Pets - 10 January 2007

I have just been offered a beautiful puppy for free from the person who owns the parents. Mum is a ridgeback/mastiff and dad is a mastiff/ rott/ridgeback. The little girl is absolutely gorgeous light brindle with black mask and socks and is gonna be huge. Now the problem is that i already have a doberman with skin problems (generalised demodictosis-mange non transmissible) and when i saw the pups mum she had eczema apparently bought on by the pregnancy but i am not sure about that. The puppy has exactly the personality i want as well, i just dont know if i should take on another dog that may or may not have skin problems. I also have 2 kids and a part time job. I really really WANT this pup but SHOULD i take it?

I'm in the National Guard and currently deployed overseas. I have a year and 8 month old cat who I love like a child since I have no children of my own. I have owned her since she was about 10 weeks old and had her right up till she was a year old before I had to part with her. When I get home, it will have been about a year and a half that we have been apart. I am concerned that she may not remember me. As I stated I have no children yet so her and I were very close like family. How much do cats truly remember about their owners from the past? I'm pretty sure she doesn't think about me right now as she is in a very good home, but once her and I reunite, will she actually remember me as the "daddy" that raised her?

I hate them with a passion. One attacked my dogs recently. They were bred for dog fights and are the dog of choice of tweakers and gangsta types who fight dogs for drug money. I watch only news on TV and read the news daily and cant believe all the pit bull attacks. Google pit bull bite if you dont believe me. Ban these dangerous beasts before one goes after you or your child or dog!

My step dad fought throat cancer 4 14 months & died in Feb day after his birthday! My 16 yr old Husky died in May of liver & spleen cancer. Y did I cry more 4 my pup then 4 my step dad? I knew my step dad longer than my pup! In fact my step dad was the 1 who got me my pup! I know they were close SD (step dad) & pup. She was always by his side even when he died! When they took his body out of the house she tried 2 follow them 2 the herse. I know she was depressed when she went out she tried 2 find his scent in the grass (she followed the EXACT path they took him 2 the herse). When we took her 2 his grave site she tried 2 dig 2 get 2 him we think she still smelled his scent (it was about 2 weeks after he passed away). Y did they both have 2 die from cancer & so close 2gether? I only cried @ my SD's wake/funeral (@ the cemetery) & I cried 4 days after my pup died? Y I don't understand? Any ideas?

i have a 6 year old cat. i love her so much! but she's drinking from the vase my mother has in the living room! i dont mind i justi dont know if its healthy for her. the vase has stones at the bottom and bamboo plants growing, no dirt. i dont know how long she's been doing it. when she runs out of water in her bowl she'll go drink from the toilet or sink or vase (cats are so smart!) she hasnt been acting sick. and sometimes she does it when she has plenty of water in her bowl. i just need to know if its okay for her to drink from that kind of water

I would like to start breeding Labrador Retrievers properly. I have researched the breed thoroughly and have decided that I have enough money to open up a Kennel and start buying my first few (show/breeding quality from excellent bloodlines) Labs. I want to become a good breeder; not some stupid Backyard Breeder. I know everything I need to know about Labs and breeding but I don't know where to start. I wouldn't be able to start breeding for 2 years (so the dogs can grow up) and I'd be interested in opening a kennel PRIOR to breeding my first litter. I have found several Lab breeders in my area (Vic, AUS) selling champion quality Labs for $1400 each and decided to buy my first one. I wouldn't be able to get her for another 4 months as the litter is not due yet and there is a waiting list.
Without insulting me, can anybody tell me where I should start? I own a large house with a large backyard, swimming pool etc. but I also own a house in the country with acreage, near a lake...

I'm fostering an over weight bun on a strict diet but is allowed healthy treats in MODERATION! I have a treat ball where she has to chase it and really work for it and i think its a great exercise motivator.

I've seen people almost make out with their pets, because they sit their and let their animals lick all over their face. As a Christian, I haven't found a scripture about it because I don't think people were that perverted back then., but I know from past experince, I'm not allowed to have pets because pets want to have control over you. Cats want you to pet them, and if you don't, they sometimes scratch you. Dogs want you to be friendly to them before they trust you. I'm not going to let animals have control over me.
