I'm not sure I want those dogs as they are tremendous barkers, these are the main traits I'm looking for, Easy to train, doesn't shed too much, isn't too big, toy-small size preferable, not a barker, only requires a calm walk everyday, reserved around strangers. Please help me out! Results I've gotten from quizzes have been pretty much miniature dachshunds and corgi's but their both notorious barkers~!!!

My dog was the victim of an unprovoked attack by a notorious neighbourhood dog who was running loose - is there any product(s) legal in the UK that I could carry during walks to prevent a repeat occurance (this dog is meant to be kept tied up but the owners ignore all instructions to do so) luckily my dogs injuries are not as bad as they could have been due to her heavy coat offering protection, she sustained several scratches and two bad heamotomas (blood blisters) above her hips that will cause her pain for around 2 weeks until they clear had she fought back or been a short coated breed her injuries would have been far more serious possibly life threatening.

I now feel that it would be wise for me to carry a deterrant when our walks resume as the owners do not and will not tether the dog (or build a fence).

Any help or suggestions please.

Is it reasonable to ask my farrier if he could trim my mule laying down?

This is the same one I wrote about with the pinched shoulder nerve. The vet/chiro put him back in place, he was out badly and said he has no idea why he goes out like that with trimming jobs. There really wasn't anything he could recommend to do. He gave me some stretching exercises, but had no idea for trimming what could be done to prevent it.

I figure it will cost extra, but would it be out of line to ask my farrier to trim my mule laying down on the front or do you think thats impossible? I have no clue actually on this.

He lays down on command, so its not a problem getting him down.

If you have an idea for getting an trim job please let me know. So far there isn't anyone with a table to lay them down around here.

Hi!

We have 4 dogs. 2 basset hounds named Bubbles (mom) & Ashley (her daughter), a long-haired Chihuahua named Sugar, and a Mini Pinscher named Tyson.

But among them, I'm mostly attached to Ashley. :)

How about you? :D

I might get a puppy... a corgi. But I'm not sure if it would be ok or not for a puppy to be left alone at home from about 7am to 4pm every weekday. How old should a puppy be before being left home alone for that long? 3 months?

My neighbor gave me her 2 year old female cat. She had to move into an apartment and couldn't take the cat. She told me she had the cat spayed a year and a half ago. She also told me the cat is up to date on her shots. But the cat is in heat.

I'm sure I was lied to. Should I get her her shots when I get her spayed? If she lied to me about her being fixed, more than likely, she lied to me about her shots to.

I've heard several things about apple snails and wanted to get things straight:

1. Since it does take two snails to breed, are the males and females seperate or do they just exchange sperm?

2. If they are seperate, how do you tell the difference?

He has got the kids on his side too, I know I am the one who will end up cleaning up behind, feeding and walking the dog. He has enough money to care for the dog but just not the time. I dont want the dog, so why should I care for it?? I mean even if a dog ended up coming here and I didnt want it, I still wouldnt be cruel to it. I mean I would care for it if they were to irresponsible. But just becausse Im not ignorant enough to ignore it doesnt mean I want it. So how do I keep them from getting a dog that I am gonna be stuck with???

I have a little chi, and she has a heart problem. She is 12 years old in January. I know she is getting old, but she is coughing alot, and the meds help, but unless i give her the tusigon for sedation for relaxing, or lasik pills to relieve stress on her, she coughs all the time. Sometimes perpetually. She does seem at peace at times..not coughing just walking around. She eats really well...almost too good. She wags her tail when i get home, she just getting tired. I know i am the best judge of when, but while she is coughing alot, i do not believe she is suffering. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Maybe someone has been here....? If so, i would appreciate a response. Thank you all so much...

I have a 3 year old female Siamese named Perdita. She is an indoor cat and was fixed about 2 years ago. Lately she has been crying NON STOP! She has plenty of food/water. I play with her, love her, and pet her! I can not seem to make her happy. The weather has recently gotten cold, could that be it? She is due for her yearly check up, but not saying anything bad about vets, but it seems they like to just run lots of expensive test. Money is not an issue...I just don't like her going through all the test. What do you think ti could be?
