ROFL Calvin you still havent given that up grrr!

Bear · 05-18-2009, 12:42 AM

Yes Grummer all dogs alive now.

Bebonang · 05-20-2009, 10:01 PM

My hubby and I have two cats, one male(neuter) name Tommy and one female(spay) name Princess. We also have a black female dog(spay) name Bear. Tommy is very attached to me like I am the mother to him. We had him when he was a kitten from the veterinary clinic. Princess is not very attached but she is close to my hubby. She likes my hubby a lot, but does not like him to tease her. Bear has some problem of her own like getting some of the porkupine needles stuck around her mouth and part nose. OUCH! Our dog has been getting into the porkupine business every time she goes into the woods or swamp. We manage to get some of the porkupine out of her mouth and nose. We did not have the heart to tie her up and sometimes we do but not for long. <Sigh> Weird animals. I love to watch different birds (not pets) that comes to the bird feeder in our backyard. Very beautiful. <Sigh>

You could get a hearing dog ! No pets are allowed at my condo so I got around it by getting a hearing dog and no can say about it!! I did try to find a hearing cat , but no one train cat to do this!

One Boston Terrier named Daisy Duke. She's 2 years old. Love of my life, but also naughty naughty all the time! She's very hyper and has lots of energy, except in the mornings she's so lazy! She sleeps on her favorite blue blanket. That blanket is mine, and she stole it from me!

LakeTahoe · 05-21-2009, 09:13 AM

Here is a pic of my *mommy's boy* Clyde. He is very spoiled and defends me all the time.

In the second pic, we were taking a walk and I was pushing my wheelchair for a place for me to sit if I needed a rest. And about halfway through the 5 mile walk, my baby boy decided he was gonna be a lazy boy and let me push him for a little while. LOLZ

LakeTahoe · 05-21-2009, 09:21 AM

I have Jack Russell terrier, Tahoe and her daughter is mixed...JRT/PUG. Her name is Tinkerbell. I named her because when she was born, she was tiny bitty!!! Now she is big and healthy!

This is Tinkerbell. I never taught her to sit up like that!! So cute!

This is Tahoe...she absolutely HATES camera!

dogmom · 05-23-2009, 10:00 AM

hi whatdidyousay, I cooked for my previous Rottie who was diagnosed w/kidney disease at 2 years of age. Based on my knowledge of canine nutrition and holistic pet care I refused to use the "prescription" "foods" <NOT what I'd call food> recommended for kidney dogs and did cook for her. We also gave fluids during the last year of her life. She lived to be 8 and 1/2 with kidney disease but with good life quality.

My current dogs, no I don't cook for as they don't need it, they get raw meat and bones and other animal products for their food. I will not use processed food with them <kibble, which is so processed and mostly filler and carbohydrates for which dogs and cats do NOT have a nutritional requirement>.

**Lissa** · 05-23-2009, 01:53 PM

No pets now

Does your parrots let you know when the phone ring or door bell? I thought of getting 'hearing' parrot . A friend of mine has one and he a good 'watch'
bird!

ms_redcat · 05-25-2009, 07:21 PM

I love cats and have since I was little. I have two now. A six-year-old gray tabby boy named Bilbo and a 10-or-so (she was a rescue kitty) all-black girl named Rocks. Bilbo was an orphaned kitten, and I hand-fed him KMR (kitten milk) every two hours. Is he grateful? NO! He's a bratty cat! He reminds me of a teenage boy running away from his mother when she tries to hug him

Rocks is the sweetest, most affectionate cat I've ever met.

I used to have pet rats, and they were wonderful. But the cats aren't used to rats and I'm afraid they would attack them, so no rats now.

Absolutely nothing. Maybe the poster was thinking of cooking things with bones, since that would make the bones brittle and dangerous. Bones can only be safe when raw or frozen. There's also debate which has more nutrition: cooking food or keeping it raw. Cooking it depletes some nutrition.

horsecrazy · 05-31-2009, 11:00 PM

I currently have 2 horses, one is a mustang and the other is half mustang, half thoroughbred. a mini doberman pincher, a calico cat with 4 kittens and a gray tabby with 4 kittens as well. In the past I've had 2 parakeets, a cockatiel, a rat, a hamster, 2 gerbils, several painted turtles, butterflies (monarch mostly) that I "raised" from a catepillar to butterfly, several goldfish, a few bettas, algae eater, snails, toads, frogs, a border collie cross, a beagle, a quarter horse, an 18 months stud quarter horse/appaloosa (which I had gelded later). I'm sure I'm missing quite a few as many have come to stay with me temporarily including the last two horses that had needed some rehabilitation/training before they could be placed in a good home.

MoonDrifter · 06-01-2009, 03:43 AM

I have one male russian blue.

dogmom · 06-01-2009, 05:50 AM

aussiedogs,

YES, u are correct- raw bones, with proper supervision are fine, it's the cooked bones that cause the most problems with dogs and cats. I feed raw in general-

I love the look of the Russian Blue

horsecrazy, what a variety! do the mustangs go barefoot? <no shoes; natural feet>

Yes, I also give my dogs raw bones. They love the bones.

dogmom · 06-01-2009, 11:18 PM

cool, webexplorer! Oral health issues not so much ofconcern when feeding raw bones -

I think that is a good way to get chipped teeth. Treated rawhide is good for the dental hygiene of the dog.

Dingo bones, with a little dried chicken in the twisted rawhide, really encourages chewing.

I always get compliments from my vet on the fantastic health and good teeth of my dogs.

Raw diets are not very safe.

No they aren't as I am a pug breeder. *please no bashing from those that dont believe in breeding*. My pugs are all tested at the vets before breeding and they go through all tests. Unless you have bred before though, I would suggest you read some books on it. Breeding is a hair raising ordeal. Even though all my girls have had nothing but successful births, I still panic when delivery time comes and worry that something will happen to them.

dogmom · 06-02-2009, 06:13 PM

Actually there have been more known cases of deaths and illnesses from processed food than from raw food, and if the person does the research, plans properly and has the advice of a holistic vet, raw diets are quiet safe in healthy animals.
Raw bones, also properly supervised are not a big concern for me personally, as I get bones that are appropriate for the types of dogs I have and I don't leave them alone with them.
Rawhide is very likely to cause internal blockage and is highly processed, especially with various chemicals if not from U.S. As far as I know <could be wrong> those Dingo bones have been from China, which is where all the scare from the contaminated processed pet food came from. I do not buy my dogs anything edible from China. Rawhide, hooves, ears, snouts, Greenies and the like are all made from useless stuff that dogs can't easily or at all process and have a history of causing blockage. It is true that vets have seen cases of problems with IMROPERLY planned/supervised raw diets. Then they think all raw diets are "bad". Vets get very little to no training in nutrition of cats and dogs in vet school.

dogmom · 06-02-2009, 06:20 PM

Bear, I AGREE with you. I am trainer and have Rotties from reputable, experienced breeder. I think that breeding should only be done by folks who have been in dogs and in that breed at a very high or competitive level, for long time and want to improve the breed as a whole. Breeding responsibly means having proven dogs that are worthy of being bred for specific reasons, knowing genetics, breed and line characteristics, health and temperament evaluations and many many more things. It is a very risky and costly thing, not to "try" just once, or because you know a "nice" dog and your cousin/mail carrier/best friend/ co-worker has a "nice" dog.

webexplorer · 06-03-2009, 08:25 PM

I have to say that I agreed with dogmom. My favorite dog died with unknown infection. I may think that a dried meat which I got from some free samples at a dog show is one of the possibilities for my dog's death because there was a tiny label on the bottom package that says "Made in China." (I am so mad at myself that I can't believe that it's China.)

Another possibility, my 72-years-old uncle dropped his natural pill in his car with my dogs on the way to a pond. I also think that he dropped small piece of chocolate chip cookies on the floor because he has a habit of stealing my cookies and eats them so fast at my house once a while. (I don't mind that he eats my cookies without my permission cuz he is losing his mind. I stopped buying the chocolate cookies because of my dog.) I still don't trust any vets because they did not a good job to save a dog's life. Now, I have a 9 months old puppy so I won't let this ever happen again. Now, I have two dogs, and they are happy to be each other.

I believe that every pet owner should have two pets instead of one. Thank you.
