Dogs - October 2007

okay so today i started going back to school after a long leave of absence. so after school i went straight home because my mom had texted message me telling me that she put the puppy out because my sister and her baby was over. (mater is a biter) and i always walk my puppy about 10pm and it was 10:15 so as i was pulling up at my house i notice that my back yard gate was wide OPEN!! at first i was worried that he might have ran away... but then i thought that maybe my mom went walking with him... so i open the living room door and i see my mom and everyone watching tv! i asked her where Mater (puppy) was and she said she didnt know!! that he should be outside. so i start yelling (not directly ay my mom) telling my mom that the gate is open and i started to freak out!!

then i go look at my back yard and NOTHING!!! i didnt see him!!

so as i am running towards the open gate i see MATER!! he was laying down right by ther open gate!? huh?!

WHY DIDNT HE LEAVE??

I was wondering how much it costs to have a dog neutered at your base veterinarian? We just got a new puppy and I am debating whether or not to take him to the vet on base. Thanks!

Is it fair for my husband to make me get rid of my dog just because he refuses to get along with him? I think he refuses to get along with him because I got the dog with out telling him and it is just a way to control me. I've had this dog for 5 months and we are very attached to each other. Yes, he growls at my husband when he come near me but my husband antagonizes him and Rocco knows my husband doesnt like him. My husband usually works out of town and hasnt spent much time with the dog. He is home semi-permanently now due to an injury and I'm pregnant. So I feel obligated to end the constant bickering which is affecting my and the babies health by getting rid of the dog.
But, is it fair of him to ask for that?

I have tried several times to get them to eat. I moisten puppy chow and mash it up with broth from the food. And they won't eat it. I have tried separating them from the mom for awhile still they don't want to eat. This is the mom's first litter and she is very protected of them and doesn't want to leave them for very long. I don't know what else I can do to get them to eat. The puppies have already been sold. And I wanted to know if this is normal that they don't want to eat yet. The last litter my other female had; the puppies were eating at 4 and 5 weeks of age and the new owners came and got them when they were 6 weeks old. But these puppies are totally different. They just don't want to eat the food. Any help on how to get them to eat will be greatly appreciated. I breed dogs and the new owners are really anxious and want to get their puppies as soon as possible. Again thanks to everyone who answers this question!

Ok, so a couple days ago, I came home and there were the remains of a squirrel's tail in my yard. I just hoped that the dog got the tail, only. This afternoon I hear her going crazy in the back yard (the dog next door, too). I go out and see a young squirrel cornered, before I can catch the dog the squirrel tries to make a run for it to the gate. Poor thing didn't make it and the dog killed it quickly. I had to chase the dog for half an hour before I could get her to drop it so I could dispose of it.
I don't want to even think about the tail from the other day...
She's a sweet, friendly dog to humans, a mixed breed, but looks like a country "huntin' hound". Any ideas on how to save the other stupid squirrels (other than keeping the dog locked up)?

My puppy is about 4.5 months old and she is an outside dog, but not will keep her inside at night because its cold and wet. When we brought her home she was about 8 weeks and we kept her in the house for about 3 days and then afterwards we put her outside as a guard dog. I am planning to keep the puppy inside more often now just not night. how can house train her. I dont need to potty train her cause i will usually make a schedule and take her outside when its time. If that does not work i can train her. How can i train her to behave and not be hyper at home? I want her to just feel relax and chill with my family.

The breeder who sold him to me surprised me and gave him to me too early ( I think). Anyway, since he is so young...how many times a day am I supposed to feed him? Also, he sleeps 23 hours a day...is that normal? He actually will be 5 weeks old this coming Friday Oct 5th... Another question, his legs are not strong at all...is that normal also?

Were thinking maybe a chocolate?

And nothing obvoius such as Hersey.

The 10 points will not go to anyone who throws a list of 20 names they are just thinking up as they type.

It would help if you owned one or would like to and could share the names you thought about for yourself.

When the vet spayed her they said she only had 1 ovary and the one she had was underdeveloped..they cut her open farther to make sure her other organs were functioning properly and they were. I took her back this friday to see what was going on, and they took blood work which I'm waiting to get back. Is it possible that her missing ovary partially grew, or they left her uterus or another part of her reproductive organs inside her? I'm just p****d that I have to deal with her in heat, and that she has to go through a "exploratory surgery" if the results show the vets screwed up!

Hey all this is Zazy's friend ( we share this acount becouse my parents won't let me have my own). If you rember i asked a question a couple of days ago about what kind of supplies & food i should get for a two month old black lab my parents were adopting for my birthday present. Well guss what!? The shelter i was supposed to be getting my dog from won't let me have her becouse of a really stupid reason.. guss what the reason is? It's becouse my parents are renting the house we live in & we don't own it. The shelter told us that they only let people adopt who own houses since they think they have more money & thus can take car of that animal better! WTF? Just becouse we may not be rich does not mean that we won't be good pet owners! Im so mad i had already fallen in love with that puppy & i'm devasted that i can't adopt her. Anywho my question is: is that shelter alowed to do that? If not how can we get them into truble?

I really really do not understand why there are so many people on here letting their animals suffer, asking complete strangers what to do about their dogs. There are people who go to school to learn about animals. They are called VETS!!!
Look it up.
