For the past 3 nights, there's these two possums that hang out on top of a short brick wall between my house and my neighbor's. They seems to just sit there and my two dogs (Corgi and Siberian Husky) constantly try to get at it! One time it came down from the brick wall and my two dogs almost attacked it, but my brother was able to take away the dogs into the house. I called animal control and they told me that they couldn't do anything about it because they are protected by some kind of Wildlife regulation. They told me to trim down the tree (where the possums hang out) on my side of the brick wall, but I'm not so sure that's gonna work. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them without killing them? I'm so scared that my dogs will get hurt by one of them and I know my husky is the type of dog to attack a strange animal (he's attacked an injured cat before that crawled into the backyard once). I don't even leave food out overnight for my dogs so I don't see why they are there. Thanks.

She's charging what you would expect to pay for an AKC registered dog.

My dog was spayed 6-8 weeks ago. For some reason it never seemed to completely heal, but I wasn't too worried because she wasn't bothered by it; I thought she was just healing slowly. However, over the last couple of days it has started bothering her and looks like it is getting infected.
I called the place that spayed her, but they won't help because it has been so long. They said I can take her to a vet, but I don't have the money right now... is there anything I can do to help her? Is it okay to use neosporin or something similar?

Also, it seems like there is a tight knot or like something hard bulging under where she was stitched: is that normal? It has been like that since I got her back, but others with dogs have said it was fine.

My mother wants to send her dog to live with me for a while (I live in Denver, Mother in Chicago). I've done all the research through the airlines and it seems like it's not a big deal to ship a dog. However, I wanted to check with the Answers community. Have you ever had a bad experience shipping a dog? Any tips or any reason why I shouldn't have my dog shipped?

The dog is a 5 year old 50 pound basset hound in good shape (in case that makes a difference).

I have a 3 year old doberman pinscher, and she's really big, about 85 lbs. she's a very lovable dog but she's very hyper!
whenever people come over she jumps around and runs in circles. and now i have a baby and he's not crawling now, but in a few months he will be and i'm afraid that our dog might end up hurting our son accidentally by being so hyper. Even when my husband and I take her for walks she still comes home and runs around. And because we're in arizona and it's summer time, it's too hot to take her out to the park and let her run all of her energy out. any suggestions?

I have a miniture huskey that I got from a friend of mine a week ago. He is 2 and a half years old. At a couple of months old he had got worms, at 1 he was badly attacked and bitten by a cyote and almost died. A couple of months ago my friend left him in the care of his other friends who didn't take care of this poor guy, friends friend stepped on his paw and ended up breaking it. He got out of the cast about two weeks ago
He is traumatized. Even when my friend had him he wasn't ever given much love or taken care of. He was never taken for walks, bathed, pretty much anything.

This little guy is a sweetheart and it breaks my heart. He is afraid of people, he doesnt bark unless he sees another dog, he doesn't play with any toys, he runs away from most people, he doesn't whine, he won't eat in front of people, he didnt complain when i gave him a bath, he gets scared at the slightest noise.
The only time he gets happy is when I take him for walks. any idea on how to help him?

I live in a condo with my mother, and we are both looking for a dog. Since I go to college and my mother works, it has to be capable of being alone for a bit. After searching, we both took fond of the chow chow. Is this dog obedient? Aggressive? playful?

Hi I was wondering if a puggle is right for me (12) and my parents. I have a sister that is nine also. Here are some questions:

1. are they to hyper to handle?
2. when they are older is it hard to pick up?
3. do they let you pick them up without fussing around?
4. do they howl a lot?
Thank you so much. But I have 1 more thing for people that don't have puggles. They are real dogs look them up and you'll find it on google.

And if you have any pictures of them full grown please send them to me.

Thank you soooooo much for helping me <*3

So if two dogs mated one female, the puppies can actually have two fathers??

A friend of mine told me this who is also a breeder.

What if someone started mix breeding dogs and by the time they're done they'll have every single breed in that one dog?

What would it be like? One ugly mut?

My mum and dad always smoke in the house.. always! even in the summer, and we have a german shepard dog and his fur REEKS of the stuff! I feel sorry for him, because when i smell it.. its so bad i have to hold my breathe when walking past them. But the dog has a much better sence of smell, so it must be really bad for him! Iv'e told them time and time again to please take it else where or give up because its effecting all of us in so many ways that you wouldnt think of! and its really selfish of u!, and i get told to get lost, its there house they will do what they want, and if i dont like it i should move out! i mean.. they smoke the stuff everyday so they should be the experts on the damage right!?

How can this smoking effect the dog?
Will he get seriously ill?

and what things can i say to them to make them STOP
