Anyone else a nail biter??

Floyd on My Blog - Fri, June 01 2007

I like to chew on my nails all the time. I keep them nice and short (and jagged) for mommy and daddy. My daddy took me to the vet about it and the vet said I have OCD. Whatever that means. I guess it all started a couple of years ago when I got fleas. My mommy and daddy tried everything and it seemed that the fleas were just too strong. But after a few weeks we finally got rid of them. But ever since then I keep chewing at my nails. Maybe I think the fleas are still in there?? Does anyone know how to make me stop? I love being a lap dog and jumping in people's arms, but they say that I hurt them with my jagged nails. I really love everyone and don't want to hurt them.

Thanks for your help!

Oh I forgot to mention that my mommy tried the bitter apple stuff, but I really don't mind it so much. But, I will tell her about filing my nails. I think it sounds like a great idea. Thanks!

My mommy uses bitter apple spray and that helps a lot. And when she trims my nails she uses a coarse nail file to make the edges less dangerous.
