Godiva's manicure (pedicure?)

Godiva has been a feisty beast lately! While she has never exactly been thrilled with the addition of two small children to her world, she's taken to expressing that distaste with her claws - to the face. She has tagged Myra, Gracie and Kyle, all too close to the eyes for comfort. We've been discussing what we can do to deal with this problem. Obviously, we can't just let her claw out our kids' eyes. Mitch's gut impulse was to find a new home for her, but Godiva has been with our family for some time, and I wasn't too excited about saying good-bye to her. Besides which, Myra and Logan LOVE her, regardless of her tendency to hurt them. So, I pondered declawing her, but I have always been opposed to random mutilation, even for a good cause. Then I found this - http://www.softpaws.com/, and we decided to give it a go.
So, a few scratches later (ouch!)...

Godiva has a new set of lovely blue claws. We'll see how well she adjusts, and just how well this works...

Katie, that is too funny. I've never seen something like that. You'll have to keep us posted on how it works
