Our 8 mo. old husky puppy can't stand being locked in her crate while we're gone (there's no way we could leave her loose at this point). We've tried everything: putting toys and towels in there, putting treats inside it, EVERYTHING! She digs and digs and digs, whines and howls incessently, and jumps around (which moves her crate) and rips up anything that is dangling near her crate out of frustration. We've even locked her up in it during the day when we're here in order to get her "used to" her crate. She HATES it and she's damaging the house. Please help!

What is the matter with you? Do you not realize what you are doing? Are you that selfish that you would rather earn money off of breeding mutts on purpose than helping to curb our pet over-population crises? You are NOT creating new breeds...you are just making a profit out of a mutt with a cutesy name. As for doodles, they are NOT hypoallergenic!! All dogs have dander and all dogs shed, even if just a little bit. As the President of a rescue organization, I am here to tell you that you who breed these dogs disgust us and make us sick! You need to stop your selfish, foolish acts!
Are you aware that, on average, 2,009 dogs are euthanized in American shelters every day? And yes, some of those are mixed breeds just like the ones you create!!

How do you live with yourself?
I am appalled, and all need to know the truth behind designer dogs.

Wreckless breeding is irresponsible and heartless.

In my neighborhood we've been having an ongoing problem with cruelty to animals. Intentional cruelty. Recently a neighbor noticed that her cat's tail had a funny "kink" to it. She took it to the vet and he discovered that fish line was imbedded in the tail (which was broken) and had formed a scar ring. Apparently some form of intentional mistreatment (likely swinging or throwing) was done. On Halloween people set a cat on fire (gasoline) and let it run down the street...it was found eventually under a deck but didn't make it. It died an agonizing death. These are just a few of many incidents. Why is this happening???? I can't for the life of me understand why people would go out of their way to harm an animal?

After moving into a new house my dog started getting spots on her belly. She is an indoor puppy. I had her fixed about 4 weeks ago and had the vet look at them since there seemed to be more and she was loosing hair. The doctor gave me a lime sulfer dip and said it will dissappear. It has been 4 weeks and it isn't getting any better! Is there something I can do to my house or to my puppy to get rid of ringworm??

I have a swordtail...female obviously.
i have done some research, and it says that there should be a black mark on her lower abdomen. i dont see any black mark, but she has gotten pretty huge and poops a lot. plus, she is already black....heh
how long are these fish pregnant for??

if you can send me any links or info, that would be GREAT.

i'm just worried because i want to be able to monitor her and get a breeding net and stuff, you know.

i really care about my fishy!

This story starts out sad and may make you mad but keep reading because it ends happily.

My husband saw a kitten thrown out of a car going about 80 mph. He got out of his car and tried to rescue the kitten. It was crouching in a snow bank- the temperature was about zero. The kitten ran under his car and crawled up into the underbelly. She refused to budge. My husband finally felt he had no choice but to drive home. Once there, the kitten ran into his garage where after a few days she was caught in a have- a -heart trap and brought to my house - where she is welcome and will receive veterinary care. It's only been a couple days. Except for some damage to the pads of her paws she is thriving.

What can I name her that will highlight her strong will to survive? She is so tiny but a real fighter for life.

How do we fix the problem? She will lay in the waste. She doesn't care. She loves to be groomed and when that happens she is good for a while then starts up again. I think she knows when she is bad. Could she be doing this for spite?

Our hamster stays awake all night long, and rides his damn wheel. He sleeps all day long? Any suggestions, I have even pulled his wheel out, he is still up all night.

I work with pets every day and am constantly amazed at the stupidity of people that have absolutely no education on any breed but still consider themselves qualified to to be breeders. most of them are completely oblivious to even the breed they own. they bring poor quality pets with numerous health and stature defects and have no idea why their puppies are sub par. my question is why would any person go blindly into a situation that could result in loss of a living being that with a bit of reading could be avoided?

I am a breeder of bettas for about 4 years now and I am looking for something else unique to breed, although I still will breed bettas I love them. I need an animal that can be kept in an aqarium so no rabbits or dogs or anything like that. No birds either. I was thinking of poison dart frogs and even though they are not posinous in captivity anything with the word poision in its name I dont want to deal with. Also I would prefer not having an animal that has to be fed crickets or meal worms or nasty bugs, I can tolerate most worms and wingless fruit flys etc. etc. Let me know if you have an idea that goes with all my criteria lol.

shakes sometimes. He's a JRT mix (my first time owning a small breed). He has a clean bill of health and we don't hit him or yell at him. He quivers sometimes though. I've asked other people with different kinds of small breeds and they say it's just something small dogs do.

We don't know if he was abused because we adopted him from Rover Rescue. He was only a year old when we got him and he had spent 4 months in a shelter followed by 1 month in a foster home prior to us adopting him.

It doesn't seem to happen at any particular times. He could be outside in the yard, laying on the couch, in bed with us at night. It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason.

I haven't asked my vet yet, but I intend to.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
