The great cat declawing debate
do unto others as you would have them do unto you. can you imagine having this done to yourself? I clip my cat's claws every 2 weeks, and I have no problems. I know that not all cats are the same, not all situations are the same, but please, it should definitely NOT the first choice!

The Great Cat Declawing Debate
I had one cat declawed years ago, i did it because she couldnt hear, and if she got outside, she would get herself in a tree and stay there for long periods of time before anyone would find her (yes she did this several times) If you called for the cat, she never called back. When we did get her back, she was thin, and beaten a bit by the elements. I now have 4 cats, one indoor outdoor, the others strictly indoors.... (continued)

The Great Cat Declawing Debate
You have to take into consideration that there could be special circumstances. I have had many, many cats and refused to declaw any of them - until this last one - I am very allergic to cats, and when the cat allergies "kick in" so-to-speak, I have problems w/ my asthma. Just being around cats doesn't make it all that bad, but if I'm scratched by one, the area swells up and turns red and painful - and then all th... (continued)

1 year old Lab/mix fear aggression
My 1 year old lab mix has recently become aggressive toward people. We rescued her at 6-8 months old. She had been exposed to some children and teenagers before we got her, but we do not have any children. When she was younger she would let neighborhood children and adults pet her on walks. About a month ago I noticed an increase in barking at people walking on the street (from within our urban home). She has start... (continued)

dog park days
We live ten minutes from an off lead sports oval where Lila has spent much time with dogs of all shapes and sizes, negotiating the quirks of their wildly ranging personalities.
The two moodles (aka maltipoos) Topsy and Turvy have never once offered to play with Lila (too much brown dog), but she always greets them with exuberance. She loops round and round with delight undaunted by Turvy’s snarl-snap. But Turvy ... (continued)

behavior problems-please help!!
I have a mixed breed (looks like chihuahua-papillon) dog that we rescued several years ago. When we got him he had never been out of a dog crate. Although his behavior got better for a while it has recently taken a turn for the worse. He has always been extremely timid and has some behavioral issues.He does not like to come out of my room and can frequently be found under the bed. He doesn't often "play". He is ver... (continued)

My dog doesn't like men
I just got a 3 yr old rat terrier/toy fox terrier from a rescue. He was super cool when he came for the home check visit but when we finally brought him home for good, he really didn't like my step dad. Hes great with my mom and I, and even my girl friends. But he barks and runs from my step dad, his friends, and my boy friend. What can I do to get him to warm to the men in my life?

Blue tick behavior
Sophie is weird and I was wondering if anyone else who has a blue tick or any hound for that matter does the same sort of things....
1. digs a deep hole in the dirt then lays in it
2. sits outside (like she is being told sit) and just looks around slowly back and fourth like shes monitoring the yard for hours at a time
3. When given a treat hides it in couch cushions or buries it somewhere else instead of eating it
Just weird things I'm curious about
