Some of these can be quite lenghty in the winter. especially in these parts. What on earth do we do with our 3 tropical fish tanks if this happens again? Keeping it warm and preventing the bacteria from dying in the filters?

I was just talking this over with Wolfgang, my cat, this morning. I'd say that since liberals--until the Bush administration drove large numbers of people further left--live in apartments and in cities, they tend to be cat owners.

Wolfgang's opinion is that dogs are great, snarly, smelly beasts. He was shocked to learn that people think they "own" them--or cats.

Having learned that, he's decided that since his Mum, Silver, is highly intelligent, and since he knows that intelligent people are liberal, most cat owners are liberal.

Not bad reasoning for a lowly animal, eh?

What do you think?

I've heard/read about so many people who say that dogs CANNOT and DO NOT feel guilty about their actions, or feel an impending scolding coming. For example, you come home and your dog who is usually happy to see you is huddled in a ball with those big sad eyes, then you turn the corner to your bedroom and see that he has destroyed a pillow or something.

Now, some people would say that he doesn't know what he did was wrong -- he is "merely picking up on your signals that you are mad".... but if I just came home, and am happy as usual to see him and don't even know about the pillow, how did he pick up on signals I didn't even give? His signals told me he did something wrong. It was just another day to me - I had no idea what he had done.

I don't understand it. I personally believe that dogs can feel guilty or know that an upcoming scolding is coming if they do something wrong. I welcome any and all comments otherwise. I think its very interesting! Thanks

I would like to buy a minature poodle but I've heard that they get meaner as they get older. Is this true?

My mom was getting the birds out to clean their cages and she noticed that one of the birds nails was bleeding. When she got closer she noticed that the birds entire nail was gone. Has anyone ever heard of this and know what we can do for it?

I had two female rats but now only have one as I lent the other one to someone with a male so they could spend some time together. The single one is running all over the cage and seems to be upset and unhappy. When I bring her friend back will things be OK. Will I have to separate them again if the other one is pregnant?

I am picking up a female chocolate lab puppy and am interested in some suggested names. Right now we are leaning toward Molly, Coco, and others. Let me know your thoughts.

I have a 13 week old labrador and he chews and eats everything. Somehow he got a female product and before I could get it out of his mouth, he swallowed it whole. It was stuck in his throat for a little bit, but I couldn't get a hold of it, because he was biting down. It's not stuck in his throat anymore. He's still drinking okay. I've already fed him for this morning, so I haven't tried that again. Will he pass it okay? Has your dog did this? I'm about to take him to the vet for his rabies shot, but I'm really too embarrassed to ask them. If you think it's something serious, I will.

Thanks in advance.

Hey people, I would like to ask your advice on something. There's this cat that keeps coming near my house door during the night or early dawn and stands outside and keeps meowing. This has already happened two days in a row. When I open the door, it stares right at me aggressively and keeps meowing! What does it want? Btw, sometimes another cat will appear along with it and according to my mother, the cats fought at times.

ok so i just moved and now my great prynese won't go poo out in the yard, When we take him out he just sniffs around and marks a bit and then will just stand there and look at us. He ends up holding it in for days untill he can't hold it any more and ends up having an accident in the house. I am getting so mad at him cause sometimes we just baerly come in and he poos in the house. He hasn't had an accident since he was potty trained and the is three years old. I have even noticed him eating less, which is probably due to the fact he is holding it all in...Before we moved we didn't have a yard so we had to walk him and then pick it up. So part of the reason we moved here was so that we would have a yard to just let him out in and we would only have to rake it once a week or so...so does any one have any clue what is going on and what do i do? My husband thinks we should go back to walking him to poo, but if we do that im afraid he will never learn to go in the back yard...

There was a question yesterday about designer dogs....ummm......where did it go? Did the poster take it off? Or did someone get offended by a little controversy? It seems like any question that has a good debate or some good controversy gets taken off. I don't get it.
