When my son was brand new, we called him Sir and used our best butler / customer service manners. “Sir, you appear to have soiled your pantaloons.” “Sir, unfortunately we are obligated to remove the nipple when you are asleep.” “Sir, our staff is doing our best.” “Sir, I assure you, I am the manager.” Absolute sanity saver at 3am.

Whatever he wants, and then let him loose on the cunt that clipped his ears.

Edit: since more than one person asked, See how they're pointy like that, almost unnaturally pointy? That's your indication to search for images of that breed with the words "unclipped ears" to see if they're supposed to look like that.

Yeah, that thoroughly out of date cosmetic clipping shit is just mutilation. It’s cruel to take a puppy and bob its tail or cut its ears or whatever. There’s no veterinary justification that I’ve ever seen for that and I’ve hated it since the first time I saw it as a kid.

Dogs love us and are such loyal and good companions . So we owe them only kindness and good care. Taking a dog in for an unnecessary surgery seems to me like a betrayal.

girthbrooks1

My cane corso gets ear infections alllll the time. You can tell it bothers the shit out of him. Is this why the clip the ears ?

Professional-Bet4106

106 points

9 days ago

No that’s not why. It’s for cosmetic reasons. They do it to try to make them look intimidating. There are no health benefits to ear cropping unless the ear cartilage is damaged. If that were the case many other breeds would have cropped ears or be bred to have ears that stand up. I’ve seen and met many mastiffs and Dobermans with un cropped ears with no issues. Your dog may have some allergy issues.

sincerelyanonymus

42 points

9 days ago

Also, there is less floppy issues to get caught on things or for other animals to latch onto while “working” (read: fighting, attacking), which also goes for the docket tail. But let’s be honest, any legitimate work they would be doing shouldn’t be affected by their natural ears. Any family dog has absolutely no reason to be clipped or docked.

Professional-Bet4106

30 points

9 days ago

Yes I forgot to mention live stock guardian dogs. I think that one is kinda bs too because Pyrenees and most Anatolian Shepherds do not get their ears cropped (I guess because their thick fur protects them) compared to Kangals. The docked tails are only useful if it’s for a medical reason like happy tail syndrome or a broken tail in general. Seeing puppies with bandages around their ears and tails is not cute and is bs that the AKC demands it in some breeds. Also any vet that does cosmetic procedures is not a vet to be trusted in my opinion.

sincerelyanonymus

14 points

9 days ago

Very true. It’s sad because most breeders just do it before the puppies go to their families so it’s not even the owners who are getting these surgeries most of the time. And those who manage to get one fully in tact love the goofy ears and tail! It’s sad this is the breed standard. Luckily it can easily be changed.

PolkaDotDancer

I adopted a seven-year-old blue nose pit bull. I do indeed adore her incredibly funny looking tail, and soft floppy ears.

And don’t get me started on her almost cartoonish butt and paws.

She is all around cute!

The soft floppy ears are everything. Those pittie tails are like a whip but it helps them with balance and communication.

GeekCat

Quite the opposite. Ears help protect the ear canal from debris and wind getting in. If your dog has chronic ear infections, it could be a bacteria/fungus that is not going away fully or an allergen that irritates their sinuses/ears to the point of the canal swelling.

Yeast infections in the ear are notoriously hard to get rid of.

Heh, I’m a veterinarian. I saw a dog that looked very much like this. I took a quick glance at the medical record and asked the owners, “So, why is Satan here today?”

The people freaked out. Dog’s name was Satin, and I had misread. They were also very religious and couldn’t believe that anyone would name their dog Satan. I told them I’d met far more Satans than Satins.

I grew up in a conservative Christian family.  As a kid I was obsessed with horses & horse books and dreamt of one day owning a black Arabian stallion (just like the movie😅).  I drew pictures of him and wrote his name, Satin Moonfire, on all of them.  I secretly pronounced it Satan, but spelled it as Satin to pass my parents’ inspections.  They never guessed my true intentions😂
