What I imagined was the second one not the first and I still don't know which one she was referring to but if it's the second one that can be painful to the dog if gotten in there eye. I imagine you are careful when bathing her and don't say to yourself I don't have to be careful because it's just shampoo and won't kill her. Anything you know can cause pain you should try to avoid because no one really knows how much pain it causes them because they can't tell us. I don't even let Callie put her head out the car window unless she has her goggle things on because I have a friend who is going blind and it's scary for him so I could not imagine something happening to a dog and making them go blind and not understand it. I try to prevent Callie from having any pain I can and squirting lemon water at her isn't the best way to do that. |
I am the same way with Peanut as you are with Callie! You do not need to explain yourself- If people do not understand why it is not RIGHT to squirt lemon water at their dog than that is on them. You said your point so if someone new came on and saw that idea they would see you expressing why it would be bad- Maybe they would think twice, and if they didnt- there is nothing you can do!
