    neighbor extremely upset -- looking for solutions

    I gotta say something here...It is not the dogs fault he/she is barking. It is an instinct. The woman that owns the dog can get the same if not better results w/ training than using a barbaric shock collar (I hate them). My friend put one on her dog and he went from being a super fun, happy dog...

    Morning sickness questions

    This helped my sister when she was prego. Couldn't keep a sip of water down sometimes. Raise the head of your bed 4 to 6 inches and put pillows under your knees and/or small of your back depending on what feels good. If you have a favorite perfume or essential oil dab a little under your nose...

    BAD day!

    All my siblings had braces. I was lucky and did the retainer deal for 2 or three years. It isn't so bad. You will lisp a little at first. Hope your day gets better hon.

    Anyone got a sprinter?

    Loretta will sprint just for the heck of it. Like she is playing. She will wipe out at a corner at times-hilarious.

    Change in pecking order?

    Thanks guys. Dolly is brave w/ folks who visit. She is very protective of her domain. Fans her tail and like sashays sideways when she doesn't like someone in her space. With Loretta she is a total wimp. I guess that is how it works. I have been wanting to get a harness for walking them. A cat...

    Change in pecking order?

    Good post-I was kind of wondering the same thing about changes in the pecking order. Loretta is alpha chix. She snips at Dolly, pulls out head feathers and won't let her eat. I worry that she is not getting enough nutrition. I give them everything in the world to eat, good for them foods...

    A new friend for a cockatiel!

    You could adopt a Lovebird or Parrotlet. They both are smaller parrots and would be good company in a cage near by. I had a Quaker Parrot, Pepe, may she rest in peace. She was a plucker and I couldn't cure her of it. I lost her at 8 years. Anyway, I bird sat two budgies and Pepe would try and...

    Dexter can't see

    Awe, Dexter is so cute. I trimmed my Polish girls "hair" w/ rounded edge nose hair trimmers. I did it by myself but should have had someone hold her-she is a squirmer. Make sure she has no blood feathers in the area you are trimming. Blood feathers will have all or some of the keratin casing and...

    Indoor chickens?

    I have my two in the Florida room/porch. I put them in their tractor outside supervised during the day. I occasionally let them in our great room (kitchen-dining-living area) which is all tile. I agree that it is coo-coo crazy to do this. It involves lots of clean up everyday all day. I keep...

    Daphne is dead...

    So very sorry. She was a beautiful girl. Like the others said don't feel guilty. I think a short quality life of being happy is better than a long unhappy life. She liked to be free and wander around. With me it is always such a tough decision to clip wings. Again, I am so sorry.

    How long does molting take?

    My Cochin, Lo, was in molt about 2.5 weeks. My Polish, Dolly, started a little after her and she is still losing some feathers-it has been about 4 weeks now. They both stopped laying eggies during molt. Lo is back at it. Dolly seems a little tired. trying to get her to eat more protein. She is a...
