Pets - 14 December 2007

This is our first time hiring a dog walker and we're not sure what to pay. The person we picked is 15, and is walking 2 dogs before she goes to school in the morning. It's her first job. I don't want to pay too much...or too little. I have no idea! We were thinking $10/hr, but they only need a half hour walk, so that would be $5 a day, 5 days a week...comes out to $100 a month. Is that worth it to a 15 year old?

Yuki, my 6 months old female dog, was spayed today. I did everything I could think of to make sure that she's comfortable. But, I not sure what I missed!

Please tell me the DOs and DON'Ts for nursing Yuki back to health from surgery.

I was just curious how many shelters are actually still euthanizing animals on a regualr basis.... I know every shelter has to put an animal down from time to time due to health issues or bad temperaments... but I mean the actual shelters that give the dogs 2 weeks and then they are put to sleep.
these are the places people should be adopting from...usually they will turn purebreds over to their breed club rescue for no charge....

We all know cats are vicious little critter when they want to be. Do their owners also pick up those traits? Here's a test for you cat-people. What's your weapon of choice when cornered? Nails in the eyes or fist in the mush?
