So what do you think of owning a pet (or what do you think of people who own them) that is less common like a tarantula, scorpion, snake, some lizards, roaches, mice, etc?
And what is the most odd, exotic, or "taboo" pet you've seen?

I am not in this situation or anything, but I was just thinking about it. If you are married, and have pets together, what happens when you get divorced if both parties want the animal? Do they have joint custody, or is one person awarded full custody and how do they decide who gets the pet?

We live on the east coast, and will be moving to Arizona within two years. We have a lot of pets (cats, dogs, chickens, approx.40 total animals) to move with us. I want this as easy and painless as possible for the animals. Flying them is out of the question. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

peeboo6es2003 asked:
I got a male pit bull, and my husband has a old cat. When I got my pit he was 10 weeks, and he tried playing with the cat, and it is a very mean anti-social cat & it would bat & hiss at my puppy. At that time he was smaller than her. Well now a days she is our doors most of the time, but when my dog sees her, he will run after her and run over her, bark, and nip at her although I've never seen him actually bite her. My husband is balming it all on the dog, but I told him that it's in pit bull's nature to be animal-aggressive as they were bred to fight animals. And isn't it normal for dogs to chase cats anyways? He seems to think my dog should be calm & leave the cat alone 100%. anyone know anything about this?

Lola B2384 asked:
last week i noticed that our normally hyper and sir barks a lot as i like to call him was very weak and not eating, i asked a question about what he could of been suffering from the night before i took him to the vet, and couldn't get what i was searching for, the morning of his vet appt. he had left really loose bloody diarrheaa in his kennel that smelled horrible like death, but when i took him to the vet he told me that he didn't have parvo and he thought that it might have been poisoning,not getting any answers from the horrible vet( which i will not go back to) so i brought him home and gave him sub-cutaneous fluids, and fed him baby food for the first night then boiled hamburger and rice, so almost overnight he was back to normal, he does bark a lot and we've had a anti-barking collar on him for about 6 weeks now, which it still does not stop his barking, so i was wondering if Poison can do this to a dog? I have a strong suspicion that it was poisoning because we have really loser neighbors and we are actually in the process of moving out, charlie is too big to leave indoors and idon't want him to be poisoned again if it is poisoning, does anyone have any anti barking tips and what could have caused this besides poisoning which i already suspect and parvo which was ruled out by the vet.

What do your pets do when you get in the bed?

lauren london asked:
I have 3 cats and the youngest always comes running from wherever he is at in the house when he hears me turn on the fan and jumps right in the bed with me. It's sooo cute. The others will eventually come and run across my head while I'm sleeping or wake me up in the morning, but my youngest definitely has them beat in this category with his antics.

I have a puppy from Adelaide being flown up to the pilbara today. He has a stopover in Perth for 30-35 minutes. What will happen to him there? Do they store the pets in air-conditioning, are they fed? Looked over to make sure they are ok? Are they given water?
