and email me if you are interested in him!

And, what can I do to get more people interested in adopting him?

He'd be a great apartment dog, and he would do well in a home with children, a single person, even an older couple/person. He'd fit in with just about anyone!!!

So, I am not a fan of cats at all. I have found that they have funny issues that you can exploit for your own amusement. First, when a cat is hacking up a furball, it is especially funny to point and laugh and degrade it. They really get the point. Other than that, I find it hilarious that cats need/want privacy to poop. So, as soon as I hear them go in the box, I stand there and stare and make them feel as uncomfortable as possible. Some will get so freaked, they leave the box to come back later when I'm not around.

My question to you is: Is it really wrong to enjoy these small, but hilarious moments?

My beautiful, sweet and loving kitten Lightining died tonight. My dog thought he was trying to get his dinner and tried to warn him off and carry on eating but he caught the kittens head and punctured his skull. His head was no bigger than a snooker ball and my dog is a Labrador so you can see the comparison. Thankfully it was instant, the dog didn't mean it, my husband said it was all very quick and when it was over the dog tried to push him with his nose to wake him up . I was at work at the time and when I got home it was all over. We have just taken him to the vet to dispose of him and even the nurse was in tears. He was not a very lucky cat really, he has had many many near misses, it seems that his 9 lives were used up in a very short time. We still have his brother though so at least there is some comfort in that. My little son is very upset and even my "hard as nails" husband has been crying, he feels guilty as he was threre and just couldnt stop it as it happened so quickly.

we just got a german short haired pointer....its not very old and since we leave from 7:00AM till 3:00 PM we cant watch her to make sure she doesnt potty in the house...so first we tried a small doggy crate and well she crapped all over herself in that every day so after a while we decided to lock her in the kitchen...and again she crapped and ran all in it and made a huge mess out of it...so i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to train her better with out a dog-sitter

What kinds most popular? Large or small? Maybe they buy the same kind of dog they grew up with? Does it matter how smart the dog is rated?

it looks like a very narrow slug but maybe a worm? Is it just an aquarim snail that hasn't grown a shell, it moves a little fast for a snail.

This doesnt happen all the time but evey once in a while when I go to let my boxer pup out of her crate I noticed A LOT of clear liquid in her crate. I usually figure she must have just messed in the crate but,when I got to cleaning it I realized it was not urine. It was basically odorless, almost like it could have been water but it wasnt because I don't keep water in her cage unless im gone for hours. Has this happened to anyone's animal and what is it? My vet is closed today so I plan on talking to him tomorrow.

I moved to the country almost 4 months ago.Since then several starved cats has adopted me(not starving no more). Alot of the houses in the area I live in is built on bricks(blocks). These cats has 3 acres of land to mess on but chooses to go under the house.We will be skirting the house sometime after the holidays.The smell is terrible.It attracts alot of flies.Is there anything that I can put under the house that will discourage the cats from pooping under the house that will not harm the cats and cost under $100.00.I just cant turn my back on a animal in need nor can I drop them off at a shelter that is over ran with unwanted cats.Im fixing all the cats starting with the females first to stop anymore unwanted cats.

My current fish are:
1 algae eater
2 diamond tetras
5 neon tetras
4 mollies
1 swordtail

My aquarium is big enough, and I've read a lot about angels, but I was wondering if any of my current fish will have a problem with them.

I know when people have dogs they love to talk about them, so heres your chance.

What type of dog(s) do you have? What are their names? How old are they? Do they get along with your other pets if you have other ones? What kind of food do you feed them (the brand, dry or canned or pouches)?

Tell us about the happy things you love to do with your dog and things that make you smile everytime you think that event happened,etc...

I just recently brought a female brussels griffon and had a question to ask and I only want a serious answer. The other night I was about to go to my bedroom when my puppy attached herself to my leg and well was making a "humping" motion. I swatted her off and she continued to make the motion for about 10 seconds and stopped. I have seen a dog that was a girl do this once but I didnt know why. She is 4 months old. Is she in heat? I looked it up but couldnt find anything. She is definently (sp) a SHE.

Also we want to crate train her but she is having difficulty and is pooing and peeing everywhere. I know she is a puppy and it will take a little while, but I heard pets from pet stores are harder to crate train because they are used to going to the bathroom in there place and have no problem doing it in there even though it is to just be a place for them to relax. She gets walked in the morning, stays in the crate in afternoon, walked when I get home and again at night.. advice??

I was about to buy one, but then my wife panicked and said she thinks they're one of the most dangerous dogs to be around families and kids even if they would be kept outdoors. If true, any other suggestions? Thanks

We have 5 cats, 3 females, 2 males. Newest male is 7 months old, got him in June for our other male who was hated by the girls, needed a buddy and to get him to leave our one shy girl alone. Now the older male romps with the kitten, but the kitten stalks and chases the shy girl who has lost the little backbone she had. She came off the streets six years ago, must have been abused, and has only had love since then. She’s become a recluse and has lost some weight, vet says she’s healthy. The kitten is still in his ADHD stage, we intervene between he and the shy girl but he is undeterred and comes right back. Plastic bag noise only scares the shy girl, and squirting him only works for as long as it takes him to bound away and turn around to come charging back. Any suggestions?

She's thrown up twice, I've taken her to see a vet and the vet said it's normal. I'm feeding her Cat Chow. I was wondering if there's anything I can feed her that she would enjoy eating, but that won't give her diarrhea? Also how can I make her more comfortable in my home so that she will eat?

Why do your pets go crasy when there is going to be a change in the weather..example "snow", have you noticed this change in your pet, and is it just cats and dogs that do this?
