Barclay, you look handsome in pink! Did you know that back in victorian era, that pink was for baby boys, girls wore blue... because pink is a soft red, which was seen as a strong forceful color. Blue was seen as light and airy, a nice soft color for girls. I don't know when the colors flip-flopped to be pink for girls... but there you have it Barclay - you are just fine in pink Softpaws, a fine old world gentleman!

As for the vet recommending declaw... sad but true. I can't remember if my vet did w ith Allen. I know I had sceduled declaw (long before I knew what it entailed) but I canceld it the day before the surgery (Allen thanks me!)

A few months ago, while at my mom's house in Philly, I was looking through those coupons books you get in the mail, and there was a vet hospital advertising a spring declaw special!!!! I was mortified that they'd offer a special and give a coupon for people to clip and hand in when they get their cats toes chopped off. Amazing.
