 To Pluck or Not to Pluck 

I’m talking about the hair in a dog’s ears.
I do not pluck the hair in my dogs/puppies ears
as I feel it is there for a reason.

It offers protection to the ear canal.
Just like the hair in our noses offers us protection.
Maybe dogs have sensitive hearing and things will just be too loud with their hair gone.  I don’t think God makes mistakes and He put the hair there for a reason, so let’s just leave it alone.

I think sometimes we create problems ourselves.
(I hung onto my gallbladder too when the doctors wanted it. I kept thinking, what do they mean I don’t need it? So I kept my gallbladder and am fine, many years later!) I’d be happy to share with anyone how to avoid that surgery.

How Often to Clean Ears

Please just clean their ears once a month, it’s plenty.  If you clean more often, you will be irritating their ears and they will start scratching at them.
We have to remember that they are dogs and not people.
