Your opinion is valuable so don't say "just my opinion." I am obviously torn about this issue and need that input.
Thanks.
If you could have seen little Cassie nursing her dew claws the two times she got them caught you would probably be a believer, however I'm not racing to get them removed either. Hmmmm That makes me stop and think.
