BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | Pierced Ears? My mom and I took the girls in the stroller for a walk down town today and she asked me if you can pierce there ears and I said I had no idea. I said it would be so cute but I would think you would have to do that when there a puppy. Any one know? |

| I would think their hair would get tangled in them and they would be prone to infection. JMO. It would be cute if it could work.

| Might be dangerous if they scratch their ear or play with other dogs, the earring could get ripped out! I think you could get it done, but I don't know of anyone who does pierced ears for dogs. |

| All it would take is one good "scratch" with a hind leg to rip the earring right out. I'm sure Gracie would have it out in 3 seconds flat. Common sense tells me if it were the thing to do, it would be commonplace.

| Definitely not for me... I think that's taking things a little too far. The Hello Kitty tattoo was cute though... Not that I would do that either but it's much more acceptable to me than the piercing, since many dogs are tattooed for ID instead of the microchip.
