I think it happens to everyone Annette. (((hugs))) the black nails are the hardest. poor Lacey and poor you! Buster sends a get well kiss to Lacey. Rocky & Jenny were playing about a couple years ago and Rocky got his nail in the carpet to the quick so we had to rush him to the vets. now when his nails grow his one nail grows all crooked that he split. I think he broke 2. please let us know how Lacey is doing.
