Why do you give Thumbs up or down? Also, I'm just curious, why do you report or do you report people? If not, why?

Can or will anyone HONESTLY answer these questions?

I'm not angry, more curious. I'll post follow up info because as we know, you aren't "allowed" to answer your own questions or YA will remove the question.

I just don't understand the logic- for instance in my Daily Dog Question. Why the thumbs down?

Help? Insight?

On Saturday ,I went to my local animal shelter to adopt a dog. I met all the dogs , & I find one I wanted to adopt. I took him outside &played with him and walked him. This is the dog , I had my heart set on . I filled out an application , talked to the volunteers at the shelter &said goodbye to the pup I thought I would be adopted. They called me back yesterday and told me I had been approved . I was so happy, Buddy was suppose to come home with me today.But Today I went to the shelter , I was filling out the paper work &I asked them how much was the adoption fee so I could write a check out. I was expecting to pay $50-250 , &they told me $700! I was amazed, first I didnt speak and then they saw my face .They asked whats the matter and I told them I was shocked at the high fee. They told me he would be adopted quickly since he is 7 months old purebred yorkie ,& if I wanted him I would have to decide by tomorrow morning. Now I dont know what to do . I mean whos going to pay $700 for

I take away his water bowl at 9pm. Took him for a walk at 11pm. He went to his bed at midnight and at 2am he whines to be let out. I let him out and realize that he's peed in his bed. I scolded him, then I change beddings and place him back in crate and tweny minutes later, i hear him peeing in crate again. What is wrong with this dog? He peed on the wall inside the house twice as well (he hasn't be neutered so how do I stop him from marking the wall?). He's six and half months old and we live in an apartment so we have pads for him in the bathroom, which he uses well when we're not home with him. Thanks. He's a boston terrier.

Previous lepto vaccines appeared to cause vaccine reactions. Fort Dodges 4 way vaccine has cleaned up the vaccine decreasing the chances of a reaction.
The smaller the dog the increase in a reaction with any vaccine. But there is treatment for it.
Lepto is a bacterial zoonotic disease that dogs can survive if they have been vaccinated.
Survival rate decreases without the vaccine.
I have seen 1 too many animals die from this horrendous disease. Its a shame because there is protection available.

The dog looks very wrinkled. I think it is usually gray or tan in color.

Do you have a name you call it?

The cats do this because at birth they had to pump their mommies to make the milk come out, so it's comforting to them. (Courtousy of Kimè)

What do you call this action when your cat(s) are doing it?

(I'll post my offical name for it when I pick best answer.)

I trained my two pits myself with the help of Ceasar Millan, but they only listen to me. If someone else tells my dog to do something, they will just stand there.

I live in Bangkok and my 4yr.old male cocker required emergency surgey to remove stones from his bladder. After the surgery the vet informed us he will have to eat Hill's c/d food for the rest of his life. Hill's is difficult to find here and the cost is outrageous. Any help or suggestions locating a recipe will be appreciated.

Shes had a work up and this pill worked at first, we laxed abit and now she is really incontinent. I am religiously doing 4x a day----but does this work for old dogs ? or are they bound for always dribbling. I hate to see this because she'll be outside and wants to be in part of the day with us. But I can't do it . How does it end up with old old dogs? I need to prepare myself for what the future has in store.

We were playing and it became loose and started bleeding. Do I have to get it pulled?, I want him to keep his canines. He was licking like crazy so I think its bothering him, although I don't think its painful? Is it alright if I just leave it and hope it heals?
