Megan asked:


Pets play an important role in our lives today, as members of our families. In history, those same animal types were used for different purposes. The luxuries we give our pets today originated from need of them in history. I am a pet groomer, and would like to know some history relating to my profession, but am unable to find a satisfactory quantity of infomation. What historical events were caused by these pets, the use of them and the methods of maintaining their health?

I don’t want to share my email or make a junk email but really want a virtual pet (since I can’t have one because of my allergies). So does anybody know any websites you can make a virtual pet for no email?

Dustfinger asked:


Are there any meat eating fish that you could have as pets that aren’t too big, inexpensive, and don’t require special care? No special care as in, you could just throw a goldfish in there a couple times a day and watch them devour it. All I really know about are those Oscar fish they have at PetCo, but those get pretty big.
You have to special order Piranhas and they’re aren’t cheap. Bleh.

What happens to pets whose owners become hospitalized?

Meier Angel asked:


Particularly in Pennysilvania, what happens when a pet owner is hospitalized and the patient will not be able to care for them anymore? A nurse at the hospital insisted that the pets would be removed and placed in a good shelter to await adoption, but I wanted to know what would happen in the meantime. Do people go out and feed the animals and make sure they’re alright?

Thanks for reading!
