Missy had severe allergy problems from birth, but my aunt, uncle, and their two daughters did everything they could to give her the best possible life.

I have heard of devices like the Peticure or Pedipaws nail sanders. Has anyone tried these? If so, how do they work? or Does anyone have any sage advice on how to trim nails without hitting the quick. Dermit's nails are kinda dark so it's tough to see how short I should go. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I bought the xxl sizes for both of my little lovers so they would be long enough...they need to be modified so they fit snug enough since the hounds are so svelte but I did that with sticky velcro.

Are you lucky enough to have someone come in to care for your greys or do you kennel them? Do you think there would be enough interest to start a greysitting co-op?
