Man's Best Friend

[Tobi]

Yes exactly! A wee little puppy a few days old may not be able to communicate its pain from having its tail 'banded'. It is said that done at this time it causes no pain. How do Humans know??
But it still may feel something negative.

I happen to like tails. They are Dogs' Smiles! And communication mechanisms.

I agree with cutting hair in hot weather. Why not? Dogs can easily over heat.
