Haven't been around here for a while, but I wanted some advice from fellow dog owners. My husband and I are purchasing a home and I noticed there's a coral tree in the back yard. It's a beautiful tree but I'm reading on some sites that the seeds, leaves, and bark are poisonous. I can't find...

That toy does not belong to you Tyrion! That is a cat toy! He's much more of a bad puppy than this but I just never get photos of his worst behavior. ;)

I have absolutely no desires to get another dog any time soon, but that could be because Tyrion is still a puppy, and is quite a handful. I can't even imagine having two of him! :p I totally understand the feeling though. I've had kitten fever really bad recently because my two cats are so...

Migraine maybe? I have a friend who gets migraines with auras and that kind of sounds how she describes them. The kind I get are pain + nausea + light sensitivity but apparently you can have none of those symptoms and just crazy visual things happen instead.

When I was trying to lose weight, I stopped weighing myself regularly because I found it discouraging. Now that I'm down to a healthy weight I tend to do it a couple times a week, to make sure I stay there. Not so much out of fear of weight gain at this point but rather the opposite. The way...

I have 2 cats, both a little over a year old. I was always a "dog person" too but have become quite fond of cats since getting these two. :) Toys and a scratching post are a requirement. Specifics will depend on your cat. I know some cats are happy to spend most of the day laying in sunbeams...

I think it probably depends on the dog. Like you said, some do great eating the same thing. Some develop food sensitivities or get bored. I'm personally a big fan of rotating personally, because I think it helps stave off boredom (I wouldn't want to eat the same thing every day and I know...

Ah yes! And cardboard boxes. No good cat home is complete without them! I swear one of my cats loves bags and boxes more than any other thing I buy for them. I bring a new toy home in a bag or a box and she ignores the toy and goes straight for the container.

I didn't realize I wanted a dog collar with a bow on it until now. Thanks Fran. ;) I've been eyeing so many things I don't need today. Was looking at Buddy Belts earlier. I told myself his current harness is fine...but if I happen to see them at the pet store next time I go I may just...look...

Yeah, I definitely don't mind breeders being cautious! I think that's a very good thing. It wasn't the form-letter reply that put me off (I was glad to see this person was careful in who they sold to), it was the lack of any further reply after I offered more information about myself and my...

So if there is an issue it'd probably be with doing them in the same meal? I was thinking of doing kibble+canned for breakfast, and raw for dinner.

Weird weather everywhere indeed lately! It's pouring and thundering in LA right now, where dry weather is the norm. I love it, as I love the rain, but it's weird because we haven't had a storm like this in a long time!

I've only had two poms so that's probably not a good sample size to judge them all by...but as a breed they seem to be "drama queens." ;) Tyrion's barking at thunder as I'm typing this post. Yesterday I dropped the end of his leash when I brought him inside after a walk, and he flipped out...

This is something I've been interested in doing as well. I already feed my cats partial raw, so I'm not sure why I've been so wary about doing it with my pom. I'm sorry if this is a super old overdone question...but I see a lot of people in this thread feeding kibble with raw. Is this totally...
