It is just not that big of a deal to me, but maybe I am wrong. I mean if these dogs are our babies and we routinely have our babies' ears pierced, then why not the dogs too. It just does not offend me.

Some of us here dress our dogs and a lot of people would think that is ridiculous and not letting them "just be dogs" but I wouldn't want to hear them "judging us" like we are doing in this thread. JMHO.

I totally agree. I don't think that it's any different than any other accessorizing that goes on. Like Putting dogs in purses, painting toe nails, rhinestone tiaras, hair bows, grooming, at a groomers (think of the trauma there) and any other thing that is very "fashionably in" right now. (But that's just me).
