fingernail right now from a snappy Basset a vet once told me if your dog snaps
at a treat or food hold it in your flat palm and bend down to let them take it
out of your palm. They do not snap your fingers that way. Sometimes I forget to
do it though thus a bruise on my fingernail. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
