Sorry, everyone else on here asks stupid questions so I thought I might as well ask one! LOL! Yes, I know TONS of breed names and other words are always misspelled on here... But my pet peeve is SHEPHERD because I own, show, and breed them. I'm amazed at how many people own "Shepards"... I've never known a GSD to "ard" sheep... Nor do I know any that "hard" sheep. They HERD sheep... They are German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, White Shepherds... Not Shepards, Shephards, Sheperds, etc. LOL

...in the rural areas. This really bothered me. I bought it up to several local people, and they kind of shrugged it off as if it was no big deal. These dogs were feral, emaciated, and looked broken down from having litters & a rough life. Some were purebreds (coonhounds, Beagles & Pit Bulls), some a mix of recognizable breeds. It still makes me sad to think of it - does anyone know of any possible solution to help these poor dogs, and/or better educate & encourage people in that area to spay & neuter their pets?

I am getting my home ready for a new puppy. What I read says more of what type of toys not to get them. This will be my first Bichon puppy. The last six years (no kids in the house any more) we had only cats. We are setting up an exercise pen in the house with a crate in it.
Now I wish to get some toys ready.

Recently my dog has given birth to nine puppies, and ever since word has gotten around, I have had so many people hounding me about "saving them one". Many of these people have been known to neglect animals in the past. I want all of the puppies to have a loving family. Please tell me how I can politely tell these people no without offending them, and also how can I go about making sure all my puppies are placed in loving homes?

For the past year my cat has been peeing on my bed weekly. I used to live in an apartment but my dad had a big surgery and needed me to move back home. So now i have a room in his house that I share with two cats. I wish I could let them roam around the rest of the house but my dad has four big dogs that look at my cats like lunch. Anyhow at first I thought the problem was that their litter box was clean enough so I have been cleaning it like crazy. Then I thought it was because I havent been spending enough time with them. So I spend a lot of time with them giving them a lot of attention. Unfortunately that hasnt worked either. My cats are still taking turns peeing on my bed. Someone at work said it might be because I have a feather comforter and it makes it so they can knead it and want to pee there. Has anyone else had this problem and maybe an answer. Im losing my mind and I cant see myself getting rid of my kitties.

i mean with all these clinicans. examples: clinton anderson. whats with his stick and teaching horses to stay out of ur space. i would rather have my horse in my space(as long as they aint steppin on toes) as to slappin it in the head with a stick and makin it afraid of me and draggin behind me..ray hunt... buckin a horse out before gettin on it... why create a problem teaching a horse to buck and having to fight to stop the problem... did u all know ray hunts horse had to be thrown on the ground behind a building every time he got on it.. because he created the problem of "bucking the horse out". every single time he rode that horse he had to do throw it down to get on because if tried any other way the horse would buck his a** off. why start a horse to buck unless it is going to be used as a bronc in a rodeo. craig cameron. no more space or i would write more.. does any one else agree with me?horse world is turning to ****. better horses back in the day then now. more ruined by them

My dog, Cookie, is a 7y/o Boston Terrier mix. She has a wonderful temperament, and we are looking forward to her whelping within the next 2-3 weeks. My husband and I are new to this aspect of pet ownership, so we would like some advice on how to prepare for the coming event and how to care for the puppies once they are here. Anything helpful would be appreciated! Thanks!

I'm curious, I actually plan on getting 2 very young puppies, one a yorkie and the other a schipperke. Now, will these 2 butt heads or are they very much compatible, I don't plan on breeding them.

If anyone can give me or point me in the right direction of where I can get some answers I'd appreciate it, thanks!

Does anyone know how to get the "rat" smell out of my male rats' hammocks and bedding?

I wash their bedding in the washing machine each week, but can never get the smell out completely.
