Military bases are in fact insured by themselves, but they do indeed have to follow local laws. For instance you said you were stationed in Fort Bragg NC. Recently BSL legistation went in effect for Fayetteville banning pit bull terriers, and a few…
It's narrow minded BS. Also you have to contact insurance companies about the higher homeowner premiums if you have one of the breeds on the "dangerous" dog list. These include the pits of course, rotties, G shepherds, boxers, akitas, chow chow, dob…
Greyhound are in the top 5 with a speed of 40 mph. Contrary to belief they are quite the couch potatoes in a home environment. They are forced to run. My dog is an ex dog fighter pit bull/greyhound mix. Bred specifically for fighting being 2 powerfu…
Thanks Stephan. But the best thanks I ever get in my profession are the ones we can save. And when they come in year after year after year greeting us with wagging tails and kisses. You know how hard it is to feel an animal family member goes lifele…
Yes it is a vet matter, sorry. Definitely not normal. How long has it been since her spay? At 6 months it had to have been recently since most vets recommend 6 months old before spaying. It may be an infection, or maybe just taking in too much water…
Well I am glad to hear that she is doing better. It may have just been something that a lot of senior toy dogs through at old age. but they do have meds for urinary incontinence that will help with that, but being a dog her size how big a puddle can…
Note my comment on the top of the list:) For the record on PETA supporters, they are all for destroying the pit bull breed altogether. See for yourself. In fact they support fixing ALL animals until the shelters are empty. As nice as that sound all…
Glad to see he had loving and caring people surrounding him. But now I ask you, these are the same people who had to make that choice to put him to sleep or did you miss that point? Notice the dilated pupils, and the man lying on him, and the other…
It looks like by brutal expertise is needed here as well. As I am not Cesar Milan, I am a vet tech and am pretty good with behavior as I myself has an ex dog fighter that I rehabilitated along with several others and countless reptile rehabilitation…
I am a harsh person as mentioned in the post. Sugarcoating is for pastries. Gets the point across better than tip toeing around the problem. Have a Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year.
All good advise from everyone here. Sugarless plain yogurt is fine for him. You are indeed bathing him too often. Don't use the Hartz brand shampoo found in the grocery stores. It is all crap. The only Hartz products I personally recommend is the to…
pit bull/greyhound mix named Maya
Min daschund named Tennyson
Dom short hair named Loki
Ragdoll cat named Puck
Red tail boa named Big Boy
Ball python named Jade
Leopard Gecko named Spock
How we met:
member ASPCA for 2 years
Pet likes:
Puck-sleeping in the window ledge soaking in some rays
Loki-beating up on Puck or bathing himself
Maya likes to chew and run like a maniac
Tennyson likes rough housing with Maya
Pet dislikes:
Loki-dogs
Puck-being petted for more than 3 strokes, worth the display of teeth to cuddle a 15 lb solid white long hair cat with one blue eye and one yellow
Maya-other dogs that walk by the house
Tennyson-any affection my wife gives me
Pet’s favorite spot:
Puck-back of the couch
Loki- the basket at the top of his cat tower
Tennyson-his bagel bed
Maya-wherever I go
Pet’s favorite toy:
Maya-tennis ball
Tennyson-whatever Maya is playing with
Loki-his 8 ft cat tower
Puck doesn't play he sleeps and eats and that is all he does, other than being Loki's punching bag.
Pet’s silliest habit:
Puck is afraid of squirt guns (only way to discipline to a deaf cat not to drink from our drinking glasses) but gets in the shower before we do. Loki's favorite toy is Puck. Maya, all about the tennis ball
Pet’s sweetest moments:
When the first time both cats and dogs were asleep on the couch together.
I crack up when my pet:
Loki makes sure your hands are clean before he allows you to touch him, then he cleans the spot you petted when he is being cuddled, Tennyson is attention hog and thinks he is my protector even though he is 6 inches tall and i am 220 lbs at 6'1, Puck will only allow 3 pets before he bites, life revolves around Maya's tennis ball.
My pet is unique because:
All my pets are unique due to certain psychological issues(they are all crazy) but love them very much. They are a mismatched bunch of animals that make one big happy family.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots…
I had to put my dog(best friend) down barely a month and a have ago. Is it normal for me to still cry all night? I've been looking for a new dog even though I won't be able to get one for quite some time. Is what I'm feeling normal?
