so why do we dress them up in dresses, necklaces, shoes, bows and barrettes? if there just "dogs"

me me !! I can answer that !!

lol

the other stuff doesn't inflict pain on them...I know my girls love to wear clothes and bows.....but anyone that goes so far as to pierce a dogs ear is inflicting Pain on that dog for their OWN amusement ....and I think that's where most all of us draw the line...We love our dogs too much to ever make them cry.

There...I feel ever so much better

I still cant believe anyone would do that to a dog

i agree.....bella doesnt mind her clothes at all, in fact sometimes she will bring me her outfits if i leave one lying around...she knows how pretty she looks...lol

but to peice her ear would just hurt her too badly and i could never see my little baby in pain bc of something i did.....

It sounds like it would be asking for trouble. Scratching, pulling it out, eating it, infections, ripped ears, etc. I'd keep away from it.

Peircing a dogs ear, oh please, ive seen it all now.
It is just down right cruelty. These people should be reported to animal welfare.

As for the people who love to dress their little darlings up. I see nothing wrong with this, at long as it doesnt hurt them

My Topher takes such great pride in pulling out Sophie's topknot bows, elastics, baretts (sp), clips...I think he considers it his daily mission in life. I can only imagine what he'd do with an earring (and an ear). (He uses poor little Sophie's topknot as a handle..though for some reason she doesn't seem to mind..lol..so they don't last long )

Yes, they're dogs, and yes, we do enjoy 'prettying them up' with clothes and things but I think tattoos and earrings is taking it much too far. I think it could even be considered abusive.

Peters · 05-12-2007, 08:16 AM

no thats insane they would just rip them out

chachi · 05-12-2007, 09:01 AM

I would never do that

Yorkiedaze · 05-12-2007, 09:17 AM

I think a pretty collar or hair bows and such would be enough. I'm totally against tattoo and piercing.

Maybe it goes back to when we were little girls and dressed up our dolls, and some of us dressed up our cats too! But we didn't inflict PAIN on them. Yes, these precious animals are counting on us to take very good care of them. Why would anyone want to hurt these precious little animals that give us so much love in return?

right on the money Yorkiedaze ... ear piercing is a physical thing ... and a big "NO NO"! Not necessary at all.

I still do not understand why their tails are docked ...

That is SO funny. I had my girls out today with their harnesses and bows and someone stopped me and said "Now all they need is earrings!" I would never do it but I am surprised Paris Hilton has not thought of that yet. LOL
