  • Training puppy problem?

    I have an adorable pampered Boston terrier, 12 weeks old, Housebreaking him has been challenging at the least, I recently purchased a dvd (the Dogfather set) and it included a training collar, sort of like a prong collar but plastic and much wider teeth, I tried it on my arm and I do feel an uncomfortable pressure but not really pain, the problem is that when I try to train my very smart puppy with it he cries, a lot, loudly, like we are killing him! He lays on his side hollering to high heaven! The DVD said he would do this as a dominance thing, however I worry! I checked his neck and it wasn't red or anything, I'm pretty sure I'm not applying too much pressure but I am confused, any ideas?

  • Boston Terrier Puppy eating too much?

    I recently welcomed a Boston terrier puppy into my home, he is about 8-10 weeks old and a true healthy happy bundle of joy, the problem is that he will literally eat himself sick! I have been feeding him high quality puppy food,at first I was letting him eat as much as he wanted but he overeats and then throws up, at the next feeding I tried feeding him ONLY according to the directions on the puppy food bag but then he keeps looking for more food as if he was still hungry, I never had that problem with my shih tzu (now elderly), she would just eat until satisfied but my little Darwin acts like a food hoarder, what should I do? Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

  • People before Jesus, how were they saved?

    I don't mean to offend anyone, I am sincerely curious, I do not follow any religion in particular but I do believe in a kind good God, now, my question is, maybe someone can explain it to me, If (according to christian belief) you can only be saved by accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, what ever happened to the many many many people who were born and lived BEFORE Jesus, what about those that didn't know OF Jesus till now, did they go to hell? Do they get to be born again and perhaps turn to Christ?

  • My kitten won't poop!!!!?

    I found a stray little Calico kitten the day before yesterday, I was told she is about 6 weeks, I nursed her with a baby bottle and some kitten formula the first day and then gave her some wet kitten food since (which she loves), she even learned to use the littler box right away but she won't poop! Her tummy feels full and hard and I have a vet appointment on Tuesday but I am worried sick she will die because she will not go number two, I did everything from moist Cotton ball to her little tush to sitting her in warm water, she just refuses to go, any ideas?????

  • Found a baby squirrel!?

    Hi guys, this morning my husband and son found a young (maybe baby) squirrel, it came to them and sat on my husband's boot, they fed it donuts and it ate quite a lot, it was just starving!,they waited to see if the mom squirrel would come get it but two hours later no mom anywhere so they brought it home, I was going to call a wildlife rehabilitator but can't find any in central Florida also I believe this is not a regular squirrel but someones pet, it is way too comfortable with people plus when my youngest placed a blanket in her box she just snuggled up and when to sleep, is this common? Any advice on what to do with the poor little thing?

    P.S: Just letting her go is not an option as very large hawks roam around our house (We live near the woods) and she wouldn't last ten minutes.

  • Disgusting Kitty? Desperate Help Needed!?

    I am babysitting my mother's 14 month old grey Tabby, his name is "Smurfette" (Yes, I know, she was sure he was female and named it that), anyway, my mom is gone for a month to visit my sister in another state and I am in charge of her beloved cat, he is a good kitty but lately has decided to pee and poop on my brand new $3,000 leather couch!!!! I haven't even finished paying that couch yet! I am desperate and need ideas, he has several litter boxes around the house and goes out all the time yet every chance he gets he pees the couch, I keep disinfecting it but he keeps doing this!, I don't want to keep him confined to our garage because he likes our company but I am a neat freak and I like tidy things, I can't stand this smell, someone said that this is perhaps because he is away from home or angry at any of our three cats (Two females one male) but they get along just fine and everyone is spayed and neutered, My mother will be back in two weeks but in the mean time I need to keep my couch pee-free, I am watching him like a hawk but I can't do this for two weeks straight, any suggestions?!?!?!?!?

  • Gators in my back yard!?

    We bought the house of our dreams and moved from NY, the problem is that behind our home there is a small lake with an island and in the lake there are 2 gators, one is 5 feet and fairly nice compared to the other one who is extremely aggresive and about 8 feet long, before they would swim away when they heard us in the yard but lately they are sunning themselves on our lawn and ignore us, I am so terrified of them I don't let my children out to play, I already called animal control twice and one trapper flat out refused to do anything unless I called him while the gator was visible (which is next to impossible) and the other brought a tiny stick with a piece of meat and a hook, the big gator ran away stick and all, he promised the gator would die from eating the hook, yeah right! Just yesterday the big gator attacked and ate a wild hog that was swiming in the lake, I am afraid my cats are next, killing gators is ilegal in FL, moving is not an option, any ideas?

  • Will the sun grow cold and die?

    I recently noticed someone stating that the sun will not grow cold, well, actually it will! Suns are stars and stars die, eventually our sun will start taking a redish hue (also know to astronomers as a arrogant star because of it's gorgeous red color) and will eventually die out leaving the earth cold and dark, and everything killing all forms of life, HOWEVER out sun is a young star and chances are we will be long gone when it actually burns out.

    Anyone worried?

  • Rude Service person?

    Hi guys maybe someone can give me some ideas,

    Today we had some work done in our home (electrical) and the individual that came to do the work (sent by a well known service company) was extremely rude and disrespectful using foul language in front of my young children, even spitting on our floor, it got so bad that I seriously considered throwing him out! We never had such an experience before and don't know how to complain about it, a friend told me to complain to the Better Business Bureau and maybe the company manager how can I voice my opinion to the head of the company (out of state), I want to sound good, any wording ideas?

    You get two last names, burn credit with one use the other!

    The Closet is all yours, his clothes fit on the Gavinet under the sink

    You can blame hours of shopping on wedding plans and a 60 pound weight gain on pregnancy, and people believe you!

    you CAN get pregnant, and feel life growing inside of you, men only feel gas

    If you flirt correctly service people do stuff for free or cheap.

    Our bathrooms have chatting (Men think we are actually there to pee).

    You make believe you need another bathroom less icky, but you actually want to get closer to the mall and bully your man into shopping all day, claims of lack of higiene are our TOOL!

    You can make your man do anything if you wear the right thong and say the right phrase.

    You can fake a female problem and stay home a few days a month from work, supervisor don't wanna know the details

    You can wear contact lenses, have plastic surgery, even increase your boobs! If a man does it he is called "gay"

    With the right pair of boobs you can own the world! We can stare at every man in the room and our husband won't notice.

    Your heels can make you appear taller, men need insole lifts!

    You may be moody but when you want sex you have a 99.9% of getting it, even if you just go out on the street and announce it, chances are someone will obligue! No need to beg, pay, cry.

    You always have female friends willing to examine everything you man did lately, both of you can get to the bottom of the most difficult to explain cases for free and without a profesional.

    You know stuff about color matching and we come prepared every were we go, while men to buy tiny bottle of shampoos at the corner store or brush their teeth with soap cause they forgot!

    You can get men to open jars, do the heavy lifting just by faking weakness.

    If it's the middle of the night most people will open the door to a woman than a man, we are non menancing!

    Your underwear comes in exquisit colors and fabrics (not to mention styles), plus playboy pays you to show your assets.

    You know how to fix, arrainge, clean and organize anything! You can fit a whole closet in a shoe bag.

    The divorce judge always goes in our favor, specially if we cry.

    We can blow our husbands entire paycheck and blame it on the hairstylist.

    We only have to shave our legs and underarms, and only once a week! The rest is OPTIONAL!

    You are asked by your husband to play with "his toys" all your life, you can be 90 and he still will want you!, Thank testosterone for that!

    You can be slim without being called punny, men can't!

    You get a diamond ring when you get married and never are suspected of being serial killers.

    WE can wear pants yet men can't wear skirts!!!!

    WE WOMEN ARE HAPPIER!!!!
