I was wondering whether a cat would be happy in an apartment. I guess the answer is yes. Therefore, I shall rescue a kitten from a shelter this weekend and I won't get it declawed. I can't wait. Thanks for all your help!

our dog is just 7 months old. we have a big garden in whick he spends most of the day in as we are at work. we have flowers both sides of the fences but he onlydigs a certain perimetre in the right hand side where he dug out all my flower bulbs and destroied all other flowers. I also had strawberries and he had chewed the stalkswhith nearly ready to eat strawberries. if this is normal behaviour for a bored dog, how can we train him not to do it anymore?

My neighbor's small yappy dog keeps crapping in our yard and digging up our garden. So, I did what any decent hard-working American would do. That weekend 13 friends and I captured the little runt and put him in a small garbage can. For the next 8 hours of the party we took turns crapping on the dog. When the party got REALLY wild, a couple of us blew chunks in the can and filtered about 38 beers in as well if you know what I mean;). In the morning we humanely released the dog and fed it a potato and beef burrito from taco bell to make up for any wrongdoing. The problem is, the dog STILL does it! We did it even MORE the next time and didn't give it a burrito. We are afraid if it keeps coming over, what should we do?

I love to walk and love dogs so I want to start up a dog walking business. How much would you pay, per hour, to have your dog walked.

I just bought a lg jack dempsey and a lg Red Devil for my 120 gallon tank... I figured that he would be harrased by my lg Oscar for territory but I didnt figure on the JACK DEMPSEY killing my Oscar who was bigger.... Now he is attacking the Red Devil! I bought the 2 new fish outta the same tank of the aquarium store... why is he suddenly a murdering bastard? Do you think the Aquarium store will take him back? Or can I provide something to help the other fish stay safe?

My cousin's cat just had kittens and I was considering adopting one to keep my cat company when I'm not home. Is it likely that they will get along? My cat is 4 yrs old and a male so should I get a female kitten? I know some animals feel threatened by other animals of the same sex. I didn't know if that includes cats/kittens. (he's also fixed)

I got an aquarium set for a gift and it came with a filter, but i dont think it works all that well because my tank gets dirty really quick . So i want to upgrade to a better filter but i dont know what that would be, another problem that is driving me crazy is that about 2-3 in. of water evaporates every week and it gets really loud. Please HELP!

Okay, I've heard so many different things on the energy level of a Boston Terrier. I've been told they're great for apartment living because of their low-energy, and then I've heard that they demand lots of attention because of their high energy. So which is it?

There's a bunch of people who claim there is nothing after death for their dogs and cats and I always laugh a little inside whenever I hear it. Humans are no different from a dog, a cat, a bug or a fish.

We're simply smart animals, that's all. There is no special afterlife for us, there is no way to prove we dont belong to the animal family, and I'm just wondering who else agree's with me.

It'd be for 2 days (I kinda just asked this, but I wanted to verify that it would be in the car, and we would keep it very warm for him). He would be close to me the whole ride. He would be warm enough, but is it safe for him?

The eye is a little weepy. How do I clean it without hurting the eye.
It is on the corner not on the eyeball itself.
