Pets - 7 November 2006

I don't know if it is possible because my dog is pretty much a push over, but she learns very well. Everyone I know say that she listens very well and is the best trained dog they've ever seen. I just wondered if I could train her to attack if I need her to do so (robber with gun/that sort of thing). How would I begin training? Could I keep her temperment the way it is now or should I expect her to be less effectionate and sweet?

I believe that bites USUALLY occur because the way the owner handles/trains the dog, but SoMeTiMeS this isn't the case. I'm asking people to list what breed(s) of dogs they believe to be the most vicious. I personally don't like Akitas. They're beautiful dogs, but when they get angry, they get crazy... lol that rhymed.. by the way, I said Akitas, because I've been around many different breeds of dogs, including Pit Bulls and the only one to attack me was and Akita. I was 12.. lol THANKS!!

My cat is exhibiting all the classic signs of a bad cold. He is sneezing, his nose is runny (or he is drooling), his eyes look sleepy, he doesn't have a normal appetite, and he is less active than usual. I don't think an antibiotic is necessary, but can I give him a small bit of aspirin or cold medication to make him feel a little better?

I know that it's not December yet, not even thanksgiving, but my friend was making a christmas list for her parents, and so i did. I put that i wanted a dog and i was talking to my mother about it and we were talking about cocker spaniels. We decided that i should go online to find out the prices of them so i could help save up money, or she could think about it, and i wanted to know if anyone lives in the state of New York that has just bread cocker spaniel puppies and that might happen to have a blonde female that is purebread and ready to take right before christmas. If you do, how much would it cost. If not do u have any suggestions on where to look for the prices and places of cocker spaniel puppies?

Don't get me wrong, I love my pooch. It's just that with two cats ready for war and twenty-eight pigeons that are so tempting to chase, he causes mass chaos. As a matter of fact, he knocks over everything from the garbage can to me to my computer tower. How do I tame the mongrel without breaking his neck?

We just got a new baby kitty, his name's Oliver. What breeds do you think his parents might've been? Anyone who can identify two likely breeds?

She will sneeze out a yellow "chunky" like liquid out of her nose. and then afterwards she digs very aggresivly on the ground and rolls around and rubs her nose on the ground and then she has difficulty breathing and will hold her mouth open. she has done this for as long as i can remember and i have brought her to the vet and they dont know what is wrong with her. does anyone have any suggestions of what this could be? i am desperate to find out what is wrong with her so i can get this problem fixed.

These are the most fun dogs - mine have always kept me laughing with all their silly antics & funny expressive faces. Tell me some of your Boxer's 'TOP 10' funnies?

My husband has two dogs from before we met. He has trained them that it's okay to jump up and lick food off the kitchen counter, jump up on people, and jump up on the furniture. The dogs are both nine years old (sister and brother, border collies). He wants to get a new puppy sometime soon to "carry on the pack", since one of these two will peg out in a few years. How do I train the new puppy properly, and NOT to follow in the disgusting habits of these two dogs?? My husband will continue to do as he sees fit ,when I'm not here.

What level of training does your dog have? (basic obedience, advanced obedience, property protection, personal protection on a family or executive level, sentry dog, tracking, naurcotics) Who did the training? How far would you be willing to take the training or how much further would you want to go? When you bought your dog, what was your intention for him/her? (companion, family dog, personal protection dog, property protection, service dog) Tell me your stories. I want to know what your opinions on the training you received.

When my cat had her kittens, she had a different meow than usual. It was beautiful. Kind of like singing but she only used it around her kittens. She's spayed now and I'd give anything to hear it again. Has anyone else's cat that?

Bad thing is, this house is my son and daughter-in-law's. They don't have kids that live with them, but son has 2 children that stay with them every other week-end. I would guess that I should just shut my mouth and not say anything, huh? Just needed someones opinion.

This is the thing, I moved to Alabama a short 3 months ago, the guy next door has a very big dog (Susie) she is sweet and kind. Susie is not taken care of, I have spoken to this guy and he says "well, she just is here, I don't feed her and I took her to the guy down the street but she keeps coming back" so you know I am not dealing with the shapest knife in the drawer.
The guy next door hasn't been home for about 6 days and I wondered how Susie would be fed, (he must feed her something as she is still alive) and tonight I go out with my dog and she is standing there crying because she is so hungry. I go inside and get her some soup I made and mixed it with the cat food I had.
My heart is breaking as I can't take her on as a pet but the county doesn't seem to care. If nothing else is there someone in Alabama on here that would take Susie home? Sorry so long but this has me very upset. She likes other dogs and kids.

Ok sometimes my 6month old puppy will start whimpering and crying and flops on his back when doing so. I use to think that I was overfedding him because it happened after he ate and thought maybe a tummy ack, then i noticed that it even happened sometimes before he ate. I change the food too thinking it was the food. Any suggestions? before taking him to the vet??
