Ahh! But that is a misnomer......just because you vaccinate a pup....doesn't mean they won't contract parvo.....and I do know of several pups that have contracted it from the vaccination. As for rabies vaccines, I know of yorkies that have died from it.

As for earpiercing on an infant vs an older child. Had my girls done as an infant by the pediatrician......no pain, no screaming, she was asleep and it didn't wake her.
