Getting Our Ears Pierced?

This morning as usual, Ryder & Corona play in the backyard before school. Corona has always been one to play bite while playing. He is not aggressive but sometimes he bites a little too hard and Ryder will usually let him know by yelping.

I brought Ryder in a few minutes before I left and noticed a little blood on his head. I just thought maybe Corona had a little blood in his mouth I thought nothing of it, I just cleaned it off and left for school. When I was sitting in class I noticed all these blood spots under his right ear, again I just thought it was blood from Corona and them playing and took him to the bathroom and cleaned him up. I than noticed when I was rubbing his ear, there was blood on my hand. So I looked at his ear and noticed a very small puncture on the tip of his ear. Obviously Corona got him while playing. He is fine and it does not seem to bother him and I don't think it it is a hole, because I looked at but it, it's hard to tell because of all the dried blood. But I am absolutely positive it does not go all the way through. I think Corona just ripped the top layer of skin off.

I don't plan on taking him to the vet as I don't think it is an emergency. I am going to wait a week or so and hope it heels up and everything will be back to normal and I will go from there. I just thought I would share my story with you all!
The outside of his ear.
The inside of his ear.

Kyle and a few of his puppy friends like to bite ears when they play. It has always scared me a bit. I hope that Ryder heals quickly. :)
