ok, I am the sit and do nothing kind of person on my bus, and I overhear this story:
There is this dog, and this kid goes up to it, breaks three of its legs, cuts the tops of it's ears off, ties it's tail to one of it's broken legs, and cuts half of the toungh off. after that, he puts its body up to it's neck into a trash bag, then leaves it in a ditch. While it's still alive. Then, th next day at school, he brags about it.

-i found this on a forum, this kid that typed it is really sad

My dog has soo much freakin personality, I'm convinced dogs are WAY smarter than cats. He knows so many commands, and I can actually let him play in the front yard alone and he won't leave the yard. Does anyone agree dogs are smarter than cats?

Two weeks ago, I found a couple of ticks on my dog. I got rid of them. I figured that was it and she hasn't been acting strange or out of the ordinary. But today, when I checked her she was completely infested with ticks...engorged and all! I almost threw up. I was able to get rid of most of them today, except maybe in the ears. I'm scared to take her to the vet. What if they have to put her down? I know this probably sounds stupid, but have you ever heard of a dog being put down for a tick infestation? I know I'll end up taking her anyway, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this experience before.

Thanks

I just have 2 guppies, male and female. They have so far eaten any fry and seem to be very happy in the 5 gallon tank. But the pond snails are taking over! I've reassembled the cleaned the tank twice, which took care of the larger snails, but now all the babies are out.

I recently looked after my brother's dog for two weeks while he was away on holiday. We get on brilliantly (me and the dog, that is) and because I have a huge field very near by, I took him out maybe 7 - 8 times per day because I love to see him so happy, plus he's a very 'outside' kind of dog. Now my brother has returned and the dog has gone back. I'm now riddled with guilt because I know that, at best, he'll only get two walks per day. I picture him pining for me and the walks, and becoming depressed because of all the built up energy that can't escape. Did I spoil him? and will he be okay with just two walks a day?

My dog urinated in bed the other morning. Totally out of character! My 5-year-old spayed Rottweiler had cruciate surgery 7 days ago. She urinated in her kennel at the vet right after waking up from anesthetic...not uncommon. She's not had an accident in the house since she was a pup & she has been recovering from the surgery remarkably well. She's very well-behaved.
My Rott never sleeps on the floor and early in the morning she went to the floor which is not typical. She was licking between her legs a lot and that's when I discovered she had urinated in the bed.
Her bathroom habits are totally normal. She urinates one time outside, & empties her bladder. Were she urinating frequently, I would suspect a bladder infection. But I really don't believe that's the case. If she had a pain response from moving the wrong way on her leg, I'm sure she would have yelped. If surgery related, why after 7 days? She looks guilty as if she's done something wrong. Why would she do that??

I have two pups.. well my bf and I fight over how to teach the dogs. He believes in rubbing their nose in to their poop and whipping them and throwing them outside.. how ever I believe in doing putting papers down and placing their poop on the paper and they start to go there?? I hate to hear them whine and cry when he smacks them.. How do we house train puppies properly? Also they don't come back when you call how do you get them to mind us?

I'm so stumped. He has big paws (at least for now) and a funny shorter ear. He has a gorgeous face. Affectionate and playful of course.
