I have never felt that giving pets as a throw away holiday gift was a very good idea, especially to very young children. They don’t really know how to care for or properly handle a kitten or small puppy. Then after the novelty wears off, the poor animal is often mistreated or neglected, then thrown outside when the coldest part of the winter is settling in to starve or freeze to death. PLEASE - don’t give pets as gifts, especially without consulting parents or guardians!

I have two guinea pigs, a black and white one and a brown one. The black and white one is called Oreo and the brown one is Fudge, who both got their names because of their colour. I also have a Siamese Fighting Fish named Pudge, like the fish in Lilo Stitch that controls the weather and Lilo gives peanut butter sandwiches to every Thursday. How did you come to name your pets?

We rarely go on vacation but this year we are planning a trip to Europe for a month. Have a dog and two cats. We are new to this town and don’t really know anyone. What would be the best thing to do with our pets? If you know the name of a website etc. please include that as well. Thank you very much for any help.

We live on the east coast, and will be moving to Arizona within two years. We have a lot of pets (cats, dogs, chickens, approx.40 total animals) to move with us. I want this as easy and painless as possible for the animals. Flying them is out of the question. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

A Grundo, a Gnorbu, a Gelert, and a Grarrl need to walk from Sakhmet to Qasala during a really bad heat wave. The heat is so bad, it’s not possible to cross the open desert without some sort of shade. Fortunately, they have one umbrella. Unfortunately, however, only a maximum of two pets at a time can fit under the umbrella. The Grundo can cross the desert alone in 20 minutes. The Gnorbu can make the crossing alone in 16 minutes. The Grarrl can make the crossing alone in 8 minutes. And the Gelert can make the crossing in 4 minutes. Note that when two pets are making the crossing, they must do so at the pace of the slower pet!

What is the minimum number of minutes that it will take for all of the pets to safely be together in Qasala?

I live in the state of Washington:

Are all animals that may be considered wild illegal to own in captivity in the state of Washington? If so, by definition, what is a wild animal? How does a wild animal differ from an exotic animal? I am aware that animals such as reptiles, sugar gliders, hedgehogs, among many other animals that may be considered wild are often kept as pets in Washington. If these animals are not regulated and restricted to be kept as pets, which animals are regulated, and may not be kept as a pet in the state of Washington? Why are these animals OK as pets, where as other animals are not?
