  Keeping a Collar on.

  Well, I was thinking about getting a small one to put on my daughter's dresser. She's only three so just a couple fish would be sufficient and, because she's only three, I don't want to spend a lot of money.

She's only three so just a couple fish would be sufficient and, because she's only three, I don't want to spend a lot of money. I saw a kit that had the aquarium, pump, and some little extras for about $30, which would be great as long as the thing isn't a total piece o...

  That is awesome! I have an Aunt who can tell when it's going to rain. I've never seen a cat be able to do this though. I would have wondered what the heck was wrong with the cat the first couple of times.

  Keep telling him no when he does it. They should also give him positive attention when he does something right. Play with him with his doggie chew toys and praise him for being a good dog.

  Barking at bears

  I swear my dog won't stop barking at the Black bears that come through my back yard. Do you think that these bears will get annoyed and come after my dog. I think she is just trying to alert me that there is danger in the area. Any thoughts?

  Maybe the dog associates the carpet with certain food. As Ada said, something might have spilled on the carpet and the smell somehow got stuck in there. To prevent him from going near the carpet, keep him busy. Give him toys or dog stuff to chew on.

  No, we have never given our dogs organic dog food. I suppose organic dog food is healthier and I have just read that it's good for the dog's skin and coat. However, I bet it doesn't come cheap.

  I had a 23 year old cat that found it difficult to move around until the Vet recommened Cosequin.  After she had a couple of doses of that, she was almost like a kitten again for a while.  We gave it to her every day for as long as she lived.

  Heartgard overlap?

  I heard that things like Heartgard and even the ones for cats somewhat overlap by the full four months. By chance is anyone here a vet that might know if this is true or not?

By chance is anyone here a vet that might know if this is true or not? I am wondering what happens if you miss a few days when your shipment gets delayed after you order from places like PetMeds.

  Shepherds are adorable dogs and very loving. Our oldest right now has to be the sweetest dog I have ever met and I fully understand where you are coming from with the little dogs. For some reason I doubt I could have one either!

  I would think what you want to use it for exactly would make a difference. A small cheap one may work well if you just want a few fish and not a lot of "bells and whistles". Also depends on what kind of money you have to spend on one.

  We have some friends that live up north and they have talked about how much their Husky loves to play in the snow. They sent us a video of him doing that and it was really funny to watch.
