Dogs_on_the_furniture CommentWhen we were growing up, my parents NEVER let our dog go onto the furniture. We let ours go on it, it doesn't bother us.

Do you feed your dog table food? MessageMy sister would give her dog table food all the time. They would cook ground beef and rice for her EVERYDAY.

Best_Pet_Store CommentI personally like Petco. I've found the help there to be very knoweldgeable. There's always someone available if I have questions.

Do you take your pet to the store with you? MessageMy siblings will take their dogs to Petsmart or Petco but that's it. They won't go to the grocery store or the mall or anything like that.

Cesar_Millan_The_Dog_Whisperer CommentI saw him on Oprah. I couldn't believe how spot on he was about her dogs. it definitely takes a certain kind of person to do what he does. I have seen only a couple of episodes of his show because I can never remember when it's... - Wed Oct 11 17:30:56 2006:

Daughter_s_fear_of_dogs CommentOur neighbors have two little dogs and she is a little receptive to them, but only because she has known them for a long time. Her fear is of the bigger dogs.
