I'm glad Malone did so well at the vet's. I too think he has quite a handsome physique so I would not worry about the tech's comments. I hope Emmers does just as well on Thursday. I also clipped one of Ripley's nails too short when I first got him. They were soooo long but they are also black and it was so hard to see. He was so trusting and I felt like I let him down. I have been really really careful ever since and am finally re-establishing his trust I think.
