Pets - 27 December 2006

Okay well I was wondering would a pitbull look good with cropped ears and if so how old should she be to get it done and how much does it normally cost?

Would she look better with a docked tail or cropped ears?

How much are dockings also?

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!

I used to have mice and rats, and now want a snake.
Should I feel bad about feeding frozen mice?

I came back to my parents' for the holidays & my mom has been keeping my cat in the basement from like 10 PM until noon... and any time that she has to do paperwork or bills. We don't have any other cats and (1) I think he gets lonely. (2) He pounds on the door to get out in the morning... and (3) it's colder and damp down there. However, she claims that he "likes it" and "cats are independent" and "the basement is enormous" (it is 1000+ square feet and finished) so that's her reasoning. His litter box is also down there. She also can't get any paper work done with him because he actually does plop down on top of whatever you are doing and if you take him off, he just goes back (he did this for years). She treats him like a 2nd child otherwise and he literally sits on her lap for 4 hours every night.... so I don't know what to think.

Rather than just jumping on the "that's horrible" bandwagon (i know) i am curious if there could be ANY thing that is ok about doing this.

well i've had my bgk for about a month now and he seems to be doin fine the past two days during the night i have noticed some odd behavior he will hover above my largest plant in the tank and then he swims right into the base of the plant and just hangs inside of there after he eats and he stays there until morning when i turn the lights on i was wondering if this was wrong or if he just really likes it in there. i was also wondering if anyone knows a great place to find how to make a perfect habitat for the bgk and i was also wondering if lunar lights would be a good investment


Thanks,
Zach

I want to buy a rabbit, because they are really adorable..i understand the responsibility of one (I also have a dog) but i don't know whether i should get one. Also are they hard to train or look after? What kind of responsibilites are involved?
I have a big backyard we i can build a hutch...
What breed would be good? I like the really small ones, maybe a dwarf rabbit...any suggestions? and female of male?
I'll like a bunny who likes being petted and cared for, but doesn't require so much attention that i can't take my eyes on it(sometimes i go out so the rabbit would have to be in the backyard)

Turn off the sound and watch the dogs. They are just scared of him. There is a syndrome called the "magic trainer" where an outsider can get a dog to do things the owner can't just because the person is unknown to them. His show are highly edited and they don't show you the bad stuff, like when he is unsuccessful.

My dog acts crazy! Pouncing on nothing. Barking and running back and forth obsessivley. He jumps out of our fence and has to be tied on a dog run so he won't get lost. We adopted him from the pound at 6 months. He was there cause he was too noisey and got kicked out of his apartment. My husband is considering returning him to the pound.

My cat showed up on my doorstep 2 years ago and was very sick. I took him in and to the vet, where the vet said he had an upper respiratory infection. He got well but ever since he gets sick all the time...sneezing mostly. He is an indoor cat and is never outside, so I don't understand why he keeps getting sick. Every time I take him back to the vet, he just sends me home with an antibiotic that only sometimes works. Is it possible that he has allergies or something? I am spending so much money and he just keeps getting sick again...

Our 12 week old [female] kitten recently started peeing on the beds. We have two other kittens [8 weeks & 8 months] who haven't done this before. We have two litter trays that are always clean [we clean them every 2-3 days] and they both know where the trays are [we haven't moved them].
Not sure how to correct this behaviour. Any ideas?

We wash our blankets [and sheets as it always soaks through] and we spray the room with air freshner to get the smell out but she still does it. I don't know how she can still smell the pee?

I've tried shutting the door to my room but as the other [1] bedroom doesn't have a door, she does it in that bed [if my door is shut].

Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop this? I don't want the other cats doing it!
Hurting/getting rid of her is not an option.

Thanks =)

I have one 3 month old female thai dog (medium size mongrel). Just got a pitbull cross, mother was also a cross so I guess that makes him a quarter pitbull. I am worried about the danger side of a pitbull especially around children, is this made worse by it being a cross or better? Also will my other dog be overly jealous?
