Pets - 29 September 2006

I have a puppy who I love very much. She is a beautiful doggy named Nana and will turn 1 in February. Being a new trainer, I'd like to know how to teach a couple of things:

How to teach her to like her kennel.

How to be good while I'm away.

(not so important) How to teach her how to fetch or catch a ball or frisbee when I throw it.

PLEASE help me!

I desperately want to get a cat, but my fiance says no. We are expecting our first child in three weeks. Apart from baby i would like some company in the day time as i plan to be a stay at home mum, but fiance still says no. Do you think it is a good idea to get a cat when i will be so busy with my new baby, and if so how can i persuade him to say yes?

In my Science calssroom at my school, we have a tank of guppies. As you should know, guppies give birth to live young.
How can you tell when a guppy is pregnant?
Also, how big do guppies usually get? These ones are probably only and ince and a half long.
Thanks so much!

My uncle recently bred a litter of Austraian cattle dogs and one of the pups are deaf. We wont let her go just anywhere so does anyone know what the best option is ie where she can be rehomed with someone that she will be with for life?

I am not an idiot, so if you are a smartass, please don't respond just for the points. My dog is in heat, and receiving her boyfriend. The problem is, that her son from her last litter thinks he is the king of the mountain, and they are fighting, night and day, 24/7. She will not accept the son, but that aint stopping him from thinking he is top dog.

I am not an irresponsible, back yard breeder. She is a small dog, and usually has only 2 pups, and yes, they have homes before they are even concieved, or else she would be protected during heat.

My question is this: how long will she be receiving her boyfriend, and how much longer before the fighting stops and I can get some sleep? If I try to separate them, they just howl & howl, so the family stays together, I just want them to live in peace. The boys are getting snipped next month and mom will get fixed after babies come. That should ease my pain, don't you think?

Tuesday my 12 wk old beagle puppy was so weak he could barely raise his head. I took him to the vet and he said that Copper was infested with hookworms and roundworms. Copper pooped on the floor at the vet's office, and the vet said it had a 'parvo' smell to it. I decided to treat the worms, and wait to see if he got better. He started walking around, and even carrying his toys around, but he still won't eat. He won't eat any kind of food, but he does drink cold water. He also has diarrhea, but it's not bloody, and he vomits also. He's been passing the worms too. Today's his 4th day of being sick, and I've read online that if a puppy has parvo and lives the first 3-4 days, he'll make it. But, I'm not sure it's parvo, especially since he isn't pooping or vomiting blood of any kind. Any answer will be greatly appreceiated.

I personaly hate the saying ''Rats with wings'' I do not consider pigeons to be a pest of any type.

These birds have saved many life's during the wars and have an excellent homming skill and can travel very far just to reach there home and in races they can be used to win money for kid hospitals as I have read.

Many humane's hate these birds for no good reason..pooping alot is NOT a good reason at all.
First we take away the passenger pigeon now we get mad at these birds for living there live's..like we would want to..its stupid!

I own and help these birds and there are many amazing breeds too some that can even do back flips in mid air & dive bomb to the ground its so neat as I have seen it with my own eye's.

Why get mad at a pigeon when you can be thinking about other things in life like its just stupid and a waste of time what has a pigeon ever done to you? besides poop on your new car...nature is MORE important that luxury with out it we would be dead of course....

My friend called me from Spain, he forgot to feed his cat and will be gone for 2 weeks. He lives like 5 hours away out in the country. Will the cat be ok, or should I drive out there and feed the furball?
