To places that have no dogs allowed signs?

The reason I ask is I work at a small but wonderful nature center. We do not allow dogs for a few reasons the biggest being we are funded and ran by the area's public school district as a field trip location which see's over 16,000 kids per school year. Some dogs are not so great with kids AND who wants to hike in someone's doggy mess? I have 6 dogs myself and went up to someone last year who decided to come visit with their golden retriever and let him know we are a no dogs allowed center and there is a dog park a few block away. He cursed me out!! Screaming and shouting how his dog wasnt hurting anything ect ect. All while I had 60 kids staring and wondering why he was being the way he was. I tried explaining our policy but he wouldnt hear it. I love taking my dogs places. Dog parks, nature walks ect but only when they are allowed. And we have 6 signs visible from the parking lot alone!!!! So, do you go area's that do not allow dogs?

I live in a dorm room with a roommate and we reciently got a kitten. She's about 6 weeks old and is very good, most of the time.

The problem is that cats, or animals in general except fish, are illegal in the dorm rooms and Kodi (that's her name) won't stop meowing.

Any ideas on how to keep her quiet/ how to hide her?

I wrote a question about this earlier and only recieved ugly comments and nasty hints about how terrible my roommate and I are and how we are mean, almost homicidal people who are torturing our cat in the middle of the night.

Truth: we both are experianced cat people and just need some advice about inside cats.

Please only answer this if you have constructive advice. Thankyou.

Would cats ever reproduce with their parents? This is a serious question. I've always wondered that. If cats do this, would dogs too?

I don't get why people have "outdoor dogs". Dogs are the happiest when they're with their family- not outside alone. I don't care if your dog is destructive you need to train it. I've had multiple dogs my entire life and they've all slept in bed with me, lived indoors, and had great happy lives. I feel like people who keep their dogs outside 24/7 are bad dog owners- even if they have a dog house. I don't believe in letting your dog live on the end of a chain either. I think chained dogs should be outlawed. I live in New England, South of Boston, and I have NEVER heard of an outdoor dog until I started helping out with rescues in Southern states (mainly Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, etc). Why is this? Why is acceptable for Southern states to have gassing shelters? Chained dogs? Outdoor dogs? It would NEVER be tolerated where I live...ever. Is it just the way people think about their pets in different regions...?

I used the flea and tick treatment Bio Spot today and it seems like it just makes it worse. My poor dog is itching all over and it won't stop. How long should I wate till I can apply a different flea treatment like frontline? My dog is a really small tea cup poodle and I don't want to overdose her.

Today, my friend brought her Pekingese and we played with it. I let her puppy lick and sniff my hand.
But I didn't wash my hands. After we played with the pup, my head itched and I scratched it like non-stop. And my thighs looked like they had chicken pox. (I didn't even scratch any part of my leg!!!
--
Q: Is it because I didn't wash my hands??? Is it the pup's fur? Can dog fleas be transported to humans?

He is CLEAN...you can go by him and put your face right in his fur and smell him and he smells like shampoo...nice and clean. But the moment he starts itching his ears he stinks SO bad and it stinks up the whole room? Does anyone know what it could be. I plan to call the vet but can't do so until Tuesday being as its holiday weekend.

Most of my dogs that I have had I got for free but free doesn't always mean free in the end.

The 2 dogs I have now is a Rottie mix named Dakota who I got from of a neighbor of a friend of my mom. I didn't pay anything to get her.

My other dog Duke is a Lab mix! He is a rescue dog. He was rewcued from a storm drain as a pup with his family with their mom. He was free too. I adopted him from where I used to work.

I've had cats all my life, and I've noticed that a lot of them like to lay on papers. Usually my school books, notes, or homework I have spread out in front of me. Also, newspapers and magazines. Anytime I spread out a newspaper to read, my cat lays right in the middle.

And one of my cats seems to get high off the smell of newsprint or something, because he'll go totally crazy when he gets around newspaper, trying to burrow under it, running across it and sliding across the room, wrestling it and tearing it--it literally makes him act crazy. You leave him in a room with a newspaper for five minutes, and you'll find it spread ALL over the room by the time you return.

So... Why do cats like to lay on homework?
And... Does newspaper make anyone else's cat go INSANE?

Asking simple and often "childish" questions here will never give you a proper broad picture of a "dog as species".
This board is ill equiped for dealing with MESSED up dogs.
Dogs whose "owners" never bothered to study their pals properly. Educate yourself and try to UNDERSTAND your dogs as complex animals.
