Wow...I feel so LAME right now! I noticed the other day on the dog that I have been "fostering", when I was clipping some of his hair on his legs, that he's got a pad kind of about 1/3 of the way up his front legs....I thought it was his dew claws, but I guess not(Obviously I have NO idea what dew claws are), b/c I just checked Max and he's got them too

. I never noticed them before until I just now checked...what are they? And why are they there? Geeze, and here I thought whoever had this guy before me just didn't take care of them....I'm a DUMMY
