I know, not a question, but I wanted to thank those who commented favorably on my new pic.

That is my Kermit, otherwise known as Ch Soundtrack Up Up And Away Can/Am CD CGC TT ROM. Unfortunately, he passed away over a year ago at the age of 13. He was usually referred to as Kermit The Dog.

Usually, I leave for work first, and then my husband does. My husband usually comes home first too. But if my husband leaves first, our dog makes a big stink when I leave. He whines, cries, tries to block the door, and gets into mischief when I'm gone...none of which he does when my husband is the last to leave.

Why might my dog freak out when I'm the last one to leave and not my husband?

I get so frustrated at people who abuse animals. And I wish I had the power to help these people! To help them understand and see how unfair it is! I know animals don't have the same intelligence as humans because God wanted it that way. But I still think that he cares about them and he has to hate see them being abused the way many are. After all...he created them. If I create something and someone destroys it, I am going to get mad and it will hurt me. God is the same way. I know he allows humans to suffer...but do you think he allows these innocent animals to feel any pain? I mean after all...we're here as punishment but what about animals? What insights do you all have on what the Bible says about animals?

I'm not using clumping litter.
I have 3 dogs and 2 kittens. Only one dog is doing this, why and could this be harmful to her?

I have a ridiculously lovable & friendly cat named Tiger. He's 1.5 years old now and has had Recurring UTI's (Bladder Infections) for about the last 8 months.

I hear these UTI's can clear up at 4 yrs of age, but that's 2.5 years from now & he's in pain & destroying my house daily (won't use his box b/c he equates it w/ pain). I've tried 2 rounds of Vet Prescribed Anti-biotic "Batryil" and also 2 Herbal Treatments - neither have worked! Now my Vet is wanting to do Xray's for about $250 & potentially a $1000 surgery if he finds Kidney Stones in the little guy! I am sad, but I don't think I can afford these treatments...

As I see it, I'm left w/ the following choices:

(A) Try to find someone willing to adopt my kitty & treat him (if so how do I do this?).

(B) Borrow the money for the Xray's and perhaps get good news...

(C) Have him humanely put down :(

I'm open to suggestions if you have had a similar experience...What do you think? Thanks!

We have litter box trained our male pug, he is about 4 months, he always squats to pee, and I'm GLAD he does, but I was wondering will he always do this, or will he start lifting his leg to pee? I can't imagine him hitting his mark in the litter box if he lifts leg...is there any way I can keep him squatting forever? I know this sounds stupid, lol.

Here's the deal,

I'm moving to college and I live with 2 cats, one of them I truly will miss. The problem is they have lived with each other for years and i'm afraid to split them up. I want what's best for the cats, however, shadow basically spends every waking hour in my room and in my lap haha, so i don't know how he will react to me not being around anymore. :(

I own a full grown golden retriever. The problem is I am having company tomorrow and would like him to look good. Besides I have been wanting to take him for some time. So all he needs is his nails clipped, and his hair needs trimming and perhaps a bath, I am still trying to think if I will bath him myself. Does Petsmart let you choose what needs to be done to them or it only comes in a package of all they will do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We recently had to move because of relocation from a nice house with a 1/2 acre backyard to an appartment in DC with no backyard.. Both our dogs are very small (under 10lbs each) but everytime I take them out and they see neighbors or neighbors pets they go balistic and bark and growl and it is quite embarrassing. They have never bit anyone and at the first advance from a nighborhood dog they tuck tail in run.
I'm sure this has something with moving from a "my property" to "omg they are all over the place we much protect!" I need help!!

I have 2 Pomeranian's, one male and one female. Neither of them are fixed...the female was just in heat a couple of weeks ago and I think she might be pregnant, but I'm not sure.

She has been sick 2-3 times a day for a little over a week. Only vomitting, nothing else. She is eating and drinking like normal (maybe even a slight increase in her food). I took her to the vet and there was nothing obviously wrong with her, but it was too early to feel for pups.

She seems more protective of herself and a little scared to jump on high furniture or into my arms like she used to. She went from 15lbs to 17.7 lbs since the last time she visited the vet, and I have not changed her food. She seems a little more tired than normal, but at times she has plenty of energy to play ball so I don;t think she is ill.

Does this sound like a pregnancy?

Why do cats like to chew on plastic bags? Unless my cat is just completly strange, the second I get home from the grocery store, no matter where in the house she is she'll come running into the kitchen and start trying to eat the plastic bags. Obviously I do not let her chew on them but does anyone know why she would do this?

I want to buy an algae eater because my tank is dirty and I don't have time to keep up with it all the time. (Hence the gold fish as my only personal pet). However, I don't want to kill my gold fish, I've become quite attached. =P So I'm asking to make sure I don't kill my fish due to ammonia poisoning. I had an algae eater before and it died. If you have any idea as to why THAT may have happened, I'd love answers for that too. =) Thank you!!

I get so angry when i see thes stupid ar groups bash greyhound racing! And so many people are misinformed by being told that breeders abuse and kill their dogs. In my 15 years of greyhound breeding I HAVENT SEEN 1 CASE OF IT.

I HAVE NO DESIRE TO DO ANY OF THESE THINGS....

But, having made that clear, I'd like to know the origins of these procedures and how they're done today. Any history on them?
I've heard that tails are done without any anesthesia, in other words, the puppie's tail is simply cut off. Is that really how it goes?

And so that no one brings up the common myth, docking and clipping did not have ANYTHING to do with FIGHTING dogs. Dog fighting is a newer *though barbaric* practice than the altering of a dog's appearance, and I don't think that either procedure was originally done as "breed standard" because they go back to a time when dogs were useful *before dogs were pets, when they were mostly used for hunting and hearding and such* vs. standards don't quite stretch that far back.

I'M NOT TAKING ANY SIDE, DO IT IF YOU WANT, DON'T DO IT IF YOU WANT. I WON'T SAY THAT I DON'T CARE, BUT I WON'T SAY MY POV FOR FEAR OF BEING KNOCKED FOR MY OPINION.

Thank you.

I recently (yesterday) took in a 8 week old black lab pup, It is very underweight and looks very malnourished the people that had it kept it outdoors in the cold and fed it table scraps. As this is my first time going through this any advice would help on what i should so i have fed him in small amounts every 4 hours but he has developed diarrhea I do not see any worms present and am not sure if the puppy has been wormed as of yet. He does not act sick at all he is very lively but i am very concerned about his weight and the diarrhea.

I have a 3-4 month old kitten that my dad took to the local pound recently to get it registered. Since our kitten wasn't exactly behaving the last time he was there, one of the nurses rubbed him abrasively with her hand back and forth on his head, between the ears. Will that affect his mental growth? Or will it affect him in any other way?
