answered a question Did I handle this the right way? Terrified of bad review?

I absolutely agree with Cari. I think you handled the situation perfectly and there's really nothing more you can do. Even if she does give you a bad review, most people who are viewing your profile have enough sense to understand that some people are very difficult; your good reviews will outshine the bad.

answered a question How should I shower a puppy?

All of the above answers are great! I would add that when you are using a cup to wash them, put your hand above their eyes (dog equivalent of forehead) and then pour the water so you block their eyes from getting wet or soapy. No one wants soap in their eyes, even dogs!

answered a question Why is my dog staring at me?

Perhaps he/she is overwhelmed with love for you and doesn't want to let you out of their site.

answered a question Why does my dog smell like cat urine?

Your pup could have run into a stray or neighborhood cat while playing in the backyard and maybe the cat peed on him/her...which I've never personally seen, but definitely possible. Your pup also could have just rolled in fresh cat pee. Regardless of the cause, the answer is a bath!

answered a question Why does my dog cry when I leave?

This could be a sign of separation anxiety if it is paired with destructive behaviors. Most likely, however, your pup just loves you and doesn't want you to leave. Similar to a toddler getting dropped off at daycare--some are completely fine with it and can thrive independently, others need more time to adjust to your absence.

answered a question Why does my dog nibble on me?

I completely agree with Ilana. I would like to add, however, that it depends on the age of your dog. If your dog is still just a puppy, teething is going to likely be the answer. If they are out of their puppy stages though, this could be a behavioral problem that may need to be fixed by further training.

answered a question Why is my dog not eating?

I agree with Jessica and Allison. It is likely that they are just being picky. Not eating can be a symptom of a larger issue, so taking your pup to the vet is the best answer.
