My daughter's dog is staying with us and he is so depressed, he misses her so much. Usually we can get him excited with the other dogs but he's just not willing to play today. Any suggestions?

As a writer, which is more important, making money or recognition of creativity?

familyguy @familyguy (17) • United States 9 Aug 08

uwiniwin A writer will write whether the money is coming in or not. He/She feels happy just by writing. But if you are really an inspired writer, fame and name is not far away. Also, there have been extremely gifted writers who wrote for money to make their living....

uwiniwin That is so sad. Animals do have an unpredictable streak in them. Yes, dogs tend to be territorial also. Since we cannot understand their psyche, we face unpleasant situations. One would advise about keeping dogs and other animals/birds away from dogs... but...

Does your dog like ice?

Reesers @Reesers (1387) • United States 3 Jul 08

Awile back I was filling a cup with ice from the ice maker on the front of the freezer. One cube missed the cup and landed on the floor. My dog, Zoey, quickly picked it up and spent the next few minutes crunching on it. Since then...

uwiniwin Yes, they do love ice. In summer fill his bowl with ice cubes or better still place a conveniently sized block of ice in his water bowl. He will love to lick that instead of drinking plain water. For more tips on dog care visit

uwiniwin You said it! Writer's block it is. I get great ideas and when I try to write them down..... I cannot seem to think at all. I can write consistently only when someone gives me a deadline.... It is so tough to motivate myself to write on my own!
