Levitate posted:I'm saying get her dog taken away if it's attacking other peoples dogs and she refuses to control it This. There is a first time for everything and she might not have been any problems before, but as soon as she implies that this is a fluke and she won't stop bringing her dog, it crosses a line. AC isn't going to take her dog right off the bat, but it will put the incident on paper so that if her dog ends up injuring another she can't claim there wasn't any warning.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, similar to a 4H market project. If you are going to raise dogs for meat, why not give them an awesome puppyhood with a kid first?

WolfensteinBag posted:The allergens are released in saliva, too, so if the dog is drooly or licks a bunch it can make it worse. Barkers too, they aerosolize and project the saliva. A lot of people don't consider size either. A big dog with a lot of surface area is going to produce more dander than a small dog. That's what always irked me about people bringing in their goldendoodles for grooming, I'm sure there are nice ones out there somewhere but the ones we always got were giant "nonshedding" untrained morons that barked nonstop and slimed everyone within reach.

Canadian Bakin posted:The rescue group my husband and I got our cats from has raised the debate about asking for permission letters from landlords due to too many cats being returned or dumped. Currently they are denying all renters from adopting without letters from landlords and a number to call the landlord at. I would think that if your rental agreement says that pets are allowed, this would be sufficient. The rescue we got James from required landlord contact information and I think it is fair. It's like any good breeder making sure you are allowed to keep the animal you are trying to get. I am totally cool with pet fees, though I got lucky with a 50% deposit discount for being a vet student. For every good owner with well behaved pets, there is an owner that lets their dog eat the drywall and their cat spray all over the walls. It can be basically impossible to recoup cost from messy tenants that leave the place a disaster and don't have anything to sue for. It's a balancing act which isn't totally fair but that's life.

I am super excited! My fiance has given the okay for me to buy this beauty and stick it right in our living room. This is awesome considering that he grew up in a house where cat furniture was barely above knee and was relegated to the basement. He has been fabulously open to my crazy cat ideas  We are leaving for a big vacation like now, so I won't be able to get it for a few weeks, but wooooooooo! Lookit all those levels, it's taller than me

Fluffy Bunnies posted:If your cat is heavy at all, you're going to have to mount that thing to a wall. Gabe's got one about that high and he constantly dove to the top of it, wobbled around on it and rode it to the floor. It was mounted to the wall quite quickly. James is about 10 pounds, so not huge but not a light weight. I was planning on checking out how it does on its own and going from there. One of the reviews said that it was stable enough for a 16 pound jumper and another mentioned its stability, so I'm optimistic.

Skizzles posted:If my nearly 7-foot Armarkat tree is any indication, they're pretty sturdy. I think you should be fine with one cat, but better safe than sorry, etc. It took a lot of effort from two of my cats, about 10 lbs. each, going bonkers to knock theirs over. ChairmanMeow posted:I have a 16 pounds and a 12 pounder and a 7 foot amarakat, they run up and down like crazy and it's never gone over. Mine has like a rectangular base. It also has scratched the wood floor, I should have put some of those felt circles over the bottom screws. I've had it for a few years I think with no other problems. Thank you both for sharing. We have carpet with lowish pile, so no worries about scratching. The base is doubled and an octagon, I'm not sure how the shape effects its stability but the extra weight should be good. I am daydreaming about cat trees instead of packing.

I was bringing in groceries yesterday and met my new neighbor's brother and her dog. I still haven't seen her. Anyway, he was walking the dog and I asked if she was a vallhund. He was in total shock and blurted out, "HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" It was pretty funny. She was bouncing all over the place and my arms were full of groceries, so I didn't get to say hi properly. It was neat meeting my first vallhund though. OMGOMG my armarkat just arrived

James is currently eating some sort of enormous black fly that snuck in. Next he will meow for 15 minutes, presumably because it tasted bad. I think he is one of those ethical, must eat what I kill sorts of hunters. He never looks like he enjoys it, but he is a freaking bug hoover.

I have had good luck using a zoom groom followed by a slicker brush. The zoom gets out loads of hair, but you should use it outside if you are able because it flies everywhere. The slicker helps neaten things up and pick up all the hairs that the zoom left wafting over your cat.

HookShot posted:It turns out Terra has allergies, she'd been scratching for a while so we took her to the vet. We don't know what she's allergic to (her food hasn't changed, she's been on Blue Buffalo for ages and hasn't really had any environmental changes) but so she got put on prednozone, antibiotics and a special skin shampoo. The fact that nothing is new is no guarantee that it isn't the culprit. Dogs can and do develop allergies to foods that they have eaten for ages, so it would be worth mentioning trying a limited ingredient diet to your vet. Hopefully you can find a solution that involves less urine!

I know that I've said it before, but I gotta remind you guys, my cousin believes that neutering is immoral and literally bought her 13 year old chihuahua a weim/GSD puppy to be his bride and plans on finding spouses for any puppies she decides to keep. And no incest because dogs know that's icky right?

How does some retarded made up gait that exists for literally no reason become something that people actually give enough of a poo poo about to ruin an entire breed over. How can they become so obsessed over such a specific and pointless thing that they can look at a dog that is seriously too crippled to walk and say "yep, looks good!" How. I assume it's the same thing that compels people to put corrosive chemicals on their horse's feet for fancy walkin.

Radio! posted:So there's a ~grooming center trainee~ position open at a Petco near my house. I have no grooming experience, but I do need a job. I worked as a bather at Petsmart. I don't know exactly how is compares to Petco though. It was DRAMADRAMADRAMA basically all the time with a really high turnover rate. If you are a spectator, it is actually pretty awesome. I am the kind of person that can be a concerned ear for all involved and an E/N addict, so there was entertainment value for me. I would not get actively involved in it though. You need to be comfortable working with morons and handling customer service. There are some really awesome opportunities to work with great regulars, but there are also some customers that just aren't happy unless it's free. It feels super awesome to get your first loyal customer that refuses to see anyone but you. As long as you can take the good and the bad, it isn't too awful for a while. I wouldn't want to work there long term, though. Asstro Van fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Oct 23, 2012 |

Re Cookie Chat, keep in mind that onion and garlic are toxic. Adding onion or garlic powder isn't a great idea and make sure to check for it in the baby food as well. A little isn't the end of the world, but why bother adding it if the risk is real and the benefit is minimal?

Fraction posted:I take my dogs to a field that is, TECHNICALLY, affiliated with a local school--but which I've seen kids on a handful of times, literally, over the six years or so I've lived here. You are seriously complaining about not being allowed to walk/exercise your dog on property that clearly posted that they don't want dogs walked there? You are basically trespassing with your dog 20 times a week and you think it's okay because the school hasn't put up more aggressive signs? The police probably wouldn't do much, but it is entitled as gently caress to know they don't want you there and still get huffy when they reiterate it in person.
