I just spoke with a woman with the cutest dog ever. She said it was a Pometon. I asked what that was - she said a cross between a Pomeranian and a ______?? I can't remember the name, but it was long (maybe 3 words) and sounded French. She said it is similar to the Bichon Frise....I can't find out anything about this.... can someone please help?

Does anyone know of any simple games I can play on the ground with my 2 year old gelding to deepen our relationship. I can tell he is warming up to me (I've only had him for 2 weeks) and I want to encourage him to bond with me. I go to the stable every day....even twice a day most of the time, just to spend time with him grooming, tending to his wounds (he was just gelded) and hand walking him. He's been introduced to tack, and I've been on his back a couple times (my vet gave me the OK) but I am really looking for some easy ground work games. Any suggestions?

i was looking online on how to look after outdoor rabbits during winter and i read that beacause there used to cold weather and they would hop around in the snow, it's o.k to let your rabbit out for a 30min run? is that true, i thought that you keep them in the hutch with hay? it may sound like a stupid question but i was just wondering. thanks!

my dog has the body of a pit bul and the face of a lab. The brindle coat really makes her look like a pit. Is there any way to tell for sure I got her from the pound and they are clueless

We recently found an american bulldog. checked by a vet he is approx. 8-10 months, very well taken care of. He is very friendly, playful and partially trained. Until we find him a good home I am afraid of exposing him to my grandchildren and my 15 yr old small dog who is the alpha. Should I be concerned?

My friends cat has a serious issue. He licks off his fur.
He usually does it on his tummy, but has started doing it on the back of his legs and on the base of his tail. He doesn't have fleas and his skin seems healthy, I am thinking it is a nervous thing. (started doing it when he got fixed last year).
He is about 6 years old, in great shape other than this licking thing. I am trying to find a solution I used on my cat when he did the same thing years ago, but can't find it. It was orange based, I put it on my cat and he hated it so much he didnt lick anymore, and it broke his habit.
If any of you out there know of any solutions (available in Canada OR online) to put on a cat to stop excessive licking, please let me know asap!!

This has been a chronic problem since I have owned my cats. They are about 4 months old, and I have brought them to the vet twice for this. They were checked twice for worms, both times negative. Still, I was given oral meds to give them for the often occuring worms, and then went back a second time and they were given a pill for tapeworms. While I "think" one has stopped scooting, but I just saw the other cat scoot. I asked the vet about anal sac issues, and he said they were really too young to have those issues. Any other relevant facts...hmmm, neither one of them is stellar with cleaning their rears (they left their mother too young and I don't think that they were taught to clean themselves). I end up washing their butts for them (yuck). Anyway, I need some help because I just finished steam cleaning my carpets and I really don't want to have to deal with this on a regular basis.

A girl from my work is moving and can't bring her bunny with her. I told her I would take care of it, but I am concerned that maybe my ferret will hurt it. While I know it's a possibility- what are the chances they will get along? My ferret used to play with cats at his old house. And what should I take into concideration when introducing them?
-Thanks in advance...

Hello, I just adopted a stray from the shelter.

I adopted her to be a companion for my current dog. Who is a Akita mix (black & tan w/ a black face) named Captain Jack Sparrow.

She is about 4 months old, very short & stocky. little legs big belly (but strangely not over weight) all black w/ a thick coat. Golden Retriever mix (believe it or not, nobody has a clue what with & she barely look like a golden retriever. Has a Retriever attitude but with a little more gumption. Super friendly loves everyone.

I have no idea for a name. I'd like it to go with my first dogs name. We were thinking Miss. Swan, but the problem is she's not tall long legged & beautiful. She's short, stocky & unattractive to be honest. (Don't get upset she's as cute as a button but...really not an attractive animal. But I love her just the same.)

So I'm picking her up tomorrow tell me what you think would be a good name for this dog!!!

Thank you!

How do you know when a snake is hungry? I asked questions yesterday about how I would go about feeding it since I was so scared of it and got some suggestions on things to try. However I do not know the last time it was fed and am wondering how do you know ifs it hungry. I went to check its water and put my finger on the outside of his tank and it followed my finger where ever it went. Does this mean its hungry?

My cat Ariel was spayed on Friday morning. It is now ~1:30 PM on Sunday, and she is still under the weather. She is barely mobile, and will not eat or drink. She did wobble over to her dishes but I haven't observed her drink. After what time lapse should I begin to worry if she doesn't improve noticeably?
