Pets - 9 January 2007

I have a 10 wk old boxer puppy and we are working on crate training. I left him over the weekend for a couple hours, he was fine, laid right down. I have him go in there, give him a treat, etc while we are home so he knows that his "spot" and a good one, not a bad place to be. Today i went home at lunch to play with him, and put him back in to come back to work, gave him a treat, usual routine. He was crying SOOO loud i could hear it outside. Is this normal? If so, when will it stop, or how can i help it stop? I feel so cruel and can;t even focus on work now! Suggestions please! :)

Got a new lovely kitten about 3 weeks ago (he is about 10 weeks old). I don't have any experience with this little thing and now I just wonder how much longer is it gonna take him to get used to litter tray. I have 2 trays and I'm keeping them as clean as possible. When I got the second one things were going fine for 4 or 5 days but then he started to go elsewhere again. I keep showing him and even moved the tray to place where he goes to.
Another advice I need for is...he keeps sleeping in my bed and using it as a tray. How do I keep him away? I put treats in different places, keep taking him off the bed but he just won't get it and keeps jumping back up. Thanks for all the advices

I have noticed that the only time that my dog howls is when I play my harmonica. I find this rather amusing but is it a sign of appreciation or is he- like everyone else- protesting at my "music"?

I have several parakeets who have been living very happily together (I thought) until yesterday when I got home and found one of the older females pecked to death ... lately I've heard quiet a bit of squawking coming from their room so perhaps the others have been ganging up on her .. Can you tell me why? She appeared healthy.

I like how playful she is and I do not want to be just a lump of fur laying around if I get her spayed. Am I being crazy?

Okay so here is the problem: Lately,i've noticed that everyday I get home from school something is chewed into pieces....rugs,blankets,etc. His name is Luda,and he's a male. Luda's breed is part black lab/part greyhound,so he is big for his age. (about 2 yrs old.) The problem is that...if he is punished...he will put his head down,and cry. We would be more strict,but the problem is that he's my brother's dog. We are watching him while my brother finds a place to live & a job (due to relationship issues.) Along the way..Luda was abused by someone that he was watched by,because he always puts his head down if you encourage him,and he flinches with the slightist move of anyone.
(moving arm,walking across room,etc) Can you give me some advice to teach him to stop misbehaving,but without being too strict? Thanx.

My dog throws up everytime I bathe him, and if he isn't throwing up he is gagging. At first, I thought it was the water getting into his face, but I avoided getting water into his face and he still vomits. Anyone have any expierence with this? How do I stop it? Is it something with the breed?

My puppy can get quite aggressive when he is playing. He managed to get my childs sock off and when I tried to get it back he wouldn't let go of it. I had to retrieve it from his mouth and as I did this he bit my finger hard. He has never done this before and it seemed more agressive than normal. How do I handle this one?

He is a tomato clown fish. He's been in this new aquarium for almost three full days. The recommended food I'm trying to feed him is krill (the frozen food alternative.) I've heard that fish can be shy and not eat, but how long should that go on? Also, he seems to spend a lot of time at the bottom of the tank in the corner. The PH, salinity, nitrate/nitrite levels are all nearly perfect and the water temperature, along with my heater, is about 80 degrees. Am I doing something wrong? Is this normal behavior for a clown fish? Please help! Thanks!

I have a friend who preforms internal examinations on her pregnant jack russel bitches using her fingers.I feel uncomfortable with her doing this and am sure the dogs are too.Is it normal and safe for her to be doing this?(she does it before labour starts,to see if they are dilating,and during the labour).
