Pets - 14 September 2007

I have been looking around for small dogs. I herd that Chihuahuas were really lovable but they are so expensive. Yorkies are more in my price range and I think they're just as cute. Dose any one know how they are as pets? How are the personalities? And how big do they get? I herd they don't get very big. Call me high mainnance but i want a dog I can carry around with me when I go shoppin :-)

She doesn't like you to go anywhere near her nose or mouth. Side of her head is ok to nuzzle, but you don't mess with the front. We have a hard time just getting the liquid down her throat (she's being treated for diarrhea and the other liquid is an antibiotic) but we have the pills to treat her for coccidia but I have no clue how to get her to swallow them. I tried to get her to eat some cheese, but all she did was lick it and not eat it. I'd hate to have to go buy those little pill holder treats when I only need 10. Any ideas?

Okay, my dog got spaded today (sep 14th) and she was shaking really bad when i went to go get my little girl! She didnt even act like she knew who i was. Right now she is laying down on my bed sleeping, and doing little twitches. She keeps making this little tiny weezing nose, and it is breaking my heart, i dont know if she is in pain or what? The vet gave me no medication's to give her if she was in pain. She threw up on the couch, and I just want to know if this is all normal. I know these are a lot of question but can someone please be patient and help me out, Thanks so much....PS- Dont fotget about the pain medicaton, what i can give her..

Now im regreting getting her fixed, b/c she is in pain and not acting like my normal girl!!!!!

We have had a 16 week old staffie for 3 days, he is the most placid and docile dog. However, our 4 year old is over excited and the pupp has started to get a little too playful with him for me. He jumps on his back and uses his mouth to tug at his clothes. I am a newbie to this and this sudden change in behaviour looked aggressive to me and has scared me. I sternly told the dog NO and removed him from my son, which worked no problem but I feel worried now. Any advice please

I've had my dear, little pomeranian/terrier dog for 14 years now...he is about 17 or so. He is so old and frail; he sleeps pretty much all day and has difficulty walking. When he has to poop, he cannot balance himself, so I have to hold him while he does so. He is weak and hardly weighs anything..
He does, however, eat his food and drink water. He has the energy to growl sometimes when he's annoyed, and when he gets happy to see someone, it shows. He still gets a little excited when he sees one of us eating something. But I see him getting weaker and weaker as a result of his old age. His muscles are very weak and he has little energy.
I do not know if I should put him to sleep at this point, since he does eat pretty normally, and sometimes shows signs of being a bit alert....although we see him getting so old and frail. I'm confused at this point, thinking that, A) I should wait till he is ill or B) Is he really suffering, although he has no obvious health complications

We have a bulldog and have been finding all of these really great apartments w/ large decks for her but noone accepts a bulldog. They don't even give the opportunity to meet to check temperment. Is there another breed she can pass for?

Here are two images, one if of her and her mommy.

I have 3 dogs, a Miniature Schnauzer, and 2 Miniature Dachsunds. I'm interested in buying bark collars for them, but I've used the Ultrasonic collars and they were worthless. I was thinking about trying the Citronella ones, but was curious is anyone had any luck with them. Please help, our neighbor is mad because the pups bark sometimes when we're not home! Thanks!!

Can you breed 2 dogs with the same mother but different fathers?

2007-09-14 09:45:37 · 8 answers · asked by dunleavyblows 2 in Dogs

do you like riding English or Western? I love to to western because the ppl are a lot nicer. When you go somewhere that has English riding, they are so snobby, while when I go to a western barn they are so nice and willing to help out. I also like western because it is all about speed and fun and so laid back, while with English you have to sit up right and hold the reins right and everything. What do you like better?

My next door neighbor has a 2 year old pit bull.

When I go into my yard, the dog does not bark at me, my husband, nor my teenaged son. For some strange reason, the dog barks like crazy at my 3 year old daughter. (No my daughter has never poked at the dog or anything like that. She's never been in the yard unsupervised and is strictly instructed to stay back from the fence when we are outside).

When the dog would bark at my daughter, I would stomp my foot and say, "go away" and the dog would move away from the fence and sit down or something. Now, the dog doesn't back down and stands there barking it's head off.

I told my neighbor that I was concerned and she told me not to worry because the dog is just very playful and probably just wants to play with my daughter (ah...not going to happen). Not that it matters, but the neighbor is a police officer.

How would you handle the situation?
