We have coaxed Meranda into the backyard as she isn't too willing to leave her babies. They are all snuggled comfortably in the laundry basket that is lined with a nice soft sheet. My husband, Bob, has decided we need to have their dew claws removed. A dew claw is a fifth toenail located behind the leg at the bottom. Dr Ned Lodwick performs the task of removing their dew claws. He says it really is a good idea to have this done. Reason being, 1. It helps keep them from getting it caught on something causing them to hurt themselves, 2. should your puppy/dog jump on you, you won't be scratched by that toenail, and 3. it looks nicer. They all squealed a little and he put a liquid bandaide on them and back to the basket to go back to sleep. I watched the first one to get a picture and turned my head for the rest. I put them back before Meranda made it in to them. Of course, she checked them all out, which woke them up. It was feeding time again.
Now it's time for a breather.
