I didn't know that looking for a horse was such a very long and emotional search.

I'm going to adopt a cat soon, and I've got a lot of candles in my condo. Do cats like unlit candles? Should I put them away?

I was at the dog park today and ours is split into a little and a big dog park. I keep my medium size dog there b/c he gets annoying round little dogs. This guy had a puppy and my dog was playing with him and barking at him but not being mean or biting or anything. I always stay on my dog when he does stuff like this. I make him leave the dog alone b/c it's annoying when he barks at other dogs
The owner of the puppy was being weird about it. He seemed normal but then he would tell my dog to back off when it seemed like my dog wasn't doing anything out of the normal.
It's not like the puppy wasn't following my dog around. The puppy was trying to play with my dog too.
Anyways, as they left they picked up the puppy and my dog thought ohh you picked it up must be a toy and my dog jumped up to the man not barking, just jumping. (my dogs only knee high by the way, not a "big" dog at all)
So this guy pushes my dog down hard. He hit the ground. I was extremely angry. what would you do?

The sheriff just left my house. There really isn't much they can do. They told me that its a felony to steal someone's dogs. I came home and my gate was open and my doggies are gone!!! They CAN NOT open the gate by themselves, and it was open toward the inside. This requires lifting it about 1 inch over the concrete walkway. They did not escape because the fence is too high for them to jump. They did not dig a hole. I already looked. I am going to call the animal shelters and put up signs but still I doubt it will do any good.

They are beautiful twin sister cream chow chows. They are my babies. I am so horribly sad. Merry Christmas to me, huh?

He is seven months and weighs 17lbs. Very active and barks a lot. Loves to burrow and dig. Very head-strong but loves to snuggle. We are thinking he is mixed with jack russell. What do you think????

My dog is a 10 month old bichon frise cross mini poodle, and has recently been desexed. She now has become very naughty - chewing everything when she didn't used to. She also has lost her 'toilet trained' skills, as she now does her business wherever she feels like it. Is this common? And, more importantly, what can I do to help with the problem?

I've had my tiel 7-8 months; he used to be very sweet. He loved to sit on fingers, knees, etc. while we rubbed/scratched at his head & neck. He also loves us cleaning off his head/neck feathers when molting.

Near Halloween he discovered my feet. I prop them up, he climbs down & starts whistling to them, singing to them, exploring them, tapping them, etc. I understand this is similar to mating-like behavior. Now, if I get up and walk around the house, he follows me -- he even flies to my shoulder if I go up the stairs, or into the kitchen or other tiled areas. It's great.

BUT, about the same time, he started biting me -- HARD. He often draws blood. He does it most often when he's been near/around my feet. If I offer him my finger to step up (usually to put in cage to poop -- he's mostly trained), he runs at it and bites. If he is on the floor following me, same thing. He just bit my wrist, drawing blood and leaving a welt. I've tried to be patient, but it's been 2 months now. HELP!

she is one yr old and she was diagnosed this week. Unfortunately the cancer has spread to her regional areas and chemo is not an option for us. The vet has given her Tramadol for pain relief and cortizone to maybe help slow it down. We are devastated and have spent most of the week crying as she was a gift last Christmas from my daughter to my son. Our baby is very much loved and as you can imagine is being spoilt more than usual for whatever time we have her left for. My question is: Do we stay at her side when the time comes for her to leave us and what does the vet actually do when a pet is put to sleep. This is our first family pet and I am in a dilemma on if to encourage my son to be with her at the time (however it will always be his choice - he is 13). Can someone please tell me the process on dog euthanasia in Australia. I would appreciate this very much.

Thankyou

I just got my 6th month old (who ive had for about 4 months) a new friend. My baby is a male, and he now has a sister. They're both fixed.

I came home with her a few hours ago, and i had her in a seperate room. My fiance was in the other, and I was with our cats. They smelled each other under the door and our current cat hissed and growled (?) a little, watching curiously. The new kitten is VERY sweet, about the same age, and just purred the whole time while sniffing - shes used to being with other cats.

My cat has now calmed down, and they were playing together with a string under the door. Can i introduce them? Should I put them face to face in their carriers?

Shoudl I wait a day...? Any tips would be appreciated!! Ive never done this before and I don't want it to sour. They're both SO sweet. TY!
