Sally!!! I love your pack!!!! Such sweet, sweet pictures!
Nails? I typically take our furbabies to have them done. Honestly, we rarely have to have them done as they keep them worn down playing outside.
Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

PS - Jasper also gets her mani/pedi at the vet or daycare. I am not doing it! I never did it for Shelby either (in fact that was the only time Shelby bit someone - the groomer). Shelby HATED when you touched her paws ... it was years before she let me hold her paw.
Anywho... so I noticed on Jasper this a.m. her left dew claw is looking mighty long...she was JUST at the vet for her belly ache issues! I swear ... that dog likes to spend my $$$! This one is curling so she'll have to go to the vet for this one but I try and make her walk on cement!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Oh they are so gorgeous! It melts my heart, Sally, to know they've found a safe and loving forever home with you. And Nellie definitely has bull breed in her, I would say. She reminds me a little of my Elsie Pie. I think they are transatlantic cousins. So lovely to know that Nellie and Bob are being loved and cared for.

And as for Miss JL, Alison, she's an LA babe, of COURSE she likes spending your $$$
