Playing Dead?

emeraldisle @emeraldisle (13139) • United States 16 Mar 08

This morning I got up around 6am to use the bathroom and right outside of it is our dog Lassie (she came with the name when we got her). She's laying there with her eyes barely open and she isn't moving. I call her name a few...

Dinolist Oh, my gosh! That is too funny. I'm so glad it had a happy ending! She had me going, too! I was scared she had eaten some raisins or something. Maybe she's just a really sound sleeper. :)

Argh! My friend is trying to influence me to smoking.

DevilHands @DevilHands (573) • Philippines 13 Mar 08

I don't smoke, I really hate the smell but this friend of mine is an addict to smoking! Just a while ago, he gave me one cigarette and told me to try it... I can't turn him down as he had help me sometimes and I haven't repay him...

Dinolist I can't believe your friend would ask you to try a cigarette. Tell him if he's a real friend, he wouldn't ask you to do something that could get you hooked from the first puff and then slowly kill you. DO NOT smoke another cigarette! Not only do they make you...

Does Your Dog Snore?

terilee79720 @terilee79720 (3621) • United States 11 Mar 08

Mine does. I think it's so cute. I can always tell when he's in a deep sleep. He begins to snore. I sit sometimes and laugh out loud when he starts to snore. It's even funnier when he snores so loud he wakes himself up. Does your...

Dinolist My dog is snoring right now! Yes, I have two dogs and they both snore---loudly! They are so cute. At first, I thought the reason my beagle was snoring was because she was overweight, but my Lab snores, too, and she's fit as a fiddle. Isn't it cute when they...

What age was your child when you first started reading story books to them?

kiran1978 @kiran1978 (4134) • Australia 11 Mar 08

They say that children learn the most in their lives before the age of three. Therefore i believe it is crucial to start reading to children at an early age. I was thinking today I might start reading to my 1 week old baby, have...

Dinolist Absolutely, Kiran! Read to your baby now. Some people read to their babies before they are born! I read to my 6-year-old from the time he was born, and he now has a love for books and reading. He's in the highest reading group in his class, and the only one...

Dinolist I have a chocolate Lab who does this, but she does it even when we are there. It does seem to be an anxiety problem. At one point, the vet recommended anti-anxiety meds, and I actually tried them for a month or so, then it just seemed ridiculous and maybe even...

Do you pick your kids up from school?

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 3 Mar 08

If so, what do you do while you wait? Or do you show up at the last minute so that you don't have to wait in line? I pick up my son every day. He is on a "I hate the bus kick". I have been playing Nintendo Ds or reading. Today...

Dinolist While I'm waiting in line to pick up my kindergartener, I pluck my eyebrows. The lighting is best because of the natural sunlight, I have a visor mirror, and it's about the only time I can take a few minutes for myself without my 3-year-old demanding my...

Dinolist When the human mind is in a very relaxed state, like during sleep or during a shower, it is more open to creative thought. I have read that writers should keep a pen and paper by their bedside so that they may write down the ideas that come to them while in...

Why have a dog if you are just going to keep it chained up in the yard?

Dinolist Haven't tried garlic, but Frontline works great for my Lab and beagle. If your dog is scratching like crazy, it may be an allergy. I had a Lab once who was allergic to fleas and he looked like he had the mange.Best of luck! -Listasaurus.com
