Dogs - August 2006

I have a 3 month old shih-tsu, who is so cute, but i CAN"T potty train her.
I have tried limiting her water, and feed only at night, i have tried taking her out every 2 hours, then every hour, then every half hour.
I bought some of that stuff, that you spray in a spot, and it is supposed to tell them where to go.

Every time we take her out, we come in and she "goes" on my rug, or in a corner.
Someone please help me.... PLEASE.... I don't want to have to get rid of her.... but we are renting, and she is going to ruin the carpet. And she is driving me insaine.
OH I AM treating the accident spots with the special solution to remove the smell

I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!


Please serious answers only......

she hasn't really been herself. i had another dog but recently passed away a yr ago, from that time on its like she is falling apart, she has a bladder problem, she is constantly urinating on herself. I can tell that she get embarrass, cause she hides from me and from other. I had taken her to the vet and was told that she would need to be put down. but honestly, looking at her i dont see her in any pain. my ? is that what can i do to help my dog get better. and be 2 honest it is kinda difficult taking care of her. i'm constantly cleaning after her, when she has a lil accident. But i really dont mind, cause she's my companion.

I have this great dog I got from the pound and I don't know what he is. Even though he doesn't have papers it would be nice to tell people what I think he is.

We're giving up our 2 dogs for adoption. Can anyone recommend a good animal rescue/adoption shelter/center place with the longest staying time (time available for adoption until they have to be put to sleep)? We live in Modesto, CA so somewhere in central CA is ideal.

I don’t use the word “pet.” I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer “companion animal.” For one thing, we would NO LONGER ALLOW BREEDING.. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance — Ingrid Newkirk, PETA’s President, quoted in The Harper’s Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223. “
I coudl not belive this when I read it. This woman is nuts and so is PETA

She had her last puppy at 6:00 am she was in labor for about 24 hours, the puppy was also dead I took it away from her give her bath took her back in my room and we watched TV until 9:00 then we went to the vet, every thing is ok and aberrantly she wasn't trying to eat the puppies she was trying to make them cry.. The vet recommended that I should consider spaying her because she is not strong enough to have puppies… I will spay her in a few weeks meanwhile im keep her and the male apart.
She is looking for her puppies and crying for them im trying to play with her and we walked in the garden today but I don’t know how to make her stop crying for them any idea?

My 120 lb English Mastiff is in heat (bleeding). Although I bought a diaper for her, I am forced to wash it 2-3 times a day as it gets quite nasty. While washing / drying it, which can take an hour or two, I have been keeping her outside in our screened in patio. Due to the direction which the patio sits, it is never in direct sunlight, but we do live in Orlando, FL, where it is miserably hot now during the summer. Our patio does have fans which I've been keeping on high and I always make sure she has a large bowl of water while she is on the patio. I even add a few ice cubes to make sure the water stays cool. Please let me know if the conditions described above could potentially be at all dangerous for my dog.

My friend Nancy was going out of town last weekend and needed me to baby-sit her Chu wa wa. (forgive spelling). His name was Ernie. She left dog food and instructions at my apartment. Well Ernie was an annoying little dog- and one day I was trying to eat my half gallon of Edy's Strawberry Ice cream, and the dog kept jumping on my lap. So I hit it- and it yelped and fall over. I mean it was annoying me. I finally decided Ernie was hungry so I decided to feed him when I was done eating the ice cream. A half hour later Im done, but I realize I have nothing to eat- like I had no more food left and no money- my parents were out of town. So I decided to feed Ernie after I had eaten some of the dog food- because Im more important then a stupid dog. Three days went by and I had finally polished off the dog food- I did make sure to let Ernie get plenty of water and told myself Nancy would be back in time to feed him. But I found him dead the fourth day. I explained to Nancy and she's mad at me.
