I knew you guys would understand. My husband keeps teasing me about Barli’s $40 manicure, but I say it was worth it for peace of mind! And for the kitty diet advice. And anyway, I really do think the nail was hurting him. He was very touchy about it. It was probably about like a bad human hangnail, and we all know how much fun those are!

I was sooo relieved that it was only a thread. It looked just horrible, and for a while there, I was so worried. Just the thought of something being really wrong with one of those sweet little cotton ball paws made me want to bawl.

Barli has recovered from the experience quite well, and the biggest concern in his world right now seems to be that food is no longer available 24/7! Strangely, though, that seems to be bothering Rizzo more than Barliman so far. And Rizz usually doesn’t eat much! Go figure.
