How Sweet…

December 8, 2007

My brother Paul has a pet snake specifically an albino python. It really scares me every time I see it. The snake is very long and big it’s as if it would eat me. Paul even bought it n special glass cage. My brother feeds his pet some rats and a small pig. The pet food he gives cost him a lot but he doesn’t mind. One time Paul forgot to lock the cage and Sweet the snake got out and it bit our neighbor. That really made my mom really angry because our neighbor will sue us. My mom needed to find a Lawyer Referral Directory and seek legal services to settle everything.

After that incident, my mom told Paul to sell the snake or do something about it. But my brother still keeps the snake. Now Sweet is even bigger and for my mom not to get mad again. Paul lets Sweet breed so that he could sell the off springs. He really earns a lot from this. A lot of snake lovers buy from him. He is now planning to breed some other kinds of snakes. Well he gives my mom some of his earnings so that mom will not to ask him to throw the snakes. Paul loves snakes especially Sweet. Now Sweet’s cage is a lot bigger and there is room in the house just for his snakes.

Preventing Pet Behavior Problems

October 17, 2007

I found a really helpful article that will help you prevent pet behavior problems. Well, it’s actually a list of ten important tips that will help you maintain a well behaved pet:

  1.  Set rules immediately and stick to them.
  2. Avoid situations that promote inappropriate behavior.
  3. Observe the pet and provide what it needs to be cared for and attended to.
  4. Supervise the new pet diligently through undivided individual attention and training, and restrict the pet’s access to a limited area of the house until training is complete.
  5. Encourage good behavior with praise and attention.
  6. Correct bad behaviors by providing positive alternatives. (A toy for a slipper, scratching post for the sofa.)
  7. Never physically punish or force compliance to commands. This may lead to fear biting or aggression.
  8. Don’t play rough or encourage aggression or play biting.
  9. Expose pets to people, animals, and environments where you want them to live.
  10. See your veterinarian if serious or unresolved behavior problems exist.

Following these simple tips will create a better relationship between you and your beloved pets.
