It's a dogs life!

MAD! I've just read about a woman who is using her life savings to pay for facelifts for roly poly designer dogs....ha, ha!!! It's those Shar Pei dogs that are deliberately bred to have folds of floppy flesh on their face but nope she's getting them done. Have you heard of anyone going a bit over the top when it comes to their pets?

[boxtops]

That's ridiculous - the dog is supposed to look like that! Have you got a link?

Still want to hear stories from people that have gone overboard when it comes to their pets? I've heard of people who call their pet pooches from work...there is something quite cute about that. x

Nah just using that story to start a little bit of a thread that's all. :-)

Have two shar peis Taz is 12 and we have had him since 12 weeks old and the other Minnie is a rescue she has been with us 6 years, most shar peis "grow" in to the skin and dont have many wrinkles except on the face when they are fully grown, if their eyes are tagged as babies[ a good breeder will do this] that problem is over but they do tend to have ear problems and some have mites in the folds. Trouble is once grown up and dont look cute anymore owners dont want them and Roma the shar pei rescue lady has more than she can rehome [ shar pei rescue &welfare have theirown website] one day she took 7 dogs all from different homes that didnt want them anymore for various reasons and placed them into 7 new homes an one day, took some organising I might add.People buy these dogs for the wrong reasons pay megabucks for them and then discard them on a whim and the poor dog doesnt know what it has done wrong.On Roma's website she names & shames people who behave badly to their shar peis.
Sorry for the rant but it makes my blood boil at these stupid women.

On The Late Late show in Ireland a few weeks back, there was a woman on with her dog who had spent several thousand euros on a wedding for him. She also bought him designer collars which cost her hundreds...

People who think more of animals than human beings

I think more of my animals than I do quite a lot of human beings.
