I work third shift, and would like to know if working the night shift would be hard for a puppy? I'm home all day. I plan on letting a puppy out just before work at around ten thirty and don't live far from work. So I should get there ten minutes after seven. My breaks are at one, three and five in the morning but I'm only allowed two ten and fifteen minute breaks and can't leave work. I do plan on taking at least a week of half nights just to go home. Would this be long enough? Any advice would be helpful.

I have a awsome horse! he is a white and grey appy. He has a big gash on his leg and i think it's because he is fight ing with other horses. I don't really know what to do, should i move him to a better pasture? Should i be worried? Should I freak out and call 911? I've never had to deal with the horses fighting and i don't know who is picking on him so what should i do?

I cannot have a dog or cat. I am thinking about getting a bird, but don't know if it's a good idea. I want a bird that would be smart and learn to talk and do "tricks" somewhat but I don't want a bird that is obnoxious...I recall a while ago my son's friend had a bird at his house and he said it drove him NUTS but I can't remember what kind of bird he had. Bottom line...I want a bird that's interactive, smart/clever, but won't make a ton of noise and irritate me. I also don't want to spend a lot of money on the bird itself and I don't want a bird that will live decades, as I know some can. Advice?

I moved into a neighborhood full of stray/abandoned cats & have tried for ages to get help from welfare groups etc to rescue them, but eventually realised I had to do it myself so I set up a website aimed at getting 13 stray cats living on my street into loving homes. The site has live streaming video of the kitties needing homes and all the kitties enjoy hip- hop music...so on Saturday mornings they play for 1/2 hour to hip hop (which is now!). So please tune in and help a good cause??? And tell me, do you like cats & hip hop music? The street kitties sure enjoy it! http://www.kittiesinthehood.com

I am asking this because my friend has a hamster gender:male and she put it in a cage with another male hamster and they both began to do sexual things. I also saw a report about animals in other continents and countrys as apes and such are acting in homosexual ways.

An associate of mine was in town for business, and asked if she could leave her cat at my place for one day. She explained that it was too cold to leave the cat in the car while she ran errands, and didn't want to spend money on a hotel room for 24 hours.

Supposedly her brother's flight was delayed, and he wouldn't be home until the following day, at which time she would stay with him.

Her cat is older, and has been in the her family for years. Although I love animals, and wanted to watch the cat, I was uncomfortable doing so because of the cats age, and also, if something happened to her pet while in my care, I could be blamed.

I'm sure most people would have let the cat stay for one day, and not think it was a big deal. But I view family pets similar to children, and I'm uncomfortable watching either unless I'm close to the owners or parents, and familiar with the pet or child. Was I wrong for not watching her pet? What would you have done?

I have 2 five month old male cats. They refuse to use their scratching toys. I've heard that its considered cruel to declaw cats, but the way I see it is I'm giving them a safe home, food, and love. Its better than being on the streets starving. Is it so much to ask that my furniture not be destroyed? They are 100% indoor cats, so they dont need to defend themselves. My mother in laws cats are declawed and seem fine. So whats the big deal? Would it really be horrible of me to declaw them?

They are both male, and about 5 months old. I've tried putting catnip on the post, I've tried holding their paws and showing them how, I've even tried the cardboard scratchers, the rope ones, and the carpet ones. Still, they dont even touch them. They prefer my furniture. grrr... any advice? I've never had cats before

I just brought home a new 7 year old lab mix male (90lbs). My home already has an IG (20lbs). With his food and treats and toys he is very gentle with myself and my 3 year old son. Without toys his plays well with my IG (that is used to being around only big dogs.) But when he has a toy he snarles and growls at my IG. Not at my son or at me, just at my IG. I get that he is trying to establish his dominance in his new home, but is there a way to keep from doing that. If he ever did go after him it could be fatal? (90 lbs against 20!) When I leave I am kenneling him until I can trust him but can I do when I am home? Any suggestions are welcome! Just as a side note, he is terrified of my two cats, any suggestions there would be nice too!
