Welcome to Animal Husbandry 101, this is the place for all things animal.

Did you get a new pet? Tell us about it.Do you have a question about pet care? Ask it here. Are you thinking about getting a pet? Let us know.

There are a great many animal lovers at Tweb anxious to hear about and join in the fun.

In addition to the regular set of rules called the DECORUM, others rules will be enforced here as well.

1) Please keep all pets on a leash.
2) Please clean up after those pets that aren't quite paper trained.
3) Gerbils are not good pets. It's a long story

Thank you and let the games begin.

    I agree. One should not buy things on impulse.

      That's right. I don't want the responsibility of owning a dog.

        I guess it is a scaled-down version of not feeling ready for a serious commitment like getting married (despite your liking girls/boys generally) or becoming a parent (despite your liking kids generally).

        We have a dog at home, but as far as responsibility goes, he is my grandparents' dog. We used to have another dog who was functionally our own --until she passed away--, but while she was with us we shared the responsibility.Today, I know I personally couldn't take the responsibility of owning a dog by myself either.

        We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore on Christ's behalf: 'Be reconciled to God!!'
