Kittens
I know they make smaller ones for rabbits and ferrets. One that size may fit a kitten. I think a leash is better than having a kitty get hit and killed by a car. If you take them out I would find a way to keep them protected. :)
I had kittens who did this, too. sm
Love my flat screen. One time a kitten laying on an older monitor puked on (and in) it and shorted it out. New monitor immediately. Love them, whatever they do.
Those kittens have a much better
chance of finding a good home if they are tame, which they aren't gonna be unless they are around people. Try and get her to keep them in the utility room since hubby already allows her in there and your girls can get them socialized so they can find good homes.
leash for kittens
Is there any collar/leash for very tiny kittens if you want to take them out and keep them from running in all directions? Or is it inhuman to put kittens on a leash?
From my experience with kittens - sm
It often comes from the food they are eating? Are you feeding her a good quality kitten food and no table scraps and no milk? Has she been checked out by the vet and dewormed? Those are the things I would look at first. It could be she just has a sensitive tummy, but you may want a vet to check her out. Oh, and congratulations on your new baby! Enjoy her. How fast they grow up! :-)
The kittens were booorrring. All they did was sit. nm

Question about my cat who recently had kittens.
She had kittens 7 weeks ago, and we gave them away at 6 weeks. They were eating kitten food, but still nursing just a little bit. Her nipples are really hard, almost feel like tumors, but not hot, red, or oozing. Is this normal? If so, how long should it last?
Actually last night they had a segment with kittens! Adorable. NM

Giving away kittens. Need advice on best approach.
I have four 9 week-old kittens that need a home. I found a good new home for 2 of them. Anyway, I have told the girls, ages 7 and 3, from the start that those kittens will need to be given away. However, they have both become very attached to the kittens. Anyway, the people are asking for them and is wondering when the best time to come get them. I don't know if it would be better for them got get the kittens when the girls are here or when they are at school. They are already getting under our cars and I am afraid they are going to get ran over. They can eat solid food and drink water. I still see mama cat nurse them though not as much as she used to. Any tips would be helpful.
The not so nice furry has had a litter of kittens
but age wise, not so sure about that. The people at the HS probably do not know also, she might have been a stray. I am really surprised she was out at the back of my house last night, out again today as she had only been here inside for such a short period. My coworker and I are going to get a trap from the shelter and get her fixed and hopefully then let her be happy as a mouser. I hate the fact she will have to be outside for awhile. My felines all inside, never out and not only dogs around but also cat eating coyotes and I am in the city limits. People here told to keep animals up.
Lab Puppies
I know there are a lot of animal lovers on the board here. I have a litter of Lab Pups for sale. They are 8 weeks old and last week I had no phone calls or e-mail about them. I have them in the local newspaper and Puppyfind web site and Next Day Pets website and gundogs online. Does anyone have any suggestions about where else I can advertise to get them good homes! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Puppies
Hi,
I have 3 yellow boys left and 2 red boys left. I live in Ohio! They are AKC registered with the first shots and wormings. They will be 9 weeks old on Friday August 8th.
Thanks

Found a live cam pointed at Himalayan cat w/kittens
Copy and paste this into your browser for a huge dose of cuteness!

(This is from that same site that does the live foal cams, but these folks have it pointed at their cat with kittens for a change of pace!)
Have the puppies arrived?
How are mum & pups doing?
I think puppies are so cute when they do that
looks like he was done in from play time and ready for some serious relaxation. How old do you think he is?
Precious puppies! nm
.....
Aren't those puppies the cutest!
I have a female Siberian husky who is the absolutely sweetest dog I have ever had. I'm sorry for your loss.
Some puppies just take longer, and some breeds S/M
are sometimes know to be more of a challenge. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Maybe your local animal shelter could give you some help on this issue. Just like kids, they are a responsibility and will sometimes cause you some aggravation, but the love and happiness you get from her will outweigh the training period, I am sure. 
I pulled 5 puppies the other day and guess what?
A lady had turned her Pomerarian in because she said was aggressive. I asked the lady who was with me if she wanted to pull that one also she said no, those were highly adoptable and so we left that one. The lady at the place said the dog not aggressive, just being the breed it is with the nipping and such.
I have lost puppies to parvo before
and some have pulled through. The dogs can literally get down and die overnight. One thing I can tell you is the fact parvo can stay in your yard for ever and ever. I never got rid of it in mine over say 10 years or so. Question to you, how old is your puppy and when you took to the veterinarian, was the puppy carried in or walked in? Sorry you have this problem and I will say a little prayer for the furry one.
oh but yes, they were very careful with screening all the applicants for the puppies. nm

Question about potty training puppies...
Please no one poke fun at my question... I have never potty trained a puppy before and have a few questions. I have a 12 week old Corgi boy named Cody.
How long does it take to potty train a dog. Is it 6 months or longer or should he have the idea down for the most part by age 3 months?
The one thing that I do not understand is why after I take him outside, he will go pee (it seems like he is completely emptying his bladder), I will praise right away, then we go back inside and 5 minutes later he dribbles on the carpet. I'm sure this is normal, but I am not sure what to do about it. Should I put him back in his pet crate immediately?
I know there are a lot of dog experts on this board... I appreciate any advice you can give.
Thanks! Melissa (and Cody)
Love puppies of all kinds! How precious yours must look

Lots of chewie toys, because puppies
like to chew. And I have seen Springer Spaniel calendars at either Borders or Petco.
Good - Rotties are cute puppies. Bad - they eat a TON, also I got knocked over by one and he fell o
I broke ribs and arm. His head alone was probably 30 pounds. I have a big guy now, lab/great dane, but Rotties are huge. Oh they slobber a ton. But I guarantee no one will come in your yard who is not welcome when he is there!
I've got a fullbred Jack Russelll Terrier = perpetual luny puppies! NM

Thank you! I didn't realize they made computer glasses. Will make an appt. Spit didn't wor

I didn't say her decor didn't sound great.
It's not ridiculous.
I would seriously doubt the Christianity of anyone who feels it is okay to celebrate Halloween. It is anti-God in every aspect.
You can only service 1 God and the folly of man and carnality is in direct conflict with holiness.
Thanks - I didn't realize they didn't like the smell of citrus
I have the feeling he doesnt have a UTI and he's trying to tell me something else, but I'll be taking him to the vets to be safe.
I didn't phrase that well. I didn't mean to SM
offend. I think I said that to other lady below!
I wouldn't want to be told that myself. I guess you sounded down. Again, if I offended anyone, I'm sorry.
I'm a channel surfer. Last night watched PBS documentary on Kennedy assasination, then PBS show on Dick Cheney. Yuck. Then watched show on stem cell research to cure paralysis. There were two young woman, both with paralysis, who were so inspiring. Watched another segment on Current about blind people using their voices to "see". That had to be seen to be believed. Anyway, positives offset the negative.
Again, sorry if I said anything out of line.
I didn't say she should sue them. I said that
her sister legally is obligated to pay for it. Me, I would have probably told her I was unhappy with her, learned my lesson and would have moved on.
If I was the sister though, I would have admitted my fault, at least partial fault, and made amends.
Yep, I didn't know that either. Thanks. :) NM

I really didn't know all of this.
thanks
She didn't come with us.

It must be because I didn't owe very much
I had my husband take extra out of his check every year and most of the time it's enough to cover mine too. Last year I owed under $100 as I made more than I planned. I am an IC and use my SS#. I don't remember how much you have to owe for the fine/quarterly taxes either, like Patti stated.
well thank you! I didn't know being in --sm
the 50 year age bracket was young, but I appreciate the comment! Maybe in 20 years I will be able to retire.
I can't believe the mom didn't take him to the ER...
Wow.
No, I didn't know that...but (sm)
I don't have Soapnet...so! But thanks for the update...
Do you know for SURE he didn't
make an effort to see you all these years?
My friend of 30+ was told by HER mother that her father was dead. Come to find out when she is her 20's he's not only alive and well, he's happy to meet her.
It's always a good thing to take what ANYone tells you with a large grain of salt.
As to how to approach him? I would find out where he works and send a letter there - that way it can't be intercepted by his wife. Alternatively, you could call him on the phone, but that option does not allow him time to absorb the news he's been "found" by you.
Provide all your contact information and ask him to at least meet/talk to you once. I would be very surprised if he does not grant your request.
I didn't know that!

no, I didn't mean all that *lol* - but your one
you said: Why don't we all learn Mandarin?
-----------------
you don't know HOW astute a statement/question that is!!! We all will have to know Chinese/Mandarin within the next 25 years or thereabouts....as China slowly takes it ALL over.....the world, that is...don't laugh or think I'm talking out of left field.... - Miami and Broward now offer Chinese and Mandarin classes in college.........the past few years....and then there are those subliminal fortune cookies...teaching us the Chinese or Cantonese alphabet......*ROFL*....but I'[m not really laughing.........
My Hispanic friends in Miami are speaking better English year by year, the longer they are here.....I stay out of the areas where they ONLY speak Spanish.....I'd be lost, as I only speak Spanglish.......Franglish, et al.
Yes, while in foreign countries, we speak their language and they all should be speaking English here but we cannot force it, unfortunately....hence, I learned some Spanish over the past decade and utilize it with English; hence=Spanglish.......*laughs* I think folks need to lighten up about language - we are all the same - we really are - just the amount of melanin in our skin or the slant of our eyes.....we all believe in the same G_d I do believe no matter what the name for G_d is......we all hurt, bleed, and die....it's all RED BLOOD....*grins*
Again, Tolerance........
HAPPY JULY 4TH :)
Of course, and I didn't even say that...
Just saying that not loving animals does not make one a bad person, simply put. I do not agree with the abuse of any living thing...animal or person, but people sure are more passionate about animal abuse than they are about child abuse...can I get an amen???
Can you believe I didn't get to see it!!
Work was backed up so I was doing extra, darn it! I bet it was a great show though. I hate these insurance companies refusing to pay for procedures, especially when someone's life depends on it. What mess. Something has to change, for sure.
I'm not the OP. Just didn't want to see...sm
The thread get out of hand is all. And I see that it hasn't.
Yes you can say what you think, it just sounded to me like you were getting ready to *pounce.* LOL
BTW, it isn't statuatory rape at 16 if they're both 16, so there would be no legal course for you to follow. You'd just have to try to keep them apart I guess. And good luck with that! Ahh, young love...
Ha, really! We didn't
get any T-shirts or anything, but I told my kids they could go to school on Tuesday (out tomorrow) and tell all their friends they went to the fair and got to see Hannah Montana's dad in concert! I've been looking for a good video or clip whee it shows how he used to do Achy Breaky Heart back when my husband and I used to go to his concerts (my choice of course), but all I can find is the original video, which doesn't really show a lot of the way he danced around! My kids are only 6 and 8, so it was really something big for them!
wow - didn't know there were that many of us
born and raised in WV - moved the other direction from you - KY - GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't say that did I?(nm)

Oh Wow. I didn't even think - this could be
mother Spears THIRD shot at a gravy train. It won't be long before they are pimping the new baby all over Hollywood too.
I didn't know that! (sm)
Since switching from DirecTV to cable (moved), I don't get Court TV any more :0( so I had no idea she had even gotten married!! Good for her!! And twins :-)
...thanks for the update...
I have one of those! I just didn't know its name...
It was something we got as a wedding present 10 years ago and I have not used it much. I kind of forgot I had it.
I didn't know either.
I googled internet abbreviations to find out what all the ShortHand meant.
