Pets - 26 October 2006

I need one that can live in a small house with a small yard, that doesn't bark all the time and can stay alone during the day when I am at work. I don't have that much time, so I was thinking about getting an older dog that needs a home from the shelter. I have a cat, but I don't know any dogs that really get along with cats. It also has to be nice with kids ( I am a single mom with a 3 year old son). Any ideas?

My puppy is about 8 weeks old the other is 9 weeks.. I just got them from the humane society on monday. I took them to the vet on tuesday and they vacinated them. Wednesday the 8 week old was in pretty bad shape and they said it could be parvo but they couldnt test it because they had just been vacinated. The puppy died yesterday evening. Is the other one going to die as well? He is still eating and seems to be doing ok, but i know how contagious Parvo is. He does has some diaherra and some vomitting. His temperature is normal.Is there anything more i can do?

I have a 3 year old small mixed breed. She is crated during the day when I am not home. I have been told that she barks constantly throughout the day. I have tried a bark collar with minimal success. I am going to be moving into an apartment where a constantly barking dog will probably not be tolerated. How do I keep her from barking while I am not home? Please help!!

Would you please tell me what your favorite novels with animal characters are? I know the obvious, Animal Farm, Lives of the Monster Dogs, Ishmael, Cat/Dog Lover Mysteries, Charlottes Web and Babe.

Please include childrens books if you love them as long as they are chapter books, as opposed to pictuer books.

Thanks for your help.

My husband and I are having the hardest time getting our dog to behave. He's a pain in the rear. I have tried all the positive rienforcement I can, I shower him with love but he's still a turd. He goes crazy on walks and would rather try to kill himself chasing a lizard then heel...

Any advice? I'm 17 weeks pregnant and worried that he isn't going to behave around that baby.

I was wondering if now that I had one fish die in my tank do I need to empty it out and put fresh water in? I think it died from ick. I just put fresh water in this morning? I have also been treating my tank for the ick for a couple days.

He also has a habit of rubbing against my legs constantly. This gets very irritating, how do I discourage this behavior?

How do you get 4 cats to sit still and get their picture taken in agroup photo? Has anyone been able to do it? I see pictures of cats all the time so I know it's possible. Any Suggestions?

i had a gold fish that died a few weeks ago. it swelled up around his gills, like he swollowed something that was too bid. then stuff started coming out of his sides and it was kind of bloody. well. i had a beta in a smaller tank, so i put him in the golf fish tank after it died. now the same thing is happening to him. i put him back in his original tank but he hasn't gotten any better. was it something in the water? i also have snails, like a lot of them. there are probably close to 100 in the gold fish tank, but i don't think they would have anything to do with it.

My friend rescued 4 orpahned baby mice. It's mother was a victim of extermination. What should we feed them? Stick to puppy formula or should I give them something else?
