I don't usually Read more

Readers, wheatleyvi needs our help! Her cats have become territorial and are spraying inside: I have indoor cats that I let out when possible.

After sharing Brian Patrick Flynn's five decorating pet peeves on Tuesday, I got to thinking about decorating pet peeves that aren't so much about taste or aesthetics but based on habit and irrationality. One example of mine is blinds. I hate blinds. I don't hate the look of blinds, per se; some I find quite lovely. But for the life of me, I can't stand to have my blinds down. I think this goes Read more

Readers, workerbee1000 needs your help! Her pup is losing hair, and she doesn't know why: I've got a 7-year-old brown female Boerboel which has been a well groomed beautiful dog for most of her life.

Readers, OhMaxine needs our help with her overexcited pup! My dog is a jumper . . . and weighs 90 lbs! Ouch! Any advice for a husky/shepherd mix that is now 1.5 years old? She is a female and was the largest out of her puppy litter. She is the sweetest girl. She gives kisses all the time, loves people of all ages, and other dogs.

Readers, I need your help! Here's a question submitted by PetSugar reader vivalacara in the Pet Peeves group: I love my new dog, Asher. My best friend almost ran him over on a busy highway and got out and called to him. He ran right up to her, and as he got close she saw how dirty he was. He had over 30 ticks, the size of quarters, he was so dirty! She cleaned him and got rid all of the ticks. We Read more
