When the new Social Weather Stations survey showed that more Filipinos were experiencing hunger and poverty under his administration, P-Noy couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

We got a deluge of e-mails about the column where we wrote that the buddies of the late Sir Max Soliven were supporting Lakas-Kampi bet Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro Jr. which really tell me that so many of his readers still miss his columns even three years after his death.

I recently bought a Siberian Husky that was three months old and has papers. When I got my dog he already had four vaccinations. My questions are: 1) Is it OK to give him ice water? 2) At what age can I start him with a trainer? 3) I know that Siberian Huskies come from cold countries and I would like to know if they can survive in our warm climate. 4) What vitamins can I give my Husky? Thanks for your time.

I do not know the origin of Kenji (the Chihuahua) nor if there is any way for the giver to find out about it. Is there anybody who can tell me if he is pure bred or not? Since he doesn’t have papers is it possible for Kenji to join clubs for dogs? Could he join competitions, if so how & where to go about it? I do hope he could be part of a club so he could meet other pets as like himself. He is quite easy to discipline and seems to be mild mannered. I do hope you can help me.

I’m sharing this with you for the benefit of the numerous homeless cats and dogs out there on the streets or in shelters and pounds that are abandoned and waiting for their turn to become pulutan, run over, kicked aside or to die of slow starvation.

As far as I know, in the US they scout around city pounds and shelters for trainable canines to be used as sniffing dogs for drugs or bombs and some even as Dr. Dog or Cat so that they can help patients in hospitals.

I have a one-year-old female Mini Pinscher and a newly-acquired nine-month-old Chihuahua. They were introduced to each other a week ago. The two dogs have different personalities. The Mini Pin is playful and energetic. The Chi likes being alone, or being cuddled while watching TV.

Both of them seem to be jealous whenever I give attention to the other. They become territorial when they are near me, which results in aggressiveness between the two.

My dog has mange [Summary] => Q. I have a Golden Retriever that turned two last July. Her name is Walnut. I bought her when she was 4 months old and at that time, the breeder said she had some skin infection around the mouth. She gave me medicine for it and recommended a vet. I took Walnut home and treated the skin infection. The recommended vet came and looked at it also. It got better and was completely gone.

However, when I got Magoo, his eyelids were "inside out" or he had entropion. He had an operation last July to correct it. His vaccinations are also up-to-date.

Our next door neighbor breeds imported dogs in his garage. I’ve never been fond of animals. I cannot stand the smell of dog urine and the incessant barking from his kennel. Isn’t my neighbor being inconsiderate? Is it OK if I ask him to relocate his kennel to a non-residential area? How can he keep his kennel from stinking? - Edna
