Do people here KNOW that there are books written on pretty much ANY subject pertaining to dogs?

Books about breeding, genetics, dog behavior, obedience and agility training, health and emergency care, dog shows, EVEN dog names!

Pick up a BOOK and LEARN something BEFORE you decide to buy a Whateverdoodle or breed brother/sister/sire/dam!!!

we feel really gutted about the decision, we can adopt an older cat, yet we were searching for something that will grow with the family. We have checked local adverts and there are none available... as much as i could get an older as a substitute, we really wanted a young cat. We feel that the cattery is treating us unfairly, after all most cats are timid, until they get to know you... why is it ok for them to see a kitten go to a person who will be in work all day, than to a family who will give the kitten the love it needs?

Will it harm an animal to drink homogenized or pasturized milk such as 2% or Vitamin D?

I am looking to purchase a young female yorkie. Are there any breeders in south carolina? Or Do you know someone in South Carolina who can no longer keep their yorkie due to owner's failing health??

Technically she is my sister's. She is about a year old and she is a very well behaved dog. I brought her home with me so she could have the puppies at my house. My sister has 2 kids who would not have been able to keep their hands off the puppies, not to mention I was more excited that she was having puppies than anyone else. When I brought her home I made sure that she was comfortable in my home and took her to the pet store to cheer her up. She adjusted very well, but she has become very clingy and attached to me recently. I do not mind this but it is to the point that she will go sulk in the other room and looks very sad all of the time now. I am confused as to what is actually going on with her. She doesn't seem to feel bad but how can I tell for sure. She seems sad and she spendsalmost more time with me than her pups. I want to do something with her but I am not sure how long is ok for her to be away from the pups and I would like ideas of what would possibly cheer her up

She is about 4 yrs old and very loving but has just recently started jumping on the kitchen counter and of course we are not happy with her when she does. I might be answering this myself but we have gotten another kitten about 2 mos ago which she is just now starting to let get some what close to her. What do you think and are there any ways of breaking this problem. It has happenes about 3 times in the last 3 weeks. Thanks!!

She has been vomiting for days..it is now turned into bile. She will not get up to urinate and now smells of urine. She wont move, is lifeless and looks to be in pain. Every stomach medicine given by the vets wont help. She is dehydrated but will not eat or drink. She has lost a lot of weight. I do not know what it could be..they have done blood tests and xrays and nothing came back. I cannot afford urinalysis and all of those things so I thnk it may be a disease. Should I let her suffer through it? I really really need some help.

the skin at his low back is slightly raised or inflamed. when petted gently, he looks around like there are spots before his eyes and he does a repetitive chewing motion, petting harder seems to irritate him and he snaps at my hand so i'll stop. the vet gave him a shot claiming allergies, but after 48 hours, there is no change. has anyone seen these symptoms in a cat before and have an idea what else it could be?

okay my question is since my guppy is pregnant(i think) and christmas is coming up so i have no money to buy another tank i was thinking i would just use the breeder net until they get to big then i would seperate them by male and female into a few rubbermaid containers, so heres the question: will a heater in the tank burn the sides or anything since its not glass?

She had a bath the other day..I have inspected her over ...several days in a row...paw pads...joints..teeth...nothing? I'm baffled! Any ideas?

I have a dog who is 13yrs old on Monday and recently she has started barking in the early hours of the morning. I am having to get up and let her and my other dogs out, but she will then not settle back down until I have given her her breakfast. Even if I ignore her she will whine and stand at the door which in turns sets the other dogs off. This morning she started at 0230hrs I tried not to feed her but gave in and ended up feeding them about an hour later. This is making me very tired as I am struggling to get back to sleep once I have got up any suggestions on what I can do.

this might seem bizarre to you but i find nickelback melodies somewhat amusing, especially that paperback novel song. what is it called so i can download it? i think all nickeback songs are hilarious, and would be even funnier if i knew the context. but that isn't going to happen because they make everyone laugh even the canadians.

i really have my heart set on paperback novel, or whatever the hell the song is.

I have mutts, but I have neighbors who have a weimaraner. This dog is amazing and no matter what amount of training and obedience this dog has had, it still outsmarts it's owners.

It's comical from our point of view, but frustrating for my neighbors.

Anybody else been outsmarted by their weimaraner? I hear this is one smart breed...
