Hmm..well I AM old enough to move out, I COULD have taken Kiba but then she'd have a crappy life as I wouldn't be able to afford the life she has now. I feel bad cause I gave in to my mom when I should have stood up for her. At that time I have no alternatives so it is just as much my fault. I really don't know how that makes me narrowminded though..I just don't. Smitten was declawed a long time ago when I was a kid, then Kiba last year or whatever. Neither have any problems and you'd never know they were declawed IMO. That's not to say it's not possible. I would not give up my pet if they had blatter problems. I'd find someway to fix it.

Carole,I did talk with the person and we worked things out and agreed to just forget about this You were right.
