My cats love to unroll my toilet paper from the roll- are there any products out there to keep them from doing that? Thanks!

I rinsed them really well, but I can't get the bleach smell out. Are they safe to put back in the aquarium? I even rinsed them in non-chlorine water.

In a dog that has a pink or black roof of his mouth?

Some dumb guy said that if a dog's roof of the mouth is pink, he's an idiot or stupid.

bird # 1 is standing in the bird feeder.
bird #2 is standing next to the bird feeder, on a post of equal height.

bird #1 gets some food in it's mouth, flies over to bird #2.
bird #1 regurgitates food into bird #2's mouth.

(process repeats).

my question is: What are they doing?

My grandma has a very green fish pond, with 3 fish in it, she wants to give the fish to me, but we can't see them to get them out

Is there anything that I most likely have at home that will attract the fish to the top of the water so I can get them

She is giving me them because she doesn't want to deal with keeping the pond clean

Are Severums supposed to do that? I have been feeding them. They are in a tank away from their parents. Any suggestions on how to save a few of them before I end up with one big fat fish? Thanks

Well, my female Shih Tzu, Poochie, is in heat, and I left her loose with one of my male Shih Tzu pups, Sammie for the past week. My daughters told me that they mated at least 5 or 6 times. So, how many puppies will I have?

If I have done my adding right, the puppies should be born in late November, so they would be about 5 weeks old on Christmas! Can I sell them then? And, do you charge extra if they are ready for Christmas?

What do you think?

Hi, I have a cat who's turning 3 years old now and but it never sleeps with me as often as it does with my sister.I'm the one who feeds it everyday and play with him and clean his crap(not too often though..).Is it because he doesn't like my bed?Or maybe because I move around too much when I sleep?What can I do to make him sleep with me at least ONCE?

So, since my dogs (maltese) mated a bunch of times when she was in heat I'm guessing that she is pregnant and want to treat her as if she is. If she's pregnant she would be between 7 & 15 days along (see my other post on dates). Problem is, I've read conflicting information on nutrition for a pregnant *****, I would like to get your advice and experiences on these things so that I can make sure my girl is getting all that she needs. I would like to know, in your experience and knowledge, what things are good, bad, and unnessasary. If you have a clear cut nutrition plan which you used and worked out great for you that I could follow, I would greatly appreciat that also.
First off, I switched her food from Innova Evo (because I couldnt find a puppy formula from Innova) to Wellness Super 5 Mix puppy formula (wet & dry because she wasnt wanting to eat for 1 1/2 days and I get worried about her not eating because she is small, 7 lbs, and when I mix wet food w/ dry she gets more interested and actually eats) I've been feeding her 1/4 cup dry mixed w/ 1/4 cup wet, twice a day, thats 1 cup total food per day(both wet and dry are the Wellness Super 5 mix puppy formula).
Next, I read to give them Nutri-Cal and Shark's liver oil twice a week while pregnant then 3 times a week after pups are born. I've been giving her Nutri-cal twice a week (an inch on my finger), but I cant find the shark oil in any stores so far.
Next, I read to give them about a tablespoon of cottage cheese every other day. This puzzles me because of the calcium, I also read that too much calcium is bad for them. So what's the deal with cottage cheese, benefit or risk???
Finally, a friend of mine said she gives her dogs a couple tablespoons of canned Makrel (fish, dont know if i spelled it right) 3 times a week. I've never heard this before so I want to know what the benefits from this are, if any, or dangers, if any. Once again, all of your experiences and advice are much appreciated. I would like to come up with a great nutrition plan to give her the best she can get. Thanks again!

My 6 year old daughter was playing outside today, and was bitten on the ankle by a stray cat that was hiding under my car. It left 3 scrapes where the teeth broke the skin, but it did not draw blood. I immediately washed the bite, put neosporin on it, but when I went back out to capture the cat, it was gone. Animal control hasn't returned my call. The "nurse" at the pediatrican's office seemed totally unconcerned, but I'm a volunteer at the humane society, so I know all the nasty germs that can be passed on though a cat bite. She just said watch it and if it gets infected, call them. She said "Those rabies shots are so hard on the kids. I don't know if we'd even want to go there." Uh... once symptoms of rabies start, it's too late!

What else can I do? How concerned should I be? I'm at a loss here. I'm trying to stay calm and think like I do at the shelter where I volunteer, but the "mom" in me is starting to panic.

We'd love to get a large breed dog, but we're not sure how much room it needs to roam. I'll be honest and say I'm a little concerned about how much mess a large breed would make, too. Anybody have any experience with them?

Okay, How do people fing it okay to ban certain breeds of dogs because they are so called "Dangerous" but people can smoke in public areas and that's okay.

Hello...second hand smoke is way more dangerous than any breed of dog.

I just don't understand how we live in a world that is so messed up.

What are your thoughts?
