Ok, you guys are so good with animals......how the hell do you keep a Boxer from snoring? Nose strips? I'm afraid they'll pull all his hair off the snout in the morning. the older he gets, the worse it is.

Snoring dogs are a RIOT!! My ex'es folks had a poodle that snored. I lughed my butt off everytime I was there. But I didn't have to live with it.

But I can understand your frustration more than I can my wife's. She claims to be able to hear my mice eating, through 2 closed doors!! :roll:

I can sleep through a train going right down the middle of my street. But mick snoring? Not on your life.

I have a better one for you: ever heard a CAT snore??!!! I have. I couldn't figure out where the heck it was coming from till i watched the cat's breathing.

--Christine :lol:

Hold cat in one arm with back legs dangling down. With other hand put a small piece of scotch tape on one of the cats back paws. Place cat on floor and observe reaction.

Better, put a sock over it's head.

NOTE: Please supervise your pet if you really try this. We don't want Fluffy getting hurt. You, on the other hand, are fair game. You wanna play, you follow the cat's rules!

Sock not required.

use a rubber band to attatch plastic wraper off of cigarete pack to each of the cats paws, put cat on linoleum and show kitty ur laser pointer!
