What do dog groomers use to make dogs smell so good?

MrAuthor — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:01:48 +0000

This is going to sound like a weird question, but how do dog groomers get the dogs to have that certain smell – I can’t explain it, but every dog groomer I’ve ever been to has made my dogs smell the same way. I love it Is there a certain shampoo or spray that they use?

I'm trying to find light chocolate cake, one with a consistency like the cake used in Chinese restaurants.

MrAuthor — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 19:40:08 +0000

I want a really light, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cake recipe. Not the icing, but actually the cake layer part. Some Chinese restaurants I have been to serve this cake that is very light and practically melts in your mouth. Does anyone know of a recipe like that? Help! I saw the recipe for the steamed cake, but I don’t have the foggiest idea how I’d do that since I have the simplest of tools and a very tiny kitchen. Does anyone know of one that is baked in an oven instead of steamed? I don’t think the steamed one will work for me at this moment in time.

What toy breed dog would be good to get for a beginner dog owner who is afraid of dogs and their bark?

MrAuthor — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 00:00:05 +0000

I get scared when larger breed dogs growl or bark. I got attacked by a corgi before and certain breeds make me nervous, but the breeds that I like are : Maltese, poodles, schnauzers, pugs and miniature mutts. Also, due to a mild allergy, dogs with coarse hair like labs tend to make my skin itch. Yet, poodles and cavalier king Charles spaniels and those breeds mentioned above didn’t make me itch. A dog would give me an excuse to walk around and not look weird, especially when I go too close to people w/dogs.

Do most Chinese restaurants have items that are truly vegetarian?

MrAuthor — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 20:50:51 +0000

I know all the Chinese restaurants have a "vegetarian" section, but I’m not sure if it is really what I would call vegetarian. I’m afraid they may be making things with fish or oyster sauce, or even other meats for flavoring. I used to eat the Buddhist Delight until someone told me it was probably not actually vegetarian. The problem is, I can never communicate well enough with the employees in the Chinese restaurants in my area to make them understand what I’m asking when I ask about the ingredients. And I can’t easily understand their response to me either. I love them to death – they are the nicest people. I don’t mean to stereotype or anything.

How do I stop my dog attacking other dogs?

MrAuthor — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 00:02:19 +0000

Whenever I go for a walk with my dog, a Jack russell cross, he tries to attack other dogs. I got him from a cats and dogs home a couple of months ago. I like to let him off for a run around because he has a lot of energy. Most of the time there’s another dog in the field and he runs off to it. He won’t come if I call him if there’s another dog and he tries to attack it. A couple of dogs he seems fine with, he sniffs them, then he suddenly tries to attack him. I want to let him off for a run around but theres nowhere else I can do that apart from the field. I want to do something before he gets hurt.

Y do some or many Chinese restaurants NOT devein the shrimp?

MrAuthor — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 19:35:32 +0000

Hello if you don’t devein it you’re eating poop! I notice @ some Chinese restaurants (in TX where I live) the kung pao shrimp is NOT deveined but their jumbo garlic shrimp is. WTF? Anyone know why? I buy my shrimp peeled AND deveined & sometimes precooked!

Should all dogs over 40 pounds be required to be fixed?

MrAuthor — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 00:07:29 +0000

First of all. I am an animal and dog lover. The shelters are overpopulated by large unwanted dogs millions of which are euthanized everry year. Most shelters will have very few if any small dogs and most have a long adoption waiting list for small dogs. Large dogs have two or three times the number of pups per birth than small dogs do. So there is clearly a very serious problem with large dog overpopulation. In addition, large stray dogs acan be a serious danger resulting in thousands of serious hospitalized dog maulings every year. So should all large dogs be required to be fixed by one year old unless it belongs to a licensed dog breeder? Again SMALL DOGS are not the problem. In fact there is a shortage of them judging by the shelters long waiting lists for adoption so that is obviously a waste of time and resources. It is the large dogs who have 10-12 pups per litter vs small dogs 3-4 pups per litter.

MrAuthor — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 19:41:19 +0000

How does a dogs social structure work as a pet within a standard human family?

MrAuthor — Mon, 31 May 2010 00:08:48 +0000

I was lead to believe that most dogs view the humans their most commonly around in much the same way as they’d view other dogs they’d be around in the wild, kind of like a pack. What position within that pack does the family dog give view itself? Does it consider itself to be a member of the pack (family), or does the dog view the family as being members of the dogs pack, and thus the dog views itself as the leader?
