German Shepherds and Children?
I dont think its fair to say that one breed is better then the other that being said Im a firm believer in puppy school and dog classes to insure you get the best behaviour out of your dog. Please do not go to dog schools that use physical force or pain to...
House Training a Puppy?
Take your pup outside to the washroom after he wakes up, plays and shortly after he eats and drinks (and any other time he looks like he has to go). Little pups have tiny bladders and need to go often picking him up to take him outside is the best way to prevent...
Training a Dog Not to Bark?
This is how we trained our pup not to bark or at least not very often maybe once a day unless we are playing with her. When she barked we would put our finger to our mouth and say shh no bark then give her a small piece of treat. She must not be barking when...
Shoebox Cat Toy
I love this idea. I foster sick kittens from my local shelter and spend a lot of money on toys for the kittens, after they return to the shelter to go up for adoption i have to throw out all the toys because of cross contamination. This will save me lots of...
Olive (Maltese)
I fully agree with the adopt a dog from a shelter. The problem is that we almost never get small non shedding dogs. Large dogs, shedding dog yes plentiful you can have your pick. We had certain requirements so we decided to go with a breeder. Thanks!
Olive (Maltese)
Olive loves to dress up. She is use to it from winter boots and coats to hair bows and sometimes little sweaters. That is just her soft, sweet face. Thanks to everyone who posted a feedback.

Can I Use Kitty Litter for My Guinea Pig?
I dont think you can because of the clumping factor and that the guinea pigs will eat the litter. The best thing to do is to get the guinea pigs fixed which should get rid of the strong urine smell.

Training an Energetic Puppy?
Your mixed breed of dog is very, very high energy. This dog needs way more then a walk in the park, he needs to run, run and run. Is there an off leash park you can take him to? Maybe throw the ball. Does anyone jog or hike? I think before you can do training...

3 Month Old Puppy That Bites?
Oh I hope I can help. Always hand feed your pup until he stops biting you while he is eating. Make him sit and feed him one or two kibbles at a time, that way he knows you control his food. Everyone in the family should do it, making him sit first that way...

Ridding Lawn of Ant Hills?
Have i the answer for you. All those empty plastic bottle tops will come in handy with this recipe. In a bowl mix equal parts of baking soda and icing sugar. Fill the tops with the mixture, and place in the garden so its flush with the soil. Thats it. The mixture...
Boy-Girl Birthday Party?
I think not. Other parents may not be happy with this type of party, since every parent has different ideas of what is appropriate. Once you ok this type of party it will be hard to say no next time and your son may expect this type of party in the future and...
Will mother gerbils bury their babies?
I dont think mother gerbil will harm her babies. If she is burying her babies it is most likely she is protecting them from preditors. Keep an eye on them and make sure they are all nursing. Depending on their ages i would not touch them because of human scent...

We have had two aggressive poodles over the years. First a standard female which we gave back to the breeder at 4 months of age on the advice of our trainer. Then 3 years later we bought a miniture male poodle who had no problems biting 2 of my kids. That was...
