I have a six year old daughter and I am wanting her to do some volunteering of some kind...Most likely with animals because she always wanting another animal. We have two cats and she does minimal work for them she will feed them but she keeps wanting more and more animals...I want her to understand that animals deserve respect and take allot of money and time to care for... I have been researching different places, zoo, rescue shelters the humane society but most of the places require you to be at least 16 yrs old...I planned on doing this with her too so there would be a legal gardian present and it would be fun to do it together...I was hoping we could help with kennel cleaning and other things similar..


Any ideas??

s(he) is very cute, but small. I can't really tell if its a boy or a girl, cause its so small. It seems to be doing well and I would peg it at the 4 week mark in ability, but in size 3 weeks would be pushing it. Here is my dilema...should I be feeding it kitten milk substitute and kitten food? It will eat dry food whenever it is available, but I don't know if s(he) is ready. Its really happy and playful, so I would assume its doing well. Also, I have never had and orange cat, what should I name it? I don't want anything too common though. My 2 year old cat Phoebe is taking it all fairly well, she just won't go anywhere near it without hissing. This will pass right? Oh yes, I can't take it to the vet till Tues. cause it is thanksgiving here in canada, and everything is closed.

I just got a kitten. She's about 1 month old. I need all the kittten advise I can get. For starters how do I teach her to use her litter box. I would think it's going to be hard since we live in a two story apt. and her litter box is down stairs. She's to little to walk down the stairs. And can I take her a small bath with "Hartz 3 in 1 Foaming shampoo for Kittens" (it's for fleas).

We recently got a female adult boston terrier. she has been through a lot in the past four months but since we've had her she has not eliminated or passed any bowels for the three days and counting that she's been home with us. I am concerned that she may get sick if she doesn't go soon! Any tips on adult dogs who are adjusting to new environments? We take her out every so often and just wait outside but she just stares back at us. please help!

She has to be watched with kids, because she isnt to happy when they are around. (these are older kids 8+ and no they are not mean to her) She also hates other dogs, even though she lived with their other dog for the first 9 months of her life until it passed away.... she never realy like her either.

What could this mean do you think?

Am I just over impaitent with the letting me know thing and is it normal for her to have to pee so much. She is great pup and does good I just need some assurance from others I guess who have been through it.

I have wanted to ask this for a while but just never got around to it. My staffy *chevrolet* really likes soft objects to sleep on-- occasionally while he is sleeping especially if he is really warm or cuddling with one of us-- which makes it bad-he pees-- completely sleeps through it and everything. Its not really a big deal because I know he doesnt do it on purpose the vet said he checked out fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know what causes it?

also the vet said he was fine?
its definately not a bladder infection that was the first thing we asked about- he has been doing this since he was a pup-- only every blue moon though like when he gets to nap with me on the bed under covers or one time he fell asleep on the recliner with his dad-- not a normal thing

i previously asked this question but unfortunately no real answers were given-- anyone??
