I really love all hounds! I have a basset hound and she's the best dog for our family. I have taken quite an interest in bloodhounds. All that loose skin and those long floppy ears. They look like they would be such a fun dog to have. I don't really know much about them though. Are they good family dogs? Are they laid back or do they need a lot of exercise? Do they have annoying habits? Pros and Cons of them. Thanks

My dog a spaded female grew up with an old tomcat named Moustache. Last week i found Moustache dead since then my dog has been acting strange. I also had a younger tom cat but 2 days ago he has been missing. I think my dog is going through a depression as not acting herself. I let her run during the day but put her up at night. I noticed she always looks back looking for her buddy Old Moustache and i tell her he's gone .. Breaks my heart.THey would sleep together in her Dog house and eat together. Hubby and I buried Moustache in the back of the yard. and i cried.

I caught an neighbour being nasty and shouting at my 7 year old cat one day. I really did,nt think to much about it after the event. However very soon my cat got very ill and was vomiting every day first thing in the morning. (It was,nt a fur ball more like white foam.) he got so bad one day that I had to rush him to the vet. They had to keep him in and did lots of tests on him. There was damage to his kidneys. The vet said it could be that he was so dehidrated or something more serious, we gave him meds for a month and checked his blood again. Not to good. But something amazing happened. I moved house and almost immedently my cat stopped being sick. I cant go into every detail about this person however suffice to say he did,nt like cats. Problem is i have no proof. God bless any new neighbours with pet cats.

...then WHY do you ask the question here?

I realize that some folks are ABSMALLY ignorant of of the BASIC responsibilities of dog care but how can you possibly be so arrogant (& SILLY) as to "second guess" your VET'S advice or demand a "pat-on-back" for making more MUTT/MONGRELS or REFUSE to accept the FACTS in answers to ridiculous questions?

Like.....there's NO SUCH THING as "teacup" ANYTHING!!
&...if it's a MUTT/MONGREL,it's NOT *ANY* breed & it's impossible to predict ANYTHING about it.
&....only CROOKS peddle MUTTS-on-PURPOSE.
&....Dogs do NOT have "periods"! ESTRUS is the OPPOSITE of human menstruation.
&....docking & cropping is NOT "cruel" or "mean" or any other humaniac's LYING "buzz-word".

&...list goes on & on & on & on.

I mean FACTS,not some equally ignorant "opinion".
If you need a "cootchie-coo"....go ask yo mama,OK?
Somebody telling the TRUTH is ***NOT*** "insulting" you!

I found a tick on my cat that I know could not have been there too long. It must have attached it self in the passed week or so. What ever happened to the concept of tick season??? I know it this whole season in the Northeast has been unseasonably mild but this seems ridiculous! Any thoughts???

i have a 10yr old quarter/arabian/thouroghbred. she is very gentle on the ground and with begginer riders. I am a advanced rider and everytime i tack her up and try to get up on her she start rearing up and trying to bite at my feet when i finally get up on her. I have had her for about 3 1/2 yrs now and she has just started this habbit about 3 months ago. i have tried everything i could think of from a new saddle, new bridles, whips and everything else. She only does it with me, because my friend will ride her and my friend is a begginer rider and my horse will accept her without any problem. i would like to stop this problem because i dont want to sell her because this summer i am planning to do rodeo and she is the fastest horse around here. so if you could help me plzz give me some edvice please. thank you so much!!

My sister has 2 lovebirds, one male one female and they've recently started humping. It appears she thought they might be neutered when she got them - do they neuter birds? I told her they didn't. Will they breed or are they just enjoying some recreational rumpy-pumpy?

Im sorry if that was confusing. This is my problem. My parents have to take my dog off the property in order to renew their homeowners insurance. They have two choices put the dog to sleep, or give him to someone that wants him. I want the dog, but my mom had been told that if he bites again, as me being his owner, they can sue me and the previous owners. Is that true? And who can i call to talk about? Humane Society??
