I named my first animal at 5. His name was Colorpaws and he was a barncat. In my defense his paws were grey and white. My dad named the cat that came with our property- Mousebreath. After I bought Apple I had no idea what to name him. I liked Buddy or Charlie but they didn't fit. On the road home there was a sign for an apple maggot quarantine. Apple fit because he was from the country...and it fit him perfectly. Riley came with her name and it fit her as well

Apple HATES when I fart. If he is anywhere near me when I do it, he will get up, give me a look of utter disgust, and move a few few away. I have never heard of a dog hating farts. Dogs are supposed to love stinky smells.

Here is something happy: Apple killing a kleenex. Derp This is the only toy he will play with. He doesn't eat any of the pieces thankfully. We first discovered him doing it a year or 2 ago and I started encouraging him to do it because it was so drat funny. He roots around in the trash bin by my side of the bed for tissues. Once I heard him growling so quietly while killing it I've made it into a sort of game. After I use the kleenex to wipe away eye boogers I let him have at it. I think he is happy he doesn't have to sneak around doing it now.

Didn't know there was such a thing as dog brownies. Riley is shedding quite a bit right now. I really thought I had a brush for her, but I guess I haven't gotten her one yet. What would be the best option for getting all the loose hair off a tiny chihuahua? I am concerned that most brushes would be too big and not very useful for her. Should I be looking for something for a cat?

paisleyfox posted:I forget, how long haired is Riley? Personally, I like zoom grooms and a shedding rake, but definitely look for toy dog/cat sized. Riley has a very short coat. Sorry, I should have mentioned that. I think I'll just get a furminator. I had one when I had my cat and I loved the thing. I assume there is no difference between the one meant for cats vs the one for dogs? I will want to look at it before I buy it obviously, but if there isn't one small enough for dogs I guess I'll go with the cat one? Skizzles- that really sucks Is there a chance that the daycare dogs could catch the parvo from the puppies? If a dog has been vaccinated, can they still get really sick? God, if I was a customer there I would be pretty upset. I would be so worried about my dogs catching something. It seems odd to me that the cats also were sick. Is this common for rescue groups or were the animals just not tested when they were first brought in?

Yeah, I would be telling the owner of that dog that their dog is being abused and to go somewhere else and then just walk out and never come back. I understand why you are so frustrated. I wouldn't put up with that poo poo. But then I don't have a baby.... You deserve better and so do these dogs and their owners.

I would occasionally watch the pit boss and I thought shorty rossi was pretty cool. But then I added him on my fb and he posts pictures of his pets. His dogs are all fat and he takes HORRID care of his pet birds. They are all in tiny cages...all sorts of finches, parakeets, tiels, parrots too. And they all eat a seed diet. I actually responded to one of his pictures that he needs to read up on bird care... So yeah, I think he is an idiot now. But Hercules is pretty cute.

Horrah for Moses and Frankie! uggghhh you guys. A local pet store just recently closed. Its been in the area for many years and it was the closest pet store to where I lived growing up. It is very very very awesome that it closed because it was a horrible place with too many birds in one cage and sold puppies etc etc. It is sort of a big deal because a few months back the owners of the store went bankrupt (or maybe it was the landlord???) Either way the IRS shut it down. Although the store was closed to the public, supposedly the employees still came by once a day to feed the animals, but the evidence is mounting that the animals were abandoned for up to a few weeks. 4 days ago the landlord changed the locks, owners were like "oh well, can't get in to feed the animals not my problem anymore". Landlord enters building, finds lots of dead animals (don't really know what/how many yet). People and rescue groups come in, take in/buy remaining animals. Landlord opens store for a few days to sell off the rest of the crap inside. My bf and I went by, just to see what they had. I mostly wanted to see it one more time before it was gone. Yes, it was a poo poo hole but some of my earliest memories about animals were from this place. The bf works for a local news station so he has been updating me on what's been going on. It is frustrating at the moment because not enough info is available (and credible) to be reported on yet. The facebook comments are definetely a thing. I know some of what is being said from people that are helping with the animals are probably true, but the majority of the comments are "my dog came from there it died of parvo why didn't anyone do something" or "[local animal control/welfare] knew about this I called 3345 times a day to tell them about how terrible this place was for 10 years its their fault this happened". I basically started calling everyone an idiot because telling them that animal control can't just shut down a store because 1 dog died of parvo or too many birds are in a cage or something. Besides, no one knew this was happening, even the businesses right next door. The important thing is that many animals are in the care of rescue groups or at vet clinics. My main concern is for the parrots and other birds. There were many macaws, amazons, greys etc and I really worry about their condition. Also, there was a rumor of someone breaking in and stealing a cockatoo? Story if anyone is interested

I am also very happy about Frankie. A while back someone posted about a (GSD?) puppy that had a brain that was slowly rotting away or something like that. I ended up adding the rescue group to my fb because they are on the other side of the state from me and the lady takes in some interesting cases. Anyhow, a dog came in to the rescue yesterday I think. It is a very small husky puppy that was pulled from a shelter somewhere and send up to Vancouver WA. Someone (shelter staff maybe?) thought the dog was blind and deaf so that is why she was sent to the rescue. That wasn't the case at all. She is able to see and hear. However, it turns out that she has the worst case of Wobbler's Syndrome their vet has ever seen. My understanding is that somehow her skull isn't attached to her spinal cord??? I have no idea how this is possible and how the dog is holding her head up. There is nothing they can do for her and she will be put down. Poor thing is in severe pain. Vet/science people, how is this possible? Is this genetic/from poor breeding or something that just pops up randomly? http://www.facebook.com/PandaPawsRescue501c3 Oh, they also have a nearly 4 week old puppy that the mother abandoned and is being bottle fed. Its parents are brother and sister because the idiot owners didn't fix their dogs

Found this on fb. One of the local shelters brought one of their dogs over to a school to teach the kids some stuff. The look on this dog's face is priceless. He will never be this happy again. Makes me think this is how Frankie looked when he got out of the yard and that little girl found him

I'm sorry you had to deal with a total asshat, Pew. It's good for me because when I get into a heated situation with a jerk, I end up crying because people yelling at me reminds me of my father so I basically just shut down. I do get overly angry, but there is just Too Many Emotions for me and my brain overloads. I'm sure I've said it before but when I was working at Petco we had someone abandon a darling giant fluffball of a cat and we didn't notice until like an hour later. People suck, and you need to know what situations to keep yourself out of. The good that can come out of this is that you now know you can't work around animals because you care about them too much.

ChicNitty, I assume you guys don't have a cat door or anything? Maybe it had some sort of freakish talent for breaking into people's houses and eats all the food and somehow gets out without being caught? What I don't understand is how a fat animal could be stealthy. Did you take any photos of it? I want to see how fat it was. I mean, I've seen morbidly obese squirrels at zoos and parks but I have a hard time seeing anything larger getting that fat.
