I wouldn't say you are being irresponsible. If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. I totally understand being torn between your heart and simply not having the finances. As far as the wound goes..keep it as clean as possible and just ask your vet what you could use on it..something over...

I'm actually thinking about calling the local news. I really can't think of anything else to do. I don't know if they'd be interested. However, from talking to Animal Control and our No Kill Shelter..I now know that there are no laws for cats here and no facility. Something needs to be done...

Hi All, Today when I recieved our "Communtiy News Letter" it stated that if we leave food out or in any way feed stray cats we could be asked to move. Well, there are strays all over the place here and I feed them. It started with ONE little cat that I was feeding and now there are cats...

She DOES look older than a month! She's beautiful! A talker,huh? Bassets are the most talkative dogs I've ever known. I can't imagine not having a Basset in my life. Riley is constantly "talking" to us...it's like having a full blown conversation when he gets going. She's going to be a beautiful...

Okay...sounds like a plan. Thank you for the advice! All of the dogs have seen her several times through the glass doors and they all come over and sniff my hands like mad when I come in from petting her, so they are getting her scent a bit. I understand that it will be a totally different story...

Poor little guy..I hope all goes well with him.

Thank you for your response. As I said in my post..I understand that we have to get her to the vet to have her checked out..for her well being as well as the well being of the animals inside of our home. What I'm wondering is..what's the best way to start introducing her to our household? I'm...

This link is from a thread on the boards..it should help you determine the sex of your kitty. I know it helped me to FINALLY be able to tell one from the other when it comes to kittens. My brother always told me girls had an exclamation point..now I understand what on earth he was talking about...

Reading about what happened to Bea made me cry. That's so horrid. She's a beauty! This may be really, really far fetched...but have you thought about maybe calling your local news or radio stations to get the word out that Bea needs a home. I mean if you can't find someone that you know that can...

Spirita, I see you have a ferret also! Here are a couple of pictures of Beru...she's about 5 months old now..in these pictures she was only about 7 weeks or so. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../sweetbaby.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...anotherone.jpg

Your cat is really pretty! I have a stray here that looks a little like her. My husband and I were petting her last night and I was wondering if she be considered a calico? Here are a few pictures..I'd love to know what her coloring is called. I'm thinking she probably isn't a calico...but I've...

I wasn't sure where to ask this question...I use Soft Paws nail tips on my indoor cat, but sometimes they fall off before I realize it and my couch ends up frayed. I'm wondering how to make a scratching post of some sort that my cat will WANT to use instead of the couch..and I'd be doing this...

Hi guys, I posted a bit about this kitty in another thread but figured this would be a good place to ask a few more questions. While feeding my neighbors very pregnant cat about a month ago (they don't take very good care of her and we are still feeding her plenty now that she is nursing the...

Awww....Everytime I see a Basset baby I want another one! Riley is now around 2 1/2 years and still acts like a baby. I love pretty much all dogs (dog person by nature I suppose) but there's something about the Basset Hound. Riley is communticates with me in a way that no dog ever has...I can't...

I know many have said this...but the dogs owner..regardless of who is or who he's related to has to be made responsible for his dog. I have three dogs and they aren't little things and there are horses in the field next to my home. My basset has actually gotten away from me and into that field...

Thank you for the compliment! And yes she does need to grow into those feet, I keep noticing how big those paws look on her. As far as keeping her around...I do want to. My husband was another story until he was the first to be able to pet her...we really do have a house full and a small home...

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet...in regards to the little one being constipated... I've had little ones that wouldn't go and when I'd take their temps (anal therm.) it would generally stimulate them enough to go. I don't know if you've tried this..but if you do make sure the...

Hi Krista.. Is that a Basset Hound I see on your icon?

Hello all, I've just joined and this section of the forums seemed to be the best place to make introductions. I am the mother of two wonderful kiddos (human ones that is) and we also live with Riley the Basset Hound, Paploo the Kelpie/Mix, Lando the Lab/Mix, Owen the Tabby and Beru the Ferret...

Here are a couple of pictures of the stray I posted about. Like I said she's pretty small and after looking at these pictures I'm even more confused. Poor girl needs a good bath and grooming. If there's any trouble with these links let me know. I may have gone a little overboard..but I tried to...
