lol i guess i will put my 2 cents in
i used to think dressing dogs was soo dumb but then i got my yorkies and I began to do it and now i feel differently about it. But i do admit that i dont do it to keep them warm i mean yeah like i jacket or raincoat for winter or when its raining to keep them warm but in the summer we dress them in pretty dresses and swimsuits.
Ear piercing i cant say i would do it to my dogs but i dont think people are cruel for doing it but it is for looks even tho it may set your dog apart for identification purposes it is mainly for looks just like clothes.
I dont think its too much different then tail docking or ear cutting. But i do find it different then a humans ear. We hopefully bathe more than we bathe our dogs lol so therefore they run close to the ground and get dirt and all kinds of things on their ears and it sometimes sits till the next week (if you bathe once a week) even if you do clean it, if all the other hair on his body is dirty then its gonna get dirty all over. So im not saying its a bad idea but i do think its more prone for infection and/or slower healing. |
