Do your pets have special behavior problems? How do you deal with those problems?

Yes, I have 2 small dogs.

Answer 1

Yup.. my pets (2 cats, 1 puppy, 1 snake and one rowdy boyfriend who often refers to me as "SleepPet") are all healthy. I am an animal lover, but not like the dress-my-dog-in-clothing animal lover. I love my pets, yes. They help my stress levels quite often.

I find myself talking to my pets as though they were .. well.. my 1 yr old son. When he's around, I'm always talking about what I'm doing, and asking him questions that he can respond to in his own way... " goo ga CAT lalalaLALALALA" ya know... baby talk. My animals do the same thing, only in their own language. When I talk to the cats, they get all lovey and meow at me as if they understand what I'm saying. The puppy responds in many ways, depending on my mood... high pitched barks to low grunts. It's all communication, even though none of us can really hold a true conversation! lol

We give all of our pets baths. The snake gets one every time she deficates. The dog gets one about every 3 days or so. The cats get half baths since cats HATE water. But we rub their fur with water whenever we can. My boyfriend bathes himself most of the time. :)

The only true costs we have to deal with are food costs. Doesn't cost much at all, really. Vet bills sometimes occur for vaccinations or injuries. A vet bill is a lot less money than a well-baby check up at the pediatrician! lol

Nope.. all of my pets are well behaved creatures.. aside, of course, from my boyfriend, who tends to get out of hand every now and again. The stun gun seems to keep him in line, though.

Teasin... teasin.... ;)

Answer 2

Yes I tell my pets everything thy are the only person I can tell my secrets to and not have to worry about them telling anyone.
Yes all my pets get a bath once a week for the outside pets, My 2 inside dogs get a bath every night with me.It costs me about 11thousand dollars a year to feed my pets and a another 4 or 5 thousand on vet bills we have a large farm full of animals.
Most of my animals don't have much to complain about but sum of the others do have nasty behavior problems like 2 of my horses like to kick when you go to feed them and 1 of my dogs likes to suck chicken eggs. and my other dog LOVES shoes.

Answer 3

Yes to the first four questions. Usually it's just to get his attention or praise/discipline him.

No, they've never needed a bath--they're just housecats.

Not much...just food, litter, and a few toys on occasion. The only really expensive part is the vet, which luckily is only an occasional thing...my cats are healthy enough not to require a lot of care.

All of this applies to my other cat, too.

No, he doesn't have any special behavior problems beyond just being a crazy half-grown kitten. My other cat at least is old enough to behave herself.

I love them dearly...and can't imagine being without them. They're too much fun!

Do you have pets?

Answer 6

yes, they're healthy. I consider myself a cat lover. haha. Yes, I love my pets, they're my babies. Yes, I talk to them, I say whatever I feel like saying. Yes, I've given them baths. I don't know how much it costs, never really calculated it. No special behavior problems right now, hopefully it stays that way.

Answer 7

yes - yes - yes and yes,, gave my dog Hector a bath today as a matter of fact, and he loved it, cools him off and he enjoys water anyway.

I spend about 100 Thai baht per day on food and treats, vet fees about 1200 baht every 2 months (check up , worm medicine and flea / tick repellent. 38 baht = 1 USD That's for 1 dog and 2 cats

Cats are cruel, they love to kill birds and geckos, and they have a bad habit of climbing up the curtains. I use an electronic fly swatter to get their attention, they hate it and stop immediately. The dog likes to chew on things, especially if he's left home alone. I bought him a rope toy, and a rubber ball,, much better now, but not completely trustworthy. He responds very well to "NO" and knows when he's in trouble. A mild scolding is sufficient to get him to behave.

Answer 8

Yep, i believe my pet is healthy.
Yes i too believe i am an animal lover.
Definitely i love my pet.
Yeah i do talk to my pet everyday and every 5 hours excluding bed time. I often tell them my secrets and everything that had just happen.

Yeah my pet do give my loads of problem. But i told her not to do that everyday or when she does that and i smack her lightly in her mouth if she does that and after sometime, she knows my meaning and she stops giving my problems in a week.

Answer 10

Hmmm this may be a tough answer. I do think of anybody is selfish and vicious by potential of nature. i'm in lots of situations a stunning man or woman yet I capture myself being recommend giggling at different women, gossiping, it merely occurs. additionally once you look at somebody you establish if there unattractive or alluring good? you do no longer ought to assert if there grotesque out loud yet maximum folk might whisper it in there friends ear, so i think of anybody is cruel amf won't be in a position to help it. Beacause whether you do no longer say something rude out loud your nonetheless questioning it and that maintains to be recommend. merely like in the adventure that your pal gets the guy you like or gets say soemthig like an iPhone or if considered one of your coworkers get the merchandising you have needed you experience jealous. you won't be in a position to help it rather. Its merely organic. And with regard to the animal ingredient, animals are selfish too. each from time to time i'm a p.c.. the Alfa will attempt to consume the full animal that has been caught. isn't that gluttony and selfishness? however the animal does not think of that. Its an animal you won't be in a position to anticipate it too. So animals are selfish without meaning it. Or what if a lion or different animal is going and steals say a cheetah cub. that's merely cruel. So animals and people are selfish, gluttons, cruel and incredibly a number of the time do no longer recommend it.
