Not having dogs, I usually post on the cat side. Curious as to why the dog side has thousands more posts than the cat side, I thought I'd visit. Maybe it was good that I did.

Having once worked for a vet, I have been there when tails were docked and ears were cropped. I always had to run in the bathroom, turn on the water, and cover my ears to keep from hearing the little days old puppies scream. I wouldn't come out until the people were gone, making my boss check them out, because I could not look them in the eye.
