Skye jumps up at everyone who walks in the door and being the big girl she is knocks most people flying, she is not doing this in a nasty way she is just very playful. Also when skye gets excited she gets nipy and it HURTS but again it is all playful. Any ideas and has anyone else experienced this. Otherwise she is a lovely big pup and we love her to bits.

I was looking into getting a pet snake, but now I'm not sure since I found out what the lifespan of a pet snake is. I was reading ball pythons can live as long as 40 years in captivity, average being about 20 to 30 years.

my dog is suffering from this and going through weekly sedation in order to clean the ear canal plus heavy antibiotics. Her ear drums have both burst and we don't know how far the bacteria may have spread. Her quality of life is good. She is a happy playful 7 year old corgi/beagle. If weekly treatments don't kill this we have to look at surgery and other options. Anyone have advice or been through this? Help!

and i know that they will want to pet my dog (chico). now i know that my dog would NEVER hurt a kid, but i still want to teach them a few dog safety tips. what are some suggestions? i know 1) you should never pet a dog unless it is with it's owner and 2) you should ask the owners permission first and 3) get down to the dogs level and hold your hand out in a fist and let him sniff it (but does it matter what way you hold your fist out: wrist up or down?). any more ideas?
my dog is a chihuahua, so he his small and gets intimidated by big towering people, but he genuinally loves kids. :-)

When I'm leading my horse from the field to the stable he frequently puts his head on my shoulder, or blows in my ear. Does anyone know what this means? Is it a sign of affection, is he trying to eat me?

Has anyone had experiences with rescue cats that have behavioral problems? I'm looking to adopt a 2 year old female from a rescue center I volunteer at. Beautiful and confident looking girl, you walk up to her pod and she's all purrs and looks like she's wanting attention, you go to stroke her and she will hiss and lash out. She loves playing and chasing things but half way through a game she seems to panic and run and hide. Its like she's let her guard down and allowed herself to have fun and then this panics her. We don’t know her past perhaps she was treated badly. Has anyone had any experiences like this? Has your cat been able to overcome them?

I am trying to convince my dad to let us(the family)get a yellow labrador, but he is obsessed with the fact that dogs smell and says no. We had a smelly dog before, but the vet said it was cause by an allergy and she was really old. Do all dogs really smell? I have seen deoderizer wipes and sprays for sale, do they work? Is there a better way to make sure a dog doesn't smell? Do not suggest to make it an outdoor dog.

We recently found (as in had someone drive up to our house and beg that we take) a kitten, who's probably about 6 weeks, by now. We've been feeding him every few hours - put out the milk (kitten formula) first, and when he's done with that he moves on to the dry kitten food and the water. He's recently all but quit drinking the formula. (We had tried bottle-feeding that, about a week or two ago, but he bit the nipple in half.)

Also, this kitten is more thin and gangly than usual, but his stomach's always huge and round. His stools aren't at all solid and, while he knows how to use the litterbox, he'll often go anywhere else, and I do mean anywhere. My mom diagnosed his "diarrhea and potbellied appearance" as roundworms according to an in-depth cat book I have, and she's given him the proper dose of roundworm medicine as indicated on the packaging.

So my main question is this: Is there anything that you think we're doing wrong or not at all that we should be to help this kitten?

I moved from a very small town to a city when my boxer was 7 months. She's trained and she used to walk on her leash with no problem. Ever since we got to the city, she's terrified of everything, especially vehicles and trucks that don't move. When she sees these things, she doesn't think about what she's doing and runs. I have fallen many times because of this.

To try and help her walk better, I tried a gentle leader, harness, her regular collar, and now I just bought a choker (without spikey things). This still isn't working. When we are outside, she is in a zone. She doesn't even notice me or my other dog there. So, how can I get her to notice me, listen to me, and walk when she is freaking out?
