What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

My German Short Hair, Daisy, once ate half a dozen individual snowman cakes that were cooling on the counter, waiting to be frosted. I came up from switching the wash and they were all gone! I was so dumbfounded that I thought for a second they had all come to live and fled before being someone's snack! When I finally realized Daisy must have taken them, I turned to her and asked if she'd eaten them . . . she burped in my face! Mystery solved.

The Black Cat once jumped up on the chair next to where my Grandma was having dinner (pasta with shrimp). He quietly regarded her and her meal for a moment, then reached out and grabbed one of the shrimp with his paw. Impaled on his claw, he transfered the tidbit to his mouth, nodded politely at her, and jumped down to consume his bounty in relative privacy.

2 Questions about a messy friend. Help!?

First Question: My friend had a baby about 4 months ago and her messy habits have gotten way worse. She uses the baby as an excuse never to clean but she is always going out with friends or doing crafts. Her apartment has dog hair, laundry, dishes and clutter all over the place. She wants me to go over but it's too uncomfortable for me and my daughter. I would invite her to my house but she doesn't get up my way very often. What should I do?

Second Question:

The same friend changes her baby right on my kitchen table when she does come over. What should I do/say? How can people be so messy?!

2 Questions about a messy friend. Help!?

you should try to tell her that whats shes doing in going to affect her baby in the long run, cuz with all that cluster her baby could get hurt. and about the kitchen table.. just WOW who the heck does that.. show some respect. try to talk it out with her about respect and everything

2 Questions about a messy friend. Help!?

If she's really messy then you should tell her that it won't be healthy for her baby and maybe she might listen to you this time because a child's health is really important due to the environment.

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

what can i do to stop them ???? he is missing hair on his lower left back and side of tail where he ate it off... i have been putting neosporin on it but he eats it off. please help

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

there are too many options as to what could be wrong with your dog......You MUST seek help from a vet. it is your responsibility.

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

vet's

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Sorry but you need to see a vet so they can test for what it is so you can properly medicate it. Neosporin isn't going to solve the problem. See if they can work out a payment plan. Don't use OTC products, they have harsh chemicals that can kill your dog if not used properly.

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Could be mites, you can get some ointment and powder specifically for them at wal-mart pretty cheap.

Is it mange? Burnt motor oil is a good way to clear that up, just rub some into the skin and it kills the mange. Don't let your dog eat the oil as it will make it sick, so rub it in, then immeadeatly wipe it off and clean the area.

That is all I can recommend, if people give you a hard time about not going to the vet, don't worry, dude, I have been on hard times before too, I feel ya.

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

First, I have to say that you need to take the dog to the vet. Put it on a credit card if you have to. Dogs cost money to keep healthy.

That said, I have an idea that may work. Perhaps your dog just has allergies. Try putting witch hazel (you can get it in any drugstore, and it's very cheap, like a dollar a bottle) on your dog's "hot spots." It shouldn't burn, and I have a friend who swears by it for his dog's hot spots (raw spots where the hair has been chewed off).

Your dog absolutely needs a proper diagnosis and treatment, and there are two things you can do.

1. Get a phone book and call all of your area vets. Ask them if they will allow you to make payments. See if you are eligible for Care Credit, which a lot of vets will accept. (It's a credit card for paying vet bills.)

2. Surrender your dog to the SPCA or Humane Society. You will no longer have a dog, but your dog will receive the veterinary care he requires. It might not be your choice, but your dog should not suffer because you can't afford to have him.

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

you can try bathing him with flea/tick shampoo (follow the directions) but most likely he will need to be diagnosed by a vet. Start saving or go hock something...

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

You might try calling a vet and explaining the symptons and your curcumstances; that you are not in a financial positition to bring the dog in and are seeking advice. You would be surprised to find that most are willing to help or work with you if he needs medical treatment outside of something over the counter. It certainly is nothing lost to take that route. Worst case scenario is that if they are unwilling to offer assistance or advice, you will know that is one vet you don't want to use when and if you are in a postion to use one in the future.

Sell your computer and pay for the vet!!!!!!!!

Go to petco or Walmart and get the meds you need there. You're dog is slowly being sucked out of every needed nutrients and will die. But you will have very health parasites. Just goofing. A dog is a costly responsibility. It needs parvo shots, rabies, flea shampoo, heart meds and lots of love. If you are not in the position to accept these responsibilities now a mature,loving and unselfish thing to do is give it to someone who can and wait until you can get a job to afford another dog. There are many great dogs out there that need a good home. You will find one when you are financially ready.

I understand that sometimes you just don't have money for a vet visit. I hope you at least have money to pick up the treatments.

Are you sure that he does not have fleas? Fleas tend to congregate where you are saying he is chewing. If he is allergic to fleas, he'll darn near chew his tail off trying to scratch the itch. If he does have fleas, bath him with a good flea shampoo (Not that hartz crap either) and then put a monthly preventative like Frontline on him to keep them from coming back.

If he is scooting his butt on the ground, that isn't a sign of worms like people used to say but rather a sign of impacted anal glands. That is very annoying to them and they'll chew around the base of their tail for that as well. You'll have to get a vet or a groomer to take care of that. A groomer will generally charge about $5-10 for that. If he's not scooting his butt though, probably not the problem.

You can buy over the counter wormers at any pet supply store (Petco, PetSmart). I would avoid the stuff from Walmart because it's generally garbage (there's a reason it's so cheap). If you live where there are farm supply stores, they will have them as well. You can also get a tube of Safeguard wormer for horses. It is VERY safe, you can overdose them and it won't hurt them. A tube will run you about $7-8 and it's enough to treat a 1250 pound horse, so it will last your dog a lifetime. This will get tapeworms in addition to the usual parasites. I've done this a million times with dogs dumped here in addition to my own, works like a charm and my vet ok'ed it as well.

As for the places where his skin is raw, you really need a topical antibiotic made for animals. At the pet supply store, look for some type of oil for dry itchy skin, something with tea tree oil would be great.

When I lived in a major city, the vets were all Payment Due At Time Of Service. No exceptions, no sympathy. I'm in the country now. My vet just puts it all on my bill. I drop off $20 or $40 every week until I'm caught up. If you're near a rural town, might try calling one of the clinics there.

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Are you sure it is parasites? My dog did that and it was food allergies. I understand the money situation. It sucks. I went to the vet ($40) just so they could tell me to switch food($40). You should call a local no-kill shelter. When I'm low on cash I try that and they have always told me to bring my dog in. You may just want to show up there, so they can't turn you away. In my case, they just gave me what I needed. But even if they charge you, it won't be nearly as much. Just make sure to make a hefty donation to the shelter when you have more cash. Good luck.

Poor people are entitled to have pets too, and I am sure that you love yours very much.

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

please seek medical attention for your pet, he depends on you (his family) for his care. Good Luck.

Try and find a vet in your area that treats animals at a low cost. There's always one somewhere. Your other option is to surrender your dog to your local ASPCA. Let them know what the situation is - your dog is sick and you can't afford to take care of it - and they will take custody of your dog, and give him a good home. There are so many things that could be wrong with him. Hopefully, it isn't too late to save is life.

How to safely clean...?

How can you safely clean the insides of a pop-up toaster? I usually just shake the crumbs into the trash. But this time, when I opened the bottom of it there were spider webs %26amp; dog hair in it~Nasty!! Would it be ok to run hot water through the unplugged toaster and let it dry thouroghly before using it again or would that damage it?

How to safely clean...?

unplug the toaster and remove the bottom trap door then shake the toaster holding iupsiode down u can gently vaccum the inside being carful to not touch the wires etc then put back together

How to safely clean...?

Although it would be perfectly acceptable to run water through an UNPLUGGED toaster and let it dry, this can possibly cause rust. (unless of course the toaster is stainless steel inside as well as out) Suprisingly old fashioned rubbing alchohol would work better because of the evaporation factor. The alchohol will clean (and kill germs) but cannot cause oxidation because it evaporates quickly. However, whether you use water or alchohol, make sure it is DRY!!! before plugging in or you can cause damage to the toaster or a fire in the case of alchohol.

How to safely clean...?

do not run water thru a toaster! take it out side and use the wand on your vaccuum cleaner on exhaust and blow the garbage out, or just toss the thing out and get a new unit they`re dirt cheap and easy to find, especially with xmas coming up, they are all over the place

How to safely clean...?

I would not run water in it.....They are very cheap at Wal-Mart I would just buy another one. Like $10.

If you are wanting to save it you could.

#1 If you have an air-compressor you could blow it out.

#2 Wipe the bottom of the tray out with a rag with bleach on it after it drys use it a few times and the heat will kill any bacteria let on it.

Is it okay if i get a hamster or pet with hair if i have allergies?

can anyone help me? i need an answer quick. see i have allergies to fur and any animal that has fur and i've asked all of my friends and they all said its probably okay if i get a hairless pet or a dog that doesn't shed. but ever since i was achild i've always wanted a pet hamster, dog or even a cat i don't really care what kind but i just really want a pet companion. can anyone give me a name of a breed of a cat, dog or any other pet i could have that can have? it would be a great help.

Is it okay if i get a hamster or pet with hair if i have allergies?

If you are prone to alergies, then having pets of your own is probably not a good idea. But that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your friends pets.

Best vacuum cleaner?

I'm looking for a good quality handheld vacuum cleaner that won't die as soon as you remove it from the charger. It'll be used mostly for picking up dog hair, so it should be decently strong. Even one that isn't cordless is fine, as long as it's strong.

Best vacuum cleaner?

unfortunately, my experience with charger type vacuums is they just don't last. you might have to consider a old fashioned cord!! I have searched for years for one...no luck yet. if you do buy a corded one, consider one with a rolling brush, I own a dirt devil. It's just o.k. and very loud.

good luck.
