It's hard to explain...it almost seems as if her diaphragm is spasming or she is trying to get a hairball up or something. It's not a normal cough. She is doing it every few minutes!! She...

    My cat is annoying me!

    Roxy has been peeing outside the litter box a lot. I have not yet taken her to the vet and am 98% sure it is behavioral. She has sporadically used our laundry basket to pee the past couple of years (2-3 times/year) and noticed an increase in this 2 years ago when my roommate at the time had a...

    Last night, DH and I got in a bad fight where he ended up walking out of the house and returning very late at night (he's never walked out before). I think this was our worst ever.

    Some people shouldn't own pets

    This is far from the worst story about poor pet owners, but is still ticked me off! This afternoon I was in my backyard studying and my dog (Samson) was out there with me. All the sudden Samson started barking like crazy, ran to the fence and jumped up on the fence. I didn't see what he was...
