I really want a lab, and I am much more of a "big dog" person, but people are starting to tell me how hard a big dog is, and its a bad idea, etc. Is getting a smaller dog really that much easier?

Often I am patting near his face but not always. Once or more a day I always like to sit down with my dog for a pat and a chat - we both love it! He is a 9.5 yr old Akita and becoming fraile.

I would really like to register him with somekind of orginazation like akc or ukc that recognizes this dog as a breed? And how I got about registering him. Please, thank you.

So my dog had pink paw pads when she was a baby, but i noticed after a little while it turned black. i know her paws didn't just change colors. I think it might be because of just walking around? Is this common? and is there anyway to get them back to pink? Is it good that its thicker and darker now, because it seems like its more protective than soft pink pads

I've seen this dog recipie book at Cost Plus, but holy cow it's $13.00 for a small little booklet, besides I don't think I can buy it, photocopy it, then return the book. LOL. I've got one 8 year old mixed terrier (pitbull & rot) and a 1 year old adopted black dog with a long beak (lol--she's not my favorite). How can I mixed up some good dog treats like carob brownies or dog edible biscotti with household ingredients? Thanks!

It's a reddish purple Betta, and I'm considering it a male fish just because I want to. And don't make fun of me because I want to name him. Some people consider fish as insignificant, whereas, I think of him as a loved pet.

We have a 7 month old puppy. I am going to start a new job in Mid-January which will keep my away from home 8 hours a day , 3 days a week. I've been working from home for the last 8 months (since we got her). Our puppy is crate trained and a very even tempered mutt. But we've been having a chewing issue for the last 4 weeks which makes me hesitant to leave her out while I'm away. In the last month, she's chewed an area rug, vertical blinds and a computer wire! She has a lot of toys, a KONG (with treats stuffed inside) and many stuffed toys. She has destroyed every stuffed toy we've given her - we've had to throw away some of the toys as she opened them up and pulled out the stuffing.

I have bitter apple, so any other advice would be appreciated. I'd love to leave her with run of the house, but I'm afraid she will chew something and be sick or worse.

Thanks!

Hi all, some information about me and my family:

Me : Male, 30 //
Ex-Pet Owner? : kept no pets at all (Parents are keeping fish), first time considering dogs as pets. //
Family Background : Parents & me only. All 3 of us are working day-jobs and leave the house early and comes back evenings. We're free on weekends & holidays; hardly travel. //
Dog we're interested in : Pembroke Welsh Corgi //
Apartment size : 6th floor, 4 room apartment, reasonably big for a small dog //
Interest in dogs : For me, VERY HIGH. I have read up all about Welsh Corgis and their temperament, hygiene and care. But unsure if I can give it the attention it needs... but definitely will reserve time each day to play and care for it. //

Based on the information above, do you guys think I can keep a dog? Is there any solution or alternative on how busy families can keep dogs as pets?

I came back to my aparment two days ago, and brought my cat with me in the car. she hates car rides, which is normal for her, but ever since we got home she has been acting so weird. she's been meowing and growling, not scratching, but meowing strangely. She growls when people pick her up but is normally so so sweet. She doesn't act hurt.

Also, at home, she chased a lot of mice, so i'm thinking that maybe she could have gotten some weird disease? I'm worried about her.

i have a 9 month old chihuahua puppy and we just moved into a house with two cats. since we moved he's been eating the cat food almost exclusively and he looks really thin (you can see his ribs). he still poops regularly and acts normal but i'm still worried. people continue to remark that he is really skinny. is there a risk of him being malnourished because he's not eating the right kind of food? what can i do to make him eat his own food? please help, he's my best friend in the world!

Most of you were correct.. Dog#1 15 votes, dog#2 13 votes
It was dog#1 who attacked his owner bit her on the face, and left severe gashes on her lower lip. It was not because he was abused or in pain or afraid, it was because his owner misinterpreted his signals and neglected to address or recognize his food aggression. The dog had a rawhide bone which his owner gave him, then she attempted to play a game with him using the rawhide like a stick...she bent forward to snatch the bone playfully from the dog and he jealously attempted to protect his bone by crouching and growling over it... she froze and then he lunged at her face and grabbed her bottom lip leaving 2 deep torn gashes which left some scars. Luckily she was not seriously maimed, she did keep the dog and admit her fault. Although never violently or physically abused dog#1 had been poorly trained and became aggressive with food because his owner did not spend the time to train him she was too busy with school and friends.

My cat was not able to urinate properly.So we took him to the doctor. He said that stones would have been formed becoz of the food which i give.saying so ,he removed some white color substance from my cats urinating part. And the he pressed some where near my cats stomach.All the urine came out. It took him more than 1 hour to take the waste out. After two days, i feel that still there is more stones formed in him. He weighs more. But one difference i could see is that,when there was the stone,while sleeping the stomach would go big whenever he takes a deep breath. but as of now its not. but i am still scared. i also find bad to take him to hospital now as he suffered a lot on the first day. Now when he urinates,its not a free flow but he urinates in drops. I am scared too much. He is less play full. the doctor has injected him and said that it may come once again.Can we permanently remove the stones? what food should i give to him. Currently i am giving fish,bread and milk.Please help
