I never thought that they did, but recently someone I know was badly attacked while petting one and required many stitches. I know it ultimately depends on the dog and its owner, but do sheepdogs have a natural incline to do this?

I'm pregnant with my first child and have 4 cats. I have been around cats ALL my life. If I hear one more ignorant a*s*s* tell me I MUST NOT clean cat litter pans or I MUST get rid of my cats because they will hurt a baby I will just scream!!! How do I educate people to the realities of life with cats???

TRUTH: people who have been around cats or who do gardening have been exposed to soil-borne illness (toxoplasmosis) and have antibodies. There is little to 0 risk in handling cats or litter boxes. Still paranoid? Wear gloves.

TRUTH: cats do NOT steal babies' breath or sit on babies' faces or smother babies to get at the milk. Anyone concerned ever hear of a closed door?

PLEASE folks help me combat the stupidity. My co-workers and even some people I called friends seem appalled that I am keeping my cats!!!

If not long ones, maybe just short jaunts around town? I ask because I have thought about it and coming home from vacation this past weekend i saw a few cars on the road that had sleeping cats that were loose in the car & thought to give it a try.

i got a crowntail betta a few days ago and i'm having trouble picking a name for him. he's blue/green and has a red band along the tip of his fins. the name spike is out of the question since it seems too common of a name.

HI,
I have a German Shepherd that likes to spend his time on the roof of the house, is there a law that prohibits me from letting my dog on the roof. I got a citation from animal shelter since some lady complaint about him being on the roof.

Thanks

One of my dogs had 3 treatments of AI on Aug 6, 8, 10. I do know the first signs of pregnancy. She would be just now 4 weeks pregnant if she is. After her first and second heat, her nipples inlarged alot, I know typically after their first heat they do this... This is her 3rd heat and they are enlarging again, but they are more saggy this time. She has been unbelieveably lazy and showing the early signs. Will false pregnancy give all of these signs as well? And does anyone know the basic costs of an ultrasound?

I have an english bulldog whose about 17 months old. We have no children but recently my sister, her 3 kids and her female english bulldog (who is in heat) came to stay with us. He's very protective over the female dog and he snapped at my nephew while he was petting her. He also freaks out when the 1 year old cries and and kind of tramples on her when shes on the floor crying cause he knocked her over. I know hes not doing it on purpose but how do i teach him to be gentle with the kids and not hurt them?

Seriously, why would you guys get GitEmGang deleted? You all know you travel around the boards looking for this person. Why cant you just give a thumbs down and move on? I happen to enjoy some of the replies. I love to see the Idiots and BYB's get slammed. We all have a right to be here. Cant you just let it go?

Hello. 3 nights ago a wonderful cat appeared in my front window outside. since then i have went outside to visit it and know he is a boy cat and he is so friendly. he even sleeps outside my bedroom window sill like he's watching over me.

my husband is already annoyed with this cat. he said to trap it or take down some road to get rid of it. i am not cruel like that and it makes me mad that he is. i really feel like i should help this cat. i really don't want anything to happen to this cat. i don't why i feel like that. i have had many cats in my life, feral and domesticated but i feel drawn to this animal for some reason.

what would you do? would you just let it wander around or is there a way to keep it safe and comfortable ouside without spending a fortune? even though i don't really know this animal i do not want anything to happen to it. i have a garage but i don't know how that would be for the cat. all i know is that i definitely want to help it regardless...

I am becomming increasingly irritated by people who refuse to alter their pets. These are the same morons who generally post questions asking if their ***** is pregnant. What is the arguement against spaying/neutering, besides breeding? Why do some people refuse to alter their dogs? I simply do not understand this.

I bet if you ask the dogs they would rather fight for their life rather than be killed by gas!

I was shocked at a farm i visited, i was looking to buy a horse and found a couple farms will not have a horse in "condition" and an owner told me she doesn't like a Healthy looking horse, they tend to misbehave. Is there any nice looking, manageable horses out there, that have that sweeting loving personality that is "fit as a horse?"

My neighbors found this cute little kitten and I went to go hold it. The next day they took it to the doctor to get it checked out and they said it had a lung disease and could have rabies. Then i just remembered that the other day when i held this cat I held my cat right after and didnt wash my hands. This morning my cat wasnt acting quite normal and it was two days ago that this happened. What are the signs of my cat being sick? she seemed kind of lazy today and he eyes are a bit droopy. please help
