What kind of bird does well without a partner? I have a small cage and it is not big enough for more then one bird. I am looking for a breed that will be friendly and a good campainon.

My sister is bringing her little fragile toy dog and im afraid of what will happen and my dog isnt around other dogs, so im not sure how he would react. My dog isnt violent at all, he just barks a little. But im just curious as to what i could do to help of both of theses dogs. They're in the same situation basically.

I have 2 cats that I adopted at different times using Craigslist pet category. The first cat came with an uncovered litterbox and did not make a mess when using it, beside the occasional pieces of litter from her feet. The second cat ( actually kitten ) came with a large covered litterbox (with swing door ). Over a few days, I got them to be good friends and share food/water/sleeping space/etc.
The second cat started using the first cats litter and made a mess as she kicks the litter way up in the air. So I removed the uncovered litter and taught them to share the covered litter.
However, the first cat will not enter the covered litter, I have to take the top off, which defeats the purpose. Any ideas on how to get her to use the litter while the top is on? Otherwise I will be vacumming up a pound of litter a day from the second cats littler throwing Olympic event.

Thanks!

I have a four month old siamese kitten, and every site I go to doesn't seem to give me to much information on characteristics, or definitive descriptions on point differences (I don't know if my cat is a seal or chocolate point siamese). Any suggestions on which web sites, or books that would be available?

I have a 6 month old pomeranian. He is house trained to do his business on a "puppy-pad" which is kept in my bathroom. He is very good at going to the bathroom on the pad, but ONLY when he is confined to my bedroom & bathroom (I block the door with a baby-gate). I have tried everything-- gradually moving the pad to the door, bringing the puppy-pad outside for him to go out there, etc.-- but he rarely does his business outside. He'll hold it until we come back inside & then go on the pad. Also, if he is NOT confined to the bedroom & bathroom where the pad is (i.e. if he's allowed to roam the house under supervision) he just goes to the bathroom wherever he pleases, without an attempt to return to the pad. I'm getting worried because he's getting older... what should I do to solve this problem & get him to go outside? I would like to eventually be able to let him loose in the hous while I'm home (he is crated when I'm out) without worrying about him having an accident.

As a rule of thumb, I do not feed my dogs foods containing ingredients I will not eat myself. If it's not good enough to be on my plate, it sure isn't good enough to be in my dogs' bowls.

Please share your knowledge, experience, and links with your fellow dog owners regarding why animal/meat by-products, corn, and other filler ingredients are bad news for dogs. Give them the tools to choose a healthier food for their furry friends :)

I have a 2month old lhasa apso and im trying to potty train him..

sometimes i succes at it but not always.. for example

when i see him sniffing and stuff i quickly pcik him up [is that bad
that i do that?]

and take him outside.. he sniffs and eats the leaves..[how do i stop that]

after a while he poops.. thats all then i dont know wether to leave him there a bit longer till he does both of them.. so he just sits there eating stuff so i take him inside..

couple minutes later he pees in the carpet i clean it up and everything but he still does it inside nothing else just pees..i think i take him at the wrong times because i get scared that he might do

How can i solve this

I just got my betta fish for christmas. My sister has one too, and she says for the past few days mine has not been eating much.

She kept it in a small plastic container for about 4 days until this morning. He was bedraggled looking and the water needed changing.

I did all that--correctly I might add (haha!) and put him in his new bowl, he seems happier but he still isn't eating and I don't know why? Should I take the food out... or what?

I have a boxer mix, he'll be three in Feb. Everytime he comes back in from outside he charges back in the house like he's still outside. Then when he gets on his mat he still plays around and does not listen to any of our commands. While outside playing he does not listen to our commands.
We have very fragile things in our home and he has run into them several times. How do we get our excited dog to know to calm down while in the house and listen to our commands while still excited? Thanks

i have a small cage that i used for my parakeet that died a couple of days ago. I want to get something different, but still kinda cheap. They need to be friendly and able to be happy without a partner.

Also would burning candles and other smelly things be harmful to the birds?

I am just curious to how many people have curious dog and how curious they are? I guess it's a poll.

My dog is super curious and she's so curious that I have to watch her all the time and know where she's @ most of the time. When someone puts down something on a table she stands on her hind legs to try to sniff it and possibly pull it off the table or if the object is higer she'll jump. I don't know if min pins are curious breeds or it's just her nature, but hey sometimes @ 6 months it's good to be curious about the world. Happy Holidays

First of all, she has been fixed, so its not that.

She is howling inconsolably, we have tried all the usual solutions. Since we adopted her five years ago, she has always become distressed if her food bowl wasn't completely filled to the brim, we've tried that. We've tried scratching her head when she eats, but to no avail. She's oddly enough howling in the bathroom, which usually, our other cat usually does when she wants fresh flowing water from the sink to drink. She doesn't usually spend time in the bathroom. We've tried making sure that there wasn't a spider or bug (instead of hunting them like most cats, she stands in the area where they are and howls for mommy and daddy to come take care of it).

She doesn't appear to be in ill health. The only health problems that she has had have involved her teeth. I guess I am wondering if she could be sick? She doesn't seem unhealthy, but I know that cats don't usually show that they are sick until they are very sick.
