my dog takes everything out to the garden and hides them, phones, keys, toys, SHOES, everything. He has a dog flap so can come and go how he pleases. Please dont say move things out of the way that is not always possible and besides if he wants something he will get it. The only thing he doesnt take out are his toys and bones. I tell him off and send him to his bed but he just wont stop

My chihuahua puppy is about 5 1/2 months old. She's still pretty small, about 5 pounds. Is she going to grow much more? Thanks!!

I just got my puppy yesterday, he's a Bichon Frise. He was born September, 28th 2006. His colour is a creamy white.

I've came up with a few names for him,
Theo
Alvin
Coco
and, Romeo

I personally like Romeo the best, I want a cute and cuddly name for him not a manly one.

Here are links from my photobucket for pictures of him!

I want to know the breed of the top five best guard dogs.
Why have you chosen these as your top five?

It's for my husband and me. We are wanting a pet and in our apartments cannot have a dog. We have researched what it will take financially and everything. I guess I'm trying to see if there's anyone who got one and regretted it. Don't want to make a bad home for it if it's not right for us.

Do high energy foods, such as Royal Canin Energy 4800 and Nutro Natural Choice High Energy, give dogs more energy or do they just help high energy dogs maintain weight? I have a lab/golden mix who is in training for Search and Rescue, and she is extremely energetic (which is great!). I am wondering whether switching her to a high energy food will be of benefit to her,

I have a 6 yr old female amstaff and now a 6 month old male boxer.
When people come over (even people they both know very well) they get sooooo excited and continue to bark for 15 mins or longer.
I try to get them to quiet down by individually getting their attention and telling them enough. NOTHING IS WORKING.

They are both very good dogs, but this needs to stop. Its loud and at times embarrassing, they act like they are untamed beasts. ANY ADVICE?????

I thought PETA loved animals. I do! Why does PETA kill so many animals that they rescue? After doing a little research I was appaled at the staggering amount at which they kill cats and dogs. Why do they have a cadaver refrigerator?
In one year PETA->
PETA RESCUED- 2,107 nice!
PETA KILLED- 1,324 what!!!
----------------------------------
SURVIVED BEING RESUCED BY PETA only 775 ouch!!!

Looks like it would have been better for Fido NOT to be rescued by PETA
I found that it is amazing how they attack others for doing the same thing. Why don't they attack themselves first?

My cat does that, he does something super-cute and when I take out the camera and turn it on he just walks away just before I shoot.

When I talk to my kitten she listens.. and understands.. One day I found her in the kitchen sink, unable to figure out how she got there.. I then said "bad girl! how did you do that!?"... She then preceded to show me how she got up there and sat in the sink looking at me.. Then today, I was leaving my apartment and I asked her "where's your sister? (meaning my other kitten)".. and she turned behind her and looked around... and then looked back at me.. THEN.. I said "go find her"... and she then took off into the bedroom and jumped on my bed and sat down beside my other kitten and looked at me.. Is my cat person? :).. She's only 10 weeks old.

My mother wants to give me a small chihuahua that was abandoned by her neighbor. The problem is that my landlord does not want me to have a dog. I've asked him twice and offered a very large extra deposit even.

The reason he said "no" was because of the hardwood floors. The hardwood floors are very old and already have a lot of damage. But this dog is less than 5 lbs and my mom says the dog hardly barks and when he does it's more like a coughing noise! Also, I am a very meticulous renter and keep the house and the yard spotless. I would buy runners for several areas of the house where the dog might walk.

We have large tiled kitchen where the dog would stay during the day, so no poop or pee would damage the floors. Should I accept the dog and risk getting caught? My mom said she would care for the dog in the event that my landlord found out.

What kind of dog is Scooby Supposed to be?
I know I've been asking this cartoon breeds but I'm bored and I've had this debate with my husband in the past and he says it's supposed to be a Great Dane but I don't think it looks like one.

My cat is normally very well behaved - he turns into a demon whenever I try to trim his claws. I have tried holding him in my lap, I have tried holding him on the table with one arm keeping his head from seeing what I'm doing to his claws...none of it works. He hisses and growls and bites no matter what I try.

I would hate to have to take him to a groomer for this, but it is such a trial for me to do it and he is usually very well behaved when the vet does it. I'm assuming he would behave for the groomer as well (as it is a stranger also).

Any tips?

I remember years ago, we only gave the medication in the warm months and when we had the first freeze, we didn't give it because the source of infection (mosquitos) was gone for the winter. Isn't this just hype by veterinarians to make more money from us unsuspecting loving pet owners? I think it is just a guilt trip to make us spend more money!

how do I prevent my cat from following me all day and only eating when I pet his fur. I have tried to ignore him gradually every week but by the time I stop touching him he completely stops eating losing alot of weight and starts to moan and scatch in the hallway. I have also noticed that he is licking off his fur when I dont give him constant attention. He is also jealous of my son. When I talk to or give my son a hug he stares and starts to circle my legs.

I thought my cat was a female until I saw it back up to a truck and try to spray the tires. There are no testicles, was he neutered?
