Default What do you want from Pets in '08?

I posted a similar thread in Marriage that generated some response about the types of articles and topics people would like to see covered over there.

Since I had some response which has helped me assess things, I thought I'd do the same over here.

Choose an answer or leave a reply. Thanks!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! You and that Catzilla, Janet!

For you, I will definitely make it a point to look for cat training techniques for you to try.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer. Gives me something to research!! (Let's hope we can find a way to tame that crazy Catzilla now...)

Multiple pets, pet care, and behavior modification.

We have a little zoo....dogs, rabbits, cats, fish, mice, and a parrot.

Multiple pets affected us too. We had a rabbit who got on great with the first cat, but had to take measures to protect her from catzilla. And the neat thing is, that as long as she was in her cage, they were friends (although he would tease her).

The rabbit was my favorite excuse for why we could not own a python. (Now how would you feel if the python escaped and ate the rabbit?) Also, the fact that once Joe goes to college, guess who would wind up feeding it. (He actually ENJOYED feeding the one they had at school in sixth grade)

Having a peaceable kingdom is something that a lot of pet owners have an interest in. These animals don't connect in the wild, but they do in our homes.

When I move I want to set up an aquarium - and security from the cat will be a concern, of course.

How about ponds? How do people protect the fish and animals in their ponds from their own cats and dogs as well as wildlife?

Fantastic! Thanks so much ladies! You have sparked a bunch of great ideas I never would have considered researching on my own. I bet Aimee will also benefit from these and have some great suggestions to write on them.

Thanks so much for letting me know the kinds of things on your minds.
