That statement was really rude, but I'm glad everyone was safe. After reading your post, I was under the impression that your nine year old daughter was alone, without an adult present. (Since she had to call you on the phone.) Sometimes, things can happen so quickly...you never know. I'm not the one who handled your puppy; don't be angry with me! And, things could have been worse!

i think you are getting a little irrational about it she plucked the hair out of the ears, thats all that happened in the op story no one was hurt...the groomer would have done the same thing or the vet... i think she shouldnt have done it with out the adults permission but no crime was committed... geez let me add to the op im not trying to discredit your feeling at all...somethings make people uncomfortable where it might not bother another, doesnt make your feeling any less meaningful Last edited by tammy8833; 10-02-2009 at 02:42 PM. | |

Are you serious? You throw out that a vicious dog could have attacked....and give me food for thought and you thought my response to you was rude? We live in America, in Idaho in a very nice neighborhood, children in some areas are still safe in the front of their homes without a parent present. While my 9 year old was in her front yard alone, her dad, was less than 20 feet from her working from home in his home office. I was not angry with you, but you went way off topic with your response/advice. Maybe I should just go find a new website to share regarding my sweet new Yorkie Thor! | |

Second. What if it was your puppy??? I think a more neighborly thing to do was to say that she had a yorkie too and if mom wants to talk she should stop by.

How was Prince's Mom supposed to know that you have two labs to protect your daughter? I think that as a newbie, you should appreciate any advice you are given and not snap on a well respected member of this site! It is not going to win you any respect

| Okay, we're talking about a puppy that has been in our home for less than a week. He is still in a transition period of getting to know his new family and is learning to trust us. This neighbor has had one yorkie in the past. As in my original post, her dog was paralyzed (it jumped off the bed and broke its back). She does not currently have yorkies. I do not care if the hairs should be plucked, I will cut them for what it is worth with blunt end baby scissors, after our little boy is comfortable in his environment. However, never, ever should you touch another persons human child or fur child and make them cry. It is unreasonable to think this is okay. I understand there are worse situations out there for a lot of puppies and dogs. Unfortunately, I am not responsible for those situations although I do have empathy for any living creature that is mistreaten. This was with my (and my daughters) experience with someone who crossed boundaries with my property and which broke my daughter's heart to witness. If anyone does this, they should have their hands slapped, and certainly will in my presence. |

| I don't usually post on topics where people start to get hostile..but I had to post here, I agree, don't sweat the small stuff! There are bigger tragedies going on in this world, I don't think this neighbour had any ill intentions and I don't think the children will be scarred for life or anything Please enjoy the forum, there are wonderful people on here

| I really can't believe you guys are not more compassionate to this lady's puppy and her child. She said the dog was crying. She wasn't asking for advice here she was just venting. I can't believe you agree that it is ok for someone to pick up your new puppy and pluck out the ear hair, because the vet ar groomer would do it anyway!! What?? I don't understand the logic. I agree that the poor puppy with the acid down it's back is just a terrible thing but that doesn't mean that this lady doesn't have the right to be upset. Her new dog and her daughter were upset!!! I've been here a while now and I have never seen such lack of compassion.

| That is asolutely horrible, that poor baby, I hope he is doing okay, or as okay as he can be after something like that!! Some people have no conscious and are just evil to do this to an innoccent animal.
