Pets - 11 January 2007

I have and Australian Cattle Dog and she always goes through the trash when we're not home. We often come home to trash all over the kitchen. What can I do to stop her? We punish her by putting her in her cage and covering it for a little while but she'll walk up to it and pull trash out again. The other night I caught her with chicken bones in her cage which I know are bad for her. People have said to use a spray but is there a spray that I could use that won't stink up the room and make people feel uncomfortable?

I like them both very much and find it hard to decide
I prefer the Havanese as they come in different colours
But i also like the Maltese as they are smaller
I want a playful, lively, affectionate dog which likes indoors

I have an Australian Cattle Dog who is about 3 years old. My father is working on the parlor (he's working on the stairs and soon the wooden floors) and he recently finished the stairs which my dog Sheba scratched up from going up and down to look out the window. Our front door has a glass window in the middle that she sits in front of and jumps up on when people walk by.Now the glass is all scratched up, which my father is pretty aggrivated about. Basically we have a problem with her scratching up everything.How can I get her to stay out of the room and off of the stairs? We've tried gates but she knocks them down with enough effort. My father is ready to drop her off at the ASPCA and that's the last anyone wants but my dad. What can I do?

He's been acting this way for 2 days...he had been doing his business on our rugs so we put a spray to stop him and ever since then he wont come out of under the chair thats at the end of the hall. ever time I take him to the kitchen he runs back under the chair. when I mange for him to stay there (kitchen) I've had to set there with in order for him to eat and he acts rather nerves when he's eating which is only for like a min. could he be having a weird reaction to the spray,,,even though it wasnt put all around the house? Its wasnt put in the kitchen.

Here's the thing. I have a 10 week Pomeranian who'm I absolutely adore! When I first got him 3 weeks ago, I took 2 weeks off from work to help him get aclimated to my home. During these 2 weeks, I pampered him. He'd want to get up and play at 4 AM and I'd get up and play with him (I know it's wrong and I have corrected this and have made him adjust to my schedule). I potty trained him to use Weewee pads, etc. Now this is my first week back to work and I've sectioned him off in the kitchen with loads of toys, food & water, a Kong ball, a soft blanket, his favorite teddy bear, I leave all lights on, I leave the TV on and I play some soft music in the back ground so the house is still the same but the only difference is I'm not there. My brother checks on him when his work shift allows. I leave my house around 8 AM and get home around 6 PM. When I walk in the door, it's all about him until about 12 AM (and of course I wake up early to play before I go to work). Can anyone relate? Outcome?

What is the average cost to have a litter (of your breed?)

Can you share all the expenses of breeding dogs and why each is important? (From purchasing and testing the parents to raising the pups).

Thanks.

I found my large plecostomus on my floor, he was there up to 8 hours. I threw him back in the tank because he was still alive. He now has scales missing and his fins are deteriorating. My tank water is red which makes me think he's bleeding. Should i seperate him from the other fish or should i find a humaine way of putting him down? He is eating and swimming around so I have no idea if he's going to rehabilitate...What should I do?

Hi. I'm not really a starter but I have a 55g tank and can't seem to keep my fish living. Everytime I purchase a pleco and Gouramis they all die but two. I do clean the tank 1/4 a month with my viper. Just don't know what it is that I am doing wrong. Is there anyone that can help me with advise. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I am a dachshund breeder, and I feel people just think I'm in it for the money. There is a difference between a Puppy Mill and a Kennel. My dogs all live inside with me. They are all treated like pets. I have 3 Dachshunds, I only use two for breeding. The other one has been fixed, but still is my pet. I also have a Puggle who had been fixed. They all see the vet regularly, and are very loved. They all sleep with my kids at night, and the puppies are all raised in my living room where they get constant effection. I plan on getting two more females, but they will be treated just as well. We even have birthday parties for my puppies. I am very picky about who I sell to. I do home visits and vet checks on all potential buyers. I have even turned buyers down because I did not feel they were right for my babies. If it weren't for us breeders, the breeds would die out, and there would only be muts. I love muts, but I also think we have an obligation to continue these breeds.
