I have a really active choco lab and he gets lonely sometimes when I have to leave for work and he has to stay fenced in the back yard. We live in a rural area and I was thinking about getting a shelter dog as a playmate for him.
How does that work?

We adopted a shelter dog three weeks ago. The first two weeks she couldn't wait to go for a walk - now she puts her tail between her legs and won't even go out the door. We never had a problem with walking her on a leash prior to this, no pulling, etc. Now she sits down and refuses to move. At 50+ pounds, she's too big to carry! ;)

Obviously, she's afraid of something, but how do we get her over this fear? She's an active lab and really should walk twice a day, but we are at our wits end as to what to do.

Me and my chihuahua go to the vet tommorrow to get her vaccinated for her tags.
I dread it because everytime we get her vaccinated she shakes and gets sickly and cannot stand on her legs.
What is causing this? Do all chihuhua dogs do this? She is 8 yrs old and I keep worrying she is going to die if we do it to her again. Is there some way to prevent it? Whats the deal with my dog? I told our 81 yr old vet, but he dont seem to worried.

My Cat Jack, is about 8 Months Old. He seems to love the sound of paper ripping. He often gets up on the counter and starts biting into a roll of paper towels, and the shreds them. Why does he do this? And How can I make him stop!

I have a 15 year old Pug. He can't walk now and he can't hear. If he doesn't see us in the room, he cries. He goes to the bathroom where he sits, so I lift him up, and take him outside, and squeeze him until he goes. He eats just fine - in fact, that's the highlight of his day. He goes to the vet at least once a year, but there's nothing too serious wrong with him. He's been my best friend for so long, and I love him so much, but now I have two young children, and they also require a lot of attention. My wife wants to put him down, but I'm having a hard time with it. I don't think his life is going to get any better, and other than eating, I don't think he enjoys anything. Is it time to put him down?

I've seen why people distrust PeTA, but a cursory glance at the HSUS website hasn't revealed to me what is so wrong with them. Can anyone explain?

BTW - I'm from the UK, I know virtually nothing about them - I've just seen so much vitriol aimed at them on this site and I'm interested to know why.

My dog is papered, I KNOW what she is, saw both parents on site, so I don't have any doubts--Other people uneducated in her breed, DO have doubts though...
What I'm trying to see is what the general public thinks she is.
Only those familiar with the traditional line of her breed, will know for sure what she is, but it's still going to be interesting to see what people say.
To satisfy my own curiosity, here she is:

I'm still brainstorming ideas about a comic I'm thinking of making, but the main cat character gets sick with a cold. The problem is, I don't really know if cats can get the type of cold with the stuffed nose and sneezing as main symptoms. I know they can get a stomach bug with a minor fever (Sandy had that a bit after I got her) I'm trying to get some realisim with what cats can and can't do in my comics so I was just wondering.


(I just make comics for fun, not profesonaly)

My cat had an over-active scent gland in his tail, which caused a cyst to develope on his tail. We took him to the vet and he gave us some medication to give him. He also told us to get him fixed. We have done everything he told us to and the cyst has cleared up, the only problem is he has a huge bald spot on his tail. I was wondering is there anything I can do to promote hair growth, or will his tail be like that for the rest of his life?

I saw this documentary on people who take their cats to Cat Shows. The cats DID NOT look happy. They were being held in weird positions, being brushed over and over, given baths every week, travelled by car and plane.

I never realized this happened, but I felt horrible for the cats. The cats were biting the judges and running away.

Did anyone see that documentary? I think it is kind of cruel.
