Pets - 6 June 2007

I live in the midwest and am looking for a bunny. I'd like to purchase it from Petsmart, maybe Petland. Basically I am looking for one that is already spayed/neutered but doesn't cost alot.

It is getting to be time where the 3 Miniature Schnauzer pups need to be neutered & spayed. They need homes soon, in the next 2 months or so, because of our family vacation. Believe me, I do not want to "get rid" of them so soon, I love them. But, it would not be accepted at our cabin, as we have 3 Schnauzers of our own.

Anyway, they are almost 4 months old; the earliest our vet will spay/neuter. Do you agree or is it too early? I know there are possible health risks and it is controversial. I am not sure of the age where it is OK and safe; I know 6-7 months is recommended.

We would LOVE to do this before they get new homes, but we can add to the contract that the MUST be fixed at 7 months or they will be severely fined. I trust my vet and know he would not put them in danger...but I need advice.

Thank you!

If you have had a pet rat, would you recommend it as a first pet. How about for young kids (that really want a pet, and I think would treat it respectfully).

I have had a betta for about a year now and the other day the thing was swimming around on its side and upside down, I thought for sure the thing was going to die, so I said a few kind words went to bed and got up the next morning to find that it had figured out which way was up and was swimming perfectly normal. Anyone else have this happen???

I have other fish in there and they swim normal...not wobbly. My two molly's shake a little I haven't noticed it before but I have to look closely to really see it. My ph and ammonia levels are safe, filtration is good, and all the other fish seem great.
I just don't know if all molly's are this way or just mine....I would think they had a little stroke...if that's even possible for fish....any help?
Also, my Molly's, guppies, and platy's nip at the tank ornaments and then quickly rub their body over the smooth parts, it looks like their way of cleaning or itching themselves, it's kinda cute...should I be worried about that?
thanks a bunch.

My friends and I just bought a lobster from walmart to keep as a pet. The people at the store didnt know anything about it since everyone buys t hem to eat. Does anyone know how we can keep it alive? what kind of water we can use? what to feed it? Will it stay alive tonight? we put it in the bathtub with some salt (no iodine) and we fed it chunky ragu spaghetti sauce... thats the best we could do

I see my dog going in what seems to be tons of circles before laying down. Why?

I have an 11-year old mixed breed female. She has a double-layer coat and we have her shaved every summer. She has always had nice black fur when it's at its full length, and then we see the grayish undercoat when she gets shaved. She has also gone gray around the muzzle. I know all of the is normal. But, this last time she got shaved, we saw spots! Spots of black fur in her gray undercoat. Spots that were not visible before she got shaved. She has never had spots, shaved or otherwise. Her skin underneath is a uniform color and looks otherwise normal.

Is it normal for a dog to develop spots like this? They look like small dalmatian spots except they are black spots on grayish fur.

In the morning when I go to make the bed and my cat is sleeping on it I always tell her to move but she just looks at me and goes back to sleep.

So, I just make the bed right over her and she just lays there and doesn't even care. The whole bed will be made covers sheets and all and there will be a lump of kitty in it.

After about 10 minutes, she crawls around and finds her way out. It's halarious.

Just wondering if any1 else's cat does this?

A few weeks ago, I was driving through a rural street and saw a black cat get hit by a car and thrown a few yards. At least 2 other cars saw it but nobody stopped. As i drove past the cat, i noticed it twitchin hysterically, so i turned back to see how bad it was hurt. Its body was intact, with a little blood dripping out of its nose. By then it was lying motionless but i could see it was breathing.

After a few minutes of standing there, I decided that he was probably as good as dead and dragged him to the side of the road in the shade and left. The next day, the cat was gone.

Everyday i pass by that area, i wonder if that cat lived and if i'm a horrible person for leaving it there. Am I?

ON TUESDAY 6/5/07, MY DOG, BOLO, WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED BY THE AMHERST COUNTY DOG WARDEN. MY DOG WAS A VERY LOVING BOXER MIX WHO ENJOYED NOTHING MORE THAN PLAYING WITH HIS DOG BROTHER, DUTCH, HIS TINY TOY DOG SISTER, MADDIE, AND HIS CRAZY KITTY BROTHER, MERLE. HE ALSO ENJOYED PLAYING WITH OUR NEIGHBOR'S 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON. EVERYONE WHO HAS HEARD ABOUT THIS HAS SAID "WHAT? BOLO IS ONE OF THE FRIENDLYIST DOGS I KNOW, DID HE TRY TO LICK HIM TO DEATH?"

BOLO IS NOT A DOG THAT IS ALLOWED TO ROAM FREE, WHEN OUTSIDE HE IS EITHER SECURED BY CABLE, LEASH OR UNDER OUR SUPERVISION, THIS WAS A MATTER OF THE METHOD OF CONTAINMENT FAILING. IT WAS NOT A NORMAL OCCURANCE. THE DOG WARDEN ARRIVED AFTER BEING CALLED BY A PROBLEMATIC NEIGHBOR, WHO CALLS THE POLICE AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK ON VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOOD RESISDENTS. BOLO SPENDS THE MORNINGS ON A CABLE SO THAT HE CAN GET PLENTY OF EXERCISE, ALONG WITH DUTCH, THE CABLE BROKE AND HE WAS IN THE YARD BEHIND THE HOUSE BESIDE OURS. OUR BACKYARDS CONNECT AND IT IS NOTHING NEW FOR HIM TO BE THERE SO HE PROBABLY THOUGHT HE WAS NOT GOING TO BE IN TROUBLE. HE WAS WRONG.

THE DOG WARDEN CAME AND WITHOUT ANY ATTEMPT TO SECURE BOLO, HE DECIDED THAT BOLO, BEING A BOXER, MASTIFF, BULLDOG LOOKING TYPE DOG, THAT HIS LIFE MUST BE IN DANGER AND TOOK OUT HIS GUN AND SHOT HIM DEAD. AT THIS POINT A NEIGHBOR CALLED AARON AT WORK AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON, HE RUSHED HOME TO FIND THE BOY WE THINK OF AS ONE OF OUR CHILDREN LYING DEAD IN OUR YARD WITH A COLLAR AND MORE THAN 6 FEET OF CABLE STILL ATTACHED. IT WAS OBVOIUS THAT THE DOG WARDEN MADE NO ATTEMPT TO SECURE BOLO BY ANY OTHER MEANS.

THE DOG WARDEN'S ONLY COMMENT WAS THAT BOLO GROWLED AT HIM. HOW MANY OF US, PRAISE OUR DOGS FOR BARKING OR GROWLING TO ALEART US THAT A STRANGER IS AT OUR HOME? HOW MANY OF US HAVE TAUGHT OUR DOGS PURPOSELY TO DISPLAY THAT VERY BEHAVIOR? WHAT IS IRONIC IS THAT BOLO, NEVER REALLY LEARNED THAT LESSON. HE WAS SO FRIENDLY THAT IT NEVER REALLY STUCK. WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT BOLO'S GRUNTING AND SNORTING FOR WHICH HE IS FAMOUS, IS WHAT THE DOG WARDEN MISTOOK AS GROWLING. BOLO HAS NEVER DISPLAYED ANY AGGRESIVE BEHAVIOR IN 4 1/2 YEARS. WE'VE HAD HIM SINCE HE WAS 6 WEEKS OLD. IF I THOUGHT THAT IT WERE POSSIBLE THAT HE COULD ATTACK THE DOG WARDEN, I WOULD STILL BE JUST AS UPSET, BUT I WOULD KNOW THAT THIS WAS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT RATHER THAN THE BRUTAL MURDER THAT OCCURED IN MY OWN BACK YARD.

THIS IS A WARNING FOR ALL DOG OWNERS, DON'T THINK THAT YOUR DOG IS TOO NICE OR THAT YOUR DOG IS SAFE. IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANY ONE OF OUR BELOVED PETS.

PLEASE REPOST THIS SO THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE AN OPPURTUNITY TO TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS TO SAFEGAURD THEIR ANIMAL, ONE PET MURDERED IS ONE TOO MANY.

The kitten is rambunctious and needs another friend to play with, because he and baby are BFF until either decides it is time to stop playing IMMEDIATELY!
