Horrible Things

[NorthernChaosGod]

I got my dog from the groomer the other day and to my surprise I find my dog's paw nails PAINTED. I was like wtf. I asked her to wash and de-shed her and she comes back with glistening nails. Her reasoning was, "Well people didn't know she was a girl so..."

This is the second time she did something like that. Last time it was a huge pink bow in the center of her face because it kept dropping down.

So, what inane things have you done or seen people do to animals?

I wouldn't paint a clients nails without permission but as long as she got the job done then the problem is...? On a side note, I've given a poodle or 2 mohawks and one time I did a mohawk all the way down a Maltese's back and dyed it pink. It's harmless animal safe die so....it's all in good fun anyway. I haven't seen a dog yet that was ashamed from being dyed or having painted toenails. In fact they love it because they tend to get more attention.

EDIT: Here are some of the highlights.

Pet dyeing is difficult and dangerous as hell. Veterinarians tend to strongly advise against home dyeing, because CTFA approved, completely safe dyes are so rare that they aren't actually available in America.

Even if your pet manages to survive your attempt to turn them "Magic Purple," you might get them jumped at the dog park, since bright colors are essentially nature's prison tattoos. According to animal behavioral expert Clara Guest, it's very possible that vivid, unnatural coloring affects the way other animals react to them.
