No worries, I wasn't taking it as a bad thing!!
I just wanted to make sure everyone knew I wasn't neglecting her, hehe. But I definitely understand your concern. Having them ripped out worries me too. Blue's nails are worse. His quicks are ridicuously long, and the vet has cut the quick before trying to get them short (not cut on purpose though) and the nail was still so long that it twists to the side.
And I've never tried a dremmel before, but my vet who raises poodles was telling me the other day he invested in one and loves it. He told me where he got it, and I plan to go out soon and get one. I've heard great things about 'em!
