So, does the quick ever recede and does it take a really long time?
When Tiger and Annika both attended training classes, they said that the more frequent you cut, the faster the quick recedes . . . so maybe you can do it every 2-3 days just snipping the ends and before you know it, you would have taken so much already without hurting Wylie at all. I keep forgetting to do that to Tiger too and his nails has been so long . . . I now try to do it weekly but sometimes it is just hard to remember
