Do dogs have belly buttons and if the dog gets shaved should they get them pierced?
No, this is not a delusion I had when my fever was 103, it was a subject of an actual conversation I had with a "friend". It started out by her telling me that she was getting her dog shaved. I pictured the poor thing bald and thought maybe he should have some piercings to go with his hairless look, so to be more "in" and stuff. This led to the question of dogs having belly buttons at all. When you think about it, they should, shouldn't they? But when I looked at little Snot dog's belly, no belly button there. But they do have them! They apparently stitch up the umbilical cord "button hole" on dogs right after they're born and if you look close enough you can see a little scar there. (I wonder why they don't do that on humans. Wouldn't we all look better?)

Perhaps a tatoo then!

Odat you need some bed rest !
I don't think my dog had hers stitched up... She was born in a barn. And I still can't find her belly button. Are you sure this is a reliable source? =)
I'm with Paul. A bit more bed rest is in order.
We would look better without those unsightly belly buttons. ;-)

My Rosie has a belly button! When we first got her I was horrified - WHO HURT THE DOG??? That's when I learned that dogs have belly buttons. I can send you a picture if you'd like.
Deb, yes perhaps a nice pirate face or something like that..hehe.

Well since I've got a belly button, I now feel slighted since dogs have theirs closed!!
