Hello! Have you thought about going to basic obedience training with your dog? That can develop a stronger bond between you and also give you more advice/info from the trainer and other dog owners. Our puppy Alexis whom we believe to be a dalmatian mix of some sort is currently in puppy...

I agree, maybe she may need another cat as a friend or at least as a confidence booster....i don't think our cat had that much confidence going outside until Alexis our puppy came and loved playing outside. I think getting a cat that is not dominant but gentle in nature would be good and also...

We have the same ordeal with our cat Abbigail. We have a puppy, Alexis, who goes in/out as well. Our cat loves to walk around and explore and eat grass outside as well, or roll in the dirt! I usually try to make a habit of shutting the door after letting our puppy out and if I leave it open...

Hello! what you are describing sounds much like our cat Abbigail, especially back when she was younger. She may only pick one person (probably picked out you) that she will trust and let in. I think she probably has developed some fears and anxieties that may never be 'fixed'. Abbigail is...

Hello! I agree with you about not feeling all that comfortable with letting a stranger into your home to pet sit your cat! Abbigail is a senior and very set in her ways, does not take to boarding at all...just to give you a hint, the one time she was very sick with some kind of flu or virus...

back when I was extremely broke and trying to take care of Abbigail after college I couldn't afford flea medication either. One of my best friends worked at a vet hospital and allowed me to come in and she sprayed Abbigail down with a spray...the fleas came out and were all over her face...it...

What cute signatures!! I used to give Abbigail baths whenever her fur would start to look "greasy" on her back and on the top of her head and also when she had dandruff but using the towelettes works very well and she loves it b/c she gets brushed afterwards (she LOVES getting brushed)...

okay, you guys are going to skin me...but I've left Abbigail (she will be 16 in january) home alone alot. Being a single woman until this year (I'm 32 years old) Abbigail was very used to it just being me and her since she was about 6 years old. When I was an Admissions Counselor at a college...

Congratulations! I used to be an Admissions Counselor at a College so I traveled alot, and at that time I was single so there wasn't anyone else around...at that time Abbigail was still a senior and really didn't mind having the house to herself...my landlords who lived right next door would...

yeah, I would be weary if I were you to use any sedatives or 'relaxing' medicine. A long time ago, I lived in Canada for a little while and took my cat on the LONG journey with me (in a vehicle), her vet prescribed her some kind of travel medicine and it was aweful, her eyes were dialated and...

Thank you everyone!!

Yes, that is a good point...what if I didn't see a deflated balloon in the crib or diaper changer and our baby puts that in their mouth! ugh!!! I do like the screen door idea, since Abbigail can climb over a childs' gate I'm sure. We would have to find a screen door that doesn't bolt into the...

thank you for the link! I've heard of a few of those things beforehand, sounds like some sound advice!

you would be surprised!! She can jump high still, she jumps on top of our dinner table and onto our sleigh bed...although she used to jump super high when she was younger. She seems to figure out ways to get up on things, mainly b/c i think she is curious and wants to see what is up there and...

Hello all! I'm new to this forum and thought I'd ask a question that is of interest to me! My husband and I are planning on having a baby this coming year (not pregnant yet!), this will be our first child. We have a puppy and a cat. Our puppy, Alexis, we are going to be taking to basic and...
