I just spoke with the woman again tonight and she said that the neighbours bought the condo next door last summer, which were built in 2007, and she guess that they didn't want the dog scratching the floors because Chi's have long nails. I said big deal, tell her she should have gotten carpets then. Then she hit me with this; "The woman died of cancer last November and she was my friend." I told her I was sorry, that I didn't know. That's why the husband gave her the dog because he said he couldn't take care of him properly because he is depressed over the loss of his wife.

She has all his papers along with the vets and she said yes, that the declawing was done by a vet. I also can't believe a vet would do this to a dog. Like others have said, the dewclaws, yes, but not all four paws. Poor little thing. I pray he doesn't have problems later on from it.

Stupid, stupid people. People like that shouldn't have animals when they value their floors more than the animal itself. They also have a cat and I can bet the cat was declawed also. Poor thing.
