mine has 2, a baby bat and a kitten. it is so cute because when we are away for a long time he will find them and bring them up onto our bed. he also does that with his favorite blanket. sometimes he only makes it 1/2 way to the bed because the blanket is kind of big.

I'm appalled by the number of Americans who actually think it isn't selfish to declaw their cats in order to protect their (dead) furniture. What is wrong with you people!!! Shame on you for considering such a barbaric practice

Felines are NOT objects to be physically altered to fit our lifestyle, that's a disgusting practice. Treat your felines with respect and accept them for who (that's right I said who, not it) they are.


This link will answer your questions about whether it's "ok" to have indoor cats declawed, I think you'll find that there are very good reasons not to do so.

Hi, I have a question i recently adopted a year old male german shepherd and both of his parents are police dogs. I forgot to ask the owners if he was ofa cert but i lost the number. If a dog was a police dog does it have to be AKC AND OFA HIP CERT in order to become a police dog. I do NOT plan on breeding him but i am concerned about hip problems as he grows older

My dog is AKC registered but I would really like to have her pedigree before her puppies are born in two weeks. What's the best way to get it fast?

I have two garter snakes (Logan and Marvin) and Logan is about 25-50% bigger than Marvin. Should I risk putting them together? Since Logan keeps escaping all the time, and Marvin's cage has a special cover so he can't get out. I just wanted to know your opinion. Thanks!

I had already paid for this puppy. I've been waiting for it since birth as me and my gf have wanted a puppy for so long. The mother was killed in an accident and the puppies are 5 weeks old. What should I do to properly nourish and socialize the puppy?

She was just at the vet this past week and got all her regular shots and tested negative for heartworm. The first few times she threw up it was apparent she has food in her, but after that it was just white foaming mucus. Dry heaving I suppose. What is going on? I called the vet and he said to see how she does tonight, and if she doesnt gocrazy, seizures or anything then to see how she is in the morning. If she is still throwing up then to bring her in. Any ideas?

Do you think fighting is in their blood or it's the owners fault if a pit bull becomes threatening? I'm one to think that if a dog has a nice home, then it'll turn out as a nice pet. But all things aside, with the reports out there...tell me you didn't feel the least bit nervous when you saw the pictures of the infants near the dogs.

Why is it ...
Why is it ok to shuttle your kids from house to house after a divorce? But when one of those kids wants to get a dog (with parent approval of course) we say "bad idea". That the dog would not adjust because of traveling with the child or because it would stay at one home and have seperation anxiety?? Since when do we care more about our dogs then our kids?
Why is it that tons of dogs seem to have happy healthy lives eventhough we don't have 5k set aside for the doggie emergency fun? Do those of us who love our dog find a way to deal?
And why is it that from this board it seems that no child should have a dog because someday they might go off to school? I don't get it.
I am all about responsible pet ownership but give me a break. Should we all quit our jobs and say home w/ the dog..or better yet ..hire nannies for them!
So maybe no woman should have a child unless she is capeable of being there 24/7 and already has all finances in order..for everything!! THOUGHTS??

My freind's dog has an upset stomach and she wanted to know if there's anything she can find at home or very cheap to buy at a store to help a dog's upset stomach. Or maybe some human medicine's that can help a dog, if there's any and/or safe.

I just got three new fish. There are all orange. Two are really small, one is a little bigger. One of the little ones has a black spot on it's tail and the big on has a dark orange spot on it's tail. They live with an african dwarf frog named Timmy. Timmy used to live with the goldfish Cosmo and Wanda, but they died.
So what should I name these three new fishies?

so i was out at this reptile zoo thing and asked the guy what kind of mite medication he uses. because my ball python has had a few mites for a couple weeks now. and i cant get rid of them. i have been using zoo-med mite off. and it seems like crap so far. anways, he said he uses a product called provent-a-mite. he says its illegal in canada and has to import it from the states. so i was just wondering if it was safe for my snake or not? does it actually work(and he said hed import a can for me for 50 bucks cdn) which is pretty pricey considering i payed 12.50 for the zoomed stuff.
it just seems kinda scary that it is illegal in canada..

should i buy it or no? has anyone ever used it?

Interesting topic that I came upon.

Do you think Ex-Fighting dogs can be "reformed" or "rehabilitated" and adopted out to regular homes or do you find it a lost cause and think for the dogs and the community, the dogs should be humanely euthanized?

We have been putting up with our neighbours dog for 12 months now. We have written non threatening letters, advising her of the situation and my husband introduced himself one day, during the course of the conversation he mentioned the dog. She immediately flew at thim with a barrage or foul launguage, got in her car and drove off. We do have a dog of our own that rarely barks, bout the only thing that gets him going is a thunder storm. Trouble is; We can't stand on our decking out back and talk as it hears us and just barks, if someone stops a car outside of our house it barks. It barks for everything and at everybody and can go for hours. Why can't people work with you to find a resoloution.... Why so defensive. What would you do.

If not.. HOw do I lower it.


I think I have room for Driftwood but I'd like to save it for a last resort. I also have distilled water available but I'm not sure how to use it. And I'm not looking forward to any Chemicals.

he sits and kinda looks over at the wall and the ceiling and loows back at us and meows

hes been doing this for a little while and ive been ignoring it

on that side of the basement he always sits in front of an open storage box full of home videos tapes and pictures

so earlier i put him in the box to see if thats what he wanted and when i took him out he was purring


could this mean something spiritual or what....?
