LARGE PROBLEM...
I CAN NOT ANSWER ALL THESE THINGS I AM GETTING THRU FACEBOOK.TWISTER- OR
ANYTHING ELSE.. I AM GETTING HUNDREDS OF EMAILS WHERE YOU ALL ARE DISCUSSING
SOMETHING WITH EACH OTHER
AND I CAN NOT GO THRU ALL THE FRIENDING PROCESS BECAUSE BASICALLY I DON'T
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS
I WILL CONTINUE TO TRY AND ANSWER THE EXPLORE.ORG COMMENTS UNDER OUR
CAMERAS.. ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE IN CAPS-- SO I CAN READ THEM
*************
THE LATEST DISCUSSION ON THE EXPLORE HAS BEEN TREESKI GETTING HIS COAT
RIPPED BY A DEW CLAW... AND THEN MANY SAYING DEW CLAWS SHOULD BE CUT OFF AS
BABIES SO THEY DON'T GET TORN OFF.------- NOT MY PUPS--- THANK YOU....
.
LET ME TRIP LIGHTLY THRU THAT PROCESS..- STARTING WITH THE HUNDREDS OF
DOGS I HAVE OWNED AND HANDLED-- I NEVER HAD A DEW CLAW GET TORN IN ANY WAY..
TOENAILS OFTEN.. EARS OFTEN..TAILS FREQUENTLY BLEEDING.. BUT DEW CLAWS...
NO.
PLUS THE PROCESS OF REMOVING DEW CLAWS DOES NOT GET MY APPROVAL. IT IS
DONE WITH DAY OLD PUPS- BASICALLY RIPPED OFF NO ANESTHESIA...HOW BAD IS IT?
YOU CAN NOT HAVE TH E MOTHER DOG ANYWHERE NEAR BECAUSE WHEN SHE HEARS THE
SCREAMING PUP SHE LOOSES CONTROL. THAT IS HOW BAD.
SAME THING WITH DOCKING TAILS...
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH CUTTING THINGS OFF UNDER ANESTHESIA BY A
VET...
STARTING WITH NEUTERING MALES....\
WHERE I GET ANNOYED IS WHEN THE GENERAL PUBLIC - IN TRYING TO LOOK OUT FOR
ANIMALS DECIDES SOME PROCEEDURE IS BAD AND ILLEGAL --THEN INSTEAD OF PROPER
SURGERY YOU GET A PERSON WITH RUSTY SCISSORS ON A MOTEL FLOOR CUTTING OFF PUPPY
TAILS. INSTEAD OF TRYING TIO OUTLAW THE PROCEEDURE THE LAW SHOULD BE IT MUST
BE DONE BY A VET UNDER ANESTHESIA. ..
I CAN HEAR IT NOW..." IT IS WORSE FOR THE PUP TO BE UNDER ANESTHESIA THAN
IT IS TO JUST CHOP THEM OFF" IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHICH END OF THE CHOPPERS YOU
ARE ON..
I WISH I COULD MANAGE TO HAVE ALL TH E DANE SERVICE DOGS TAILS CROPPED---
GEORGE HAS CROPPED 1-- FOR A QUADREPLEGIC PERSON'S DOG BECAUSE IT WAS BOUND TO
GET BROKEN GOING THRU DOORS-- GEORGE LEFT A 6" STUMP IN CASE WE NEEDED A
HANDLE.
I HAVE HAD MANY DANES WITH TAIL PROBLEMS ----- HAPPY TAILS-- WHERE THEY
BANG THE END ON THE WALLS SO HARD THE IT DEVELOPES A SMALL BLEEDER-- WHECH THE
DOG CAN USE AS A SPRAYGUN TO PLASTER THE CEILING AND WALLS WITH BLOOD-- AND WHEN
IT HAPPENS THE DOG DECIDES YOU ARE TRYING TO GRAB HIS TAIL AS SOME KIND OF
GAME-- AND HE WAGS IT HARDER,
AND EARS - WHEN THEY GRAB EACH OTHER BY THE EARS, AND SHAKE BLOOD ALL
OVER - OR THEY GET YEASTY INFECTIONS OFTEN. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SLEEP IN A
ROOM WITH A DOG WITHA YEASTY EAR.. IT ITCHES AND THEY SHAKE THIER HEADS EVERY
15 SECONDS.
I EVEN HAD A DOG BITTEN BY A CHILD-- A 2" TEAR IN THE EAR-- ( IT WAS AT A
CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING IN MEDFORD "WANNA SEE ME BITE THE DOG?" A 12 YEAR OLD
KID SAID TO HIS FRIEND... HE BIT DOWN JUST BEFORE I BROKE HIS NOSE. BLOOD
ALL OVER
I DON'T HAV ANY STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT CROPPED EARS --- EXCEPT---- AND THIS
IS A BIG ONE... - THE SHOW CROP IS LONG AND TAPERED. IT TAKE S FOREVER FOR THE
EARS TO STAND-- SOMETIMES MEANING DOGS ARE "IN TAPES" FOR MONTHS/YEARS/--
THAT TAPING AROUND THE EAR-- ALL WHITE
AND TIDY LOOKING DOES NOT MEET MY APPROVAL.-- THERE ARE WAYS AROUND THAT
HORRID TAPING. IN MY OPINION.
WHY THE PUBLIC ACCEPTS "DEW CLAWS SHOULD BE REMOVED AS A BABY" I DO NOT
KNOW.
****
GOT TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE TRAINED TO ACCEPT.
