Pets - 6 September 2007

I'm an animal lover and really like dogs. My girlfriend wants to get a dog, and I want a pitbull. Pitbulls are extremely intelligent and dedicated to their owner (if trained properly) She doesn't want a pitbull or a rotweiller. I dont want a rotweiller either, but I really think pitbulls are beautiful animals. She said she wouldn't mind a bulldog. I wouldn't want to get a dog that she didn't approve of, although she too is an animal lover, and I know if I brought home any dog, it would be cute and special. What should I do?

I want a tiny teacup yorkie puppy that I will be able to take EVERYWHERE.. I would like to see the puppy first and be able to pick it up in person, i do not want it to be shipped.. I would prefer a male puppy, and would like to know how big the parents are and about how big the puppy will grow to be. Thanks for all help!

Hi. I've been relying heavily on you, recently, Yahoo Answers. =) There are some really bright, informative users out there with knowledge hard to find anywhere else. Personal experience. =)

For quite some time I've been looking into getting a dog of my own. A very long time, really. I just can't settle on what breed to get. I have had a few picked out that I've extensively researched, but I am not going to mention them here so as not to sway what you suggest.

The size of the dog does matter. I do not like small dogs. None of them. Toy and small dogs are just annoying to me. It's not that I hate them, they just aren't my style. I have room for even the biggest breed, easily, and can handle even a very active dog. I love going for walks myself, and I'd love to sit at a park and throw the ball with a dog, but, I can also accept a lazy breed to just hang out with. I'd like to be able to throw the ball once in a while at least, though.

-More to come in added details. Long question! =(

so i have two questions...
1. he does this weird meowing thing....and walks around the house and he does it when he plays with the other cat. he's not hungry, thirsty, hurt etc... i'm just trying to figure out why he does this sound and what he is communicating.

2. he's about 5 years old and one of his ankles crack when he walks. he's not limping. he doesn't act like he's in pain whatsover. is there anything i can do to help his joints?

and please don't say that he's meowing b/c his ankle cracks . i know that, that is not that type of meow.

thanks

My normally lively and hungry kitten has within two days become thinner and is refusing food. All she does now is sleeps and has a very sickly look to her eyes and coat. I'm scared she may not make it through the night in order to get to a vet. Can this happen to kittens that are 8 weeks old?

My cat always tucks her paws underneath her all the time. And bends them all funky ways. Does anyone else's cat do that?

Just curious
Thanks!

My box turtle has 3 eggs in her. She laid one in her tank about 14 weeks ago and then I waited 3 weeks before taking her to the vet. Xrays showed 3 eggs and she was given oxytocin. Oxytocin has worked for her in the past (5 or 7 times). but after repeated trips back to the vet for more shots of oxytocin (up to the max allowed) she did not give up the eggs.
She did act like she wanted to. you know how they kind of do something that looks like Ti-chi (sp? ) when they want to lay an egg. the vet followed up with many phone calls and suggestions of how I might improve her habitat because he was certain that it was a husbandry issue. So I followed all of his advice including soaking in water, lots of direct sunlight in my back yard, in soft potting soil, increasing the temp in her tank to at least 90.... But no eggs yet. Should I take her back for more oxyticin? She'd always laid eggs indoors ( tank, closet, floor). I have had her for over 25 years.

Okay. Recently I posted a question as to what this thing was....

http://www.cryptomundo.com/wp-content/uploads/giant-turtle-001.jpg

But thanks to one of the people who tried to help me figure it out, now we have more pictures at this link:

http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/turtle-beaching/

I still don't believe this is a giant sea turtle nor a whale.

You can see a sort of reptile-ish face, almost prehistoric, as well as arm like things near its head and fins as legs in the back followed by a tail. The black stuff on it's back seems to quite possibly be scales, just like an alligator???

Any thoughts? Thanks!

my cat has fleas on his face, I used frontline, and it got rid of the fleas on the rest of his body, but they seemed to have migrated to his face. is there anything else i can do to help my poor kitty? aside from the obvious, taking him to a vet.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to dry my hair or vaccuum. My 9 month old akita/husky/lab mix will bark uncontrollably and try to attack the hair dryer, and or vaccuum. There is no way of even trying to say no. He also will not let me sweep or mop, he chases them and bites onto them. What is his reasoning behind this ? ?

I noticed this morning that my aquarium filter had these fuzzy white egg bunch looking things sucked up to it; they are very small. I have a fairly newly set up freshwater aquarium stocked with live plants and some neon tetras, zebra dannios, and guppies to cycle as well as some ghost shrimp and two platys. My boyfriend thinks its from the plants but I havent had much look looking into what this may be. Any clue as to what this is?

I lost my beautiful cat that I had for three years, she was spayed, and very well taken care of. I live in a rural area with lot's of woods. I have done everything to look for her, including using pet detectives and search dogs, running ads in the local papers and blanketing my area with posters. I have heard that people have lost cats that eventually come back to them, I just wanted others stories to read while I am feeling miserable.

Any time I try to get him to go into the washracks, if there is any mud he just refuses to follow me. It's so annoying.
