I started leaving my dog, golden retriever of ten months, outside and I am worried that he would keep wanting to come inside. He is shedding and seems too big to keep inside anymore. We built a dog house for him but he doesn't want to go in. Is it okay to keep him outside now?

I just recently moved a new trailer onto my lot, and I want to keep the cats out from under the insulation until I get the skirting up.... I have heard that using vinegar and orange peels works, or using mothballs but I want to know if there is anything else that may help. My neighbor has 9 cats and while I have contemplated a bb gun, I cant be that mean.

Does anyone know of a free web site or a chat group that could offer me some immediate advise? She's being treated for a virus with antibiotics but she doesn't seem to be responding. She became sick all of a sudden on Christmas day.

alright here is the story. Recently my dog has started to dig at my door at night. We have to have him locked up at night because of christmas 'stuff.' So, no matter where we put him (crate, bedroom) he digs (which makes a lot of noise). Then my sister pointed out the cause could be that we taught him to dig at doors people were behind-as a game. And she is right. And I also admit it is my fault he started digging. So if I know what causes the problem- how in the world can I stop him from it?
note: I can't afford a proffesional trainer right now after christmas.

and if you have no idea then could I email some one to ask them how to stop him?

There is a strong overbearing dog dropping, urination smell from the home next door, I have asked the neighbors to do something about it and they laugh. They assume pets have to smell? And how would someone clean that smell? (Yard)

and I would really love to have a small dog to keep me company.( I would get a cat, but I am super-allergic) when I am home. I am out of the house from 6 in the morning to 6 at night, Monday, Wed, and Fri, and Tues/Thurs, I am out from 6 to 4, and home all weekend. So, I have a few questions, really?

1) Is it really worth it to get a dog? Are my hours too long and will it be unfair to the dog (potty, time spent, small living space, etc)?

2) Secondly, I need a dog which is relatively mellow and low-maintenance. I like pugs, boston terriers, and french bulldogs (I know nothing about these breeds though) Are there suggestions you could give me?

3) Training the dog. Should I do it myself, or pay for obedience school?

Any info or suggestions would be WONDERFUL. Thanks guys!

Do you think it is ok or cruel to put clothing on a pet? I odn't have a certain opinion but I was just wondering what others thought.

It doesn't bother me, i just find it weird. I go to bed alone but i wake up with one sitting on one side of me, the other is leaning against me and the other is sitting on my back. Every cat i have had has done this.

I adopted a dog from a "rescue shelter", claiming this animal was a boxer/beagle mix, perfect for the house and my 3 kids.... but now that the dog is about 6-8 months old, its a full blown pit.... i have an 8 year old, 4 and 3..... should i get rid of it?? its really smart, but im just afraid of all the urban gossip.... good advice would be great!!!
