Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

So I notice sometimes Kiara is biting her dewclaws (the highest nail on her foot or "thumb") it doesn't get worn down naturally like the others cause its so high on the foot so I am assuming she just gives herself a little doggy manicure? Anyone else's dog do this? I took a video...

Ghost does this periodically. We were worried at first, but she never seems to do any damage so we just let it go. She did it a lot last fall when she wasn't getting much exercise (I was laid up and Aaron would never walk her) so we think it was more out of boredom than anything.

"Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been."  -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey"

Ah I see, I checked to make sure she wasn't hurting herself. She was like lifting up her whole leg by her nail. Seemed like it would hurt, they are really sharp though, but not long.

I trim kale's every 1 to 2 weeks, but his gets caught on one of the blankets on my bed lol. I mostly use those ginormous toe nail clippers. He starts to nibble at them when they start to get longer.
