Her dog is nearly 5 y/o, and she's had her for 4.5 years. I feel so disgusted to have this person as a friend that claims she's a "hugee dog lover". Her dog has had only 1 litter of pups-which was a nightmare in itself.

Would I be stepping on her toes? Her bday is in 2 months. Should I get a gift certificate for a free spay? She makes more than enough money to live on.. I don't know why she hasn't done it in almost 5 years.

Here are a few of my cat
1. Licks the window after she eats, and in the winter with the condensation,
2. Drinks water with her paw from her water bowl.
3. If a fly gets in the house, its entertainment for the day.

I have an almost 2 year old basset hound/beagle. How long should he be able to be crated for? Yesterday, We left home for 5 hours-we took him out do potty IMMEDIATELY before leaving. Upon returning, we see that he has literally DESTROYED his cage (I have no clue how, this was an expensive and strong cage!!!!) and in doing so injured himself (his paw was bleeding), ripped up some carpet, put a small hole in the wall a and pooped in the house.
Also, we take him out to potty right before bed (between 10:30 and 11pm), yet he will begin whining at around 2am. If I let him out, sometimes he will potty, sometimes not, but he will immediately begin whining when I return him to his crate.
Obviously the dog hates his crate, however I know that in order to be a good dog owner, he has to follow MY rules, not vice versa. However between the whining (which can get very loud and persist for hours on end) keeping us all up and his recent antic when we left for 5 hours, I feel like I am going crazy.

Why is it okay for people to get in fights and they dont go to jail (like in boxing and wrestling)
but why is it considered animal cruelty if you make two dogs fight eachother?

im not saying animal fighting is good. im just asking.

I used to leave food and water out all day for them... but we're starting a strict schedule (once I figure it out).

How often should the dogs be walked to avoid any mess in the house? How soon before bed should the food and water be put away?

*My/our bedtime is usually 1am.

I found a female dog lying dead in the middle of a road probably hit by some vehicle. There were a few dogs lolling around looking curious. One of the dogs came sniffing around stood over it on all its four and suddenly started its pelvic thrusts enacting without really touching it; you know what I mean. One of the people who were standing by the side sneering at what was going on picked up a stone and threw at the dog. And the dog ran away yelping. I had heard of some ghastly stories of some serial killer who either masturbated or had intercourse with its women prey. But I had never seen anything like this. I am bewildered.

Ok, Well I have one female beta fish in a non-filtered fish tank..like a $15 one because i wanted to get a fish in a hurry and I didn't have much money to buy a pretty good, filtered fish tank. Well, First of all I was wondering if there is a pretty cheap filtered fish tank, it can be any size that you think will fit about 3-5 fish and will make them live long..Second, I was wondering what kinds of fish can you put in with a beta fish because I noticed before my old beta fish always fights with my other beta fishes..But now I only have one. Third, I was wondering what kind of fish food should i get; flakes or the ball pebbles, because one of my fishes died because i used to use the pebbles and they were pretty big for it to eat up because it was a pretty small beta fish so yea..Fourth, I was wondering where I should keep the fish tank for example, like in direct sunlight or in a dark place...Pleae answer my questions. Have A Good Day! ^.^

Last summer, my father pulled open some drywall on the construction site he was working on, and he found a tiny, kitten staring back at him. Don't know how or why, but this kitten had been trapped in the wall and was inches from death, skin and bones left only. I nursed her back to health since and LOVE her so much.

She lives ONLY in my bedroom (fair sized) because our dogs do NOT agree with cats. It seems unfair to keep her in one room, but she is the happiest cat I know.

Tonight, my mother came home with 2 kittens she rescued from a man she met who said he was going to drown them if they didn't have a home by tomorrow. THEY ARE 7 WEEKS OLD. I've already lost myself madly in love with them and want to protect and raise them like I have my other cat.

Advice on two 7 week old kittens being introduced into a one-room environment with a 1 1/2 year old cat? Will 3 cats survive together in one room?

I can't bear to give them up to the SPCA, but maybe it's in their best interest?

She can't stand on her leg, it may be broken. I have put blankets down for her and made it so she could get comfy. She is finally sleeping and I will take her to the vet first thing in the am. It's not a compound fracture, but I'm worried that the waiting overnight will hurt her.

so my cat has fleas. About 3 weeks ago we gave her frontline. a few days ago we bombed the house. We let her come back in even though she had some fleas on her face, thinking that those would have already bitten her and the frontline would kill them. well i keep finding a few fleas here and there and she still has them on her face. I dont know what else to do. Shouldnt the frontline work? i hate to keep bombing every month. I'm lost!

She is a 4-5 year old begal. She is shaking, and every once in a while, even if you don't touch her she will yelp in pain. She refuses to drink water. I'm very worried. She seems sad too and scared as well. She can barely walk two feet without plopping over and laying down. She seems like she wants to tell me something, but sadly I cannot speak to her like she was human. WHAT CAN I DO I AM WORRIED!!!!!!!?????????

Is there anything else I can do, this is the third goldfish in three weeks. I bought two for my son and they seemed to be doing well however I have since been advised I have unintentionally killed them with kindness by changing the water and feeding them too often (also having two fish in a bowl would not have helped)
:( so I've now Ive taken the advice on board, have just got the one fish in the bowl but it just hides behind the ornaments and doesn't swim

Yea he was hit in the head but somehow none of us knows how it happenedd..... Were not a family with much money and we cant take him to a vet or anything..... Ive had this Cat since i was in 2nd Grade and now im in my Junior year of school.... I wont lie ive actully cried for my Cat a couple times weve put him in a Emergency Animal Center for one night because thats all the money weve had

We got him back and i think he might be blind noww.. his eyes are like permenintly rolled half way back in his head. He hasnt eatten anything in 2 days and hes kind of dranken some water but im really worried...

And honestly i think the only thing left to do is have him put to sleep

Its a sad choice for me and my family but we cant stand to see him hurt anymore..

He started walking yesterday and since hes been able to barely walk he always falls down..... They told us to keep him in a small area so weve kept him in my closet and he always backs down into corners
Anyone have any advice?

I have a chuwahwah dog and she will be 14 in Nov.She was a Christmas present to me back in 1993. She seems to be pretty healthy for her age other than having some arthritis. Although she has slowed down alot, she still has her days where she will chase my 6 yr old son and play with him and act like a puppy. I was wondering if anyone knows how long a chuwahwah usually lives?

I just adopted a 5 month old terrier mix from the Humane Society. This is the first dog I've owned so I have a few questions...I am seeing through research that I should take her out every few hours for potty...I've taken her a few times and she still hasn't gone? Also, when I go to bring her outside, I put her leash on and she will just sit there and not move...I have to pick her up and bring her out...any advice??
