| I just read about the woman who was fined $1000 in Boulder, Colo., for painting her poodle pink. I know some readers of this website are groomers. What do you think about that? It seems strange that a town could do that ... and on what grounds?

| That poodle was supposedly colored with beet juice, which sounds harmless. I was just at Global Pet Expo in San Diego and saw many dyed dogs. People in Calfornia seem OK with it, no matter how wrong it looks.

| On what grounds?!!! What if a mother "harmlessly" dyed her child's skin pink somehow? That mother should be allowed to get away with it just because she's the mother? I hope that if you're in this business you understand that pets today are like children. They are helpless and depend on their owners for everything. Changing their color just isn't right. Parading a pink dog around could encourage people to do whatever they want with their animals - like they're toys instead of living beings. The fine is just. And I hope it sets an example. A pink poodle...give me a break. What's next? Contacts to change their eye color?

| Contacts...I hope not!!!! I have to admit, I'm not for dying a pet's hair either. How about owners that paint their pet's nails...where does the line stop?

Relax with the overreaction, The pet was fine I'm sure. Let people be responsible if something happens.

I agree... If the dog's health or well-being was not in danger, and it was otherwise properly cared for, what's the big deal? It's not much different than giving it a goofy Poodle cut, with big poof-balls on it's ankles, tail and ears... It's just one more personalization that people give to their dogs, which are a highly "personalized" animal to begin with. If people could breed naturally pink poodles, I know that they would!
