She doesnt give any information, she hasnt send me the divorce judgement, and never answer my questions, I live abroad.Hi, could you please advice me, my lawyer has been unfaithful to me, where should I file my complaint?
Your third answer is your best bet but only if she has failed to deliver the conditions of your contractHi, could you please advice me, my lawyer has been unfaithful to me, where should I file my complaint?
Get another lawyer and sue for breach of contract and file a complaint with the state bar association in the state she practices law in.
Then get another lawyer to take over your divorce.
Is the lawyer in the US? If so, report her to the state Bar Association for whichever state she is practicing law in.
File a complaint with the Bar Association in the state she lives in for unethical practices.

Do protesters received money from interest groups? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
In other words, do they get pay to be protestors?
Thank you so much.Do protesters received money from interest groups? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
You are not asking for advice, you are merely asking a question.Do protesters received money from interest groups? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
yes they do
Yes, I'd have to agree with '; some do, some don't ';.
Some do. Others do not. It depends on the group organizing the protest, and the individual protesting.
I'm just guessing here, but I would say...
- People who just turn out to protest generally would not get any money.
- People who help coordinate protests by larger groups get at least some compensation... it might be just travel expenses, or it might be an actual salary for someone in the higher levels of an organization.

I Need Professional Advice On How Do You Know When It's 'Time' To Euthanize Your Dog ?
We have a 17yr. old Collie / Shepherd mix . She's had arthritic problems in her hips for about 3 years and now has even more problems . She's having great difficulty getting up from a laying position and many times we have to help her . The vet says she also has muscular trouble too , because sometimes her legs slide-out from under her when she's standing or walking , especially on smooth surfaces .
She seems happy though . She's alert and responsive , but it's killing us to watch her struggle to walk and even get up on her own .
What Can You Tell Me To Help ?I Need Professional Advice On How Do You Know When It's 'Time' To Euthanize Your Dog ?
Follow your heart, my friend. It will not be easy!I Need Professional Advice On How Do You Know When It's 'Time' To Euthanize Your Dog ?
Earnest--
Have you tried a daily does of aspirin? (Not Tylenol or Advil--5 gr aspirin) If that doesn't do the trick--ask your vet about rimadyl. If she is happy, alert and responsive do what you can to make her comfy. Swimming is great exercise for her and helps the joints too (if she likes water).
We have a 5 year old golden retriever (we 'acquired' last year) who was abused as a pup. His knee joints were damaged due to the abuse and for lack of veterinary care--they never healed properly--so he has great difficulty get getting up--sometimes he needs our help. We do the aspirin thing daily. He is VERY cautious on the kitchen floor--the only room not carpeted for the same reasons. If he lies down in the kitchen--I put an area rug next to him to help him get up without slipping.
Your dog will definitely let you know when its 'time'. Our previous male golden, Milo (my baby) acquired Cushings disease at age 13--he also got cancer. We kept him comfy and one day he just didn't 'look' the same. Hubby took him to the vet and we we're told it was a matter of time. He had been active and happy the day before. When I came home I could see he'd given up. I spent the next few hours giving him belly rubs and we called the vet. His eyes said it all. There is NO mistaking that look. Sounds like your gal still wants some time with you.
Give her a belly rub for me!
i guess i am only a professional in that i have had pets all my life and have had to euthenize a few. it is so hard to do, but once they are in pain then it is time to free them from their worn out bodies. if it is not in pain though,it is up to you how much effort you can give to help the pet out.
i had a cat with crf(kidney failure) and gave her subcutaneous(i.v.) infusions twice daily for 6 months. everyone thought i was nuts, and told me i should let her go since it was incurable. as soon as she was fading and seemed to have pain i did that asap..but in the previous six months of treating her i secured my bond and spent a LOT of quality time with her.so i dont regret it.
i hope this helps you decide what to do;it is just what happened with me.
When the quality of her life is intolerable, put her down.
That said, you say that Precious is alert and responsive - even happy.
Now then, by ';happy'; I mean excited about life, wags her tail, anxious to go out and do ';dog-things'; - even if she struggles, eats regularly, has a good coat and eye shine, then she is happy.
If she struggles at everything, doesn't have much appetite, has trouble eliminating - seems like ';she just doesn't want to go on...'; then it's time to let her go.
But until then, keep her on carpet, feed her food that she can eat (maybe soften her kibble with warm water or broth), keep her warm, maybe raise her bed so it's easier for her to get up and down - be patient with accidents - and above all, LOVE her with all your heart for the time she has left. At 17, she is quite the antique.
It depends on how you feel. If you're dog is in pain, she will let you know. It's a very tough decision but if you're willing to stick by her and do whatever she needs you to do for her, then make that commitment.
I had to make the decision to euthanize my dog. The vet thought she had colon cancer but the only way to find out for sure was if she did surgery which would cost $5000. Even then, she only gave us a 20% chance of being able to fix it with another surgery. She was in a lot of pain, and it was heartbreaking but I made the decision to have her put down.
Just try to think about what is best for your dog. Don't keep her around, in pain, just because you'll miss her too much. She has had a long life.
This is a very tough, painful situation. I think that problem is how you feel about seeing her having problems to walk and get up. Although the dog is sick, she's '; happy, responsive'; what it means she's handling her ailments well. Then why to euthanize her ? I think her time to go has not come yet, and you'll know without doubt, if you and she have been emotionally close. She'll make you know in any way that she wants to go, when the time comes. Best wishes
When I had my 20 year old cat beginning to really show signs of aging I brought her to the vet to have her put down. The vet asked to give her a good once over before doing that and found she had a bladder infection making her appear worse off them she was . The infection cleared and we did have to give IV liquids occasionally because at her age she had kidney failure. The vet told me, ';You will know when it is time';. I thought that is crazy, that's your ';professional'; opinion. Well, 5 years later on the morning before Thanksgiving, I undoubtedly knew it was time';
While talking to other people their vets had pretty much said the same thing.
As for the other stuff, there are inexpensive arthritis pills for dogs that are amazing with the getting up and down, our 14 year old Springer uses them during the winter months. Don't your legs come out from under you sometimes on slick surfaces too? If you are medicating and still no results, then the quality of you dogs life is deteriorating rapidly and you need to examine if you are doing good by her or only making it easier for yourself.
Good Luck!
If you want professional advice, ask your vet. You'll only get the opinions of people who've been there.
In my opinion, it's not quite time yet if she's still happy, alert, and responsive. There is some wonderful arthritis medicine out there, and you can put carpet strips on the slippery surfaces for her to walk on. However, I only say that this is what I would do because I'm physically strong.
How strong you and your wife are is important. It is likely, given her age and health, that one day she'll fall down and won't be able to get up at all. Her legs, particularly her back ones, just won't work anymore no matter what medicine you give her. If this happens, she will need to be carried rather quickly to the vet so she can be put down (I say quickly because she will be scared and distressed, and most definately not happy anymore, and it's best for her to feel that for as short a time as possible). If this happens when you are not home, your wife will have to do this on her own.
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DOG. JUST HAD TO PUT MY 18YR OLD BORDER COLLIE MIX DOWN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. IT'S NOT EASY.
If she is happy and eating i wouldn't euthanize her yet. but when she stops eating and is in pain than i would say it is time to put her down. best wishes.
No amount of professional advice is going to help here, Friend. I can only speak from my own experience.
You will have to decide when you are ready, but think of this: Is your dog truly happy? Is there a chance she is going to get well? Is she in any pain?
Are you keeping her for her? Or for yourself?
She has had a long life, and you sound like you love her very much. No matter what, letting her go will hurt. When it is time though- be there with her as she goes to sleep. She will know.
My friend had the same thing happen to her shepherd mix dog. She was 15 years old and had bad hips and arthritis. She moved around quite slowly and it took her a while to get up. But all in all she was a happy dog. She never complained because of the pain. Then all of a sudden she started going to the bathroom while laying down. She was in too much pain to move. That's when they knew it was time to let her go.
I hope your pup feels better. I know what a hard decision this is to make. Just remember, whatever you decide, your pup will thank you for it.
Oh...I'm sorry about your pup.
I don't want to tell you when....but trust me...you will know.
My previous lab was only 9 when I had to put her down...I spent over $3000 keeping her alive...and she was alert and happy....but one day...she just misperceived my son and chased him. I just knew...
If you girl is alert, happy and responsive...she's OK....don't put her down yet. She will, in all honesty, let you know when she's ready. I know it's hard to watch her struggle....but she's still OK.
As long as she's not suffering in endless pain, help her when she needs to get up and keep her walking slowly...put leash on her to help keep her moving slowly.
My current Newfoundland is a big girl...at 1.5 years old she's almost 140 pounds. Sometimes she needs help when she's getting up off the slippery marble floor. Just give her a little boost in the butt....and she's up and running.
Trust me....your girl will let you know when it's time. You can't miss it.
Hug her for me!
Toughest decision you are going to make with your pet.
When the pet is pain is where I draw the line.
You have 17 years wrap up in your dog.
Consider carefully all your options.
Think about what your dog is going through and would you want him to go through it.
Good luck.
If she can still at least walk without pain then wait. But if shes in constant pain then do it. I've been there and done that with several animals and I know its not pleasant. But you know they are in a better place. Hang in there.
Having to decide to euthanase a pet is the most horrible and painful decision you, as a pet owner, ever need to make. After it is done, you will no doubt wonder if it really was necessary right at that time, or if you might have done more to keep the animal alive longer. This is natural, and every pet owner goes through it, even when their pet is in such terrible health that it's undeniably the best thing to do.
You will know in your heart when the time has come - you know your dog, and you will see in her expression %26amp; demeanour when the joy of living has been replaced by relentless pain %26amp; misery.
In the meantime, I wonder if it's worth looking at making her movements around the house a little easier? Rubber matting on the floor will stop her from slipping as she tries to walk, and should make it much easier for her. Also, you might try to put her bed on a low platform, so that she can ';slide'; out, and into a standing position without having to push all of her weight up on painful joints. Keep her warm, and if you have steps to the outside areas, placing bricks or wood betweem each step to make them less high would be a help as well.
Having said all that, she's quite old, so you wouldn't expect to be able to extend her life for an enormous amount, but at least if you can do what you can to make things easier on her while she's still showing signs of being happy to be alive, it will make it much easier on you in the long run, when finally you do need to make that horrible decision, as you'll know that you did everything possible to give her some extra, quality time. Whatever happens, you have my sympathy for what must be a very hard time for you - I've been through it many times myself. In the end, you love your dog, and she trusts you as her guardian to do what's right for her, and I know that you will do that.
i known how u feel i had cocker , she was 20. she got cancer and could,nt see or hear very well. i did what i could for her. it was hard to say bye to your pal that was there for so long.
I hate to advise you on this, it is your choice to make but from my past experience...I had a large breed dobermann who had hip and leg problems at age 10, her legs slid out from her and she broker her hip, thinking she was only 10 I had hip surgery done to repair the leg, it was very painful for her, she suffered so much , I had to carry her to pee outside, her wound would not heal, she cried , threw up and would not eat, ...I put her through the surgery only for her to die 7 days later, she lived in agony and all the while was responsive and wagging her tail etc...i realized in hinesight that the humaine course of action would have been having her euthanized. I kept her alive, had the surgery done and so forth because I didnt want to loser her, it was selfish and I will always regret it. Here forth I go forward believing that if the dohg does not have quality of life, can not run, play, walk, stand up, lay down etc....it is time to say good bye. 17 years is an unusually long time for a dog to live. Consult your vet, but do what is fair to the dog, not what is easier on your heart. Good Luck. Hugs!
put it to sleep. its okay. in case you are sad after that get a new puppy. it always cheers people up when their dog are died.
As so many people here have said so well, you will know when it is time. That look on her face will say, ';Daddy, I really don't want to go on.';
I have a 16-ish year old chow mix. Don't kow his real age, but he was at least a year when I adopted him and I've had him for 15, so by my math...
Anyway, he's about 90% blind and deaf, and he slips on the kitchen linoleum a lot. He runs into things occasionally, and forgets why he's outside sometimes, so I have to take him for extra walkies on occasion. But he gets up every morning with a wagging tail and a bouncy gait...or at least as bouncy as a geriatric geezer dog can have, anyhow. He bounces down the steps and hippity-hops around on the end of the leash smelling the flowers and grass and favorite potty spots. He sort of does a comical shuffle dance at treat times, and still woofs and tried to do his old tricks if the light hits your hand just right so he can se the hand signals. In short, he's happy. Until he tells me it's time, or goes in his sleep, (and trust me, at his age he gets into such deep sleeps I thought he was gone on a few heart-stopping occasions) I'm going to thank the Lord for blessing me with Ol' Rusty-crusty dog.
Trust your heart and your dog to let you know it's time, and look for support when she has to go. Not everyone understands just how tough grieving for a pet is. There are support groups, just reach out to them. There is nothing wrong with your feelings about your girl or how you handle them. Whatever decision you make, it will be the right one because you made the choice out of love.
While I am not a vet, I have had many animals over the years, and had to make these most horrible of decisions for them. Animals don't feel sorry for themselves; they live with what is put in front of them. Obviously it will not be too much longer for your dog, I am sorry to say. You know her better than anyone. Do you feel she still has some dignity left? If she is not in much pain, I would wait. I know it hurts you to see her struggle, but like I said, she is dealing with it. I have to help my dog at times, but I know it is not her time to go yet. I would watch your dog for signs of pain or distress. Then make the decision. My heart goes out to you and your dog.
I am going through this right now as my GSD has a disease that is paralyzing his legs plus he has some arthritis and mild hip displesia. He still seems happy most of the time he sleeps a lot more and he plays a lot less slower and for shorter periods of time. The good thing is that he is only in mild pain because of the paralyzing affects of the first disease. Still it kills me on the days that I have to lift his rear legs up from laying down. He can still walk and even play for a bit once he is up and moving but when we play he often looses control of his rear legs and it bothers me a lot but doesn't really seem to bother him.
I decided when he doesn't want to play at all anymore that would be the time, I am not a pro either just trying to figure out what is best and I just don't think lying around the house all day will make my dog happy.
I am really sorry to hear about yr dog.
If u think yr dog is in pain u should do what u thinks best, Speak to the vet and see what he recommends, but by the sounds of it she has had a good life and is now not so well.
I would look for any alternative treatments, if none available then euthanasia may be best , as she could get worse.
17 years old is quite good for a dogs age.
Hope this may help
Earnest, dogs have no sense of tomorrow and do not make plans. You have been fortunate to have her company for so many years.
As long as she is NOT in pain, you are probably ok. But I question the idea of waiting until there is constant pain.
I don't know about your dog, but mine didn't like going to the Vet's office. When I took my standard poodle to be euthanized, the Vet told me to just leave her and they would take care of it. I replied that she was my dog and I would not abandon her just because I was having her euthanized. The female Vet said, ';Well, ok, but I am going to cry.'; I told her that was ok, cause I was going to cry as well. We both did. In fact, I get teary just thinking about my faithful dog.
When my Sheltie was at that point I let her tell me. One morning we went down stairs and she ate her breakfast an then collapsed on the kitchen floor all four legs out from under her. I just stood there trying to help her up and there was no way. So I just picked her up and took her to the vet. It was time. I stayed with her and the last thing she did was to lick my hand as to say thank you. They really will let you know. It's the hardest thing about having a loving four legged family member. I know how hard this is for you, but we all know ourselves when it's the right time. You've been so lucky to have had her in your lives for seventeen years. So my advice to you if you want it is just go with your gut. I wish you all well and my thoughts are with you. All the best........
You can tell when they are ready to go. They do NOT seem happy at all. They have a glazed look (kind of a blank stare) in their eyes. The dog becomes un-responsive, and if you look at them during this time..... there is no question.
It seems to me that she is doing well with her physical problems, and it is bothering you more than her mentally at this point. All you can do is help her get to her feet, buy a lot of rugs, and wait for her to tell you she's ready.
I hope this helps, it is NEVER an easy decision even when the time IS right. Bless you.
Well I'm no professional nor would I ever pretend to be, but I have had to take this step with many animals over the years.
I always put the quality of life over the quantity. If they are in pain and really can do little more than lay around, have trouble eating/drinking etc then I go to my vet and talk with him. I also talk it over with my family. It's something you have to be as sure as humanly possible about of course before you take that step.
When we make the ultimate decission is when we look into their eyes and they seem to tell you in their own way it's time. (man I'm crying now) Their eyes seem to tell how they feel just the way the do with people. I hate to see ';that look'; but it sure proves to me the time is right.
I really feel for you as I truly know how you feel. I looked into the eyes of my 22 year old cat this morning and I know today is the day. I will make the appointment in just a few minutes when the vet opens at 9am. Lucky told me it's time. Your dog will do the same. :-(
PS: I thought I would edit my reply to let you know I helped Lucky to the Rainbow Bridge at 10:15 this morning. She is now with the Lord and all of my other passed babies.
I had to make this decision for my Labrador Retriever several years ago. Max was stricken with a creeping palsy that was slowly paralyzing him. Eventually, he could no longer do any of the things he loved to do. He would struggle to drag himself around just to get to is water bowl. My wife could not bring herself to let him go. So I explained to her that we had to decide if we were just keeping him alive for our own needs or if we were doing what was best for Max.
I told her that to me, he seemed totally miserable because all of the best parts of being a dog were taken away from him. He could not go for walks, he could not chase a stick, he could not climb up on the bed he was becoming incontinent which was totally freaking him out because he knew not to go in the house but could not help it.
She finally agreed that he was now a prisoner in his own body just the same as if he were locked in a small cage. He lost the sparkle in his eye and seemed to dread each day like a lifer in solitary.
My son and I took him to the Vet. I carried him into that examination room and placed him on the table. He offered no resistance. The doctor left us alone for a little while to say our good-byes and then the doctor came in, gave him an injection and he just exhaled and was gone. My son cried but somehow I felt better. It was the final act of love.
.
She seems happy though . She's alert and responsive , but it's killing us to watch her struggle to walk and even get up on her own .

If you girl is alert, happy and responsive...she's OK....don't put her down yet. She will, in all honesty, let you know when she's ready. I know it's hard to watch her struggle....but she's still OK.
As long as she's not suffering in endless pain, help her when she needs to get up and keep her walking slowly...put leash on her to help keep her moving slowly.
My current Newfoundland is a big girl...at 1.5 years old she's almost 140 pounds. Sometimes she needs help when she's getting up off the slippery marble floor. Just give her a little boost in the butt....and she's up and running.
Trust me....your girl will let you know when it's time. You can't miss it.
Hug her for me!
Toughest decision you are going to make with your pet.
When the pet is pain is where I draw the line.
You have 17 years wrap up in your dog.
Consider carefully all your options.
Think about what your dog is going through and would you want him to go through it.
Good luck.
If she can still at least walk without pain then wait. But if shes in constant pain then do it. I've been there and done that with several animals and I know its not pleasant. But you know they are in a better place. Hang in there.
Having to decide to euthanase a pet is the most horrible and painful decision you, as a pet owner, ever need to make. After it is done, you will no doubt wonder if it really was necessary right at that time, or if you might have done more to keep the animal alive longer. This is natural, and every pet owner goes through it, even when their pet is in such terrible health that it's undeniably the best thing to do.
You will know in your heart when the time has come - you know your dog, and you will see in her expression %26amp; demeanour when the joy of living has been replaced by relentless pain %26amp; misery.
In the meantime, I wonder if it's worth looking at making her movements around the house a little easier? Rubber matting on the floor will stop her from slipping as she tries to walk, and should make it much easier for her. Also, you might try to put her bed on a low platform, so that she can ';slide'; out, and into a standing position without having to push all of her weight up on painful joints. Keep her warm, and if you have steps to the outside areas, placing bricks or wood betweem each step to make them less high would be a help as well.
Having said all that, she's quite old, so you wouldn't expect to be able to extend her life for an enormous amount, but at least if you can do what you can to make things easier on her while she's still showing signs of being happy to be alive, it will make it much easier on you in the long run, when finally you do need to make that horrible decision, as you'll know that you did everything possible to give her some extra, quality time. Whatever happens, you have my sympathy for what must be a very hard time for you - I've been through it many times myself. In the end, you love your dog, and she trusts you as her guardian to do what's right for her, and I know that you will do that.
i known how u feel i had cocker , she was 20. she got cancer and could,nt see or hear very well. i did what i could for her. it was hard to say bye to your pal that was there for so long.
I hate to advise you on this, it is your choice to make but from my past experience...I had a large breed dobermann who had hip and leg problems at age 10, her legs slid out from her and she broker her hip, thinking she was only 10 I had hip surgery done to repair the leg, it was very painful for her, she suffered so much , I had to carry her to pee outside, her wound would not heal, she cried , threw up and would not eat, ...I put her through the surgery only for her to die 7 days later, she lived in agony and all the while was responsive and wagging her tail etc...i realized in hinesight that the humaine course of action would have been having her euthanized. I kept her alive, had the surgery done and so forth because I didnt want to loser her, it was selfish and I will always regret it. Here forth I go forward believing that if the dohg does not have quality of life, can not run, play, walk, stand up, lay down etc....it is time to say good bye. 17 years is an unusually long time for a dog to live. Consult your vet, but do what is fair to the dog, not what is easier on your heart. Good Luck. Hugs!
put it to sleep. its okay. in case you are sad after that get a new puppy. it always cheers people up when their dog are died.
As so many people here have said so well, you will know when it is time. That look on her face will say, ';Daddy, I really don't want to go on.';
I have a 16-ish year old chow mix. Don't kow his real age, but he was at least a year when I adopted him and I've had him for 15, so by my math...
Anyway, he's about 90% blind and deaf, and he slips on the kitchen linoleum a lot. He runs into things occasionally, and forgets why he's outside sometimes, so I have to take him for extra walkies on occasion. But he gets up every morning with a wagging tail and a bouncy gait...or at least as bouncy as a geriatric geezer dog can have, anyhow. He bounces down the steps and hippity-hops around on the end of the leash smelling the flowers and grass and favorite potty spots. He sort of does a comical shuffle dance at treat times, and still woofs and tried to do his old tricks if the light hits your hand just right so he can se the hand signals. In short, he's happy. Until he tells me it's time, or goes in his sleep, (and trust me, at his age he gets into such deep sleeps I thought he was gone on a few heart-stopping occasions) I'm going to thank the Lord for blessing me with Ol' Rusty-crusty dog.
Trust your heart and your dog to let you know it's time, and look for support when she has to go. Not everyone understands just how tough grieving for a pet is. There are support groups, just reach out to them. There is nothing wrong with your feelings about your girl or how you handle them. Whatever decision you make, it will be the right one because you made the choice out of love.
While I am not a vet, I have had many animals over the years, and had to make these most horrible of decisions for them. Animals don't feel sorry for themselves; they live with what is put in front of them. Obviously it will not be too much longer for your dog, I am sorry to say. You know her better than anyone. Do you feel she still has some dignity left? If she is not in much pain, I would wait. I know it hurts you to see her struggle, but like I said, she is dealing with it. I have to help my dog at times, but I know it is not her time to go yet. I would watch your dog for signs of pain or distress. Then make the decision. My heart goes out to you and your dog.
I am going through this right now as my GSD has a disease that is paralyzing his legs plus he has some arthritis and mild hip displesia. He still seems happy most of the time he sleeps a lot more and he plays a lot less slower and for shorter periods of time. The good thing is that he is only in mild pain because of the paralyzing affects of the first disease. Still it kills me on the days that I have to lift his rear legs up from laying down. He can still walk and even play for a bit once he is up and moving but when we play he often looses control of his rear legs and it bothers me a lot but doesn't really seem to bother him.
I decided when he doesn't want to play at all anymore that would be the time, I am not a pro either just trying to figure out what is best and I just don't think lying around the house all day will make my dog happy.
I am really sorry to hear about yr dog.
If u think yr dog is in pain u should do what u thinks best, Speak to the vet and see what he recommends, but by the sounds of it she has had a good life and is now not so well.
I would look for any alternative treatments, if none available then euthanasia may be best , as she could get worse.
17 years old is quite good for a dogs age.
Hope this may help
Earnest, dogs have no sense of tomorrow and do not make plans. You have been fortunate to have her company for so many years.
As long as she is NOT in pain, you are probably ok. But I question the idea of waiting until there is constant pain.
I don't know about your dog, but mine didn't like going to the Vet's office. When I took my standard poodle to be euthanized, the Vet told me to just leave her and they would take care of it. I replied that she was my dog and I would not abandon her just because I was having her euthanized. The female Vet said, ';Well, ok, but I am going to cry.'; I told her that was ok, cause I was going to cry as well. We both did. In fact, I get teary just thinking about my faithful dog.
When my Sheltie was at that point I let her tell me. One morning we went down stairs and she ate her breakfast an then collapsed on the kitchen floor all four legs out from under her. I just stood there trying to help her up and there was no way. So I just picked her up and took her to the vet. It was time. I stayed with her and the last thing she did was to lick my hand as to say thank you. They really will let you know. It's the hardest thing about having a loving four legged family member. I know how hard this is for you, but we all know ourselves when it's the right time. You've been so lucky to have had her in your lives for seventeen years. So my advice to you if you want it is just go with your gut. I wish you all well and my thoughts are with you. All the best........
You can tell when they are ready to go. They do NOT seem happy at all. They have a glazed look (kind of a blank stare) in their eyes. The dog becomes un-responsive, and if you look at them during this time..... there is no question.
It seems to me that she is doing well with her physical problems, and it is bothering you more than her mentally at this point. All you can do is help her get to her feet, buy a lot of rugs, and wait for her to tell you she's ready.
I hope this helps, it is NEVER an easy decision even when the time IS right. Bless you.
Well I'm no professional nor would I ever pretend to be, but I have had to take this step with many animals over the years.
I always put the quality of life over the quantity. If they are in pain and really can do little more than lay around, have trouble eating/drinking etc then I go to my vet and talk with him. I also talk it over with my family. It's something you have to be as sure as humanly possible about of course before you take that step.
When we make the ultimate decission is when we look into their eyes and they seem to tell you in their own way it's time. (man I'm crying now) Their eyes seem to tell how they feel just the way the do with people. I hate to see ';that look'; but it sure proves to me the time is right.
I really feel for you as I truly know how you feel. I looked into the eyes of my 22 year old cat this morning and I know today is the day. I will make the appointment in just a few minutes when the vet opens at 9am. Lucky told me it's time. Your dog will do the same. :-(
PS: I thought I would edit my reply to let you know I helped Lucky to the Rainbow Bridge at 10:15 this morning. She is now with the Lord and all of my other passed babies.
I had to make this decision for my Labrador Retriever several years ago. Max was stricken with a creeping palsy that was slowly paralyzing him. Eventually, he could no longer do any of the things he loved to do. He would struggle to drag himself around just to get to is water bowl. My wife could not bring herself to let him go. So I explained to her that we had to decide if we were just keeping him alive for our own needs or if we were doing what was best for Max.
I told her that to me, he seemed totally miserable because all of the best parts of being a dog were taken away from him. He could not go for walks, he could not chase a stick, he could not climb up on the bed he was becoming incontinent which was totally freaking him out because he knew not to go in the house but could not help it.
She finally agreed that he was now a prisoner in his own body just the same as if he were locked in a small cage. He lost the sparkle in his eye and seemed to dread each day like a lifer in solitary.
My son and I took him to the Vet. I carried him into that examination room and placed him on the table. He offered no resistance. The doctor left us alone for a little while to say our good-byes and then the doctor came in, gave him an injection and he just exhaled and was gone. My son cried but somehow I felt better. It was the final act of love.

What would you advice to Elect President on New Year day ?
I am sure he would love to receive public opinions and correct him self to be an effective, respectable , good, powerful President , who can bring back our lost images and respect all over the world too.
Advice to diffuse financial crisis, improvement employment market, prevent fraud, bring back troops, stop small wars , get medical aid and whatever he promised to us .
HE IS A GOOD GUY - HE BRINGS HOPE FOR NEW LIFE. TO DAY.
GOOD LUCKWhat would you advice to Elect President on New Year day ?
I would tell him to give more finances to state education. Then people would be able to form a proper question and possibly a sentence or two.
I would tell him to start the draft back up. I mean America has 144,128,690 Americans that are able to serve and only 1,500,000 Americans with enough balls to serve our country and ensure the freedom and democracy that the country stands for.What would you advice to Elect President on New Year day ?
I would advise him to admit that he's in over his head, and a recycling of the Clinton Administration in conjunction with a DEMOCRAT controlled legislature is the last thing this nation needs.
After that he should step down and call upon the country to support an experienced leader in a White House with a bipartisan makeup, and ask someone like Newt Gingrich to step in as President with Biden as VP.
That's the kind of compromise that WORKS for this nation. What we will see after mid-January will NOT WORK, and will take us lower and lower until we finally wake up.
Dear mr. President, make sure you rule the country subject to the guidance of God.. No man on earth has the ability to fix this world's problems. Who can make a collective mind change in this country?
No matter how hard you try, if congress opposes you, nothing will happen. Put God and his wisdom first then your abilities will shine.
Good luck Mr. president
he should remember his allies just like Bush did He should visit Poland and remember that Polish people and the Polish goverment helped USA and will try to help USA every time its good to have small allies that can enter places the USA Cannot Poland helped the USA negotiate with China back in Regan administration and Polish mediators can still be useful USA inteligence should coperate with the Polish inteligence as we often posses information that might be usefull for the US
I would suggest to back away from any agenda, the liberals try to bring to the table. Continue with the tax breaks, don't raise any taxes. Don't cut military spending...
Socialisim will only run America... No socialized medicine!!!
Don't screw things up like Clinton did!
he better make a ';Change'; or else he's going to have some pretty mad Americans on his hands. Also continue with the border fence. Hey, they already started and have some sections almost finished. Plus, it's providing jobs for people right now.
I would tell him to do the best thing he can for our Country... And that would be to back down from office. He is a liar and a deceiver. He wasn't even born in America. There is no reason that he should have the power to run a country. End of story.
Spend more federal money on public education if this question is any indication.
Please for Gods sake, do yourself, your family and your Nation a good service and quit now.

What tips or advice could you give to students taking Algebra for the first time,?
what would you share with them?What tips or advice could you give to students taking Algebra for the first time,?
bless you, lol--I hated algebra and math in general. If you don't understand it in class, seek help outside of class--from a teacher, a tutor, a classmate, anyone who knows what they are talking about. You just want to be out of there as soon as possible. Good luck to you :) I'm sure you'll be alright.What tips or advice could you give to students taking Algebra for the first time,?
The most important thing to remember, is that you can do it. Believing in yourself is a key component of your success. And, if you are having trouble, don't feel it is a sign of weakness. Nearly everyone experiences some level of frustration when learning new mathematical concepts.
Feel comfortable asking questions (your teachers WANT you to ask questions), work diligently to complete all of your work, and finally, when you do make mistakes, analyze them and learn from them.
Even some of the best mathematicians in history have made many errors while learning about new concepts. In fact, some of the most important mathematical ideas of our times were discovered 'by accident' when mathematicians had made errors in their work.
Good luck!
Study, study, study. Most of your classmates won't. And when you can solve problems your classmates can't, you will be empowered.
Algebra 1 is the foundation for all of the math courses you will take. Do a good job here and the next courses will be easier.
.
I'm an experienced tutor and a beginning teacher, and one way I've always tackled it is to tell my students that they've been doing algebra for as long as they have been doing maths - they've just never called it that.
When you started learning addition, you'd come across stuff like 6 + 7 = ____. Later, you would have seen stuff like 6 + ____ = 13. Now, you'll see 6 + x = 13. It's all the same, just the notation changes.
If u r not catching on then get a tutor or at least a study partner.
Don't try at all.
Invest in a TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator becuase you will need one desperately the further you get inAlgebra
There is no need to be tensed. The most important thing to do is to be very very careful while solving the sums. You should concentrate on the question which you are doing and do daily study. If you study regularly your formulas and examples then there is no need of a tutor. But be sure to clear your doubhts with your teacher. The teacher will surely feel delighted when you ask him\her your doubt. As time moves on maths will definitely become your favorite subject.

I would like advice on losing weight when you are an emotional eater?
im an emotional eater who eats when im bored or had a stressful day at work i don't have a boyfriend and this upsets me also and i eat for comfort. any advice?I would like advice on losing weight when you are an emotional eater?
First, start a food journal..on this journal write down your goals...ie: how many lbs to lose, what exercise to do each day, etc....be realistic, if you choose a goal that is not easily attainable you will be more likely to give up..as you reach your goals you can up them to the next level. As you begin to write down what you eat each day you will see patterns emerge..this will help you understand what other things/emotions trigger your eating. Clean out your cupboards, no more junk in the house..replace it with healthy foods. If the junk food is not there then it won't tempt you as easily. These are a few ideas..the best one though is to get a buddy to diet and exercises with. I will be happy to give you more pointers, just email me. Good luck hun.I would like advice on losing weight when you are an emotional eater?
How are you going to binge on food and gain weight because you don't have a boyfriend.
If you are looking for a boyfriend you are going about it in the wrong way.
Sweetie, you have to eat healthy, cut back on eating, exercise to get in a decent healty shape. If you get emotional, put a list of items or things to do in your mind or on paper, so when you get emotional you can reference them. The list will entail activities and other things you can do and probably eat to keep you from binge eating.
Being overweight %26amp; outshape will decrease your chances in finding someone. The last thing you want to have to worry about if you do find someone, is to lose weight to keep him.
Well, instead of eating when you feel bad do something else that's productive. It's easier to get over bad habits when you switch the habits for something else. Good night!

Do you need to be licensed to give stock/investment advice?
There are millions of ';stock advice'; websites out there that charge $15-$200 per month for advice on short and long term stock picks. Can anyone write an article and give their own advice or do you need to be licensed (series 7? 13?) Any help would be appreciated.Do you need to be licensed to give stock/investment advice?
You should be very careful.
In Australia, any individual who provides financial advice or deals in a financial product is required under the Financial Services Reform Act to hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) or be an Authorised Representative of an entity which does hold an AFSL.
In order to be an authorised representative or obtain an AFSL, there are minimum competency standards which are required. The minimum standards cover things such as education, industry experience, integrity and solvency.
If you are not in Australia and simply use a disclaimer (as suggested in another answer), then you should probably ensure that your disclaimer tells visitors that they should only use your advice if it is legal in their own country (just to cover yourself).
It might be better for you to post a question in an internet/website category and see if you can find some answers which relate more to internet laws.
I'm not exactly sure what the implications would be if an Australian used your advice if you were not an Australian and your website was hosted outside Australia.
I would even go as far as to recommend visiting lawyer to help prepare your disclaimer.
You should also consider that different countries can have different economic and financial structures. Any advice that might work in one particular market may have different results if applied in another market. The person reading your advice may not be aware of this.

How to get a girl to like you? This is for Girls to answer but men if u have advice please add.
I met a girl who i like. She said i was cute and funny to my friend. She gave me a hug after i saw her for the first time witch was 15 min or so long (not the hug) Then the second time i saw her she wanted to make me some coffee at wawa but i said not because i dont drink coffee. Then i am a funny 18 year old guy who does good impressions of people. She asked me to do it but i said no becasue she needs to see the character so she can understand the impression. This was the second time i saw her too. Then when i left and said my bye she gave me a huge and it was firm i dont know if it was by mistake or purposely. Does she like me if so wat should i do?

Hi there,
You should have asked her directly. Don't beat around the bush. I think she might like you, but you need to be confident with yourself. Approach her and let her know that you like her.
I came across http://www.finalseduction.com and I think it might be a good resource that you can refer to if you want to get some dating and relationship tips.
Good luck.

';witch was 15 min or so long (not the hug)'; that made me laugh. and anyone who makes me laugh is automatically in my good books! So I'd just be yourself, and hope that you can charm the hell outta her. You've got to remember how important it is to be yrself, you want her to like YOU. so don't play games, don't act different. BE YOURSELF : ]]
Your physical appearance, your face value, your education, your training, your earning capacity, your holdings, your income, your family starature in society shall determine your position and a girl, specially in India, she would examine all this and only then she shall start stepping towards you.
If you have even have the slightest doubt that a women likes you, she probably does. Women likes to give subtle ques to guys that most men don't actually pick up. I can give you tips of how to keep her interested through the concept of attraction. If you're interested email me at hwasin.ssir@gmail.com, i promise that you'll get much better responses than your question here.
it seems like she l ikes you but im not surw try to get to know her a little more and try not to ne shy around her. and if she still acts like she likes you then you should talk to her about it then maybe she'll end up liking you!
she might.
if she does, i dont know, but you should just be rlllly nice, and sweet talk her. try and throw in a little flirting, then ,you be the one to hug her.
if things get prettty serious, and go well, ask her out:)
good luck
try dropping some hints and see how she reacts, like what about you hug her b4 she hus u next time u c her, or maybe u can brush her hand and c how she reacts. or she could just be a very affectionate person
ask her if she would like to hang out like on a date because i hug like everyone so i don't know but see how it works

What kind of advice do you think should be taught in schools?
Not crap about Trinomials.
I think the fundamentals they teach you in kindergarten are the most important. Share, treat others the way you want to be treated.
ETCWhat kind of advice do you think should be taught in schools?
street stuff, like how to use a gun and self defenseWhat kind of advice do you think should be taught in schools?
street smarts 101
Respect everyone and no religion
Managing a household on a budget including the credit aspects, the legal and taxation responsibilities, the marital sharing of chores, bank accounts, the saving and investing necessities, raising the kids, i.e., spanking vs no spanking, private vs public school, etc., in other words, being a responsible and knowledgable family man/woman.

Can you give advice on a puerto rico project?
Hi...
I need a visual piece for an oral presentation on Puerto Rico.
It must be 3D. Any ideas?Can you give advice on a puerto rico project?
a friend of mine did this in college and what she did was she collected a few things that represented PR. for instance if you go to a flea market were their is a puerto rican souvenir store or a local spanish store were they sell all kinds of stuff and buy cheap maracas, buy a famous puerto rican food product such as candy or cookies from PR and then you can share them with the class so they can taste (polvorones, dulce de coquitos, quesitos) are some of the puerto rican pastries. you can try to find some kind of wooded artesanial work that says PR, you can also buy a shirt with PR drawings in a souvenir. you can buy a PR colorful map and laminated for the class to see. get some brochures of PR tourist sites like beaches and places so you can pass it around the class. ask a puerto rican friend or a store if they sell puerto rican traditional clothes and take it as well or you can fashion it yourself like this:
http://www.prfdance.org/pics/seisdance00鈥?/a>
take all these collections and put up a stand and show the class, also get information about PR history and while you cover each item then you can pass it around the class, its all 3D.Can you give advice on a puerto rico project?
You may would like to call the Department of Tourism of Puerto Rico at the following number 1-787-721-2400 or just going to Puerto Rico Tourism on the internet and maybe they can provide you with a dvd. I can't think of any place with a 3D but I also have an idea, you may would like to contact Western Bank of Puerto Rico, because they have dvd with visuals of Puerto Rico, of course they mention the bank, but the visuals are beautiful their number is 1-787-831-9378 this is the main office in Mayaguez. There are many gift shops that have dvd's of Puerto Rico, you may also check with Puerto Rico Travel Store on the internet. You can also just type on the search bar what you want and check. But mostly the gift stores will have dvd (souvenier shops).
Here is a list of them so you may call:
Cairbbean Gift Inc. 152 Fortaleza Street, Old San Juan 1-787-977-0389
Eastern National Park, Norzagary St. Old San Juan 1-787-724-1260,1-787-725-4493 or their office in the old fort of San Cristobal at 1-787-722-0990
El Tesoro del Coqui in Isla Verde at 1-787-727-0607
Airport Gift and Souvenir Shop Inc at Luis Munoz Marin Airport in San Juan at 1-787-791-3344 or 1-787-791-4209
These are some of the souvenir shops and stores that may carry I am sure they may carry dvd's.
I hope this helped you and I hope you find your dvd.
I suggest you find a 3D souvenir piece of El Morro fort - you might wanna google for this or go to a souvenir show that sells old history stuff.
Also, you can look for places that sell PR artifacts. They would probably have a ton of 3D stuff.
Hope that helps.

What's the best piece of advice that you can offer me, based on your life experiences?
That honestly depends on which piece you are missing. You tell me, I'll tell you.What's the best piece of advice that you can offer me, based on your life experiences?

What's the best piece of advice that you can offer me, based on your life experiences?
Engage in those practices which will aid you to raise your consciousness and frequency as much as possible: meditation, yoga, ';energy work';, etc. This is truly the key to happiness. The higher your frequency, the happier and healthier you will be. And the more help you can be to others. And remember, every thought you think, and every act you do, and every word you utter, carries its own distinct frequency. High = healing; low = problematic.
Obsessing about money and power is not a high frequency activity. That's why the wealthy and ';elite'; ';have'; those ';things';, but many of them look look like the portrait of Dorian Gray, itself. In a relentlessly clueless and materialistic society, the truly wise and aware are most concerned about the progress of their soul, rather than that of their status and bank balance.
This may sound delusional, but the ';individuated';, while relatively few, are the happiest, no matter what their external ';circumstances';, and , definitely, no matter how they are viewed by their ';neighbors';. Good luck :))
Learn from your mistakes.
Always be yourself
Accept other people's choices, even if you don't agree with them. It's their life.
Love your family and friends-you don't have to love what they do, but love them.
giving advice is the most easy thing to do, but to follow them the most difficult. i firmly believe each individual knows his best and you just cannot put yourself in somebody other shoes.
It is important for you and everyone else to understand that there is only one race, the human race. There are different colors, different ethnicity's, and different religions that create the conflicts and genocide that seem to be never ending. So my suggestion is to just work as a human to make the world a better place for everyone. That is our true responsibility.

Never take anybody elses advice with less than a -very- large grain of salt. It's your life, you have to live it and decide for yourself what's important to you.

Hmm. Well I could give some pretty corny answers to this one...you know, the answers that peer couselors give depressed kids at school:
';Be yourself';
';Follow your heart';
';Never give up';
';Believe in yourself';
No.
OK, just no. Because if I said that to you, then it would be the same answers you've probably been hearing from EVERYONE for YEARS! And who wants to hear that all over again?? Sure, the first couple of times it works, but after that it just gets so worn out that it loses its entire meaning!
What's the best piece of advice I can offer you based on my life experiences...it's a tough question...tougher than you'd think, especially if you want to answer it truthfully. Well, I hate to sound corny but...
Don't...listen. To what others tell you. You have to do what keeps YOU going, what motivates YOU to do better, what makes YOU smile at the end of a long day. For me, it's horseback riding and writing. The wind in my hair, or that sense of accomplishment that I get knowing that others will be entertained and pleased with my ideas. That's what keeps me going. So I don't listen when other people tell me to meditate, or focus, or take a diet, or clean up my mess to eliminate stress. I just go out and do what is going to make ME happy. Because no one else REALLY knows what makes ME truly happy.
In all honesty, I don't really know what makes you happy. This advice could mean absolutely nothing to you, because to you this is just another corny pep talk from your past. All I can say is to do what feels right for you; you have to harness it yourself. Don't rely on others to do it for you.
You only get one life...unless of course, you're Buddhist...either way, live this life to the fullest. ';Follow your heart.';
Good luck.

What's the worst self-help advice you've ever heard?
';Worst'; may refer to most ineffective, most inane, most absurd, funniest, most depressing... or whatever.
Have you ever followed self-help advice that totally backfired on you?
Titles and/or authors of any particularly bad books I can find in the library would be greatly appreciated, too.
Thanks.What's the worst self-help advice you've ever heard?
Here's one that never worked:
';Just hope for the best';
Nothing good happens if you just hope for something to happen!
Things only go the way you want with effort!
and...
';Stay with the group';
People will lead you the wrong way if you let them control your life! You have to make your own decisions if you hope to be successful. Being independent is the best thing you can have. It's better than mindlessly following a group.What's the worst self-help advice you've ever heard?
';Snap out of it!'; Snap out of what? At the time I was miserable and depressed with some very good reasons for being so. It's such a trashy piece of advice. As though you could just wish all your problems away by pretending there's nothing wrong!
';Just be yourself';
Yea, right. If just being myself was working, then why the 'ell do I need advice?
Why do morons always say ';be yourself'; whenever you ask for dating advice? Obviously I AM already ';being myself';. I CANNOT HELP IT.
';I'm doing good so why aren't you?';
';I can wake up in the morning when I'm tired, what's your problem?';
That kinda stuff.
Trust in the Lord...
Give yourself over to Jesus...
Any religious pap that absolves you of having to be responsible for yourself.

...yes there is, for one, I can't fly now can I!?

My sister has that and was told to swim or lay on her stomach, clasp her hands behind her head and lift up her upper torso. It is painful but it has helped her. Also she does some exersises where you put her back up against the walk and go up and down, hurts but after a few weeks she was a bit straighter.

My cockerspaniel, may be pregnant, she got fat and her **** got big what advice can you give me?
my family and i just moved from pennsilvania to texas by car, we brought our 2 dogs with us. The problem is their both oppisite sex and two different breeds of dogs. we ussually keep them seperate, but on the trip they were together alot. Im hoping shes not pregnant, the pups will be mutes, and dont want to deal with that.
Her stomach isnt big but she put on alot of weight, but so did our male dog, so im confused, but i went to go rub her stomach and her **** were poking out like i never seen, do you think im just paranoid?My cockerspaniel, may be pregnant, she got fat and her **** got big what advice can you give me?
please have your dogs spayed and neutered and then you wont have to worry about things like this.My cockerspaniel, may be pregnant, she got fat and her **** got big what advice can you give me?
I think you mean the pups will be mutts, not mutes. Mute means they will not .... oh never mind....
Since it appears to be a mystery to you and I am guessing to your folks, you can just wait and see if puppies are born. If there are pups, your family must be responsible for them and make certain they get all their vaccinations and that you find a great home for each puppy, not just dump them at a shelter. You would take your female in just as soon as she has weaned the puppies and have her spayed. Take your male with her, get him neutered too.
If the Vet doesn't think she is pregnant, then get her spayed NOW. Get the male neutered now, as well.
The pups will not be mutes, they will be mutts. Why not spay and neuter.
There are enough dogs being put down in shelters because of irresponsible people like you. Take them both to the vet and get them fixed. You should have done that a long time ago!!!!!!!!!
She could be coming into season. Is her vagina red and swollen? Honestly if you have two un fixed opposite sexed dogs, you're asking for puppies. Usually you can't even tell the dog is pregnant until the last few weeks of pregnancy so be prepared. You should get at least one of them fixed so you won't have to worry about this in the future.
Was she in heat when you were on the trip? I would take her to the vet. Get her spayed....they can do it even if she is pregnant to avoid the litter.
Call today to make an appt. to have both of your dogs fixed.
She is most likely pregnant. Prepare for the puppies just in case and keep an eye on her. Oh and mutts aren't bad, in fact I have heard that mutts live longer than purebreds. Just don't do anything harmful to them.
take her to the vet
A few questions;
Was your b*tch in season when you moved?
If not, there is nothing to worry about!
If she was in season, were they alone together. What I mean is that if you were in the car with them all the time you would probably have noticed what was going on. If you didn't see anything, she may not be pregnant.
A b*tch doesn't usually start looking fatter until she is around 5 weeks pregnant, and for a hairy dog such as a Cocker Spaniel it may go un-noticed for longer.
Her nipples wouldn't usually get any bigger until the final couple of weeks of pregnancy too.
Also, where on earth would you get the impression that the pups would be mutes, should she be pregnant and have puppies? Even if the dogs are brother and sister it will not throw out mute puppies, unless there is a genetic defect within the dogs joint pedigree.
May I also suggest that you at least get your b*tch spayed. At least you will know that there is no chance of an unplanned pregnancy in the future.

If there are pups, your family must be responsible for them and make certain they get all their vaccinations and that you find a great home for each puppy, not just dump them at a shelter. You would take your female in just as soon as she has weaned the puppies and have her spayed. Take your male with her, get him neutered too.
If the Vet doesn't think she is pregnant, then get her spayed NOW. Get the male neutered now, as well.
The pups will not be mutes, they will be mutts. Why not spay and neuter.
There are enough dogs being put down in shelters because of irresponsible people like you. Take them both to the vet and get them fixed. You should have done that a long time ago!!!!!!!!!
She could be coming into season. Is her vagina red and swollen? Honestly if you have two un fixed opposite sexed dogs, you're asking for puppies. Usually you can't even tell the dog is pregnant until the last few weeks of pregnancy so be prepared. You should get at least one of them fixed so you won't have to worry about this in the future.
Was she in heat when you were on the trip? I would take her to the vet. Get her spayed....they can do it even if she is pregnant to avoid the litter.
Call today to make an appt. to have both of your dogs fixed.
She is most likely pregnant. Prepare for the puppies just in case and keep an eye on her. Oh and mutts aren't bad, in fact I have heard that mutts live longer than purebreds. Just don't do anything harmful to them.
take her to the vet
A few questions;
Was your b*tch in season when you moved?
If not, there is nothing to worry about!
If she was in season, were they alone together. What I mean is that if you were in the car with them all the time you would probably have noticed what was going on. If you didn't see anything, she may not be pregnant.
A b*tch doesn't usually start looking fatter until she is around 5 weeks pregnant, and for a hairy dog such as a Cocker Spaniel it may go un-noticed for longer.
Her nipples wouldn't usually get any bigger until the final couple of weeks of pregnancy too.
Also, where on earth would you get the impression that the pups would be mutes, should she be pregnant and have puppies? Even if the dogs are brother and sister it will not throw out mute puppies, unless there is a genetic defect within the dogs joint pedigree.
May I also suggest that you at least get your b*tch spayed. At least you will know that there is no chance of an unplanned pregnancy in the future.
My sister has decided after the advice ,not to try high heels wearing the full length calliper so thank you!?
Your welcome?
Edit after details were added**
Oh I see.
Well first off, sorry about her paralyzed leg. I hope it heals soon.
Now with the question.
I think she was probably looking at herself in the mirror to see how the trousers looked. If she has something like a cast on, or a wrap on her leg, maybe she was checking to see if it bulged out.
It could be that your sister has a low self-confidence level as well. The best thing would be to consult this with your sister herself. If your too scared to do that, then maybe ask someone who's also really close to her... such as your mom/dad, or her best friend. None of us here are actually her, nor are we mind-reading physic's. Everything I just wrote is in my opinion, but it doesn't mean it's correct.
Good luck %26amp; Best wishes! :)My sister has decided after the advice ,not to try high heels wearing the full length calliper so thank you!?
umm ok i guess? what was her question, i want to know what this is about. please add details!!
oh, thanks for adding details, it sounds like her self esteem is low, give her compliments, and encourage her. show her u care. : )revlon colorstay

Please help me, I need some advice from you on behalf of a friend?
My friend has joined a consultancy firm recently %26amp; he has been placed with a big client firm %26amp; his job is going on smoothly. Last week his H-1b visa got approved, so he can work in the US for the next 3 years. He is delighted with this news, but he is also facing a little problem here.
He is planning to spend some time with his parents in the coming winter. His parents have a tourist visa to come and visit him in the winter, but they are refusing to come to the US to spend time with him because of his sister's serious health problems. This leaves him with the option of himself going to his home country and visiting his parents %26amp; his sister. But he is paranoid about doing this because some of his friends warned him that the US immigration is very strict when it comes to consultancies %26amp; they may deny his re-entry to the US because his visa is being sponsored by a consultant.
He desperately wants to meet his parents %26amp; vice versa. What approach do you suggest he take in this issue?Please help me, I need some advice from you on behalf of a friend?
Talk to a local immigration attorney.Please help me, I need some advice from you on behalf of a friend?
He needs to choose which is the more important issue In his life, to go see his family or stay in America and go with it.
He also could contact the American immigration to see what options he has, if any.
Ask this to the people that gave him the visa. I'm sure they can work it out.
Or, he can walk across the border to Mexico, walk back across as an illegal, move his entire family here, and enjoy free benefits.
the immigration centers have what is called advance parole travel [not sure if he would fall into this category BUT would worth him looking it up on the USCIS web site.
Oh and of course you pay for this piece of paper was almost $200.00 and is there for you to be able to travel outside the USA whilst papers are being processed, in certain emergencies it can be done and picked up at the local offices, BUT he must remember if he leaves before things are decided then yes they can deny him re entry and there would be little a lawyer could do for him at that point.
regards
As long as he has valid H-1B status and is still working for the entity that got the visa for him, he will have no problem leaving and re-entering the US.
oh, wow. this is a tough one. it seems hopeless at a first glance, but i'm certain there is a way to figure this out.
the first thing that comes to mind is an immigration lawyer. he could hire one prior to leaving the u.s. to fight for him in case his re-entry is denied. that way he could have some inside help.
secondly, maybe you could help as well. you yourself could be some inside help. also, you are a witness to him being here and situation.
consult an immigration center and ask them for advice just to be sure.
that's all i can muster up. besides that, pray to God. i wish you and your friend well and God bless. oh, and bless the woman who is in ill health.
i am pretty sure he can go back for family emergencies. just because US might seem 'stricken' doesn't mean the immigration laws have changed. i can almost guarantee that he can go back for at least 21 days.
he doesn't' have to go to an immigration attorney to resolve this issue....he can get free advice from his consulate....they would be able to tell him if he can go or not and for how long and what permits/transit visa he might need. but its totally doable. also ask him to take his utility bills and a notarized letter from his employer confirming his work status.
He could marry someone.. that's all I know of...

Has anyone taken a class given by Gotham Writer's Workshop in NYC? What advice can you give me? ?
Are classroom setting classes better than the online option? Did you benefit from taking the classes? Has anyone taken a class given by Gotham Writer's Workshop in NYC? What advice can you give me? ?
I looked into them at one time but didn't enroll. They're quite expensive compared to writing classes elsewhere (New York, what can you say?), and possibly no better than what's available online for free at sites like AbsoluteWrite.
If you do decide to enroll, consider the classroom setting, which IMO is alway preferable to any form of 'distance learning.'

Why when you ask for advice about highschool relationships people always end with 'well it won't work anyway'?
I keep asking my friends what to do with this girl and they give little-detailed responses but always end with ';but don't worry about it, relationships in high school never work out anyways';. Why do people have to be so negative?Why when you ask for advice about highschool relationships people always end with 'well it won't work anyway'?
theyre just bitter. [:Why when you ask for advice about highschool relationships people always end with 'well it won't work anyway'?
It's nothing personal, just that it is true most of the time. The fact is that the person you are now is very unlikely going to be the person you will be once out of high school. That, plus just the fact that in high school, relationships are viewed through much different eyes than they are after.
So simple answer: people change, and rarely do high school relationships last through that change.

What advice do you have for students that drop out of high school?
Go back to school and get your education. It is the best thing that you can achieve in life.What advice do you have for students that drop out of high school?
The advice I have for someone who drops out of high school is: Go back and finish! Get that diploma! At the very least get a GED.
It's rough out here and you NEED education to get ANYWHERE. Rare is the person who can make it for good and for long on bluff and bluster alone.
No matter the reason -- go back, finish, improve oneself.
Besides, education is its own reward.What advice do you have for students that drop out of high school?
Did you know that people who have college degrees earn more than double what those that just graduate from high school? That translate into $100,000. per year (example) for a college graduate and $50,000. per year for a high school graduate. If you don't even graduate from high school, just imagine how less money you would make. Stay in school. You can do it!
Get a GED
do you want to go back? if you do try the year coming
get a job
learn the phrase ';would you like fries with that';
Get your G.E.D. and go to a community college and get at least a minimum of a 2 year associate's degree that you can pick up a vocation. You will regret dropping out of school someday. If you don't go beyond high school, you may make it, but statistics show that you will double your income if you have a vocation or college education.
Seek alternative resources for obtaining your diploma or GED. Online learning, Life Skills education center, JOB Corps, etc. Your education is vital, it is a means to assist you in enriching your life. It will open doors, that may ultimately be closed without your diploma. The future is making great changes, one is that without an education job seekers are going to face many challenges when seeking employment opportunites. As you get older you will understand the importance of knowledge, high school may seem bleak right now , but, stay focused on the prize (Diploma), it opens doors to college, employment, and self gratification, accomplishment.
drop back in, as fast as you can
Go back to school. Quick.
first of all I have a question for you...Why in the world would you drop out of high school? And the best advvice is unles you have a garenteed, well paying job, you need to go back to school. and get the education that you need. Once you graduate you will see that everything that you did wasn't as hard as you made it seem and that it was all simple compared to what you have to face in the future. If you think that you can go with out geting your deploma or GED you are crazy, most jobs that pay good money require that you have eather a GED or high school deploma. so droping out you are only hearting yourself in the long run.
get your G.e.d. and then GO TO COLLEGE!!!!! i say this from personal experience- i dropped out and the ged was verrry easy (with a ged prep course) but i never was able to REAlly make any decent money with out a degree (that WAS A HUGE MISTAKE I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!!) and i f i had it to do all over again i would have went to college then insted of now at 29. DO U WANT A FAST FOOD OR RETAIL BULLSH*T JOB?? DO U WANT TO BE BOSSED AROUND BY A 16 YEAR OLD WHEN YOU ARE 26?
Get your GED. In today's work environment, its nearly mandatory.
go back %26amp; finish.
Get your GED
Go back to school. If not at least try to get your GED.
try to get into a program that helps you get your ged and maybe give you some work partime too.. there is programs out there like that.. you go to school and you work too...contact the job council.. i know they have one here but i do not even know where you live.. contact your local welfare office and see if they have any program like that...
Don't.
why did you drop out of high school!?
go back to school because even McDonalds wont hire you
go back and graduate. everyone thinks that if they drop out and go back later on to get their GED, that's its going to be a peice of cake, when really its not.
i dropped out for a short while but believe me, without a proper education these days it is difficult to hack it out there. even if you were to go into business you need to have some brains and the brains get bigger when you go back to study. i am now 51 years old and i am back at school for a PhD - not those fly by night degrees but from a first class university. i have 3 children, all graduated. so what say you? if i can go back at 51, it is still not too late for you.
get a GED, you need your education if not you won't have a nice future... don't you want a nice future?
';Do you want fries with that?';
Enroll back in high school as soon as you can, and request a referral to your school psychologist. You have likely been struggling with family matters or learning problems that were not resolved. You need support, and it is there for you. Your school psychologist can assess your problems, provide counselling, act as an advocate, and help your teachers to provide accommodations for you. If you have learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia) you can get special equipment to assist you in class (e.g., software that reads aloud to you over headphones, etc.).revlon colorstay

What advice would you have for an 11th grader going to a whole new high school because they moved houses?
I just moved and I really need advice please????What advice would you have for an 11th grader going to a whole new high school because they moved houses?
On day one observe. Don't be too quick (or desparate) to find friends, feel the scene. Figure out who you want to be associated with before you dive in. Start conversations off very neutral and build upon commonalities. Before you know it you will have a new set of friends.
One word of advice: once you build a few new friendships don't be catty, your relationship(s) will still be fragile and might not be sturdy so save any backstabbing comments for your diary ;)What advice would you have for an 11th grader going to a whole new high school because they moved houses?
just be cool be yourself try and find friends in your classes dont go lookin for em the normally come to you and just go from there... stay away from the preppy bitchs tho :]
Just talk to everyone and be outgoing. If you do that you will prolly make friends real soon. =]

Granddaughter wants to be a Writer. What advice do you give?
Granddaughter loves to read and write and thinks everything in the world is funny and all people stupid but loveable. I was hoping for an Accountant like her Grandmom and Mom.
If you ever made money off writing, what advice would you give her. She is off to college in September, buts wants to be published before she gets there.Granddaughter wants to be a Writer. What advice do you give?
Getting published is hard but their are some paths she can take in college to ensure a career in writing.
I never understood why people don't think that writers make money. Who do you think they pay to write instruction manuals, advertisements, websites, and any other printed or electronic document you encounter in your daily life? A WRITER!
It may not be her dream, but this how many of us writers make our money and pay our bills.
I am an English major at Georgia State University. My concentration is Rhetoric and Composition which prepares students in my field to become technical and professional writers. We write anything from business documents to grant proposals to children's books.
To encourage her, remind her that writing is not always a glorious profession. We're not all huddled in our home libraries conjuring up the latest idea for a next bestseller. Many of us become professional or technical writers for corporations or manufactures. Our spare time is when we truly let our creativity flow. And a lucky few of us will have some of that creativity land on the shelf of a local bookstore.
From now and forever she should continue to read and write. The best way to begin getting published is to submit articles or stories to journals. Their are thousands out their and many are scams so it s going to take a bit of research to find the one that right for publishing her work.
Majoring in English can prepare her for a career in:
Professional Writing
Technical Writing
Editing
Publishing
Grant Writing
Journalism
Document Design
Rhetorical Research
TeachingGranddaughter wants to be a Writer. What advice do you give?
Writing is a demanding business. She needs to understand that, and if she's going to pursue that, she definitely needs to be prepared. There is a lot of competition and she needs a good agent. While going through the long publishing process, she should get a different job, to keep in the background, you know sort of a back up. Many times, authors get turned down, especially their first time. If she really aspires to have her books on the shelves, tell her to keep writing.
I wish her good luck(:
Well, then, I hope she's already written a book. Short of that, she won't get it published before she gets there, sorry.
But what she needs to do is write every day. When she's got a work finished, she can send off a query letter to agents, who'll either reject her or accept her and help her get it published.
Oh, and for the person who said that writing is a hobby? Clearly you're not experienced. Writing can be one of the most profitable careers out there, particularly in today's day and age.
Help? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
Just support her as much as you can:)
Tell her to do something for her education, writing is a hobby, not really anything you can live off of.
Just tell her to keep at it... try to get her work out there, and maybe start out writing for a newspaper/magazine if she wants to make money right away.
She needs to read and write. OFTEN! The best way to learn your craft is to study those who perfected it before you. I learned most of what I know about writing simply from reading well written books and practicing writing. Also practice makes perfect. If there is somewhere for you to take classes then do. She can major in English or Creative writing with the latter being the most influential in order to sharpen your skills. Or if the schhol allows she can take creative writing as an elective. Mind you, colleges that teach creative writing don't teach you how to write commercial fiction. These are your Harry Potters, Twilights, Clicks, or any mainstream novel. Instead they teach literary fiction which are the books she might consider boring. Books by people like, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, and others. Don't get me wrong, creative writing programs are great. I'm in one now. The techniques they teach you are literary in nature but can help you when writing stronger commercial fiction. And who knows she might find hersel more inclined to writing literary commercial fiction like J.R.R Tolkien and C.S.Lewis. Good luck and practice practice PRACTICE!!!
Now getting published is another thing entirely.
Don't want to crush any hopes but it might not be possible to be published before she reaches college simply because its a long and tedious process even after finding an agent.
Getting a book published is a long process that may very well take years.
Starting by actually writing the book. Ignore the logistics of getting published until you are done. You might put together a great marketing plan but all that will come to a grinding halt when you realize that you have nothing to market.
1. The first thing to do is to completely finish your book. When I say completely I mean having edited it within an inch of its life, having someone else edit it, and then edit it again. Make sure the book is the best that it can be. If you don't feel up to the task of editing then there are companies that will. Mind you, these companies are expensive. It cost about $1000 dollars to have the average 50,000 word book edited. Also, as a writer it is in your best interest to learn how to edit your own work.
2. Do the research on how to write a query letter. This is the hardest part because you have to take a 50,000 word or more book and sell it in one page. Do no skimp on this part because it is what gets you through the door. The very first thing literary agents see is your query letter. No matter how brilliant your book is, if you bomb the query letter then you will be rejected. Also, research how to write a synopsis since literary agents may also request that and an outline.
3. Decide what genre you're book is. Research the different genres and match your book to the best one. Be as accurate as possible because agencies tend to only represent certain genres and you don't want to submit your adult thriller novel to an agent that represents children's literature. This is another sure fire way to be rejected.
4. Research different literary agents. My suggestion is to use Writer's Market. Narrow down your list to agencies that are, I. accepting new submissions and II. represent your specific genre. Once you have done this read each agencies submission guidelines carefully. Don't assume that all guidelines are the same. They are not. The guidelines vary from agency to agency. Many agencies have several agents and ask that you only submit to one. Query the agent that represents your genre.
5. Submit your novel according to the guidelines and prepare to wait. It may take months to hear a response from an agency. Once you are signed with agency they will do the work of finding you a publisher (here comes another part of publishing, developing your writing platform*). The time from agency signing to actually publishing can take about a year, give or take.
Do's: Finish and edit your novel, research each agency thoroughly, follow the submissions guideline thoroughly, perfect your query letter and synopsis, be patient
Don'ts: Keep calling the agency to see if they received your query, send your manuscript unless they request it or unless the submission guidelines SAY its okay, pay money upfront to any agent or publisher
Wish her good luck!!
Hope this helps not a published writer, yet, but I've done my research and she should too.
If you ever made money off writing, what advice would you give her. She is off to college in September, buts wants to be published before she gets there.Granddaughter wants to be a Writer. What advice do you give?
Getting published is hard but their are some paths she can take in college to ensure a career in writing.
I never understood why people don't think that writers make money. Who do you think they pay to write instruction manuals, advertisements, websites, and any other printed or electronic document you encounter in your daily life? A WRITER!
It may not be her dream, but this how many of us writers make our money and pay our bills.
I am an English major at Georgia State University. My concentration is Rhetoric and Composition which prepares students in my field to become technical and professional writers. We write anything from business documents to grant proposals to children's books.
To encourage her, remind her that writing is not always a glorious profession. We're not all huddled in our home libraries conjuring up the latest idea for a next bestseller. Many of us become professional or technical writers for corporations or manufactures. Our spare time is when we truly let our creativity flow. And a lucky few of us will have some of that creativity land on the shelf of a local bookstore.
From now and forever she should continue to read and write. The best way to begin getting published is to submit articles or stories to journals. Their are thousands out their and many are scams so it s going to take a bit of research to find the one that right for publishing her work.
Majoring in English can prepare her for a career in:
Professional Writing
Technical Writing
Editing
Publishing
Grant Writing
Journalism
Document Design
Rhetorical Research
TeachingGranddaughter wants to be a Writer. What advice do you give?
Writing is a demanding business. She needs to understand that, and if she's going to pursue that, she definitely needs to be prepared. There is a lot of competition and she needs a good agent. While going through the long publishing process, she should get a different job, to keep in the background, you know sort of a back up. Many times, authors get turned down, especially their first time. If she really aspires to have her books on the shelves, tell her to keep writing.
I wish her good luck(:
Well, then, I hope she's already written a book. Short of that, she won't get it published before she gets there, sorry.
But what she needs to do is write every day. When she's got a work finished, she can send off a query letter to agents, who'll either reject her or accept her and help her get it published.
Oh, and for the person who said that writing is a hobby? Clearly you're not experienced. Writing can be one of the most profitable careers out there, particularly in today's day and age.
Help? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
Just support her as much as you can:)
Tell her to do something for her education, writing is a hobby, not really anything you can live off of.
Just tell her to keep at it... try to get her work out there, and maybe start out writing for a newspaper/magazine if she wants to make money right away.
She needs to read and write. OFTEN! The best way to learn your craft is to study those who perfected it before you. I learned most of what I know about writing simply from reading well written books and practicing writing. Also practice makes perfect. If there is somewhere for you to take classes then do. She can major in English or Creative writing with the latter being the most influential in order to sharpen your skills. Or if the schhol allows she can take creative writing as an elective. Mind you, colleges that teach creative writing don't teach you how to write commercial fiction. These are your Harry Potters, Twilights, Clicks, or any mainstream novel. Instead they teach literary fiction which are the books she might consider boring. Books by people like, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, and others. Don't get me wrong, creative writing programs are great. I'm in one now. The techniques they teach you are literary in nature but can help you when writing stronger commercial fiction. And who knows she might find hersel more inclined to writing literary commercial fiction like J.R.R Tolkien and C.S.Lewis. Good luck and practice practice PRACTICE!!!
Now getting published is another thing entirely.
Don't want to crush any hopes but it might not be possible to be published before she reaches college simply because its a long and tedious process even after finding an agent.
Getting a book published is a long process that may very well take years.

Can you please give me some career advice?
I'm 18 years old and living in India. I have an interest in electronics (especially cell phones). I don't know anything about programming or developing applications for cell phones however. i'm currently doing engineering. I want some advice on which would be the ideal career for me. one that is related in some manner to cell phones or electronics and that will also provide a good pay. please advice.Can you please give me some career advice?
Find a professor who can serve as a mentor. However, their industry knowledge is limited since they are teaching and not actually working in the industry.
Until you are certain, I suggest you keep studying engineering. In the meantime, learn how to program. Go find and talk with people who are working on cell phone applications. Don't be shy.
In general, people in India tend to be extremely focussed in their careers. So, it is very important that you find something you enjoy and also something that will be around for the next 50 years.Can you please give me some career advice?
There's quite a demand for cell techs all over the world. Just grab a hold and hang on tight. It's bound to be a fun ride.
It's nice to hear that you have a lot of passion for your future career! :) Don't get lost in the details. If you want a future in cell phone applications then learn how to do that. Colleges usually can steer you in the right direction for a job after you graduate.

What do you feel you could give advice about?
Oh I do have a few things up my sleeve.What do you feel you could give advice about?
Oh! ';D'; I am the font of all knowledge! (well I think I am) I do know a little bit about a lot of things, try me out!What do you feel you could give advice about?
Everyone has good advice to give because they have unique life experiences and because everyone is farther down the learning curve than someone else. A little three year old girl I cared for long ago struggled terribly, impatient with herself, over not being able to tie her own shoes. Then, when she was six years old, she was watching me work with another three year old who was struggling with the frustration of not being able to tie his own shoes. The little girl joined us and said she would help the boy. I stood close by and observed as she patiently and successfully taught him how to tie his shoes. When he bounded off happily, the little girl wrapped her arms around my legs and dazzled me with her wisdom. She said, ';That was soooooooooooo hard to learn when I was I his age. But, it is easy to do now when I am older.'; She thought about it for a moment and then said, ';I thought I was stupid because I could not learn how to tie my shoes. But EVERYBODY learns how to tie their shoes, don't they? I wonder what seems hard for me today that won't be hard to do someday when I'm older?'; Her name was Maxi. She owns a huge restaurant chain and is soooooooo patient these days with herself. : ) I have no doubt whatsoever that YOU have a few things up your sleeve to teach and share with others, too.

What do you think is the best advice you can give someone whos moving away from home for the first time?
Ive always lived with family but im thinking its time for me to move out on my own. i would really appreciate some advice.What do you think is the best advice you can give someone whos moving away from home for the first time?
Call and visit your family often. You'll need them.What do you think is the best advice you can give someone whos moving away from home for the first time?
%26gt;The very first thing I would do upon moving into a new home, is to go out and buy a couple of birdfeeders, and stock up on black oil sunflower seeds. Hang the feeders outside of windows (kitchen, bathroom, living room) where you get a good view all day long. Birds are SO much fun to watch! and so cheerful to hear them sing! It will really make your home more ';homey.';
%26gt;Second thing I would do is BUY PLANTS. Plants are absolutely necessary to make a house a home! Plus, they give off oxygen 24/7, and this helps make your house environment fresher and healthier.
%26gt;ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS save at least 15% out of EVERY paycheck, put it in a savings account, and do not TOUCH it no matter what. I cannot begin to tell you how important it is to have some sort of 'cushion' in the Real World.
%26gt;Be very, very selective and discriminating about who you let into your home, and NEVER bring home strangers. There are some very bad people in the world, and they don't carry a sign, you know. They look just like you and me.
%26gt; Always keep a tidy home. You don't have to be obsessive about it, but it does matter. Get into the habit of picking up on a daily basis, and it'll be easier not to get overwhelmed.
%26gt;Always shop for bargains, and it's essential to resist the urge to ';impulse buy.'; THIS is very important! When you're on your own, you simply MUST be very budget-conscious.
Everyone gave great advice. One thing...dont get carried away with new found freedom. Living on your own is great but you really have to be responsible. Make sure someone you trust (parent or sibling) has a copy of your key in case you lock yourself out or theres an emergency. This does not give them permission to enter your home whenever they want to though. Also, if you can...get a roommate or a pet. Pets keep ya company, and roommates, if you pick the right one, help keep costs down...cause lets face it...living on your own is MIGHTY expensive. OH AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: I dont know what part of the world you live in, but try to get a place that has heat and hot water included!!!!! This can save you between $300-$600 a month during cold months!!!!
its a big world and most of it is really evil
stay home safe !
ha ha ha ha kidding ! sure its evil but only half of it enjoy it its also Beautiful there is tons and tons of lovely people and its amazing simply amazing
follow your heart and remember that only you can make you happy. the rest will be trial and error you'll look in the mirror in the morning and learn more about that energy as you go.
remember all the things your mom has taught you. and don't blow money! if you are paying your own bills you have to budget and spend wisely.
Word to the wise is, be prepared for surprises.

Please can you give me some advice on litter training a 6 week old kitten.?
Her mummy is allowed outdoors and does not appear to be showing her how to use the litter as I expected her to.Please can you give me some advice on litter training a 6 week old kitten.?
You may want to try giving her a litter pan to ';play'; in/with. With the kittens I am taking care of it worked. They started to play and dig in it as soon as I presented it to them... and the rest they did on their own.Please can you give me some advice on litter training a 6 week old kitten.?
There are many ways actually
you can take some dirt in some old LARGE pan (clean)
and fill it with dirt. and place it where she usually uses it.
When she starts using it there praise her with treats/compliments after a while switch it to a litter box
with litter in it
P.S.-make sure the dirt is bug free and clean and WITHOUT
fertilizer
I hope this helps:)
actually, we JUST trained our 6 week old in the last 3 days. [we got him three days ago]
all we did was after he ate, we placed him in the litterbox. when he defecated on the rug, we transported it to the litterbox so he would get the point - POOPY GOES IN THE LITTER BOX! hahaha... He finally used the litterbox himself today, May 3. We got him May 1 and have been using the method since the 1st...
SOOO, yep. Good Luck with her.
You'll have to watch the kitten. When you see her start to go, pick her up and put her in the littler box. No way to say how many times you'll have to do it before she gets the idea.
Whatever you do, DON'T punish her or yell at her; she doesn't know she's doing anything wrong. Also, she may think you're telling her not to empty her bladder or bowels AT ALL.
wen my cats were kittens i personally trained all mine, i kept a small tray in every room that the kittens went in, i tried to keep them in 1 room. every 30minutes or so i picked up the kitten and placed on litter if it got off i just kept putting it back on till it stayed there for a few minutes, kittens are quick at learning and mine always caught on rather quickly
Keep her in a small room such as a bath room with her food and litter. After she eats put her in the litter box. and do it again before you go to bed. After she is comfortably using the box you can start letting her have the run of the house.
alison w said it fine. :)
Place the kitten in the box 1/2 hour after play or meals.
Stimulate interest in the litter by stirring it.
Let the kitten jump in and out of the litter box instead of restraining him.
Place some stool in the litter box (builds associations between litter box and bathroom needs).
Use a litter with pellets as these mask the wet feel.
If the kitten was born and raised outside, they may have a tendency to want to maintain those outside habits inside your home. You may find that they might try and use your plants as a litter box. A kitten that was born and raised, for the first several weeks, inside by its mother will have the advantage of its mother's help in the litter training process, and other domestications. Kittens, generally, can begin to use a litter box at about four weeks of age, and a kitten being raised without its mother or adult cat will take slightly longer to litter train; so, keep this in mind when you begin the task of litter training your kitten.
Cats are naturally a remarkably clean and fastidious animal and will usually learn quite quickly how to use a litter tray. Some kittens can be put in the litter tray and they instinctively go back there but others simply refuse to use the litter tray and will always find a nice corner of the room. The other problem here is that once one of the kittens starts using a corner of the room, the other may think that they should be using it too.
You really need to spend a fair amount of time with the kittens continually picking them up after eating or drinking and putting them in the litter tray. You can also buy a spray that attracts them to the litter tray. Cat urine does not do the carpets any good and if you allow the cat to continually use the corner of a room, you will soon find that the carpet discolors and you can never really get rid of that awful smell.
You could use a ';pet behave spray'; which is basically a spray that can be applied to any soft furnishing - carpets, stairs, settees etc and will deter the cat from going near as they hate the smell. You will also need to clean the litter tray daily if you have more than one cat. The only solution is perseverance and a willingness to clean up a lot of cat waste before they finally learn where they are supposed to go! You should never scold a young cat for fouling in the wrong place and certainly never rub its nose in it.

wen my cats were kittens i personally trained all mine, i kept a small tray in every room that the kittens went in, i tried to keep them in 1 room. every 30minutes or so i picked up the kitten and placed on litter if it got off i just kept putting it back on till it stayed there for a few minutes, kittens are quick at learning and mine always caught on rather quickly
Keep her in a small room such as a bath room with her food and litter. After she eats put her in the litter box. and do it again before you go to bed. After she is comfortably using the box you can start letting her have the run of the house.
alison w said it fine. :)
Place the kitten in the box 1/2 hour after play or meals.
Stimulate interest in the litter by stirring it.
Let the kitten jump in and out of the litter box instead of restraining him.
Place some stool in the litter box (builds associations between litter box and bathroom needs).
Use a litter with pellets as these mask the wet feel.
If the kitten was born and raised outside, they may have a tendency to want to maintain those outside habits inside your home. You may find that they might try and use your plants as a litter box. A kitten that was born and raised, for the first several weeks, inside by its mother will have the advantage of its mother's help in the litter training process, and other domestications. Kittens, generally, can begin to use a litter box at about four weeks of age, and a kitten being raised without its mother or adult cat will take slightly longer to litter train; so, keep this in mind when you begin the task of litter training your kitten.
Cats are naturally a remarkably clean and fastidious animal and will usually learn quite quickly how to use a litter tray. Some kittens can be put in the litter tray and they instinctively go back there but others simply refuse to use the litter tray and will always find a nice corner of the room. The other problem here is that once one of the kittens starts using a corner of the room, the other may think that they should be using it too.
You really need to spend a fair amount of time with the kittens continually picking them up after eating or drinking and putting them in the litter tray. You can also buy a spray that attracts them to the litter tray. Cat urine does not do the carpets any good and if you allow the cat to continually use the corner of a room, you will soon find that the carpet discolors and you can never really get rid of that awful smell.
You could use a ';pet behave spray'; which is basically a spray that can be applied to any soft furnishing - carpets, stairs, settees etc and will deter the cat from going near as they hate the smell. You will also need to clean the litter tray daily if you have more than one cat. The only solution is perseverance and a willingness to clean up a lot of cat waste before they finally learn where they are supposed to go! You should never scold a young cat for fouling in the wrong place and certainly never rub its nose in it.
What do you think of this advice/observation?
An old bf once told me that most men leave a relationship when they have another woman waiting in the wings while women just jump out ';without a lifeboat'; as it were. I thought it was a bit dishonest, but he said it was practical. Your thoughts, please...What do you think of this advice/observation?
Lol I don't agree with the practice, but I think that it's a pretty fair estimate of what typically happens.
I mean, hey, read through some of the dating questions on here and take a tally.
Anyway, women end the relationship when they no longer feel it will work. Men discover they don't think it will work and start looking. when they find their ';lifeboat'; they jump ship.
I don't agree with it. But that's often what happens.What do you think of this advice/observation?
Anyone who says ';most men x'; aren't giving useful advice. You can't put most men into the same behavioral category, just like you can't with women.
Realistically, there are women who do what your guy friend said guys do and guys who do what your guy friend says women do. It's not a gender thing.
The world is full of people who act all kinds of ways and our sex has nothing to do with it, our respect and experience does.
Yes, that would seem to be accurate. My ex fiance did that to me with some gas station chick. Then he knocked her up and got married to her 6 months after we broke up....I on the other hand was left without a boat.
I think it's the opposite to be honest. Most guys who end relationships want to play the field and get with a few women before they settle down again.
I seriously don't think you can generalize like that. No two ppl are the same; no two react the same.

Please could you give me some advice on how to deal with Obcessive Complusive Disorder?
My son who is 13 has OCD and imagines that if he looks in a window he will lose his skill at playing footballPlease could you give me some advice on how to deal with Obcessive Complusive Disorder?
Actually it's Obsessive
You spelled it wrong :] And before you get mad, I have OCD.
The best you can do is work around his OCD and fears.
When he's older, get him tested for ADHD, Tourette's Syndrome and Bi-Polar disorder. All these seem to run together.
But as I said, you have to work around them and ease him to lose his compulsions. Like I have to stack things into size order or I have panic attacks, sometimes I let a paper or two stay out to try to ignore it, I'm trying to ease myself from my compulsions.Please could you give me some advice on how to deal with Obcessive Complusive Disorder?
i have it..and that seems like more or less of a supersticious belief rather than ocd. tell him that whatever bothers him only he can control. its in his head and he needs to work on ways to figure it out. it makes it less stressful and easier. hope that helped

Who usually gives you the best advice?
And do you ever take it?
My little sister, and no. I never do. And when she is right (which she always is), she never says ';I told you so';. Maybe she should start.Who usually gives you the best advice?
I don't think anyone knows me well enough to offer me good advice......so I just try to think about what I did in my past lives.
I'm also planning on watching the movie, ';Slumdog Millionaire';. It's on iTunes now, and I bet there are lots of important life lessons in it. Like if you were a hungry orphan living on the streets of Calcutta and saw an unwatched basket of fruit, would you know what to do? I'm not sure I would.Who usually gives you the best advice?
Patrick. He's super smart and knows me . He thinks a lot.
He usually talks me into taking my own advice.
Y!A community
no kidding
I rarely ask for advice. But I have some pretty great friends who let me vent. That's pretty cool....
my friends%26amp; family, sometimes
oprah,and yes I always read the book she tells to read.
Myself....
and recently it was Lord Krishna.
mum, yes.
i don't know. mostly everyone
my mom...
most of the time i do..

I want to live and work in Paris but dont speak much French, what advice would you give?
I'm recently out of University and I currently want to live and work in Paris, however I dont speak much French as I'm English, however I am willing to learn more. What advice would you give and do you know any organisations that may be able to help?
I'm employed here in England but my parents have a house in Southern France, I recently spent a week there and the whole experience has made me want to live there permanantly.
So what would be the best job for me to pick up French quickly and to adapt to a life in Paris?I want to live and work in Paris but dont speak much French, what advice would you give?
If you're living in England you might want to look into the Alliance Francaise. They're all over the world and teach French the conversational way - not the traditional text book way. Of course there'sa huge Alliance in Paris but there are so many resources in Paris for learning the language. One is called WICE http://www.wice-paris.org/ but if you picked up a copy of FUSAC (France USA Contacts) http://www.fusac.fr/en/ there are untold numbers of individuals who teach as well as class settings.I want to live and work in Paris but dont speak much French, what advice would you give?
um. Unemployment is pretty high in France and in any case they give priority to French people, then Europeans, then people of other nationalities.
To work there you need to have a skill and they will decide if you are needed. Even if you have a skill you might not get in if there are French people who can do the job. Your chances are slim to none. Sorry.
Spend as much time as you can at your parents house and talk with the people. Immersion is the best way to learn a language.
First identify the line of work you are interested in and then try to learn French as fast as possible. France is not a rude country as some provincial people might lead you to believe. It is only rude for one to go to a country without respecting its culture and language.
Good luck!
The obvious : get a girlfriend ! Always works best !
go to you library and get the self teaching tapes for French....
You can go there and try to work for the summer as a waiter or as a sport-instructor (check on http://www.anpe.fr, national job agency).
Or you can go there and contact the ';Alliance Fran莽aise'; so that they give you information on how to get French lessons while you're there.
Try getting a job in a restaurant, that will make you learn very quickly. Also buy a french language learning CD that comes with a work book. Good luck!
Buy a cd rom that teches you french.
Learn the language. Many people in France and Europe as a whole speak a few languages and many of them speak English enough to be understood. You French will sound the same to them but you will learn by speaking it. Get some CD's and an English/French dictionary and then go stay with you folks for awhile. Talk to people. Study to build a vocabulary but talking to people and listening to them will be the best way to learn. Best of Luck with living your dream
Yes I do,
move and live in a country that is civilized, france is a crude rude country
Try this:
http://french.about.com/cs/forbeginners/鈥?/a>
my advice is to learn french. take some night school to learn it. hire a private tutor. do what ever it is u need to do before u go to live in a country that the primary language is french. the pimsler learning program is an excellent way to pick some up. if u have good credientials i would recomend learning french first then going to live over there. you will not make much money unless u can find a place that hires people who only speak english. discuss it with your parents. perhaps they can help u follow ur dream good luck
There is nothing we can't learn, and the more you teach yourself the quicker you learn.
How quickly do you want to speak French?
Well, what ya waiting for, in three months time you COULD BE speaking pretty damn good french-IF YA WANT TO THAT IS ;););)
THE MORE YOU LEARN, THE QUICKER YOU LEARN IT!
go to class.
Ehehhe..What a question.!! The only reasonable thing you might do is to start learning scrupulously French ..what remedy you deem else if you really intend to go and live there?? Why you need a job right now when your parents even has a house in Southern France..hahh Well,then why you don't invite me to join you in your future stay in France..
