dogs..

maemaemae @maemaemae (341) • Philippines 17 May 07

do you let your dogs run around the house or you tie them or put them in a cage? which is better for both the dog and the owner?

RunningBlind Which is better completley depends on the person and probably the dog. I've had dogs all my life and we always let them have free run of the house without any of these weird issues people have nowadays like chewing furniture.

RunningBlind I never said all overweight people were lazy and out of shape. I assume she is because she is like 220lbs and looked tired and worn out at 3pm in the afternoon. She looked about 16 or 17yrs old, so unlikely she is going to school to be a vet. Not that going to...

RunningBlind Thanks for the welcome. People tend to do more than just speak without thinking, many do go out and buy the dog based on the looks. She probably hasn't done the research and probably won't; just like so many people do. Just the way she said it and the tone...

Cutting Fido's nails...

prestocaro @prestocaro (1251) • United States 8 May 07

Do you do it yourself? Do you ask the vet to do it, or the groomer? How often? My dog, Mojo, has very fast-growing nails. We're going to trim them for the first time tonight. Any tips? I've got one, from my mom: if you clip to...

RunningBlind Oh and the best clipper to use is the one with the hole where the dog's nail fits right inside the hole and cuts it. The regular style clippers can make it too uneven and sharp.

RunningBlind Start with the white nails and don't cut too close to the pink (which is what will make it bleed)You don't want to cut it that short anyway because it'll make it more sensitive..kind of like if you bite your nails and you bite them down to nothing..at a...

Do you "buckle up" your pet?

firecracker @sacmom (14192) • United States 8 May 07

This may seem like a silly question, but do you buckle up your pet while in your vehicle? Buckling up can be with a type of restraint or in a carrier. Or do you simply let your pet have free rein of the vehicle?When my husband was...

RunningBlind One dog goes in one of those plastic travel cages because he hates the car as it is and for some reason it's less scary for him in there. The other wears a harness that attaches to the safety hook thing that's used for car seats. I think people who don't...

Why click on ads for a couple cents?

spreadingtheword @spreadingtheword (643) • United States 7 May 07

Clicking on ads for a couple of cents can add up over a month or so, but why not complete free offers and maximize the amount of time you put into these sites? Sure, some of these sites ask for your personal information like phone...

RunningBlind I did that before and it just wasn't worth it. Click a link then spend 1 minute on the site pretending to read it and only get like 1/4th of a cent per link. They spammed my email to death and some sites even came with some nice spyware that was always fun...

Anyone have a Beagle?

RunningBlind @RunningBlind (21) • United States 7 May 07

Is it possible to ever teach these dogs to come immediately when called or will they always stand there and stare at you for a minute? It drives me nuts!

RunningBlind It's after the command though! Me: "Come on!" Dog: *duhhhhh* 30 seconds later *mad dash with tail wagging* I hate it! Now that I think about it, I know a Vizsla who does the same thing.

RunningBlind I looked into it once. I'm not sure how you go about doing it. The ads you find online are scams and do nothing but spam your email to death.

Dog's behaviour, when away from you

gharghot @gharghot (9) • Estonia 7 May 07

RunningBlind I've never really had to leave my dogs. But if I did, I'd worry more about the worst thing the dogsitters would do to my dog. lol Feed something he can't have, not watch him good enough so he ends up roadkill. etc.

What Do You Think When You Think Greyhounds?

resa77 @resa77 (51) • United States 6 May 07

I currently own two greyhounds and do "Show and Tells" for the local greyhound adoption group because of the many misconceptions about greyhounds as pets. Please help me out by telling me what are some of the first things you...

RunningBlind I don't know much about greyhounds other than what they look like and that they're used for racing. Or that in general they're "good dogs". The turn off for me would be "hounds". I'm not really into hounds even though I love my Beagle. I prefer herding...
