Best pet to get???? i go to school, my father works late, my mom will not take care of a pet?

hi. i go to school and would like a pet. school starts at 7:45 and i end at 2:30 usually getting home at about 3. my dad works late ( minus friday, saturday, sunday, other holidays ). my mother would like for the pet to be my responsibility so she will not be taking care of it much. i do not like rodents, fish, birds, or reptiles

( with the exception of turtles which however are pretty boring to own ). can you tell me what kind of pet will not require much attention and is easy to care for yet i can cuddle and play with.

THANKS IN ADVANCE :-) ? ? ?

Considering your preferences, cat seems to be the best choice. Cat will take care of him/herself. He/she will goto bathroom only in the sand box. Just leave him/her plenty of water and food while you are out.

A cat will practically take care of itself.

You can lave food out, It goes in a litter box etc..
well the easiest pet to take care of is a fish but you don't like fish.. well i would have to say a dog that isn't that old but isn't a puppy like 3 or 4 years old. i have to of these and all they do is sleep all day and once i get home they wake up and want to play. trust me all you need to do is play with them a little and feed them and give them water. And they are SO Cute!!
Don't get a cat or dog, then. They need some attention. It would be cruel to keep them alone most of the day. Fish are great bc they just swim around amongst themselves and don't need petting or affection like the furry pets. Plus, they're quiet and don't bark or meow. : ) Later on, when you find you have more time on your hands, you can get a cat or dog to spend time with.
A dog (not a puppy) is pretty calm and can take care of its self while you are at school or you can get a cat however if you do you should get two so that they can play with each other.
None. Do not get a pet if you do not have time for it. It's cruel to leave it home by itself for very long. Especially because you sound like you want a dog or cat. Dog's are pack animals and will suffer from conitnuous speration. And plus, puppies generally tear your house apart when you are gone for too long out of boredem and loneliness. I suggest to wait until you have more time.
seriously, it sounds like you know what you want and you're wanting someone to qualify what you've already decided. i would advise against getting a pet at this time.
Definitely a Cat They can be very independent, But will cuddle with you almost every time you want it to. Go to a Shelter and adopt one if you can not afford a Purebred!!

Just make sure you keep its litter box clean or your Mom will get quite upset with you.
A Persian cat. My cat is a saint.

Some weekends the cat stay along in the house happily. Put food in the bowl and clean the litter, that's all.

If you want a more easy animal get a gold fish.
Sorry, but with those schedules, a dog %26amp; cat are pretty much out. Especially if you plan on attending college or getting a job anytime in the next 10-15 years.

Yes, a cat may be good for you now, but what happens when you move out? Dorms will not accept a pet and pet friendly apartments aren't always easy to get into.

Also, vet bills for dogs %26amp; cats can run into the thousands of dollars a year. If you are just getting by eating Ramen and Taco Bell, what will happen if kitty picks this time to have an anal gland rupture? What if puppy decides to down all your Valentine's day chocolate? I'll tell you - the possibility of a $500-$1000 vet bill and at least 24 hours of your time committed to the recovery of your pet.

What if during college you decide that you want to study abroad? Or want to do work in your field in Africa or Russia or someplace else exotic? You can't exactly pack up and go for 6 weeks if you have a pet at home.

Dogs should not really be left home alone more than 4-5 hours regularly. If this is a possibility at ANY point during his life, which may be 10-15 years, then you should not get one. Crating for longer than this is neglectful and selfish, so a dog is pretty much out.

I recommend seeing if you can volunteer at a no-kill shelter. Be their dog walker and someone who plays with the animals. This way you can still get lots of cuddles but without the huge committment involved in having one of your own. http://www.petfinder.com

If your mind is already made up, then all this is in vain. It's still a firm "no" from me, based solely on your age. Be responsible and consider EVERYTHING, not just the next 4 years.

Good luck to you! : )
for you a dog is out-of-the question as even if im home all the time my whole family has to take care of her.

for you i would suggest a cat they are pritty independant but very loveable when you do give them attention.

a cat is not much family work for your mom she would have to vaccume cat hair thats all you would have to feed her comb her cuddle her play with her or him and clean the cat box

cats dont really need to be potty train a cat i would suggest a female then you dont have to worry about them spraying and i would have to say you would wanna spey them so they dont make a commotion when they go into heat.
Honestly, I don't think you are in a position to have a pet, if your parents won't support you. Either get a hermit crab or a rock... You've pretty much limited your options by vetoing any small animals, which is a shame. I think a bird would be the PERFECT pet for you. I've had birds all my life, and my favorites have been a green-cheeked conure (pretty quiet as far as parrots go, and darned loving and cute) and the pair of zebra finches I have right now. You could keep it in your room, there's no litterbox, and you could even snuggle and play with it (depends on the bird). They're also very entertaining...
Well it sounds like you want a kitten.
At this time you and your family don't need a pet. All pets need attention, time, care, love, basic essentials, and lastly to be cleaned up after.

My family runs a home with 54 pets and we all pitch in whether it's letting a cat in or out to cleaning up an accident, walking the dogs to feeding the snake, or going to the supply store for more grain, straw,and hay. We all help where we can, I never assigned any chores, we just see it needs to be done and do it. We have 21 hamsters and run an assembly line on cleaning cages, one take them out and dumps the litter outside around the plants, one washes the cages and hands off to the next that dries them, finally back to the first who puts it all back together and puts the hamster/s in after they get a few minutes of play time. We can do 15 cages in three days this way. We dump the mice and rabbit litters the same way. Cleaning the fish tanks out has a dual purpose here, we take some of the fish water and pour it on our plants, they thrive on the water.

We have rescued many of the pets we have so they can have a happy good home with lots of love. Some hamsters even came direct from pet stores that were snake food bound due to biting or injured. Our last dog was an abandoned puppy, 8 month Pomeranian/Papillon mix. We tracked down the person by their truck and had them sign him over to us. He left him at our home since he knew we'd take him in and find a good home for him. The persons landlord gave them hours to find homes for the pets, they did for the cat, and we found the dog. We're known for helping any animals. For 3 years we had bobcats living under our house, this year the foxes won out for the space.
I probably wouldnt get a pet if you cant give it affection and proper care all the time. It would be a dumb move to do that to a cat/dog etc.. Fish would be a good idea though, you dont need to look after it all day, but you cant cuddle with fish....

Spotting for over a week, cramping, HPT negative, 3-4 days late. My breast didn't change. Possi

I'm confused. I had intercourse around the time of ovulation. We're TTC for 6 months. I had some spotting before, but I never missed my period for that long. I had it come earlier, but not late. My breast was very normal, and painless (usually is very painful). Just now, I'm getting little heavier breast, and some pinches, but no blue vains. My last period was on Jan 15, and my cicles are 26-28 days. What sresses me is this spotting. I had some spotting at ovulation time, so this is something different. My HPT is negative. This is # 3, and I'm 37 years old. By now I should now everything, but I simply forgot, it's over 9 years since I had my second child. I apriciate your help.

Spotting for over a week, cramping, HPT negative, 3-4 days late. My breast didn't change. Possible pregnancy?theater

just give it a few days and test again, i spotted for a month when i got pregnant which i thought may be my period coming, so i tested when my normal heavy period was 10 days late before i got a positive hpt. now i'm 11 weeks pregnant. good luck!

Can I still get a flu shot, or is it too late?

I keep hearing on the news about the flu being horrible this year compared to other years. I'm wondering..Am I too late to go and get a flu shot? Should I even bother? I know they've said that even with the flu shot, many are still getting it. I ask because I tend to catch things very very easily.

Thanks for any help!

Can I still get a flu shot, or is it too late?theatre

i suggest calling your dr and asking him/her.

Although you should be able to.

Around here - you have to have special medical conditions to even get considered for the flu shot.

Like - pregnant, a kid, elderly - so on and so forth.

Can I still get a flu shot, or is it too late?opera music opera theater

You can still get the flu shot and it would be a good idea to.
You are not too late. You can still get a flu shot and places have plenty of vaccines. Call the health department or your doctor's office to find out where they are giving them. They are encouraging people to get their flu shot, even now. I got mine back in November and did not get the flu.

What do i do about neighbors that are too loud, too late at night?

the people that live diagnal to me have been up late (9:30- 3 am) playing their music at a VERY LOUD level, which to my dislikeing keeps me up which is a very bad thing b/c i have to get up at 5 to get ready for work. all this means that i only get lest say about 2 hours worth of restful sleep. i have no idea as to how to go about getting them to keep it down at night.

What do i do about neighbors that are too loud, too late at night?pacific theater

Call the police and let them handle it. I would say go over and talk to them one day but people are so rude these days you probably will end up calling the police anyway. Another alternative is get the other people in the neighbor hood on board and start a petition.

call the police

Just because it may not be the nicest thing to do doesn't mean it isn't the appropriate thing to do. Obviously your neighbors aren't the nicest neighbors so I don't think they worry too much about it. I feel bad for you, I get pretty mad when people keep me up at night, I'll call the cops no problem. got to respect people that have to get up in the morning. Want to have a good time, go to the bar.
Well if you have asked them to stop, and they wont, then you could call the police and have an officer come and tell them for you. You don't even have to tell them who you are, leave it completely anonymous.
Call the police. Most places have noise ordinances, stating that music or other noises cannot bother people inside city limits or they'll be fined. The police will go by and tell them to keep it down, and no one will tell them your name. If it happens again, call the police again, and the people will most likely get a citation.

Edit: I would not suggest going over and telling them to turn it down yourself. Because if they don't, and then you have to call the police anyway, they'll know exactly who told the police and then you could start a fight in your neighborhood.
After 10pm in most states (if not all), you can call the police.

They will come by and tell them to turn it down or off.
I agree with the first answerer - call the police and ask them what your rights are.
Have you tried to politely tell them about your situation during the day time or evenings? That may help. If you have tried a few times, you can definitely call the non-emergency line of your local police to come as they do issue warnings. Also, try to avoid living around college towns.
tell them to shup the f*** up!!!! (but only after 11..... It's the law....) also call the police......
I would call the police
Your city/town might have a noise ordinance. Have you tried calling the police? Other neighbors are probably just as annoyed as you. They don't have to know who called.
call the cops. they will tell them to tone it down!
Go over and ask nicely if they would please keep it down because you have to get up early in the morning, then if they don't, call your local law enforcement.
Most communities, townships and boroughs have noise ordinances during a set-time. By contacting your local town clerk (or you can call the police directly), they can tell you what that time frame is. Most communities will issue warnings from "anonomous" calls, but if you want them cited, you may have to identify yourself, in which your neighbor may find out that's it's you making the complaint.

If you live in a community that has a homeowners association (HOA), you may want to contact your homeowners board. Almost ALL HOA's have a noise restriction. Hope this helps!
Everyone is saying to call the police. It is the correct thing to do. Look into the noise ordinance. If you have tried to be nice, then being nice no longer works.
Call the police. We have the same problem with our neighbors also. The cops go there and they behave for the next few months then they back doing the same things. So we or our other neighbors calls the cops again. So just keep calling and complain. Hopefully this will stop them!
Have you gone over there and talked to them yet. Ask them if they wouldn't mind keeping the music down after say 10 pm. Tell them that you can hear it in your house and it's making things difficult for you to sleep. If they don't stop then call the police and have the noise law acted. Or you can just call the police the next time they start and let them take care of it without the neighbors knowing who called on them.
as many other people hav said, call the police. many places have noise ordinances, however, not all do. i've lived in places with no noise ordinances on the books, and the police pointed out that they cannot enforce a law which is not on the books. if you have the misfortune to live in such a place, after you've called the police, let your landlord know about this situation. most leases have a clause which guarantees your ability to peacefully enjoy your tenancy. if they are hampering this, they can be open to eviction. it's a long drawn out affair, and needs both a cooperative landlord, and documentation. you could consider moving.
you could leave an anonomous note under the door. If they don't get the hint, call the police and you can tell the police that you don't want them to know it was you who called. After they get fined a couple of times, they will quiet down.
I would say FIRST, no matter how angry you are at them, calmly knock on their door and ask them (polite as possible) to please not continue with loud music after 10pm......

If that doesn't work, THEN contact the property Manager through the Leasing Office in your Apt community, explaining that you have contacted that tenant (give the apt #) on one occasion first, but that they still seem to have no respect for other tenants, and that you would like something done as soon as possible or that next time you will then contact the Authorities (police). Its best to put everything in writing (i.e. what noise/from what apt/at what time/date/any names/ etc) so that you have a track record of these noisy residents for the future (for the Police), if it should happen again and/or escalate into any truly disturbing behavior....That should work*
* Like others have said call the cops !

* If you have a cell phone AND a land line call from BOTH !

* Any other cell phones in the home call from those too!

Also DO NOT COMPLAIN DIRECTLY TO THESE PEOPLE .... THEY ARE ANIMALS AND WILL RETALIATE AGAINST YOU !!!
call police. the thing is that if you go ask them, they will not like you and it will be awkward when you see them. Plus if they are drinking they can get violent. I think in our area the noise ordinance says after 11 pm so you may want to check with your local police to see what the rules are. I know in NewYork City there are signs saying no noise or 350 dollar fine. I know what you are going through. Do you have some good ear plugs and sometimes I turn on a fan just for the muffling sound it makes but in your case it may not be enough.
if you know these people maybe you should bring it to their attention that the late night noise is interferring with your work. They might be reasonable people. you have 2 ways to deal with it: a) confront them about it or B) call the cops and report the noise level and the cops will come and give them a ticket. you will remain annonymous with the cops.
Well, there are two things that you can do. It depends on the relationship and the liking that you have of your neighbors. You could: 1. Tell them about the situation and ask them to keep it down ( I personally only suggest this if you are friends with your neighbor) 2. Call the cops and ask about curfew and noise complaints. Every town has a time limit on noise from music, and often vehicles. If your neighbors are having youth at their parties, I'd ask the police if there is a curfew for your area.
First step, ask nicely.

If you have a home-owner's thing going on, then you can take the complaint there, next.

If that doesn't work... contact the police and file a noise complaint. Repeatedly, if necessary.

My husband and I are TTC, and I'm 2 weeks late....?

Yet I still have not gotten my period. My friends have noticed my hips are wider, and now I seem to always be hungry and my breasts are getting more firm and are tender now too.

I've taken 2 pregnancy tests and both of those are negative. Could it just be that one of my friends is pregnant and my horemones are changing with hers? I am over at her house nearly every day.

I'm thinking on going to the doctors, but I don't know....I've never been 2 weeks (nearly 3) late.

Any comments? Ideas? Suggetions?

My period was light last month and I'm 8 days late this month, could I be pregnant?

I had a history of irregular periods throughout the last year. I would go 2-3 months without a period and then I would get one and go another 2-3 months without. In January of this year I got a period, after not getting one since November of the previous year, and I've been getting a period every month like clockwork ever since. I had a "light period" last month (only lasted 3 days) kind of brownish in color. My periods usually last 5-6 days. Now, I am 8 days late this month. I have the usual symptoms (breast tenderness,bloating, emotional/sensitive) but this time it feels like it's lasting forever and I also feel nausea and frequent urination. I haven't taken a pregnancy test because I think that my period will just come eventually. I will really like to be pregnant. (Husband and I have been trying for a year and a half) Worried about being disappointed.

My period was light last month and I'm 8 days late this month, could I be pregnant?star theater

YAY! Hope you are! Go to the store and get yourself the test. I know how it feels to look and be bummed out but its better then wondering. Plus you might be irregular for a reason that needs to be addressed by a doc. So not good to drag your feet. But what are you waiting for girly go buy a cheapo test and see for yourself. And if you aren't no worries. I believe there is a time and place for everything, even a baby in your tummy ;) If its ment to happen it will. I wasn't supposed to be able to have kids and I have the most beautiful little girl now.

Plus gives you more incentive to get busy and that is always nice.

Have my fingers crossed for you!

Try home pregnancy test to be sure
no that dosnt mean that your pregnant i would go to the doctor about that because thats what i did and he gave me some pills to take care of it
A girl I kno was around ten days late, and she wasn't pregnant
Brownish color suggests old blood...could be implantation bleeding.

I would schedule with the Doc ASAP and let him know whats going on.

I always have a metallic taste in my mouth when I am preg and I am very sensitive to smell and nauseous.

Congrats if you are, sending good thoughts your way

:o)
If you had a good gynocologist you would feel alot more confident cause they really can help you understand your situation. Ask a woman professional who she sees, and beg the place to get you in, once established its the best thing you'll have done for your self. Establish your self, women with irregular periods face alot of stuff and have the battle is knowing a good doc! Believe me older women know this and all of them can whip off their gyno doc name in a flash!
