Biting nails?

[Cinder & Smoke]

WHAT's he doing???
WHAT"S he chewing on, NOW?

Those are all HIS feet / paws!! ... HOW'd he do dat??

Ziggly is doing Paw Maintenance - again!

He's on is right side (sorta) ... with BOTH his REAR Feet & Paws <scrunched>
up and positioned under his Front paws ...

Left Rear is crossed over the Left Front, then under the Right Front ...
and he's BUSILY *lickin* the underside of that Left Rear - paw to elbow ...

On Deck is the RIGHT Rear ... poking out from under his body and held captive
by his Left Front - which is overlaid by the Left Rear ... currently undergoing claening.

OMG!
HOW did he get INTO that position??
HOW's he gonna get OUT of that hook-up??

Hope nobody pulls a fire drill --- Ziggy will break two legs and dislocate a hip just standing up!

He's now switched to *lickin* the top & bottom of the Right Rear ...
without changing any positions other than leanig more forward ...
This LOOKS painful!!

**Zipp* ~ *Zinng** --- he just kicked 'em all loose and he's "relaxing" on his right side ---
all four paws outstreatched and *shiney claen*!

GOTTA get a picture of this!

Sometimes Jamie might chew on her nails, but not biting or breaking them, she just kind of nibbles.

My mother-in-law's dog does trim her own nails, though. She's happy too, since she has black nalis, my MIL is afraid to cut them... so she's quite relieved!

My dog Smokey bites his nails all the time! He has been doing it since he was a puppy!

Please Phred, get that photo.

We'll have to go *steal* Zig back for a photo shoot.
I got *tricked* into givin him back to Gram & Gramps last night ...

Miz Joan called and offered DINNER ... never call me late for a Home-Cooked Meal!

It was only a ruse to get their GranPup back!
Yeah, I got dinner ... but they kept Zig!

His time is getting short, too. Momma Leslie flew to Alabama to supervise
the movers loading her furniture over the weekend;
and her stuff gets to the Columbus House this week.

NEXT week she'll be showing up at Mom's (Miz Joan's) Place and WANTING a DAWG back!
I doubt a "substitute" would go over too well.

Only good thing is Leslie will travel a bit in her new job ...
and Columbus is close enough that Ziggy can get dropped off at Gram & Gramps Howze
for Dawg Sittin ... and hopefully a sleepover at Phred's Ranch on occasion.
