    puppy has multiple symptoms - any ideas?

    First let me make it perfectly clear that I WILL be calling the vet as soon as they open but in the meantime I'm stressing out a little and just wondering if anyone has ever experienced these particular symptoms in their dog.

    Thinking about a new dog - need breed help

    We recently lost our oldest dog, but still have two female miniature dachshunds. One is very submissive, the other can be a bit scrappy with other dogs she doesn't know. We have just started talking about another dog and we're still in the discussion stages for sure. I've had mostly dachshunds...

    crazy chicken youtube video

    My husband has been having fun making videos on his Macbook. Here is one he made with pictures of our chickens. There are a couple of inside jokes that no one else will get, but it's still pretty good.

    Tips needed for taming semi-feral kittens

    A while ago we adopted a couple of older feral cats from a rescue group that places at-risk ferals as barn cats. We followed all the rescue’s instructions about keeping them in a large wire crate for several weeks to get them used to the place, etc. But when we let them out, one cat was never...

    Questions about Dobermans

    I know there are some Doberman owners on here, so I thought I'd try to get some opinions from you guys. My husband thinks he would like to get one. I have always admired the breed and have known some really nice ones (and also some not so nice ones). If we did get one, it would come from a...

    Horses not getting along

    Several months ago we bought a horse for our daughter. We had her boarded until our fence was up. Two weeks ago we brought her home. While she was boarded, she was turned out at night with three other mares and a gelding. She had a few skirmishes with the mares at first, but had no problems...

    Came back from vacation to a biting chicken - what happened?

    Before we left for vacation last week, my 15 week old Dominique girl was the sweetest thing. She was my lap chicken - my baby - very cuddly. When we came home, she started biting me - hard! Hard enough to leave bruises. When she was younger, she pecked at my hands some, but not like this...

    What type of latch is best?

    We are, hopefully, finishing up our coop this weekend and I need to buy latches for the doors. I keep reading that raccoons can open certain kinds of latches, but I can't seem to find where anyone says what those kinds are. And more importantly - what kind can they generally *not* open - aside...

    help with coop design

    We are in the process of converting our daughter's old wooden swing set into a chicken coop. The plan has been to close in the platformed slide area with the upper part (5 ft x 3 ft) being closed in all the way around with a wood floor and underneath (8 ft x 3 ft) closed in on three sides with...
