Dogs - January 2007

Mother in Law is in a tight spot and needs to come live with use for a few months. Problem is her dog urinate on the walls and is very dominate with other dogs.
Is it too much to ask for her to find somewhere else to put the dogs. Or an I obligated to take them as well?

Do you believe someone called another person a DYKE, because they said they went hunting???? I have hunted with my father before his death most of my life. I bagged many a bird and deer. Our whole family went hunting, fishing and camping. I've married had two natural children and two adopted. I've also have and ex husband and current boyfriend of six years. How rude and sexist can someone be to assume only men or women who are gay can participate in such sports. Also, yes there is a rivalry on here between the "know it alls, the know a little and the know nothings" but, we NEVER allow people to discriminate on race or sexual orientation. Shame on you !!!!!!

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been
dead for years.
He wondered where the road was leading them.After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it,he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk, to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
"May my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and
continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

"Excuse me!" he called to the man. "Do you have any water?"
"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in."
"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.
"There's a bowl next to the pump."

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.

The traveler filled the water-bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.

"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is Heaven," he answered.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope.That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you angry for them to use your name like that?"
"No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind."

I came home to find our 9 yr old mixed dog had attacked, tortured and killed Spencer, our 11 year old arthritic "gentle giant" who was 3 times bigger than the attack dog? The scene was the most horrible thing we have ever witnessed. These dogs are our babies and we had no idea this would ever happen!! Not only are we grieving and in shock but we are unable to get the image out of our minds of seeing how he suffered and eventually bled to death while we were at a neighbor's. What would cause a dog to attack his 'brother' like this??? (The attack did not stop with Spencer's death as there were huge clumps of his fur ripped out leaving open wounds that did not bleed.) Now in the midst of grieving for our precious baby we are also faced with what to do with the attack dog. We loved him for 9 years but are now unable to even look at him and can't stand the thought of what he has done completely unprovoked. any info or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Yhank you

I am blind in one eye and have glaucoma in the other. I have the CNIB coming next week as they are concerned for my safety. I have walked into a tree a door more than a couple of times and fell down the stairs a month ago. I have social phobia and the thought of having to use a long cane is really bothering me. Should I get a guide dog? I am very experinced in animals.

I walked into the tree because I look to the ground to see if anything is in my way.

I've looked all over the packet and there's no date or dose recommendation and I can't find the leaflet that comes with it...

I've rung up the vet and they say that a whole tablet is OK for a 2kg chihuahua.. however when I bought from them previously they recommended 1/2 a tablet for a 4kg chihuahua??

I am planning on buying some more on the internet (cheaper than vets) but not sure if it is worth stocking up on it or just buying as and when is necessary? Obviously don't want the tablets expiring if I store them.

I was hoping someone out there will be able to advise me..

thank you :)

Keep in mind that dogs are domesticated wild animals, and in the wild they would eat their entire prey, not just the meat, but also the organs and bones and stuff too. So what would be the best healthiest dog food?

My daughter is 12, and suffers from rhuematoid arthritis, and wants a puppy. She wants a TINY puppy she can keep with her at all times. I call them pocket puppies. She is very responsible, and would spoil this dog beyond belief, but I do not know how to find what I am looking for. We want one tiny....even as an adult, no bigger than a normal puppy. Not a thousand dollar dog either!!! As an adult, no bigger than 4 to 5 lbs. Any ideas?

Her adult fang is literally right next to her baby tooth and the gum is swollen right in that area. Will her baby tooth eventually fall out (hopefully soon) or do I need to take her to the vet to get it pulled?

I am looking at getting a boxer. My husband's family owns five boxers and all but one are males. It seems that the female boxer is much more calm, and loveable. The males are very affectionate also, but more energetic. The female is fairly young under two is this a female boxer trait or just an individual trait? She will play and run after a ball in the backyard, but seems more refined and has the run of the house while owner is at work and sleeps on the couch the whole time! Any boxer experiences would be great, and I know they are great with kids these are wonderful with my 19 m/o daughter.

I never knew raisins are bad for dogs! Who says and why??? I personally hate raisins, but whenever I eat trail mix I have always given my dogs the raisins. I have yet to notice any bad reaction. Have I just been lucky so far or what? Have a nice day!

I thought that if I got a couple of small dogs, they would keep themselves company, (pack style) while I was away. And if they were really little, they could even use a litter tray.
Why should owning dogs be the reserve of people who don't work, or have the luxury of working from home?

I have 2 Cocker Spaniels and they are always howling. It is not at any specific time. I have read that it could mean they are bored. I pet them, give them toys do everything I can to give them attention and they still do it. Once once starts the other one does it too!

My husband and I are planning on purchasing a Bullmastiff. We have 3 children, ages 3,4 & 13. We did a little research and what we read about this breed seems to be what we want in a dog. We had to give a Rottweiler to a rescue because of aggressive behavior towards us and the kids. I ordered him from a breeder from out of state and it was a big mistake. It was our second pup from him, the first pup died from parvo and this one was very aggressive. A lot of people tell us to get a Lab or Golden Retriever, but my husband has his heart set on a Bullmastiff. The information on them seems that they are a good dog with children, but then other people think we're crazy for wanting this kind of dog. I know any dog you really have to watch with children, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with aggression with these type of dogs?
