Pets - 11 January 2007

At first I thought it was becuase they were puppies, but now they are like 6 months old and I have to constatntly watch them when I take them out beacuse they will eat it off the ground, at night it is hard to closely watch the both of them. I just wish it would stop so i didnt have to follow them around all the time when they go out to go to the bathroom.

My dog is 10 yo and not as active, but he is very strong. He pulls me if I walk him on a leash and I can't control him. We don't have a fenced in back yard. I think he is bored, what can I do?

plus my cats stay in the backyard..( just like a dog) it really did hurt my feelings that the cat prefer to go outside and she only wants to come in when it rains... she was an indoor cat for like 3 yrs then when she looks out the window and sees other cats.. she just wanted to go outside... I didnt want her to be the one always inside looking out...my opinion and my other cat is almost 14 yrs old I think im doing something right....

I love my dog. He's a little spoiled but it's ok. He still listens and we have so much fun together however he can not stand my boyfriend touching me. We live together and ive been with him since i got the dog. But the puppy still sleeps between us even though hes now up to 50 pounds. Its a little crowded but i love him and like him there. My problem is that whenever i lay aginst him or kiss him the dog barks. he hates the attention on anyone else he even trys to climb between us. What should I do? I dont like the barking but i love him being so close

I have 3 parakeets, and when they want food or water, they chirp real loud. well, they have a full dish of food, and and they have fresh water. they get loud when they're scared, or when they are fighting. is there anything else that would make them get real loud? i can't let them out, b/c they don't have their wings clipped, and they're not exactly human friendly. and i'm scared my dog will eat them when they hit the floor.

And what could i do, or try, to keep them more quiet? i don't want them to be totally quiet, i mean i like their soft chirping. but when they start screeching, and being really loud, is when i can't handle it. it hurts my ears, and it drives me nuts!!

Is it possible for a wild crow to learn to speak english? It is possible for them to speak 3 languages? I ask becuase my co-worker was talling a story about how she used to see this crow at her old job and he would speak 3 languages and had "quite a vocabulary".

My kitten loves to run away anyone when they go near her. I got her sunday night. she lets us play with her but when she gets tired it is the only time she will let us pet her. yesterday i played with her with this fishing rod toy thing for like 2 hours then finally she let me pick her up and she slept on me for about an hour. Is this normal? also is it normal for them to chase their tails? and one last thing. How do i get her to stop climbing the couches. she wont climb the curtains, she stays off tables, she has never scrtched or bitten or clawed anyone. but she climbs the back of the couches. how can i make her stop? she is onlt 2 months old so she is to young to de-claw her and i really dont want to have to do that

I have a mare who just turned thirty and she is family to me. In the past year her arthritis has become more apparent and we have tried to keep her comfortable with Bute. We are now dealing with euthanizing her and are curious on what to do with her. We have thought about burying her in the pasture but dont plan on living on this farm much longer. We have also thought of creamating her but the cost is around 2 to 3 grand. We dont want to send her to the renderers as she is our family. Also we have thought about keeping her hide as a memorablia of her.
Any opinions would be most helpful at this time. We wish we could keep her forever but dont want her to be in pain. Thanks.

i have a medium size hound cross and i'm thinking of getting a friend for him (in about a years time) i can't handle 2 dogs his size so i thought a small one would be better. he is a neutered male and at first sight looks aggressive around dogs. he then sits and waits to say hello, but the owners are usually put off by his firts reaction. can you suggest a few breeds? the dog needs to be able to cope with long walks.

I am so tired of reading about them. I dont understand why we blame the dog when in most cases it is the owners fault. People your dog is an animal. Animals do what animals do!!! They will also do what they have been trained to do. Lack of training is the real reason most of these dogs hurt people. I read some answers that say people shouldnt own dogs if they have kids. Well, if I used that logic, I shouldnt take my kids fishing. Last year a women was killed when a swordfish jump in the boat as she was trying to reel it in and pierced her heart. And lets not forget no one should cross the street because there may be a bus coming. More people are bitten by small dogs but, you dont see anyone protesting Yorkies do you? Thanks, for letting me vent!!!!

I have read over all the previous answers to puppy names. She is a pretty white with light brown spots and freckles all over her nose. She loves the water and is laid back. My husband does not want a girlie name and I want something different and not a boy name. we are trying to compromise and it is not working. It is almost a week and we still do not have a name. Any suggestions to something unique and kinda feminine but not too much??

I have a 10 wk old boxer, he is the joy of my life, except when he plays this new "game" he loves oh so much. When he gets very playful, he latches on to our pant legs and starts pulling, when we say "NO" and try to pry him off, he then starts play biting our hands, and anything else he can reach on us. Clearly this can't be a habit as he gets bigger. I have tried ignoring him, yelling NO in a deep, stern voice, it doesn't phase him. Does anyone know of other techniques we could try to get the point across at his age?

Oh, by the way, we have tried wearing shorts around the house so he ins't tempted, then he just goes for our bare ankles!

like their not allowed to go outside? I tried to keep my 2 cats indoors but they just didnt want to stay indoors all the time, isnt an animal suppose to enjoy nature and not be on a leash esp a cat.. dogs sure... it made me feel as if I was doing something wrong...I know the dangers cats face outdoors but IF they sneak out when the door opens and dont want to stay inside... isnt it only right to make them enjoy the best of both worlds?

My dog every time he wants something starts to almost growl and bark. Do you think he thinks he is telling me something. He looks at what he wants while he does it and even stands near it. Then once I comply hes silent. And do you think they understand our words? I mean they do know the diffrence between sit and jump. Or is it pitch.
