I am worried about my 14 year old cat, I just
discovered she had peed in her bed and has still
been sleeping in it after the urine had dried. I
had always thought that cats and dogs do not sleep
where they releive themselves.

    I know onions and garlic are bad for dogs, but, what about a few bites of Spaghetti, or something like that. I have a 98ib. yellow lab retriever and 40lb. Blue Heeler. I alwwats share my dinner with my dogs since it’s just me and them.

    We have 3 dogs and the youngest seems to have started having separation anxiety. We are never gone for more than 4 days and we have someone the dogs love and trust to take care of them. Anyway this last time was really bad. She has a favorite toy (a plastic chicken) and when we got home, everywhere she went she had this chicken in her mouth and she was whining the whole time. If we took the chicken away from her she got worse. She only let it go to eat and sleep. It got so bad, that finally, when she was asleep, i took the chicken away and after that, she was back to normal. I waited about 3 weeks and gave the chicken back to her and she was ok. What gives?
