Yesterday a loose dog was racing around our area for an hour and a half, chasing the neighbor's dog up to the front porch, dodging in and out of traffic, running full tilt everywhere. I was out shoveling and she ran to me, past me into the back yard, back out again, down 2 blocks (pretty much flying), turned and raced back...........

I hadn't seen this dog in the area before, never seen this one being walked, when it ran to the highway I called her back. Fed her a hamburger and got a rope on her. Her back foot was bleeding from a cut on the ice, and she seemed pretty friendly, but no owner was out looking. I waited for half an hour and then got her into my car and took her over to animal control as a 'lost dog'. No collar on her, hopefully she was microchipped. Her toenails were nicely trimmed, but she was filthy and stunk.

What could be wrong?
I have a 2 year old Black Lab. Here recently he has killed TWO small house dogs. They weren't ours, they where our neighbors. He has attempted to bite people he doesn't know but he has never attempted to hurt another animal besides playing. His sister, who our friend owns isn't like this at all. He hasn't been "fixed" and he's a little late on his shots. And for some people out there my dog is fed good and where I am from you cannot sue someone for a reason like that. We have also talked it over with the neighbor's and they said that as long as we watched him that it would be fine. My dog doesn't stay tied up because he breaks all of his chains and I dont believe in making a dog live on a chain. Its wrong and I would rather have him taken to the pound before I would. So the QUESTION is: Is there something wrong with him?

I rubbed my dog today and he started snarling and trying to bite me, so i held him down and yelled at him until he stopped (he is very little). The entire time my mom is yelling at me "leave him alone, why are your torturing him, he just wants to sleep. Just walk away." Are you kidding me? This is exactly why he thinks it is ok to attack me. Any normal person would have done much worse than i did. I think my mom's response to my dog's behavior is total bullshit.

Hi,
I am fostering a kitten, who is 5 months old. She was 3 months old when someone traped her, and surrendered her to the shelter. Than an employee adopted her and has worked on tamming her. She is tammed, and loves to be held and will purr. But if she is not in a cage, its impossible to find her, she will hide all day long and all night, only coming out to eat and use the litter box, but she will only come out when you are not there. I have had her for 2 weeks now and I still can not let her have free run of the room. Is it too late for her to trust humans? Do you think I will ever be able to let her out of the cage and have free run, and than come out and see me?

I live alone in an apartment and am thinking about getting a cat. I've never had a cat before. What kinds of supplies would I need to get? How much should I expect to spend on these supplies?

We live in California and are in Utah for Christmas. We have been gone since the 21 and made sure our dog was well taken care of, indoors, comfortable, plenty of food and water, before leaving.
Originally we had scheduled a dog sitter, but they aren't returning our phone calls and my husband is literally freaking out, planning to get a flight home tomorrow (Christmas Day) becuase he's so worried about our dog.
Will she be allright for a few more days? We have left her before in the past for 2, then 3, and on one vacation, even almost 5 days, and she was completely fine.
I'm worried and don't know if we should arrange a flight home or not. We love our dog!

...until you prove you have spay/neutered the dog as per contract?

My BF and I have never bought a dog from a breeder before. We have the search narrowed down to two breeders, both require their pups to be altered, but one has said that papers will be given to us only after the dog is altered (the only breeder we look into to have this stipulation in fact, and we looked seriously at 6 kennels). We are trying to make a final choice of breeders since both have planned breedings in the next few months. I have been warned though by people not to buy from someone who holds the papers (may not really be reg'd), and wanted to know if it was normal when buying a pet quality puppy to hold them or not? Trying to make sure we don't get fooled after so much time and effort finding a great breeder for my BF's next dog. Just wondering if this is a normal practice and shows them to be a reputable breeder, or if it seems off to anyone?

My beagle just had puppies this morning. I put her & her puppies in a outdoor shed with a little portable heater.
But I wont be able to leave it on during the night. Will the difference make the puppies sick or anything?

we got a cat from some people a while ago. she had about 3 litters of kittens with them. they told us that she had been spayed . we also had one of her kittens. the kitten ran away about a month ago. now the mother cat is starting to act really weird and she keeps meowing nonstop especially when we pet her almost like she wants something or something is wrong. does anyone have any idea what if anything might be wrong with her.

ensured that before ANYONE could own a dog they had to undergo a basic education course that taught them about proper vet care, feeding, exercise, etc. for their dogs? Does anyone else get really depressed when reading some of the questions asked on YA? And also laws that made ANYONE who wants to breed their dog obtain a license. I know in CA they were working on something like that. But really. We need better laws to help shut down these back yard breeders and puppy mills!

what do YOU think it will take to really put a dent in the BYBs and PMs?

I have an 8 month old springer spaniel, and i know that that breed is naturally hyper, but she just won't listen. She is constently jumping up on the counters and trying to reach anything she can to chew up or eat. I have tried yelling "NO!" and clapping my hands, i have sprayed her with water (but she likes that), and i have even tried putting tape on the counters so when she would jump up it would stick to her paws, which didn't work (she liked that too, lol). She will usually get down when i yell at her but then she just goes and does it again. She also jumps up on people when they come over. How do i stop her from doing this??? please help i'm getting really fed up!!!
