I'm trying to decide whether or not I should get a dog right now. I have been wanting one for quite some time, have been researching them and live in an apartment that allows dogs. I have a pretty good work schedule (I get off at noon everyday, M-F), so I will have time to spend with my new pup after I get off work. However, I'm trying to decide what will be the best thing to do with him/her while I'm working. I have a hallway (wood floors) that I can block off from the kitchen and let them play around in the hallway and bathroom. however, I'm a little concerned if they get bored and get to digging and scratching up my hardwood floors. I can also just close up the bathroom (tile) with a puppy gate..that away they don't feel as trapped as with having a door closed. What do you think is the best thing for a pup?

Does anyone have any advice on how I can open a no-kill animal shelter. A small one that I can handle? I worked at the Carson Animal Shelter for 6 years and I just really want to open my own non-kill animal shelter (but of course a lot smaller so I can handle it and not overwhelm and neglect the pets)????????????

I have a neuted male dog and am thinking of getting another rescue dog. Would it be better to get another male or would a ***** be better. My dog gets on with other dogs but would there be more problems with a second (male) dog in his territory.

In response to this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlO8KFx4WWevwtACa.TeKRTsy6IX?qid=20070114183115AA420i0

I did call animal control on him today. I was still undecided as of last night, because... Well basically, I have to live next to this guy for a long time. Plus he's a cop and I didn't know if I was ready to go up against that. Late last night though, my daughter told me while she was outside playing that one of the dogs paws is bleeding. The little girl that lives next door, told her dad about the dogs foot and his response was, "He'll be okay". Right then and there, I decided no matter what, I was going to call animal control in the morning. So now it's morning and I did call. I looked outside and the dog is limping around. It's leg or paw is obviously hurt. They said they would send out an officer. So we'll see what happens. Poor doggies.

Thanks again for the advice.

I have never had a snail before. I understand that they only come out to eat. When I put him in the tank,(around noon) he came out of the shell for about an hour then pulled back in and hasn't moved since. How often do they come out? Is he dead?

My water tests all came back normal and I am not having any trouble with the fish.

I have a 5 year old "Duke". His mother was a registered Golden Retriever & his father was a registered White German Shepherd. Duke looks like a golden retriever and weighs 100#. My question is what is the best feed for him; should it be all dry or is it OK to mix other food to add to the variety. I have always mixed left over meats & sometimes potatoes and vegetables in his meal. I really want to do what is best for Duke as he is a cherished member of our family. I feel that there are many foods that are a "no no" regarding what he is fed. He does have Hip Dysplasia and is regularly attended to by a veterinarian. My question is solely on "what is best for Duke" and I feel I may be feeding him incorrectly. He also receives other treats during the day with the main meal being in the evening. The dry foods he has been receiving are "beef flavored Gravy Train" and Pedigree Kibbles and Chunks mixed half & half. Please indicate absolute "no-no's" regarding his diet.
Thank you!

If you do, can you tell me a little about it? How much do they cost to purchase, how much do they eat, are they easy to care for...etc.
Any good information would be great!

I would especially appreciate answers from people who have owned/worked with wolf dogs. I don't necessarily want a wolf dog, I'm just curious.

The other cat will hiss and growl and swat at him. Is there anything that I can do? Yesterday I got them both neutered and it's even worse!

I have a puppy who is about 6 months old. He potty trained very well. Just two accidents then no more. I also have a German Shepard/Alaskan Husky dog. He's about about 3 years old.

My problem is that they fight over EVERYTHING. I will give them each a toy/treat/food and they fight anyway. My older dog was perfect before puppy came along. I know he's trying to defend what's his. They even fight over us! Is there some way that I haven't found that can stop this fighting? We don't tie out our dogs. They would just howl and I think it's wrong. We have a nice back yard for them to run in and they are allowed inside almost whenever they want to be. Will the puppy out grow this??? Or will we have the fighting forever??? It's driving me crazy.

Just so you know, I didn't plan on getting another dog. We were happy with just one but I found the puppy hungry and bleeding when walking home from school one day. I took him home to feed him and we just ended up keeping him.

The setup I have now is her litter box and food in my laundry room, but it gets really cold in there at night. I was thinking of adding a second 'setup' upstairs where it's warmer? Would this confuse her?

I would like to hear more about these pups. I have one, and she is the light of my life, in the hound dog department as least. She has eye problems, her temperament is that of a character on a silly cartoon...for lack of a better analogy.
