My stepdad hit her with the car. She's alright and he brought her home. How do we find the owner?
Any good Lost Dog sites to post dogs you find?
And what should I do meanwhile?
I'm taking good care of her now, but I want to get this girl home to her owners. poor baby.
any ideas?

My cat is a little over a year old, for a while now he eats constantly i mean all the time then he pukes it up and wants more food. He goes through a 3 lb bag of cat food in like 4 days. he eats every hour. everything else is normal his poop, he doesnt have worms and people keep assuring me hes okay but i cant handle this anymore. If i dont feed him when he wants he meows untill i do or he knocks his bowl around and gets into the dog food untill i do. Any one know what i should do or what could be wrong? or do i just have a fat spoiled cat?

I know some breeders do it so how is you force a pregnancy on a dog? My dog did it naturally, I am not sure I could force her.

She's usually not withdrawn, and very playful in the mornings. I'm really worried about her...?

Any thoughts?

the breeder that I got 2 of my kittens from just called and asked me for help. Now she's going to a serious medical illness right now and to top it off, her cats and kittens have serious upper respiratory infections. I have 5 healthy cats of my own and am VERY nervous about doing this. I know its risky. Would you do this? Have you been through this? What can I do to prevent my cats from getting sick?

Did I do the right thing in taking the two mice my cats caught last night? I’ve suspected that I’ve had mice in my house for a few weeks, so I’ve put out mouse traps, the enclosed ones. I haven’t caught anything; well last night my boys caught to ‘baby’ mice, they were pretty small mice. I honestly didn’t want them to kill the mice and mainly I didn’t want them to eat the mice. My house is really close to a corn field where they use pesticides and the previous owners of my house used rat/mouse poisoning heavily. So I have been extremely leery of letting my cats eat mice. Well I took the first mouse away and threw it outside, it was still alive, but you could tell it was hurting, so I assumed it would die and the second mouse I didn’t get to in time to ‘save’ it, the cats killed it. But I threw it out back into the field. I know mice carry disease and fleas and worms and potential poisoning, so was I right in intervening or should I have let the cats eat the mice?

My dog has A LOT of fleas and I've tried everything. Any flea prevention you put on their back doesn't work for her. I've tried K9 Advantix, Advantage, Hartz, and everything else. The vet said it just doesn't work with some dogs; Just like some antibiotics don't work with people. I've had my house sprayed and the yard sprayed. She does like to dig. Are there any old wives tales or home remedies for getting rid of fleas. I've wasted a lot of money trying to get rid of them and they won't go away.

i have two problems with my cat:

1) at night, he'll come out when i'm sleeping and scratch at the closet door, trying to get in (i don't want him to go into my closet). he'll even launch himself at the door and i'll wake up to a big thud. i've tried almost everything to get him to stop scratching because it's really annoying and loud; i've tried the no-scratch sprays (they don't do ANYTHING) and then i've tried clapping my hands really loudly to get him to go away from the door. how can i get him to stop?

2) my cat refuses to come out during the day. he hides in my box spring because there's a tear in the fabric, but ever since i cut the fabric off he's been really nervous and scared, as if he's afraid of the sunlight or something. he doesn't want to be petted or be close to people. but after about 7 pm, he's a nice, normal, friendly cat who always wants attention. what's wrong with him?

my cat's 4 1/2 years old and i've had him for about a month.

He eats plenty of crickets, about 20 per day, and he has licked at some of the squash baby food we gave him, but he won't have any thing to do with the greens we've been trying to feed him. We've tried mustard, callored, and dandilion greens. He took to bites of the dandilions and hasn't toched anything else since. We tried tiny pieces of grapes and lots of baby food varieties, but crickets are the only thing he will eat. We tried not feeding him for 1 whole day, and still nothing. We had to give him crickets after that, so he wouldn't go hungry. I tried wiggling it in front of him, putting it on a tupperware lid, and leaving bits of greens arond his cage, but he is very stubborn. What should we do?

It has been super windy here for the last few days and my dog is running mad around the house shooting off tiny lightnings every time she comes too close to a metal object. She is 10 lbs but has now fluffed out to be about 3 feet in diameter because of the static electricity.. The worst is when she sneaks up and shocks me... I tried dryer sheets and anti static strips, it just isn't helping... Should I just stick her to the wall? dog?

We are hopefully going to breed our Champion Bouvier des Flanders female when she goes in season the end of the year.
The most important thing I look for in a Bouvier is movement. If they don't gait well, to me is telling me that they aren't put together all that well.
I'm leaning towards the name Crescendo Bouviers but I want everyone's imput.

And for those of you who think they want to blast me for wanting to breed my girl. Dont waste your energy. I will only breed her to a stud who compliments her faults and has gone through all the health testing. This is not going to be a "back yard breeding"

My moms neighbors dog is mean, she barks at me everytime I try going to my moms house. I can handle it if she stays in front of her own house but she blocks me from entering my moms house. I would understand if she didnt know who I was but I visit my mom at least 3 to 4 times a week. She barks at anyone, not just me and my main concern are my kids and my nephews and nieces! Can I mase her if she's barking at me and I feel like she's about to attack? I saw that show "it's me or the dog" and she used this gadget that made a really loud noise when the dog tried to open the fridge...can i get one that i can carry in my purse and scare the dog away that way she learns not to bark at me when I have every right to visit my own mother?

I am 4.5 weeks pregant and have a kitten. He's an indoor cat. I am concerned about his kitty litter b/c I am usually the one who cleans it and have heard that its dangerous for pregnant woman due to the cats poo carrying a dangerous virus. I am wondering if this is common in mostly outdoor cats or if I should be nervous. Is it just through the cats poop that you can get the virus or is it from holding and kissing the cat too. My kitten is very snuggly and sleeps with us and I want to make sure that I am safe.

I was searching petfinder.com for adoptable dogs and I came across a toy poodle for adoption .I called the animal rescue , for the info on her. This is what they told me : She is a sweet little redhead purebred Toy Poodle who weighs in at about 5lbs. She's a pretty little thing and will be a great companion. She was a show dog but her breeder recently had an accident and can't take care of her dogs right now. Lucky for her she can become someone's best friend. She is up to date on vaccines and will be spayed and get her teeth cleaned before being placed.
Reputable breeders what would you have done if you had an accident and could no longer for your dogs? Was she a reputable breeder ,is her reason a valid one for bringing her dogs to a rescue?

In keeping with the Stray thread of the past few days http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApLWyAbJ0wZxnD2_Yp1w_Z7sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071021144734AA87Qlz

I thought I'd ask to think about this situation. Somehow, your dog is missing. It doesn't matter how it happened, or how unlikely that is to occur, he or she is gone and has been for who knows how long.

What do you do? Who do you call? Where do you start looking? How do you go about making sure your dog has the best chance of getting home?

This is a scary situation and I know it's probably happened to ALL of us at one time or another - for 5 minutes or maybe even longer.

No judgments, no wrong answers here. This is a complete brainstorming session to help EVERYONE who has or ever may lose their dog.

What do you do?

I know there's no such thing but this website always makes me laugh when I look at it. Is it just me or do these puppy pictures seem far from believable?
