I know that that 10 seconds can never change.

We are fostering a Pomeranian who is 12-15 years old. We have only had her for about a week and can't find a food to make her happy. She is on antibiotics for urinary tract infection and kennel cough, as well as arthritis medication.

We have discovered she likes pasta, spinach pizza, and turkey. (we are vegetarian and don't eat fowl, fish or meat). The only reason we gave her these things was to find out if the issue was her appetite or the senior canned food and kibble (high quality) that she was given by The Humane Society.

We tried to catch the cats,but i don't want to capture her if she's pregnant because she might go into early labor or something. I also don't want the chance of some kittens dying. What do I do?!? My neighbor...who is a retired verternarian...said that we should stop feeding the cats because they'll just stick around and breed. I don't want to take them to the shelter because if they're acting mean or don't get adopted they'll pet them down. They are very social around me,but anyone else in the family the are skiddish around. HELP!!!

I live in Northern KY,(Boone Co), and saw an average of 1 turtle every two weeks. It is now Sept., and I haven't seen a turtle for at least a month.

Lately he's been either hanging up top of the tank of behind his plant (which he never used to do) and when he does eat he tends to spit certain pieces back out. The other day he puffed his face out at me which...maybe he's just pissed at me and thats why he did it. He used to be so energetic and now its as if he's depressed...also today he...threw up? He ate really fast then all of a sudden this pinkish long semi thick string came out of his mouth and he let it hang there for a few before spitting it out (or letting it fall out)...and whilst this was happening he wasnt moving...

what is wrong with my Stivy Betta Fish???

This is the third time I have asked questions about this because, no matter what I say some of you do not realise that we have tried to train this dog, my boyf previously had a rottwieler, who was trained perfectly. We are consistent. It is the pure frustration of Scamps personality which makes me dislike him. I cannot have people visit me at home any more because he just jumps at them and nothing we do makes him stop, many people other than me find this offensive. Why do so many of you answer these questions without properly reading them and with judgemental attitudes. It is awfully offensive to someone who is merely trying to do what is right. Not once did I suggest that I would just throw the dog away or anything of the sort, so get off your high horses before life ends up knocking you off!

i have a very old cat at my mom's house...she's about 17 years old, give or take some...she front declawed, very over weight and lazy...no signs of sickness, but very mean towards anyone except my parents, and sometimes me if im luck. I myself had just gotten a new kitten to live at my apartment. My mom is now very jealous and wants a kitten, she loves kittens and also feels that it might bring back some life into my old cat. She's also worried that the old cat (patch is her name by the way) will try to hurt the new one and she doesnt want anything like that to happen. Do you think it's safe to bring a new one into the house?? I know they might hate eachother for awhile, but they can adjust...what do you suggest?

My cats are all spayed and nueterued but one or all of them are not only useing the litter box, they are peeing on the carpet and walls in my daughters bedroom. What do I do ? This morning I went in her room when she left for school and powered her whole carpet with baking powder. What can I do to get this out of her room ? I cant put new carpet down, for one it is not our house, we rent and for two, it will not fix the urine problem, they would go on new carpet too probally. What do I do ? FAST! HELP!

Try your dog tied up by one leg in your greenhouse & see how long it takes before it passes out. Mine lasted 1hr 33mins at 100 degrees, I will be setting a record in future days to come. I am open to challengers.

Future of Breeding
Snuppy, the first cloned dog, shows that it is possible to produce a dog that is the genetic twin of another dog, although it is still difficult and expensive to do so. It is possible that, in the future, it might be possible, and some people might choose, to create a twin of their favorite pet or of an admired champion dog rather than to adopt a dog or to wait for the outcome of a mating between two preferred parents. If taken to an extreme, this would mean that people would be able to review photos of breed champions, read their descriptions, and choose one to duplicate, which would be cloned on demand. Although the two dogs would have identical genes, they would not necessarily have identical markings. In breeds in which markings vary by individual, Spot the Second might have spots in places that Spot at the First did not, and vice versa.

She was a breeders dog previously, I was told by the breeder that She had been bred to another pom larger than she & that the pups were taken by C-section that was why they decided to get rid of her.....They had over 20 poms. She is a fox-faced pom. I brought her home to be a pet only..She is in heat & my friend wants to breed her, she also breeds, her dogs are not as well bred as she is...Is it safe to let her have one more litter? I have had her for 2 years & I don`t want her to come to any harm.
