Soulmate = partner in relationship?

caesarin @caesarin (1089) • Indonesia 25 May 09

I used to think that our partner is our soul mate. But not anymore. I learn that even people who claimed their husbands or wives as their soul mates got divorced. Meaning to me, we are not necessarily find our soul mate as our...

akitajitsu I don't think a person has just one soulmate in their lives, but many. People change as they grow, and so what matches their soul when they are young, may not match 10 years later. This is probably why so many divorced couples felt they were soulmates when...

Which dog breed smells the worst?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 25 May 09

We're thinking about getting a small dog, who would mostly be an indoor breed dog. The dog would go outside on occasion. I'm not big on dogs that have a bad smell. I don't mind normal dog smells, but stinky dogs are a...

akitajitsu I think smell has more to do with the dog and it's environment than which breed it is. My Mom's Chihuahua-Pomeranian stinks constantly, even shortly after a bath, but she also runs around outside and rolls in dirt. My Akita doesn't smell, except for a short...

Braxton Hicks at 28 weeks?

berlong @berlong (227) • United States 24 May 09

So I will be 28 weeks pregnant tomorrow, with my first child. I have a couple friends who are pregnant and further along than I am, and they have been feeling braxton hicks contractions for a while now. Where as I have yet to feel...

akitajitsu Not everyone will have Braxton-Hicks contractions. Don't worry if you don't! I started having them at about 15 weeks, and had then regularly the rest of my pregnancy. I wouldn't say they were painful, so much as very uncomfortable...like cramps during your...

Do you have nicknames for your dog?

cmauthe1 @cmauthe1 (267) • Canada 22 Mar 09

Our dog's name when we first brought him home from the SPCA was "Todd" - who would name their dog that? We changed him name to Rocky as it had somewhat the same sound and we thought it suited him. But we also call him other...

akitajitsu I don't think it's confusing to them. Like was said above, it's more about the tone than the actual word. My Akita is named Keyser Soze. I usually just call him Keyser, but I also call him Mr. Soze, Kaidor and Dog. I figured calling him Dog was easier on my...

Dog Allergies?

biglebowskifan @biglebowskifan (31) • United States 21 Mar 09

Does your dog(s) have allergies? I usually have to drug him up with Benadryl many times a day (he's a big dog) just so he doesn't break out and constantly lick himself. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a better way?...

akitajitsu Have you talked to a vet about your dog's allergies? He may be allergic to grass or pollen, and need to be on something like prednisone during certain times of the year. My Chow would lick his paws raw during the spring. Prednisone really helped, as did making...
