My_Favorite_Stay_Cat CommentWe have a cat that isn't necessarily a stray (she has a collar and tags), but she is always roaming the neighborhood. Her name is Shock Tart. Funny name for a cat. She always comes over to me wanting me to pet her and she will roll on her back and after... - Thu Oct 19 19:27:17 2006:
Dogs_on_the_furniture CommentOur dogs have always got on our furniture. It doesn't really bother me at all. I am a clean freak and I vaccuum all surfaces and use febreeze on the sofas. We have always had very small animals though so they don't really get anything... - Thu Oct 19 19:25:27 2006:
Do_you_put_your_dog_in_a_seatbelt_in_the_car CommentI saw on tv just the other day the seatbelts for dogs. My dog is only about 4 lbs. I doubt they make them small enough for her. The only way my dog goes with me in the car is if there is a passenger that can hold... - Thu Oct 19 19:23:54 2006:
Does_your_dog_sleep_on_your_bed_at_night CommentOur dog sleeps under the covers in the bed with us sometimes in the winter. She is little and I feel sorry for her when it is really cold and snowy outside. We always make sure she has had a bath before she gets to sleep in our... - Thu Oct 19 19:20:57 2006:
dog_habits CommentI wish my dog would eat grass over cat poop. My dog has never ate grass that I know of, but she probably sneaks some when I am not looking like the cat poop. I have also heard they eat it for digestive reasons. If we need vegetables, dogs do too.... - Thu Oct 19 19:18:57 2006:
Cat_Ready_to_Give_Birth_How_Do_You_Know CommentOur cats would usually try to go into a dark closet and then they start clawing the ground to get the area comfortable. Dogs do the same thing. Our cats started meowing and panting a lot too. Usually you will notice they will act out of the ordinary for... - Wed Oct 18 22:27:51 2006:
Buying_from_a_pet_store CommentWe have bought a poodle at a pet shop. Which was way too expensive. We have also bought cats from pet shops for like 30.00. They were very sweet cats, rag dolls, and well worth the purchase.... - Wed Oct 18 22:26:14 2006:
Most Expensive Pet you ever bought MessageWe bought a miniature toy poodle in a pet shoppe for $400.00. Now, thinking back that probably was not the smartest move. "Buddy" was a good dog, but overpriced. What are some of your outrageous pet... - Wed Oct 18 22:23:23 2006:
Favorite Cat movie MessageJust wanted to post some of our favorite movies with cats. I loved "Garfield" and "Cats and Dogs". They are both very funny, entertaining movies, even for adults.... - Wed Oct 18 22:21:58 2006:
Favorite Dog Movie MessageI thought it would be fun to list some of our favorite movies about dogs or has a dog in it that plays an important role. If I had to pick an animated movie, I loved "All Dogs go to Heaven" as child. I also liked... - Wed Oct 18 22:19:25 2006:
Non shedding dogs MessageI read somewhere that all dogs shed, but there are some dogs that shed very little. Poodles, Yorkies, Bichons, and Schnauzers don't shed very much. If you know of any others, feel free to list them... - Wed Oct 18 22:15:59 2006:
Preventing Fleas and Ticks MessageDo you flea dip your pet? I have a miniature dachsund and she only weighs about 4 pounds so I have been advised she is too small to do a flea dip. The only thing I do is have her wear a flea collar and we bathe her twice a month. She gets too dry if we... - Wed Oct 18 22:11:43 2006:
Declawing_a_cat CommentDo not declaw a cat that spends anytime outside. That is the only defense they have against other animals. If you have an indoor cat that stays indoors 24/7 then I think it would be ok to declaw... - Wed Oct 18 22:10:21 2006:
Shedding_Cats CommentI suggest getting one of those rollers you use to pick up lint. I would buy the largest one they have. Cats usually pick favorite spots to lay so it shouldn't take too long to clean up the hair off of the spots they enjoy laying. Otherwise, have fun... - Wed Oct 18 22:08:29 2006:
Another_use_for_cat_litter CommentYes, I have also seen people use cat litter to clean up oil. Most people in our area seem to use sand, but I think anything of that type of texture could soak up the oil.... - Wed Oct 18 22:06:38 2006:
Birds in your neighborhood MessageWhat are some of the birds you see outside in your area? I live in West Texas and we have Blue Jays, Cardinals, and Robins mostly. I love the birds outside.

Common_Aquarium_Mistakes CommentI have always been told one inch of fish per gallon so that is what I go by and I never have problems. That is for fish like goldfish, now a beta doesn't even need one gallon to itself. I think another mistake is not having a filter, it keeps the water... - Tue Oct 17 22:40:54 2006:
Dogs_teeth CommentI have never heard of brushing your dogs teeth. She would probably squirm and I would have it all over her face. She is getting fairly old, 7 years old. But, her teeth have been like this for about 2 years... - Tue Oct 17 22:39:23 2006:
Best Pet Store MessageThe only one we have is PetSmart, but it is fairly expensive so we just shop at Walmart, unless they don't have what we need and then we use PetSmart. Does anyone have a different pet supply... - Tue Oct 17 22:37:42 2006:
Do_you_go_to_petting_zoos CommentWe don't have a petting zoo here. We have just the regular zoo but you can't touch or feed the animals.

Dressing_up_your_pet_for_Halloween CommentMy dog is really small and they have very cute costumes in her size, but she would go nuts. I think it would be cute to dress her up. We sometimes take pictures of her at Christmas in a santa... - Tue Oct 17 22:34:40 2006:
Iguanna_Size CommentI think I would just stick with a lizard. Iguanas are too hard. What do they eat? If you have a 6 foot long iguana does it cost a fortune to feed it? I suppose they just roam the house because they couldn't fit in an aquarium. Or do you keep them in the... - Tue Oct 17 22:32:46 2006:
Prarie Dogs MessageI live in west Texas and there are a bunch of prarie dogs around here. I wonder if anyone keeps them like pets. They seem like really cute little creatures. I'm sure they could be tamed like most... - Tue Oct 17 22:31:26 2006:

Working_in_a_Vet_office CommentI think it would be fun to work in a vet office. The animals would be so much fun. I am sure the good would outweigh the bad. Plus regardless of what is going on, you are helping the animals. I think it would be a rewarding... - Tue Oct 17 22:28:38 2006:
Vetinarian CommentVets have very hard, but rewarding jobs. You really have to love animals to enjoy this profession. It is hard work and many years of college. Animals become like a family member and it is hard to tell someone that their pet is sick or is... - Mon Oct 16 21:55:50 2006:
Fish_in_a_fish_bowl CommentIf I were you I would buy a small 5 gallon tank with a lid because if you just get a bowl, your child will find a way to get her hands in the bowl and grab the fish. At least that is what most kids do, maybe your kiddo is well... - Mon Oct 16 21:54:28 2006:
Dogs teeth MessageMy dogs teeth are starting to get brown around her gumlines and a few have fallen out. She has always eaten Iams and she chews on the raw hides. I don't know if this is even preventable. Anyone else have the same issue with your... - Mon Oct 16 21:53:03 2006:

My_dog_eats_cat_poop_out_of_the_liter_box CommentYeah mine is doing it, but she doesn't get sick. It is so gross just knowing she is doing that and then she licks us. Next time I get a dog I am not getting a miniature... - Mon Oct 16 21:48:16 2006:

Best brand of Cat litter MessageI think when I had a cat, I used Fresh Step and it covered the odor better than any other litter I tried. I also tried the kind you can just flush, but it didn't mask odor good enough and I was afraid it would clog the... - Mon Oct 16 00:23:20 2006:

Free newspaper cats MessageIs it general rule of thumb that you put an ad up when the kittens are six weeks old.

198626-dog_training CommentThis sounds really bad, but it worked for our Lhasa Apso. We would rub his nose in it and then put him outside.

First_Aid_for_Pets CommentThe only thing I have for my dog is a brush, shampoo, food, treats, chew sticks, nail clippers, collar, and a leash. She has lived just fine for 7 years this way.

Hermit_Crab_Care CommentI have not had a hermit crab before, but I had a friend as a child that had one. Hers lived forever, but it got out of the tank all of the time.
