preparing for a baby
Posted to: News & Entertainment
My DH and I will be adopting a baby from Vietnam, we expect it to happen in the next 8-10 moths. Most of the books I have read talk about bringing the baby's clothers home from the hospital so your dog can get used to the smell of the baby before you bring it home. We won't have that option....

She claims to know a lot about snakes, but then asks me if its OK to house a ball python and a red tail boa together. NO! Then she tells me...

Posted to: Health & Grooming
I have noticed that my female Pomeranian (~4 months old) has lost some hair (or her top coat has shed, because the hair is shorter than the rest of her coat) along her spine. Is this normal? I know that they have to shed in order to get their adult coat but it seems too early for that? Maybe I'm...
