It's all because some residents aren't scooping their dogs' poop. As a cat owner, I think this is unfair. My cats need one another. Can you convince them otherwise? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1285736.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1285736.html Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT It's a question that comes up frequently for interior designers: How do you create a stylish living space when a dog that sheds or a cat that scratches is part of the mix? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1285298.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1285298.html Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: My cat Cassandra is the fattest I've ever seen. I adopted her as a 20-pounder and never managed to get the weight off. I started feeding her only a small handful of kibble twice a day but she got sick and had to be hospitalized for fatty liver disease. The vet said it was my fault for feeding her so little, but I'm worried she's eventually going to die of diabetes or heart disease. If only she would exercise! http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1273919.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1273919.html Sat, 10 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: I have two black pets, Frosty the cat and Chocko the dog. I live in Coconut Grove on a gated property. My pets are always inside the fence but some of my neighbors have told me to be careful since black pets are often targeted this time of the year. I always thought this was an urban myth. What can I do to keep them safe outdoors? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1262712.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1262712.html Sat, 03 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Dougal and Romeo live in different countries and have never met in person. One's a dog, one's a cat. But they're quite the party animals. The two pets -- OK, their owners -- host ''pawpawties'' on Twitter to raise money for animal causes. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1262714.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1262714.html Sat, 03 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: I live in Miami with a service dog. I take him to a dog park that requires leashes but, unfortunately, most of the owners don't comply. My dog has been attacked three times by unleashed dogs. My calls to Parks and Recreation have not been returned. I'm thinking about taking the advice of some friends and carrying a Taser. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1307793.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1307793.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: I've been seeing lots of ads for pet insurance but I'm not sure whether I should get it for our new puppy. The hospital we go to offers a plan but it's only for basic care at one place. Do you have an opinion? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1296339.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1296339.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: My small beagle, April, is getting fat. I've tried everything to make her lose weight and she won't budge. She now only gets one cup of food and one pig ear a day. Please help!
