Pets - 29 October 2006

The puppies are Cavalier King Charles Spaniel purebreds, and on's male, one's female. If you have any tips on crate training, obedience training, or even just day-to-day life, anything would help before we pick them up on Thursday when they're 8 weeks old.

-I have 3 siblings, 11 months old, 6 years old, 10 year old, and me (12 year old)
-Someone will be in the house only 4 times a week, but we have a fence, a good sized lawn and our neighbour also has a dog for it to socialize with while I am at school (8:00am - 4:00pm + 4 times a week I will go to taekwondo (40 minutes))
-We have a pretty large basement with hardly any furniture (just a tv, couch and an old desk + chaire)
-The dog can't look like a rat... my dad hates chihuaha like dogs and the ones with scrunched up faces
-The dog has to be pretty quiet because of my sisters naps... not mute, just not very disruptive
-The dog can't be very big or shed ALOT because it's not like we have maids and stuff
-The dog has to be able to be brought around. We are moving to sri lanka in about a year and a half and it cant be one that gets sick

Please help? Sorrry about all the restrictions, but this is why I need your help.

We just got a new cat, and I know dogs can't eat chocolate, so can you feed cats chocolate?

Is declawing a cat really bad for it? I know that people say that it is terrible for the cat. I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas or experience either way. The cat will be strictly in the house with no chances of going/getting outside. I also plan to have the procedure done very early so that it will not be accustomed to having claws. I just want some honest answers about this procedure so that I can decide.

I have 3 Chocolate Labs. The adult male is nine, the adult female is 3 and the male pup is 4 months. They were all around another pup that had been around a dog that had been in a Kennel for a day or two. None of the dogs showed signs of Kennel cough at that time. But the dog that went to the Kennel developed a cough and the other dogs at that home did too. About t weeks later my older male developed a cough and two weeks after that my male pup has started coughing. The dogs are not around any other dogs and are outside dogs. What can be done for the coughing. From what I understand it is an air borne disease from a virus. The vet said they could prescribe anitbiotics, but everyone I've talked to says that the dogs get well in about the same amount of time and it doesn't matter if you give them medicine or not. Any ideas you know of that work. Can my female be prevented from getting it after already being around the other dogs.

I have always fed any constrictors I have live food whether it's mice, rats, or rabbits. I noticed alot of owners seem to make a big deal about feeding pre-killed food. I have never had a snake injured and I feel if a 6 foot boa has a problem taking a 6 inch rat, it's kind of a p*ssy anyways. I always watch to make sure the food is taken before I leave the room so there aren't any problems. Doesn't it defeat the purpose of having a large snake as a pet if you feed it thawed mice? Why not just make him a sandwich and trim off the crust?

Hiya Guys and Gals
I have had dogs all my life 30 plus years now, ive had large breeds toy breeds pedigree's and mutts, i cannot for the life of me understand WHY people use these Stupid, Stupid, gadgets for there dogs, ie:- My dog will not stop barking... My pulls on the lead... My dog crys when i go out...... And what do some people give as an answer...... Get a spray collar, Get a shock collar, put pebbles in a bottle and shake it, (and scar the life out of the dog)
For goodness sake what happend to old fashion dog training, why do ppl insist on these god for saken things, if you cant control your dog without these torcher items, maybe you should not have a dog in the 1st place......
Dogs are companions, not bleeping fashion items !!!!!!!

This is the second time it has happened. I called the dog pound the first time, but the owners got him back. They let him run loose in the neighborhood and I have an 8 year old daughter who likes to play outside. He also has a Pitbull who hangs out with him.

We got a kitten a week ago. Since she's mine, she sleeps in my room. At night she gets on my bed and attacks me! And its like, if you breath and your chest goes up. She ponces on you! She keeps this up until about one in the morning. I cant deal with this when I need to wake up early on school nights. We try to make her more active during the day, but it doesnt work much. maybe a 15 min. difference. Well, she's only 3 months so Im not sure if its even perfectly safe for her to sleep on my bed, even though its at the foot were she sleeps. We recently got her a cat bed and she sleeps in it even though every one says that cats wont do it. She has been sleeping in the Bathroom for the past week and Im going to try in my room again. Are there any suggestions to making her sleep in her bed instead of mine? At least until shes 4 months old.

My goldfish has recently developed black edges on his fins - when we got him he already had a black streak at the front of his dorsal fin, but now his tail and front fins as well as his rear fin have developed thin black streaks on the edges. Does anyone know what this is? It doesn't seem to have the same symptoms as fin rot and I can't find any ailment with this as a symptom... Please help!

I have a albino corn snake, a hungarian milk snake, two emproyer scorpions, a turantula and 6 inguanas. I used to have a bobcat, but that was by accident. I found it as a baby and thought it was a normal kitten, then it got big and liked to jump of my refrigiater onto people as they walked by. And I figured out that a cats paw shouldn't be the size of a human's hand, ha. I'v had a couple of dust bunnies, but their no fun..........
