Im going out of town for two weeks and my husband has to feed the cat. The problem is he cant stand the smell of the wet food so I need to get some dry food. Whats a good brand for my cat to eat since she is used to the wet food?

My cat got loose a week ago and we finally caught him. He had a massive amount of fleas on him. They were ringed densely around his eyes. There had to be in the range of 100 to 200 just around his eyes, it was disturbing! They are really dug into the skin. I gave him a bath but they didn't come off and I can't tell if they died or not. I tried my best to wash him but it was hard to handle him and not get soap in his eyes.

What should I do and will these fleas come off or what?

I'm zipping around the house cleaning, doing laundry etc,etc. My cats are following me all over.(They do this a lot, they're clingy sometimes) Then while I'm in the kitchen at the sink, I turn around and my boy kittie is sitting on the island counter staring at me. He goes "MEOW"!! real loud. I know what he wants. So I go up to him, I cup his sweet face in my hands, we're eye to eye about an inch from each other. And I say "Sorry son, no wet food today". (he gets it only once a week) He wiggles away from me yells MEOW! again. Then jumps off the counter, bites my ankle (not hard) and runs to the bedroom under the bed!! I haven't seen him for about an hour now! Ha!! And to think some people think cats are dumb!! I swear mine understand human english!!!

I fostered a yellow lab for a friend while he and my husband was deployed. He was 4 months when we got him and I potty trained him and he was fantastic around my children. Needless to say we had to give him back when my husband's friend returned. I had growned attach to him and I loved him dearly. My husband saw that I was sad and he got me an early christmas present, a 8 week old golden retriever. A friend of mines says that was a big mistake with me having a 11 mos old baby. my husband says that he and my baby will get used to being around eachother with proper training. I have already grown to adore our new puppy, and he wasnt cheap either - i dont want to lose him but now i am afraid. did i make a mistake?

I was wondering b/c their dog (pit bull) had jumped my fence while the gas man was there today and it scared the crap out of him. I keep my fence chain locked and luckily I was there to unlock it and get the neighbor. I also have a pit and she's not at this residence at this time. If her dog jumped my fence and the dogs fought I would be PISSED and would want to take her to court! Would she be liable in either of these circumstances? BTW I own my property and she rents.

Hell, I have a 30 gallon brackish water set up. I have a violet goby who is doing great, and 2 small glass fish(don't worry, they aren't the painted type) I want to get a figure 8 puffer, but am wondering how well they would do. I have done a bunch of research and realize that it depends on a lot of different factors. But I am wondering about personal experience. If anyone has kept these types of fish together I would love your input. Thanks!

There has been a marked increase in crime in the Poconos including home invasions. So we are considering one or two guard dogs for our home. We have three children in our country house 11, 9, and 6. Two acres of wooded property.

We are considering Doberman Pinscher, German Shepard, or a Rottweiler breed. We are open to opinions on other breeds. Anyone care to opine or give advice as to breed? Whether we should pay extra and get a dog already trained in obedience and guard dog training? Etc. Also opinions and advice welcomed.

Ok we're due to collect our new kittens in a few weeks and we're looking for names. They are brother and sister. The girl is a blacky tabby and the boy is cream.
I like the idea of calling animals human names, this is easy with a boy but difficult with girls names.
Please reply with your suggestions, thanks.

Remember she is still a baby.

The vet won't acknowledge any problems and keeps saying he'll be fine, but the dog was not like this before surgery. My mother is besides herself for having the surgery done and is completely stressed out.

Ok, this is going to sound silly. I adopted my puppy a week ago and this morning I had to leave him alone in the house. He is in the kitchen, behind a gate, so he has plenty of room. But I am so sad to have left him! He was crying and looking at me with those sad little puppy eyes. He is only going to be left alone for about 4 or 5 hours, and he has his bed, toys, food and water but it is the first time he has been left alone. Will he be so sad the whole time? I'm such a wimp!

my partner's ex wife gave away his dog days after he left the family home. He was due to come round and get the dog, but she rang him and said it had run away. He spent 2 weeks looking for the dog before she told him she had actually given it away and she wasn't going to tell him who to. We think she probably sold it as it was a great pedigree although it was neutered. All we know is that it was another mum she met through the school and that this mum has now moved to sheffield. None of their mutual friends know anything more thanthis, not even the woman's name.
Is there any way we can find the dog and offer some money to it's new owner to get it back? Are there any websites or similar? Any other advice on how to handle the situation appreciated. My partner and the kids are still devasated about the loss of the dog a year on.
