Barclay is back from the vet's office. He has his hot pink Soft Paws on and is still feeling the mild sedative they gave him. He's had all his shots and we picked up som Revolution for him and Pumpkin. I'm $206 poorer, but at least he's healthy.

The vet told me that if these Soft Paws don't work, he would strongly recommend getting Barclay declawed and says he recommends that to everyone. I didn't walk in with a huge complaint. I merely said that he was scratching the couch and that hubby was pushing to have him declawed. I told him that that was NOT an option and that we would try the Soft Paws and trimming his nails. If this doesn't work, I don't know what to do. I bought a spray bottle today that I willstart to use when I catch him scratching.

Wish us luck. I'll try to post a couple of pics as soon as he wakes up.
