My Dog Always Follows Me Around

leslie4130 @leslie4130 (44) • United States 29 Aug 10

I love this but sometimes I feel bad, because, my dog will jump up on my big bed and get comfortable with me at the end, as I lay down, then I remember that I forgot something and I will get up, and she will get up and follow me,...

Penguin123 My dog is a little bit older than yours, about 15 months old (not sure exactly as she was found abandoned at around 7 weeks old). She follows both me and my partner around the home and garden. Everytime we move she will wake up if she is sleeping. I do wonder...

Education used to mean something. Why is it so much harder to get employed now?

zionsphere @zionsphere (673) • United States 30 Aug 10

I was having this discussion with my friend last week. She was raised to believe that having an education was the key to success. But now, even with a bachelor's degree, she is finding it difficult to find employment. It wasn't...

Penguin123 More people are expected to go to university at the end of their high/secondary school and so there is more pressure to obtain a degree. As more people are succeeding and passing university qualifications and degrees this means that business have more choice...

Would You Consider Going Vegetarian?

candyfairy21 @candyfairy21 (2039) • Philippines 27 Aug 10

Would You Consider Going Vegetarian? This sounds like death sentence since I am carnivorous but I have tried veggie diet from my friends who are, and they cooked it nicely that mimics the taste of meat. It wasn't so bad at all but...

Penguin123 I would not consider being vegetarian as I enjoy meat too much. Of course if I was advised against eating meat because of a health condition then I may have to cut down but I know I would find it very difficult becoming a vegetarian.

Pet Talk

Island_Geko @Island_Geko (3759) • Canada 12 Nov 06

Do you talk to your pets and do you think they understand?

Penguin123 We are always talking to our dog and cat when they are near us. The dog tries to understand but it is the tone of the words that you say that they understand. That's why when you are training a dog with a particular command you should use the same word with...

Do animals dream?

kyel_11 @kyel_11 (1069) • Philippines 28 Aug 10

I noticed that when my dog is sleeping, she usually move her feet as if she's running or something. sometimes it's as if she has an enemy, i can see her canine teeth. so i come up with this question, do animals (especially dogs)...

Penguin123 I have a cat and a dog and often the cat will shake when she is in a deep sleep. Sometimes the dog makes whimpering noises so we reckon these must be times when the animals are dreaming.

The lady next door.

kris182_2000 @kris182_2000 (5469) • Canada 25 Aug 10

Part of the reason that I'm moving is because of the annoying lady next door. She constantly yells at her kids, she's home all the time. She treats those kids so bad, it's unreal. She moved in and basically took over the...

Penguin123 It sounds as though the best thing to do would be to move. You can only really complain if the noise is at night and probably on a regular basis.

How Bizarre...!

AutumnGold @AutumnGold (1056) 26 Aug 10

I was in Shrewsbury yesterday, the weather felt a bit like winter, it was chilly and wet so summer felt like a long time away. The day before had been warm, sunny and ideal for sitting out in the sun. As I was walking in a busy...

Penguin123 That's one thing I don't miss now I live in Portugal: the feeling that Christmas begins in August!! It seems to get earlier and earlier in the UK.

Penguin123 Very, very annoying especially if the book is hard to replace or buy again. I have never read a book with the last page missing but I have got 3/4 way through a book only to find that a vital page is missing. Personally I would just throw the book away if it...

How do you like portugal?

tonoman445 @tonoman445 (9) • Portugal 1 Apr 10

To anyone who lives in portugal or visited portugal. What do you think of this country? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Is the food good? Places to visit are nice? How about the beaches on summer? Well I'll start to make...

Penguin123 Portugal is a great country to live in and also to visit. If you want to find a good restaurant look for one with lots of locals in. These tend to be the best and most are reasonably priced. Make sure you visit either a restaurant or hotel that has Fado Music...

Don't meddle please!!

arystine @arystine (1273) • Philippines 25 Aug 10

What irks me the most are meddlesome people. I dislike being bossed around and being told what to do. Especially if that person has no right at all--meaning the person is not a parent, family member, relative, friend, or lover. I...

Penguin123 If someone is bossy I ignore them and also avoid them. The person who has done wrong would then realise that he/she has overstepped the mark very quickly. Obviously it depends on the situation and environment.

Does Honesty Really Pay?

fish_pink_zoo @fish_pink_zoo (53) • Philippines 26 Aug 10

I'll always remember the day when as a child i found a pretty hair clip on the school playground. I brought them home, thinking they wouldn't be missed. But mom made me take them to my teacher. "They belong to someone else," mom...

Penguin123 I think it is better to bring up a child who learns the meaning of honesty and finds out the hard way if they find/steal an object that does not belong to them. As a child grows older dishonesty can lead to worse crimes being committed. If these crimes are...

Fixed Cats - - Need Help

mysticdragon999 @mysticdragon999 (112) • United States 25 Aug 10

I just got three of my cats fix, two of which were females and required stitches. They've finally gotten aware of everything and are now trying to clean themselves. Now, how do I stop them from cleaning the stitches or is there...

Penguin123 Buy a neck collar either from a vet or possibly from a pet shop. I'm surprised your vet did not advise you to have one, they are not expensive. Cats do not like them but if it is put on the neck fairly tightly they have to put up with the collar being on. Make...

She Thought It Was Funny...

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 25 Aug 10

...to throw a cat in a wheelie bin because she thought it would "wriggle free" and "is only a cat!" I think people (including me) will hate her even more after those comments. How on earth can a cat wriggle free...

Penguin123 Where I live many cats particularly kittens and dogs are dumped either in wheelie bins or at the side of a river. It is heartless to say the least! Many of the Portuguese do not look after their animals and sometimes dogs are left tied to a post in the middle...

Do you have a phobia? That is a constant and irrational fear of an object,

carpediem17 @carpediem17 (1315) • Singapore 24 Aug 10

activity or situation. A fear that leads one to avoid it (at all costs?). For example, speaking in front of a congregation of people, a fear of dark or heights, a fear of bugs .. the list goes on. So do you have a fear that...

Penguin123 My phobia is heights. If I am in an enclosed space at a height ie a cable car I am fine but if I am near the edge of a cliff or hill I cannot get very close to the edge. My legs always feel weak but I do feel that some of it is 'mind over matter'. If I do not...

Do you like to eat buffet?

asxenon @asxenon (1440) • Malaysia 24 Aug 10

Buffet, to someone that eat a lot might seems worth its money. But for most, buffet is just a waste of money. What do you think? Can you eat more than you pay for buffet? For me, i think it is not easy to eat more than you pay...
