Guinea pig's also known as Cavies are one of the gentlest, loving, clean and adorable pets you can care for. These timid creatures have grown in popularity over the last few years but not as much is known about pet guinea pig care as cats or dogs or fish which are more prominent. Luckily guinea...

This happened on Sunday, but today I'm looking for something to be happy about because last night, some very nice people in my breed from my state were killed in a car accident coming home from a show in California going through Nebraska on their way to Ohio. I've been devastated all day. So...

I have semi-sucessfully taught my dog a few of the basics (sit, stay, come, lay down) but he seems to only obey when he wants to... If there is the smallest distraction around, or something he doesn't want to do ("come" when he knows it means he will have to go in the car ) or even sometimes there...

I have bruises on my thigh from where Harriet kicked the hell out of me last night. She is and always has been an active dreamer. She whines, whimpers, and wuffles in her sleep. She also kicks and thrashes around. It doesn't usually wake me up, but last night, she poked me extra...

Harley that is... I"m loving this boy even if he is a scardy cat.... Bagel was not allowed upstairs due to his desire to pee... so we purchased a very expensive dog retention unit (read a $2.50 piece of press board) approximately 3 feet by 2 1/2 feet that I place at the base of the steps. Both...

It has come to the point where Gen and I need to find another home for Moogli. While nothing bad has happened yet, his attitude towards Emilie and Sofia is going downhill pretty quick. Physical problems have been eliminated, as he had an annual checkup not too long ago. If it was just me, or...

As far as my crew is concerned, the time has absolutely NOT changed. They are up at 4:00 a.m., want their breakfast at 5:30 and their supper at 3:30 thank-you-very-much. And tonight, when I got back from class at what is now 9:00 p.m., they all were sound asleep. Got them up, let them out, and...

Our local paper did a super job covering our agility trial last weekend: http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2008/11/02/dogs-compete-q-and-fun/ This paper is run by the Univ. of MO Journalism school, and we had two students running around all day. People were very accommodating with...

My family visited an 11-month old female lab who's owner is looking to find a new home for. She was extremely high energy - not sure if "hyper" is the correct word - but of course she's 11 months old, so it wasn't exactly shocking. But we also noticed a couple things that concerned us. The biggest...

Was wondering if anyone here might be able to help. My dog is a border collie mix. He is 15 years old and has bad arthritis. He still gets around OK but very stiff. He's on some meds for it that seem to help (Rimidyle?). Recently he started pooping in the house. Not just every once in a while...
