I adopted a one yr. old JRT/Beagle mix (Junior) in Feb '06. He came to us crate trained and knew a few basic commands. During his first year of life, Junior had spent a couple months with his previous owner, 4 months in a shelter, and another month in foster care before he settled into our home. Junior became the 5th addition to our family of pets and fits in wonderfully. He's an awesome little thing! The problem is that he's possesive and aggressive when he sees another dog and he can't get to it. When he has the opportunity to actually interact with other dogs though he's playful and friendly. I can't take him in public because he will cause a scene if he sees another dog. His insane barking, yelping, pulling and growling all add up to embarrassment and frustration. Not only that, his aggressive behavior is rubbing off on my other dog. He has a home where he's loved and will hopefully live a long and happy life. We won't give up on him, we just need a little help. Thanks!

When cats recognize someone they know, is it sight or smell? also same question for finding the litter box or their food/water?

We rescued a dog (pit bull) from the pound about 1 1/2 months ago. She is a great dog. 1 yr old, but for the past 2 weeks she digs holes all over the yard. What can we do? My hubby wants to get rid of her now. Our yard looks like a mine field. Help!!!!

I cannot understand why anyone would want to hurt or even kill companion animals such as cats..or engage in dogfighting, hog-dog fighting, or cockfighting..people who are deliberately cruel to animals totally disgust me. Consider what some of them turn out to be...rapists, child molesters, serial killers...What's so funny about harming an INNOCENT dog or cat?

I got this new kitten on Saturday, It is 5 months old, I adopted from one of those foster home shelters at my local Petsmart. The kitten will not quit meowing. I have a 2 year old male at home also so I have been isolating the new kitten as I was told to slowing introduce them. The kitten is in a room with food, water, literbox, radio, night light, toys, bed, blankets, scratching post. It meows 24/7, all night long while I am trying to sleep, I can not let it sleep with me bc my allergies tend to act up more if he is all over me and in my face. My other cat sleeps in his own room. The kitten even when you are in the same room meows and wants to be constantly petted or held. I work 9 hours a day, and I need my sleep, any suggestions? Was it a bad ideal to get kitten, does a 5 month old kitten required that much attention? I try to give it some when I can but its hard, and I thought cat were suppose to be more indepent and not require it like dogs do? Thank you

My 4 yr old dog sucks on the paws of this bear stuffed animal until they are all matted down flat. This is the 3rd stuffed animal he's been through, I threw the other 2 away after he wore through and the stuffing started to come out. He likes to lay on top of the bear while the bears paw is in his mouth and you can actually hear him sucking on it, like a baby sucking on a pacifier. He wasnt taken from his mother too early, he was 12 wks old when I got him. Why does he do this??

I have two dogs that stay outside during the early morning hours and sometimes at night. I feel HORRIBLE for making them be out in the cold, what is the BEST method of insulating their dog house for warmth? It's big enough for both of them to fit so they do have each others body warmth on their side. Thanks!

I have two labs and they are fed twice a day. They get plenty of exercise and are not overweight. The problem is that they take a crap 2-3 times a day EACH! Is it the food? They only eat dry, not canned. Can you recommend a brand for me, or is it something else?

We've had him in training. He sits & stays when he has your undivided attention. Our 2 problems are that he jumps up on people when they first arrive at our house and he takes off if he's off leash. He DOES return after a while. Any suggestions for training?

The kitten, Faith, is now 6 months old or so. She seems to have gotten bigger recently, she may be pregnant, we just don't know yet. Additionally, the second baby kitten went missing weeks ago, around the same time Momma started this hissing thing with Faith. Faith keeps trying to approach Momma, but Momma won't let her near and hisses her kitten away. It's bizarr. I don't know if this is normal behavior, I've never owned cats before these ones.
