when my dog gets/goes out of the house without a leash she stays in the yard. but the only problem is that she wont come in the house when we tell her to. she stands there and when we try to go near her (ethier to get her in the house or just to pet her) she runs from us(im nice to her too.)
i would let her stay outside all the time but im just worried about something happening to her. i take her for walks and on a leash all the time
ive also tried having luring her in with treats... doesnt work
she does come in when we open the can of dog food...but i mean.. we cant be giving her a can of dog food everytime she comes in...
i dont want her going in the neighbors yard because im sure they dont like that and i dont want her going in the road...(we live on a dead end road but cars still go down every once and a while)but we also have lots of woods in the backyard i dont want her wondering and getting lost.

anyone know a trick or a way to get her in the house when we need her to?
HELP?!

I have had 2 to 4 dogs at the same time all my life and each puppy had some special mark they made as a puppy. I wonder if anyone else had the same experiences and how much diversity there is.
Some are typical but I'm wondering if there are some I haven't dealt with yet.

He is spayed, an absolute darling at home, but has found that one other cat which he simply CANNOT let live. He comes back with tufts of hairs between his claws, scratches which are easy enough to tend to...
But this morning, he came in with a vicious bleed from his temple -hard to tell whether it is a scratch or a bite. He let me nurse him and is now happily resting on his cushion. He is a tough, athletic 8 year-old and I am not overly concerned about this wound as he lets me tend to it with no fuss.

But I do work part-time and I fear that something worse may happen on a day when I am not home to nurse him. I hate the idea of keeping him shut in (lock the catflap) when I go to work but it may have to come to that.

Any other ideas, please?

People that own these type dogs, you think they are different from other dog owners

My kitten is 6 months old and vomits what looks like undigested food on average once every two weeks. She is fed Whiskas pouches and eats no more than 2 pouches a day, so is not over eating. I have tried her on on a different brand a while ago but she didn't like it. I had her spayed just before christmas and whilst at the vets I mentioned it to the vet. She said my cat was the correct weight for her age and to put her on the adult food as the kitten food may be too rich for her. I did this but she has since vomited.
She has been wormed and is a house cat, so is not eating stuff from outside. Is this normal?

My sister recently bought a Devon Rex kitten ("Gizmo") from a local breeder. The kitten was infected with cat flu and was grossly underweight. At 10-11 weeks old, he only weighed around 300g. After a few weeks, he is now looking a million times better.

I am a vet nurse with practically no experience of this breed, having seen only 1 adult. My question is this - the kitten has hair on his extremities but none on his head or body. Is this common in the breed?

Please, only people with experience answer. Another breeder told my sister he will probably grow a lovely coat later on but at the moment he looks like an alien but a very cute one! LOL

He will be loved regardless but I just wonder if this is a common occurrence in Devon Rex kittens.

Hi there.
***I live in a house filled with a total of 4 humans including my mom, dad, and brother; and me of course. My brother is going to be 10 in April and I'm 13.
***We have 5 other pets ; 3 cats; 2 dogs. All get along with each other; they love each other.
***Is fairly easy to potty train; we do know that he is a puppy; and we do understand that it takes time.
***Is fairly small; about the size of a Miniature Schnauzer or smaller.(So we can take him/her in the car; if we go anywhere)
***We already have a Miniature Schnauzer and a West Highland White Terrier; and we prefer to get a different breed.
***The breed should be good with older kids.
Thanks so much. (:

I have tried a lot of things next to shooting the dog. I have 2 acres of fenced in property and this dog is determined to poo in my yard. The owner does not care and animal services said they don't have the time to deal with it. I am think of shooting the dog. What should I do?

My cat that is about 6 months old will sometimes throw up after eating. I have a younger cat that is about 12 weeks old and I only feed them twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. They both do this kind of begging for food ritual in between feedings. I try not to give in for fear of overfeeding them. I noticed when they are eating that my older cat will stop and he looks like he's full, but then he'll look at the bowl, see more food in it, and it's like he has to eat it because it's there. If anyone can give me pointers I'd gladly appreciate it! Thank you in advance.

I have a kitten that is about 14 weeks old. He eats normally but will not eat any treats we've tried to give him. We've got another cat that is about 6 months old and he has no problems eating food or treats. Is there something wrong with the younger cat not eating the treats or do some cats just not like them?

Will the dog co-habit with their house rabbit?
