TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 21 Sep 09

Today's Dear Abby contained a letter from a dog owner who picked up his dog's droppings, placed them in a plastic bag, sealed the bag and then deposited the bag in somebody else's trash can. Acceptable? Or should he have gone...

dsrtrose I think ANY trash will do if bagged and sealed. What is NOT aceptable is letting the dogs poop on others yards and leaving it there!! I wish we had bins here just for dog poo, as it is the trash guys say "no poop" so have to hide at bottom??? There are...

dsrtrose I love mini schnauzers! I had one for 9 years and he died of liver problems. He was pedigreed, but he had the best, laid back personality of any dog I have ever owned. I replaced him with a rescue Chow/mix. I recently lost my Giant Schnauzer, whom I loved...

gracepets @gracepets (79) • Philippines 23 Jul 09

We live in the same house, we are under the same roof, but still, there's a gap between us since our childhood. I think it's because my parents always compare me to her. And I know she gets hurt whenever that happens. What will I...

I own 2 dogs. One is 3 years old and is mixed:border collie/spitz. My other is 3 1/2 years old mixed: border collie/german shephard/rotweiller. They are so smart and loyal. I hate when people say they think pure breeds are better....

dsrtrose I have 2 purebred dogs and one "mutt", honestly the mutt is smarter, I believe that the purebred dogs have often been overbred or inbred thus producing less than optimal intelligent breeds, but hey, I love them all the same!!

dhawanbm @dhawanbm (3705) • India 25 Jun 09

Curlann @annierose (21583) • Philippines 28 May 09

whether pet dogs like wearing the clothes their owners dress them?

dsrtrose I imagine that they do NOt like it or have no opinion at all, but tolerate whatever is done to them to please their owner. I think unless a dog has little or no fur and it is freezing outside, that they need no clothes. In that case a sweater is fine.
