I know caffeen is bad for dogs, but my dog loves the smell of coffee. She goes nuts when I come home with a cup of Dunkin!! I was wondering if it would be a problem if I baked her some plain dog cookies using a cup or so of decaffinated coffee in place of water? I guess the overall amount would be on cup of decaffinated coffee split up amongst 40 – 50 cookies. Thanks!

I am looking for something that I can do that I will love and enjoy. I love animals most of all dogs and theres nothing like having babies to take care of. My mother in law breeds exotic bird and I know that she loves it, I just need some great web sites to look at and some starter tips. What do I need? How much do shots and registered papers cost? Where do you buy breeding dogs? How many pups can a small breed of a dog have in one litter?

Thinking of buying a pet rabbit or rodent? When making your choice, consider the animal’s temperament, how long it will live, and what space and equipment you will need to provide.

1) Rabbits

The fluffy and loveable rabbit should ideally be bought and kept in pairs, as they do tend towards loneliness and depression if left alone for too long. Rabbits need a lot of space and safe outdoor access, but they can be litter trained and do make good house pets providing that all electrical wiring is covered.

2) Guinea Pigs

A native of South America (where they are eaten) the sociable guinea pig is best kept in groups, but not with rabbits as used to be normal practice. Although prone to disease, they are less likely to become sick with proper diet and housing. Usually housed outdoors, although not a necessity.

The facts

3) Rats and Mice

Rats are intelligent and interesting to watch, but need more space than mice. Because they are so easily-tamed, mice are always which are better for smaller homes. Keep in pairs or groups but separate genders to avoid a population explosion.

4) Hamsters

The most common type, the Golden or Syrian hamster, comes in a variety of colours despite its name. They are more active at dawn and dusk and require careful handling. They are often happy to live alone and will hibernate if the room temperature drops below 10°C.

5) Gerbils

Bright and inquisitive pets known as escape artists. Unlike many rodents, they are active during the night and day. They need careful handling to avoid undue stress and should be kept in single-gender pairs or groups.

I have a great dane and am getting a small dog (12 pounds). He is very considerate of other dogs when socializing. But- just in case I would like to ask anyone who has a big dog and small dog how they got there big dog to be considerate (not step on, not bite, and to be easy playing) of the small dog. I would like to know about how people taught their big dogs that. Also I would like to ask how to introduce a big dog to a small dog. We are getting our small dog second, since we already have a big dog. Does that make a difference? Thank you.
