Dogs - December 2006

.....will go over to their beds, or some other place where they are about lie down, paw at it a few times, then walk around it in a tight circle two of three times, then lie down?

Know it's kind of a trivial, but I've noticed dogs doing it all my life, and these vestiges of primal and/or pack behavior interest me.

She is a cairn terrier. She is 12 weeks old. I took her outside today and I believe she ate some grass. Now she won't stop dry heaving. Sometimes she gets up a very small amount of clowdy grey liquid, but only about 10% of the time. Is there something I can giver her for her tummy ache? Or something for her vominting?

I DID take her to the vet, the medication is not working.
My 4 mo. pit bull puppy has a cold. She is very congested, sneezing and hacking and such. It has been this way for some time now...well, with finances the way that they are (nothing to do with christmas, just so no one says "take some christmas money and take her back to the vet" there is no money) I can however afford to go to the store and buy cold medication (just not a $45 vet bill and medication on top of that)
Can I give my puppy diluted or maybe even just a small dose of "people" cold medication? I feel really bad for her and want to do something that will work...there is no pet store here in my town....nearest one is 50 miles away, and no $ for gas.
Please help me!

It is! And when I tried to give it a bath, it went CRAZY and tried biting me! I don't know what to do, it's SO dirty and it had no collar and it's really skinny and I dont think what I should do with it is turn it in, it's too cute. But it's drooling and spitting out bubbles, do you think it ate something bad for it? He's freaking out and keeps trying to bite me, waht do I do?

Why do dogs eat grass sometimes? Is it because they're sick and they eat it to throw up? or is grass a medicine for them and it "cures" whatever they have. I dont remember which one was correct.

During the summer, I mow my neighbors lawn, and I always buy my dog's dogfood in that time. However, during this season, my parents always end up feeding my dog. It doesn't seem fair. There is no snow to shovel, so that is not an option, but I need ideas for making enough money to feed my dog on my own- my parents COULD pay, but it just seems wrong to me. I am old enough to take care of it myself...

I need something that does not require much time- even though I'm homeschooled, I still spend hours each day doing school. I have the same hours as school kids, so please think about that when answering.

Thank You in advance...

I have just recently agreed to take 2 Bloodhounds from a woman whose husband died. They are almost 2 years old and brothers so I couldn't seperate them. However I have never owned a Bloodhound and don't know too much about the breed(i have 2 basset hounds). If anyone has some general info on a Bloodhound it would be greatly appreciated.

My dog whom I have had for three months now has not barked once. She is with me almost all day and night, even goes to work with me and not a peep out of her. She is not a Basenji, and she has been to the vet a couple times since I adopted her from the shelter, and the vet says she is perfectly healthy except an ear infection we cleared up. I just understand why she is so quiet.
