I have a 3 yr old golden retriever named Honey. I'm the one who basically takes the most care of her, I play with her, feed her, take her for walks, train her, etc. and she's always been good to me. However lately, when I bring her in the house, if I get within a foot of her she'll growl and/or show all her teeth at me! She looks like a wolf! I don't understand WHY she is doing this to ME! She spends the majority of her days outside and she NEVER does it to me out there, but when she's inside she does it! It used to be that she'd only do it when she'd be chewing on a bone and I'd go to pet her, which is reasonable I guess, but today more than ever I noticed that she just did it whenever I tried to pet her! I mean I NEVER hit her or mistreated her, and neither has anyone in my family! She doesn't do it to my parents, she sometimes does it to my sister, but it's ME that she does it the most to. Anyone have a clue why? How can I get her to stop? I don't want her to bite me or something!

i have a 4 1/2 month old chiuhua .. he is so sick and want eat, he drinks some. but not as much as he normally would. i took him to the vet and they gave him some amoxi drops, for me to give him for 7 days, twice daily. its not helpin and he's still not eating. he is nothing but bones now, because he want eat. what can i do to make him eat. there's no point of me takin him to the doc. because they will say the same thing, and tell me to continue giving him his amoxi drops. i have checked his poo poo ( sorry tmi ) and there is no blood in it. and he's not throwing up, he just want eat, and when he does its like a bite of something and thats all. what do i do? and what could be wrong? this puppy completely has my heart and i dont want to loose him. what is some ways i can boost his energy up to make him move around, instead of sleeping all day?? .. something please!!!

How come people suggest a dog breed if you don't even know the person asking the question?
How do you know what kind of dog the asker would like if you don't even know them?
How can you tell a complete stranger what kind of dog to get?
You don't know them or their lifestyle or what they would want in a dog so why suggest to someone a dog breed when you don't know them?

I have seen people suggest pom-a-shedders when people ask for a non-shedding dogs. I don't understand why people would suggest pomeranians when they shed a lot actually.

Like I said how can anyone suggest to someone a dog breed when you don't even know the person asking the question.

The best answer to give would be: Do research on the breed that best fits you, research energy level, size, exercise requirements, how much the dog sheds, grooming requirements..ect. Take some time and read online and get library books about akc's different breeds and see which ones interest you and fit your wants in a dog best

Should I worry about my 10 year old dog? (her Birthday is on December 1st) My other dog, which was her best friend, died last July. I love her very much. Her name is Molly. She acts really active and healthy, but I'm a BIG worrier. Like if she doesn't eat very much one day, I worry to death about her. Help!

Hey guys,
I'm considering fostering a dog for a local rescue (I haven't decided which one yet, but am looking into the CT Humane Society and Hot Water Rescue (hotwaterrescue.com). I know this is something I want to do, but it is a long time coming. I'm in the middle of learning to train my own dog (a 3 1/2 year old rescued Border Collie) but really want to put these skills to greater use once I have them down!

Really, the first step here is to convince my parents to allow me to do this, but I think it will be an easy sell once I've got everything down with the BC. What I'm really looking for is some personal experience stories from other fosters. Please share any and all information!

Thanks in advance!

i have a 7 week old male kitten and a 1yr old female cat
well sometimes she will tackle him, ive seen her tackle him once and they both rolled three times. ok well, sometimes she will tackle him and other times she will play with him.
when she tackles him is she really mad at him, hes usually not doing anything to bother her, normally just playing by his self. and her ears arent back or anything and she isnt growling
she just wags her tail very quickly

well here a video of them playing

Today I hugged my dog and my neck happened to be pressed against his flea collar. I already wiped my neck with a wet paper towel twice. Is this enough or do I have to rinse my neck for 15-20 minutes? Or should I hose my neck down? I need to know if I'll be alright.

I have never left my dog alone in the house while I travel for business. Usually my mom takes care of my golden while I am away. That is no longer possilbe. I have boarded him in the past but someone suggested that I let him stay in his own house and get a dog sitter to come several times,feed him, walk him...etc. So I am going to do that. Now with the trip coming up, I am not sure I know if this is the best idea (he is very good in the house) and I don't know how to prepare. Goldens are so people oriented, I am worried that he will get depressed or crazy while we are gone. The pet sitter is on the same street as me so they could come and see or walk him as much as I want to pay for. Please advise about this whole thing....Thanks, many!!!
Oh...need answers quick....

My puppy wil be one year old in January but we are still confused with how much to feed him. Everyone says that he is putting on too much weight. He is a maltese x shitzu and gets fed about 1 1/2 of dry biscuits for breaky and then either more biscuits for dinner or dog meat etc. Are we feeding him too much??? How much should i be feeding him?

when my boyfriend takes the dogs away for the weekend I am left alone. At night I can't sleep well because the dogs are not there.

I know if somebody breaks in the dogs will chase them away but when doggies are gone I feel insecure. Does anybody else feel this way?

We just got a sun conure on the 12th of november, 07, and she's very loving and loves to be held. She loves to chew. The thing is, I haven't really seen her eat any of her pellets. I'm worried we made the mistake of giving her some millet when she came home. She only wants to eat millet. When the branch was gone I took it out and she tried for 15 minutes to get the seeds out from underneath the bars of the bottom of her cage. She's very picky! She won't eat treats, her pellets (she was already on a pellet diet), bananas, apples, or anything else. She took a few nibbles at some corn bread, but other than that I'm just worried she's obsessing over millet. She won't sleep in her hut at night. I'm thinking maybe she won't eat her pellets because they're a different shape than the ones she's used to. These ones are more of a football shaped, but it's all Zupreme (sp?). Also, she acts like she's still a baby. She is only around 4-5 months, the pet store owner had (continued)

I have a 1 year old Bichon Frise and I am having trouble with her. She goes to the bathroom on the carpets while were sleeping , So we can't catch her doing it. We try to let her outside but she barely goes the the bathroom out there. We can't crate train her because if she is put in a crate she starts crying and screaming until we let her out. PLEASE HELP! We just want her to learn to go to the bathroom outside and not in the house.
