I have bought him a bone to chew but he won't chew it. I don't want him to be in pain.

I have put in an application to adopt a puppy from a local shelter. She is being fostered so living in a home environment. She is a german wirehaired pointer mix. I will get to meet her next weekend. I would like to be able to ask questions that will help me make a informed desision about whether or not to bringing this puppy home. She is 7 months old and already spayed.

Does anyone have a list of questions one should ask? Here are some things I have thought about:

Is she house trained? socialized ? (animal, children) What is her temperament and has she been temperament tested? What is her medical history? Is she up to date on shots? Can I get all the vet records and talk to the vet?

Any good questions or web pages that you could think of that would help me would be welcome.

Thanks in advance

She will do it once and then just bites it.

Why do they make good pets? I was considering setting up a tropical looking aquarium, any suggestions?

I have a male cockatiel (not exactly sure how old he is.. less than a year). I've had him for about 3 or 4 months but he still won't even sit on my finger. When I put my hand in the cage he's quite calm and doesn't fly around but as soon as i get within about 5cm of him he'll start to edge away and then climb up the cage. I feel really bad because he never gets let out of the cage, but I don't think I'd be able to get him back in if I let him out...please help! I've never had a bird so any advice at all would be appreciated.
